The white Pebble PIE

It has frequently happened that min
ers have discovered curious traces of
former workings. hundreds of years
ago, and tools have been found which
belonged to the ancient miners, and
many other relics. -
A singular discovery was made, a
few years since, by some workmen en-
gagged in the Spanish silver mine known
as the White Pebble Pit While dig
ging their subterranean passages they
suddenly found series Of apartments,
In which were q quantity of mining
tools, left there from a very remote
period, but still in such good preserva-
ton that there were hatchets, and
sleeves for sitting the ore, smelling
furnace, and two anvils. which proved
the earliest miners had great expert
snce in their operations.
In one Of the caverns. there was
round building, with inches, In which
were three statues, one sitting down,
and half the size Of life; the other two
were in a standing position, and about
three feet in height. This building Is
supposed, to have been the temple Of
the god who was believed, In pagan
times, to preside over mines. Several
objects Of art and some remarkable
instruments, were also found, which
have led scientific persons to think that
the workings might have been made
by the Phoenicians, the people who, as
s.well known, were,.in the time Of Sol
onion, famous for their manufacturing
and commercial genius.
In 1854 a discovery was made by
some miners excavating on the other
side of the mountain on which the
White Pebble Pit is situated; this was
q fine figure of the heather god Her
cules, which was found In an old work
ing.
In digging for copper on the shores
Of Lake Superior, in this country, the
miners have made many similar dis.
coveries, showing that the mines were
worked ages ago,

A letter was received at San Fran

Bryant, the soldier who recently swore
to sensational affidavit to the effect
that he saw Rev. ]. G. Gibson, pastor
of Emanuel church, carrying the body
OF q woman up to the belfry on the
date of the Blanche Lamont murder,
which effectually disposes of the docu-
ment. and proves the unreliability Of
the writer. Although this letter was
mailed at Monte Vista, Colo, several
days after Bryant made his affidavit, he
states he never saw either Gibson or
Durrant to his knowledge, but that two

Bigsby, had offered him $1,000 to
swear that he was in the church at the
time when the murder was committed
and that Gibson committed the crime.
Nothing is known of either woman.
