LAST COPPER MINE.
Miss EvnnGeItna Garcia Searching
Tor supposed cipher Descrip-
ton OF Its Location.

Miss Evangelna Garcia has arrived at
the Broadway Central hotel New York.
TO prosecute her search for the descend
ant OF a Spanish prospector named Juan
Lopez. This descendant is supposed to
possess a cipher giving the location Of
valuable copper mine in Mexico. In
1S0S Henri Garcia, the grandfather of
Miss Garcia, was prospecting in MeNi-
co with Juan Lopez. One day they dis
covered a copper mine which gave every
promise of great value. \ description
of the exact location of the mine WAS
written down in form of an elaborate
cipher. Garcia was killed. Juan Lopez
disappeared after the death of his part
ner. Miss Garcia began her search for
the precious document nearly a year
ago. Three weeks ago she received a
letter in Spanish telling her that Juan
Lopez, the son of her grandfather's
partner, had been in New York in 1895.
