A MEXICAN MINE,
Primitive Methods Used In Operating the
Property of the Oaxaca Family.


Property of the Oaxaca Family.
Samuel b. Brilliant. a former Colo
RADIO mining man, who has for the past
i've years been engaged in mining in
Chihuahua, Mexico, is ut the Albany
hotel. chihuahua is the mining CEN
ter of the state of chihuahua" said he,
which Is mainly placer mining coun-
Try, the greatest producing district be-
ing that of Placer de Guldeloupe. In
this district there is one of the most
peculiar mining propositions that
have ever heard of, and that is the
OaNaca mine, owned by the OaXaca
brothers. This property has been in
the OaXaca family for generations. and
is somewhat celebrated for its produc
tion of crystalized gold specimens. The
methods employed in the mining of this
property are entirely primitive, and the
seams are followed occasionally, bug
hole being found, and 1t is in these that
the wonderful specimens of crystalized
gold are found. These holes are about
two inches in diameter and produce
from 5000 to 81 800 worth of pure crys-
talized gold in beautiful specimen for
nations
"rhe really novel part about the mine
is the manner in which il is worked.
The OaXaca brothers live in adobe huts
and clothe themselves only in breech
cloths, familiar to all hot countries.
Miners are sent down into the mine
and drill the holes and prepare the
blasts, and after the explosions The
OaXaca family take charge and pick
out all the free gold and rich speci-
mems, leaving the balance of the prod
uct to the miners, who divide it up and
take that rs the pay for their labor
The OaXaca has been mined much after
| this fashion for many years, and the
owners are reputed to have upwards of
Il quarter of a million dollars stored
away in the adobe hutS. but with Il all
they have no one of the pleasures of
| the world, not even the clothes or
home of an ordinary person. The most
important matter of interest in this Sec
tion of Mexico at the present time is
the completion of the Corilitas rail
way, which runs from III Paso to Coril-
litas, state of Chihuahua, and opening
up vast area of agricultural lands
and an immensely wealthy mining
country. This road will take many peo-
pie into the country, and will do Won
ders In the development of the state.

A destructive cyclone passed through

southeast of the village of Lowry.
Every building in the village of Lowry

THE INDIANS JUSTIFIED.
Uprising of Natives Justified by British
Socialists.

London, July 7-Hyndman, the English
Socialist leader will publish an article
in the next edition of Justice, the Socia-
list organ, on the subject of the Indian
riots. 1t isssfull of accusations against the
government, is insulting to the Queen
and concludes with ''Now let us say
plainly, as Englishmen who are utterly
sick of the infamous wrong and robbery
done in our name, who would gladly see
the villains tried and hanged, from Lord
George Hamilton (the secretary of state
for India), upwards, who have created
the famine and murdered natives by the
millions. that if ever rebellion was justi-
fed in the history of the world, it is justi-
fled in British India today. No more in
tolerable tyranny ever crushed and ruined
a suffering people.
Thanks to the work of our forefath-
ers, even this cabinet of reactionists can
not suppress Justice or blow up social
democratic Englishmen from guns with
out trial, though have not the slightest
doubt they would gladly do it if they
dared. The natives of India are quite
right to revolt and organize for the de-
struction of their infamous rule, and the
sooner their emancipation comes the bet
ter every democrat and socialist IN the
country will be pleased. A copy of this
issue of Justice is going to every native
newspaper in India, in order that the
natives may know that an active section
of Englishmen wish them speedy deliv-
erance from their OppreSSOrs.
