SCENES IN WONDERLAND.
Silver, Lead, Copper and Iron Ore
n the Monterey District.

n the Monterey District.
MONTERREY, N. L. Jan. IA, '96.
To the Daily LIGHT:
The mineral resources of the
Monterey district are, to all APP
pearanees, inexhaustible. During
the past five years a large number
of mines have been discovered, and
no small number of them are be-
ing worked, as will be seen later
on. .
Twenty years ago your CORE
spondent visited this city for the
first time. There was not a mine
worked in the district, and it is
doubtful if there were half a dozen
mines known to exist in or about
the city, although the opinion was
general that the mountains sur
rounding Monterey contained more
or less silver-lead ore.
1t was not until after the MeXi-
can National railroad reached this
city, in September, 1882, that there
were any efforts made to work the
mines that were known to exist
here then, or to discover new
ones.
After the opening of the road,
miners and prospectors poured in
to the country. They GENE from
all parts of the United States,
but especially from Colorado,
New Mexico and California, and
later on from the Northwest and
Eastern states. They procured
guides and explored the adjacent
mountains. They discovered and
located a number Of silver, lead
and copper mines. But as there
were no smelters any nearer than
Kansas City, Mo, to ship the ore
to, and on account of the mining
laws that prevailed in Mexico at
that time, they had to work the
mines so many months in the year
and get out so many tons of ore, or
they forfeited their title to the
mines, and the next man that
came along could denounce them
and take possession. But he was
subject to the same law; hence
there was no ore taken out.
That law has been repealed, and
an annual tax has been levied on
all mines, and the owners are not
required to work them. 1t was not

manned ut the camp, and, sure enough,
two days after the promised game ap-
peared in sight, and the Dutchmcn, with
thankful heart, made great haul.
From that moment "the man of pray

Chinese Treatment of Children.

However little liked the Cinnamon
may be by his white neighbors, I have
at all times found that the Chinese had
at least one good and praiseworthy Qua!-
ity-the kindness shown by all of them
toward their children. The poorest
parents always seem able to save enough
money to array their little ones in gay
garments on New Years day or other
holidays. The children in turn seem to
be remarkably we'll behaved and respect
full toward their elders, and rarely if
ever receive corporal punishment. They
seem very happy, and apparently enjoy
their childhood more than most Ameri-
can children On almost any sunny day
the fond and proud father may be seen
at every turn in Chinatown carrying his
brightly attired youngster in his arms
Other little tots, hardly old enough to
feel quite steady on their legs, toddle
about with infants strapped on their
backs They do not appear to mind this,
and it does not seem TO interfere with
their childish pastimes About the time
Of the Chinese New Year Chinese chill
dren are particularly favored, ans the
fond fathers deny them nothing. The
little ones always appear to be well pro-
vided with pocket money to buy toys
