From the Chihuahua Enterprise.
Sometimes a man of talent as concealed
behind dull exterior Some months ago
a Mexican from Sonora was employed as
a woodchopper at Phoenix, Arr he was
a very good woodchopper, and by his EN-
cheney in that profession alone ne won
the confidence and respect of his employ
er. 1t transpired, though, that he was
something more than a woodchopper. lie
was a man of geographical information
and a past master in the art of map draw
ing He put a sample of has work on eN-
hibition and it commanded rapt attention.
1t represented a section of Sonora in the
vicinity of Magdalena. and it contained
the designation of a spot marking the
site of a mine of marvellous wealth. He
had been there and knew all about it. The
existence of the map and mine became
known to a dozen of the wisest, best and
foremost men of Phoenix. They gave the
Mexican all the consideration he desired
and then formed a syndicate for the redls-
covery and development Of the mine, from
the Mexicans glowing description OF
which convinced them that they had the
world by the tail on 30 per cent grade
pulling downward. ABOUT two weeks ago
a member of the syndicate, the Mexican
and the map went to Sonora to give II
another vank. The member of the syndl-
cate returned later alone. He admitted to
other members of the syndicate that
startling discovery had been made The
SPOT designated on the map as the site or
the mine was easily located. Ihey sunk
a shaft and came upon some human
bones. Then they drifted among more
and having exhausted that pocket they
estimated that they had bones enough
for sixteen skeletons. Thinking there
might be an error, they prospected a
while in the vicinity. Nearly every smart
led to a deposit of bones, until the con-
1,iction was finally forced upon them that
thew were mining in a graveyard. Ii was
too so old a graveyard that all surface
indications had long since disappeared,
So that il couldn't be the mining site the
Mexican had in mind when he constructed
his map The syndicate Is not yet as
la,,,aoad. il believes that mine is some
where an that neighborhood, but that the
hearings are wrong.
