came from these provinces. When the
proverbial dishonesty of Spanish offi-
Gals is considered, this estimate may
be at least doubled. Spanish records
aud statements of travellers. the records
of missions and the histories of ia antilles
who have been ennobled through rich
dicoveries, verify these facts which con-
vey with them a tinge OF oriental ro-
nance. The Sierra Nevadas, which
traverse Nevada and California, and
which have electrified the world with
their richness, reappear-Mexico as the
Sierra Madre, and forms the boundary
line between Sonora and chihuahua.
Sonora is the richer of the two, beca use
it contains not only silver, but also
gypsum, sulphur, pumice stone and
salt, the latter of which is necessary
for the extraction of silver, and il has
an equable climate and soil equal TO

of the mountain is the long-since aban-
Joined mine of Arazuma, or Avishe, not
far from Chihuahua-the most wonder
full mine in the world. from which was
taken one piece of silver weighing 2,70o
pounds. the largest piece taken from
any mine in the history Of the world.
This is proven by mining records in
the City of Mexico. This famous bo-
nanza was discovered about two cen.
turtles ago, and for about 100 years il
produced such immense masses Of vir'

richness of the FL Dorado she sent an
army to conquer Mexico and destroyed
a civilization superior to her own.
After the Spaniards had thus proven
the almost inexhaustible richness of
these mines the Apaches, smarting I'M

The mining fever died out for a quar-.

railroad extends for about two miles

The loss OF the hair Is one OF the most
serious losses a woman can undergo.
Beautiful hair gives many a woman a
claim to beauty which would be utterly
wanting II the locks we're short and
scanty. II is almost as serious a loss when
the natural hue OF the hair begins to fade,
and the shining tresses OF chestnut and
auburn are changed to gray or to a AIDED
shadow OF their former brightness. Such
a loss is no longer a necessity. There Is
one remedy which may well be called a
great remedy by reason OF its great. sue
cess in stopping the falling. Of the hair,
cleansing the scalp Of dandruh. and re.
storing the lost color to gray or faded
t~resses. DR.. Ayers Hair vigor IS a stand

The resignation was entirely unex-
pected. The chief gave as his reason
hat the position is unpleasant and tire
'ome. and that the duties Of a police
department do not constitute "a bed CT

John +. Dolan was appointed head OF

mission feel that the department has
sustained loss.
The selection of his successor may

.aion regarding the new chief, Some
" that neither Kane nor Chambers
will be selected, and that the next

luainted TO the Police Department
'aptain Chambers has been asked &
lpply fer the position, but refused o.

lry of $1,000 a year.
When the position of chief was frs.
rendered to Mr. Dolan he refused point
blank to accept, but the commission

applicants for chief, but Chief Dolan
avs he never was an aspirant for the

Captain Kane would be an applicant
for the position, but this the captain
denies.
Several conjectures have been made

Rumor has it that Simon p. Doherty

year ago Chief Dolan sent his resigna
ton TO the Board of Police Commission
but it was not accepted. Il is alsC

WE'RE EARLY ARRIVALS.
This is an important day in Metho-

orable one because Of the dissatisfac-

cial meeting Of the presiding bishop
with his cabinet-the presiding elders
because they are charged with bungling
the appointments and almost wrecking
several Of the churches.

ministers who had been delegated to
