was found. The bulk OF this silver
came from these provinces. When the
proverbial dishonesty of Spanish otti-
cials is considered, this estimate may
be at least doubled. Spanish records
and statements OF travellers, the records
OF missions and the histories of families
who have been ennobled through rich
discoveries, verify these facts which con-
vey with them 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, because
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 it has
an equable climate and soil equal to
that Of California. On the Sonora side
OF the mountain is the long-since aban-
doned mine of AraZuma, or Avishe, not
ia: from Chihuahua-the most wonder
full mine in the world, from which was
taken one piece of silver weighing 2,7o0
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-
gin silver that it seemed for time as if
the white metal were to be debased sure

Cleaning Furs mt Home.

All dark specimens are best renovated
with mahogany or fine cedar sawdusr,
which is kept in stock by furriers, and
of which enough to clean a dozen gar
ments can be purchased for small
sum. Place the garment fiat on a bare
table, fur side up, take handful of
sawdust and rub it thoroughly into the
hairs. Spare neither sawdust nor
strength, for the appearance of the fur
afterwards will warrant the lavish use
of both. When the garment has been
thus treated, take it up and shake it
lightly over the table, when great deal
of the sawdust win fall out. This should
be gathered up and carefully saved.
Now lay upon table a pillow in its slip,
and over it spread the garment, fur side
down this time, and beat it thoroughly
with a light switch. Move the pillow
along as it is needed, so as to always
have smooth support for the garment.
Take it up. shake lightly, brush the
pillow and table, and continue beating
until the fur is free from sawdust, when

Especial Los Angeles (Cal) letter.
Recent reports of discoveries, or
rather rediscoveries, of rich silver mines
in the adjoining Mexican states of So
nora and Chihuahua have turned a
large number of prospectors in that
direction, which will somewhat coun-
teract the rush to the arctic. Since
the exhaustion of the Nevada mines
prospectors have percolated through
Arizona into Sonora and chihuahua. A
few rich strikes, followed by the usual
general rush to the new FL Dorado, will
hasten the inevitable-the acquisition
by the United States of these provinces,
which hang like ripe peach ready to
drop into the hands Of anyone who is
willing to grasp them. These states

eminent as the crly relief from the
pundering Indians. The ranchers
realize that stable government would
enhance the value of their property and
the laborers feel that they would then
have some incentive to accumulate
property, and the mines could be
worked in greater security. Indian
raids have been the greatest drawback
to the development of the mines. Yet
more silver has been taken from the

Another remarkable discovery was
that of the fabulously rich Catorce Lad

Potosi. A negro fiddler "a rarity in
Mexico). on his return from fandango,
camped on the mountain. In the morn
ing he found in the embers of his camp
fire chunk of pure silver. He had
built the fire over the vein. He was not
ennobled. but we next learn that the
mine had been located by IA robbers,
as the camp has borne the name of
Catorce for more than century. A
railroad extends for about two miles
under the mountain to haul out ores.
At this distance an immense cavern was
found. recently. in which was found
primitive mining implements.
There is great deal of American cap
ital invested in mines in these two rich
provinces; also, considerable English
capital, yet it is by no means scarce be-
cause of the Apache Indians who live
by plundering others. The Mexican
government gives little or no protection
to these provinces. and the wealth of
the foreigners is also tempting to Next

But. with an increasing population,

Considering the crude methods of
mining in those days these mines GER

The ore was carried up by the poems in
leather sacks by means of wooden lad
ders. The shafts were not prospected
to depth beyond 20 or 30 feet, and
when they became filled with water or

But is it not a singular fact that they

anyone ever investigated the similar

May not these mound builders have

Egyptians?
What became of the lost tribes of

pyramids. making bricks without
straw?
The mound builders, by their work,
manifestly were more like the pyramid
makers of Egypt than like any other
people. When we wonder why pyra-

built, and whether or not they were
