General Butler Has His Field Glasses
 Returned to uim.

A recent Washington telegram says When MaiorGeneral M C. Butler re- turned from South Carolina he found a neatly arranged express package. When this was opened a pair of field glasses was foudd. Accompanying them was note from a Mrs. Kemper of Virginia, saying that she had come into possession of them after the severe wOunding of General Butler From this wound the general lost a leg. General Butler instantly recog- niZed the glasses as having belonged to him when he was confederate officer. Swinging them across his shoulder he said: "Well, this is some thing to think about. The last time l wore this l was confederate officer Now am Yankee" The last word was used with pride.
 The New York camp of Sons Of the American Revolution has decided to present General Butler with a splen- did horse and trappings. At the same time the camp will present Brigadier General Fred Grant with beautiful sword. John c. Calhoun, an ex-confed. crate, will make the presentation to General Grant, and Dr. French, an ex- federal soldier, will make the presen- tation to General Butler at Camp Alger.

des, Chihuahua, as follows: S. E.
 Phillips, of Chicago, an expert ma
 chinist in the handling of mining ,machinery arrived here this evening
 from Dos Cabezas mines. He had been over in Sonora experimenting the erection of mining machinery and
 when he finished the work was in-
 formed that D. A. King and the
 Campbell Brothers were putting in
 new machinery at their mines near
 Dos Cabezas. "So,n says Mir Phillips,
 ''I decided.t0 go across to Dos Cabe- gas and secure work. On the Ar0s
 river out west of San Leon 1 found
 two Mexicans and three Indians en-
 camped on the river bank. 1 spent
 the night with them and while sit
 ting around the camp fire that night
 one of the Mexicans told me his party
 was hunting gold and had met with
 fine success This information caused
 me to open up bottle of mescal that
 l had slowed away in my blankets.
 Before the bottle was empty one of the Mexicans who said he lived at
 Bisbee, AriZ., and who could speak
 English, became confidential and
 brought out three little sacks con-
 tanning altogether about three pounds
 of gold dust. He explained to me
 that himself and friends had found
 the gold ia pockets on the
 river bank l asked him what kind
 of pockets and he said that holes
 made in the solid rsck by the con-
 stant beat of rain water from the
 mountains at points where the noun
 tain extended right up to the waters edge. He said that these holes were full of sand, but that under the sand
 was found plenty of gold. Next
 morning at breakfast again inquired about the gold pockets, and my Mex ican friend promptly denied his story of the night before and said be was only joking and that the gold he had shown me came from the Yaqui river; and when l insisted on talking about the gold the fellow grew sullen and intimated that had better be nov ing on. l had no more mescal with ] which to loosen his tongue and so concluded to take his advice and 1, move on. But 1 was determined to 1 get peep at those gold pockets, for | was satisfied the Mexican had,
 while under the genial influence of my mescal told me the truth about the gold. As l had drifted south a long distance out of my way, turned north following the river A short distance from the camp 1 went down into the river at point where a spur Of the Sierra Madre made steep bluff right over the river bank, and there, almost down to the waters edge and within few yards of each other, found three large pockets that had been made in the solid rocks by the rain water which had for many years rushed down the moun- tain side in gulches to fall distance of twenty feet in the rocks below. Tn front of which was fresh pile of sand, which had covered the gold that the Mexican showed me. I knew it would not do for me to be found there those holes. But l am go- Ing to El Paso and send for three friends in Chicago, who l know will stay with me, and we are going back after some Of that gold. It came ' from the mountains and can be found { n similar pockets up the mountain side just as well as on the river"
