EASY LIFE IN NICARAGUA,

When the F. mily Is Out of Money Some
Body Goes Out and Gets Little Gold.
From the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat: when l was IN the Olancho
district, in Nicaragua, last month";"
said visitor who is largely interesting
in mining in Central America, Il had
an opportunity of seeing how the lazy
natives tap natures till when they
need some small change. Near our
camp by the river was hut occupied
by typical Honduranian family, con-
sistfng of husband and wife, grand
father and grandmother, and a dozen
or so assorted children. The only one
of the crowd who did anything except
rest and smoke was the wife. At in
tervals OF perhaps a week she would
sally out with the family tin-pan, erst-
while used for cooking, and proceed to
an old placer digging on the river
bank, There she would squat, throw
a few gourds full of dirt into the pan,
fill it up with water and begin the
usual circular motion Of gold-washing.
She was very skillful and would keep
a little sheet of dirty water spraying
over the edge like a miniature cataract.
When the water was exhausted few
spoonsful of sand would be left in the
bottom of the pan, and, spreading it
out thin, with bit of stick, she would
60 over it, grain by grain, looking for
color Whenever she saw a speck of
gold she noistened the, stick upon her
tongue and picked up the particle by
adhesion. Each bit of the precious
metal was stored away in quill plugg-
ed with clay at the ends, and have
know her to take out as much as
quarter Of an ounce in the course of
day. Usually her limit was about 81,
and when she got that she stopped.
Then the head of the house would
arise languidly and start for the near
est store twelve miles away. Some
times he would trade the whole amount
for whiskey, but as rule he brought
back tobacco, salt, meal and calico.
There are hundreds of native families
who live in exactly tie same manner
in Olancho Sometimes the woman
will be lucky enough to strike rich
pocket, that will yield dollar or more
a pan, but they never dream of wash
ing it out at once and getting a stake.
1t simply means that they can secure
their usual amount with less work. )"

His Bloody Eule Necessary to Restore
Order.
"A great many hard things have
been said about President Zelaya," re-
marked, one who is well acquainted
with the masterful head OF the Mica
downtown hotels the other night. I'm
this country he is generally supposed
to be a bloodthifsty despot. ruling by
sheer force of the terror he inspires,
and the papers express surprise that
he has rot been wiped out long ago by
revolution. Such a conception of the
man is altogether inaccurate. It is
true that Zelaya is a dictator, Or at
least more of a dictator than any OF
the other Central American presidents,
but he is far from despot. At the
time he took his seat the country was
torn by conflicting factions and it was
necessary for him to use an iron hand
to restore order. Every department
had it's revolutionary junta, headed by
desperate adventures who were SIM
ply out for the loot, and under such
conditions prosperity and progress
were absolutely impossible. To in
woke the ordinary processes of the law
would have been absurd, and Zelaya
| adopted the only feasible means for
suppressing the disturbing element.
He seized the malcontents wherever
they could be found. stood them up
against a wall and shot them. I dare
say a good many innocent men were
executed, but in such an emergency
the rule is: When in doubt shoot the
prisoner It seems hideously cruel
here in the United States, but if there
is any other way of dealing with the
habitual Nicaraguan reyolutionist ex
perience has failed to discover it. Dia,
did exactly the same thing when h'
first took the reins in Mexico, and
there is no denying the fact that Ze
laya's subsequent administration hal
been the nearest approach to civilized
government that Nicaragua has evel
enjoyed. Schools have been estab
lished, laws have been enforced, prop
erty rights have been respected and
number OF great commercial enter
prises have been set on foot. The re
cent drastic measures that have beel
, taken to tip new revolt in the bu
at Managua seem to me entirely justi

The length of the year is 365
