been probably when the first one was dis
covered, thousands of years ago.
Then followed decades of struggling In
the deserts Of New Mexico and Arizona
struggling fer wealth that perslstently
hid. Hundreds Of brave men died in the
search, the adventures thinned out until
finally the turquoise mines of New Mexl
&C became little more than memory.
Interest in turquoises became intense
half century ago, when 1t was said
that the mines Of Persia were exhausted.
This led to close study of the great
turquoises in the possession Of the
crowned heads. Tt was found that the
Persian gems did not equal IN size or
luster the ancient stones that had been
acquired by the Spaniards centuries back.
The question arose from whence these re-
markable brilliants came?
Study and research revived the legends
of the lost mines of New Mexico. and
adventurous spirits from New York Lon
don, Paris and tho City OF Mexico set
out to search for them. The search mar
rowed down until the turquoise mines
were definitely located In Central New
Mexico

found on guard over those old hidden

from the mines and sent off to the south
ward, where they were exchanged for
food and other material things. From
Mexico the turquoises were spread
through the West Indies, where they
came under the observation of the early
Spanish explorers, men who had Followed
the footsteps of Columbus with the In
tention Of Selling whatever wealth they
might find.
In Mexico the explorers learned that
the mines from which the turquoises
came were TO the northward, and to the
northward worked the intrepid adventuI-
ers Years of fighting followed before the
savage possessors of the mines were final
ly driven away.
GEMS WENT FIRST TO SPAIN.
The Spaniards had stolen or bought the
finest of the turquoises in the possession
of the Indians, and these had eventually
found their way to Spain. The crown
| jewels of that country comprise some of
| the finest turquoises known. From Spain
| the jewels were scattered to the royal
courts of the continent. They were more
| precious than diamonds and much harder
| to secure.
When the Spaniards had succeeded in
land they started to hunt for the tur-
| quoise mines The search was not sue
cessful The Spaniards, upon reaching
| the fields they had fought so hard to pos
sess, found themselves in what seemed to
| be a deserted country. There was no
] more sign of turquoise than there had

hills to the south and east Of Santa Re.
A company Of New York capitaliSks
threw money and men into New Mexice-
so much and so many that the guardians
Of the mines were compelled 10 slink
away. Hidden passages were opeI.ed VI
and turquoises Of rare value were tak4n
out. The first important discovery was
made five years ago, when n stone wa1
found that was sold for 5000 to a New
York millionaire. This settled the Local

from the Indians by the Spanish invaders
of tie sixteenth century.
There are turquoises and turquoises all
over the arid plains of the Southwest,
writes a Santa Fe, New Mexico, CORE
spondent of the New York Journal. Tour
lists buy a hatful of turquoises for a dol
lar and find, when they get back to the
East, that they have been cheated. Other
tourists pay large sums for single tur-
quoise, which is disposed of something
after the method used by gold brick sales
men. But these turquoises are pasty and
full of flaws and dull of color. They are
as to the real turquoise such as Is now
being dug from the mines of Los Cerriilos
as a glass doorknob is to the Kohinoor.
Romances without end are buried in the
histories of the turquoise mines of New
Mexico. Rivers of blood have been shed
in battle over the possession of these
priceless repositories of precious stones.
The old Indian lore Of the Southwest
reeks with traditions of the turquoise
mines of New Mexico. for the value of

AGAIN THE MOTORMEy.
Excessive Speed Charged Against
Men on BriChtwood Line.

Charles Shaw and Edward Lambert who
are employed as motormen on the Bright
wood railway, were fined s. each I'm the
Police Court today for running their cars
at a rate of speed in excess OF fifteen miles
an hour, the limit fixed by law in the
county. Policemen Rout and O'Brien were
the prosecuting Witnesses Their charge
was that Shaws car attained a speed OF
eighteen miles hour. and that Lamberts
car went as fast as twenty-one miles an
hour.
The defendants said they had been on the
road long enough to become familiar with
the speed OF cars, and they were certain
the instruments on the po,icemen's wheels
had not registered correctly Lambert said
his car was up grade at the time
charged, and that it could not possibly have
moved at the rate of twenty-one miles an
hour According to the statements of the
defendants their cars were on time, and
there was no reason for them to violate the
law.
Conductor Barbee, who was on Of
the cars. also gave testimony. He said he
knew from experience that the car that
Lambert was running did not make the
speed stated by the policemen. He main
tanned that there was something wrong
about the tachometers on the policemen's
wheels.
They are tested almost every day" said
Prosecuting Attorney Pugh, and they are
supposed to be correct"
why not put them on the cars and then
try the cars instead of the men?" inquired
one of the motormen.
That's for you to do said Mr. Pugh.
Then If your instrument shows a speed
different from the instrument on the Off
GERS wheels that can be made part Of the
defense"
The defendants said they had no way OF
determining the. exact speed OF the cars.
In disposing of the case Judge Scott sug-
gested that the railroad companies should
devise some means Of assisting the motor
men In telling the speed of their cars. He
thought the motormen might time their
cars between mile posts and get good idea
of the rate of speed.
Edward Smith, motorman on Chevy
Chase car was also tried. Policeman Rout
testified that Smiths car was running at
the rate of seventeen miles an hour on U
street. The defendant said his car was eN-
actly on time. He is expected to make the
trip from New York avenue to the loop In
fifteen minutes, he said, and on last nights
trip he had made very few stops. In order
to make the time arranged for the trip his
car has to average about eight or nine
miles an hour. He thought his car was not
going at an unlawful rate of speed at the
time charged.
fine of 81 was imposed.
