tricts that are working at the l,0J0-foot
level today and growing richer as they
go down. AriZona's climatic condi.
tions for mining are unexcelled in any
mining country in the world-no win
ter, no avalauches. You can eat your
breakfast at your mine and your sup
per in your orange grove. Arizona is
the ideal mining country of the world,
aud the mining fraternity will only
have to investigate it and be convinced
of the fact.
The outlook for quartz mining in the
Ketchiken district of southeastern
Alaska, one Of the young camps, is very
fiattering. In the district are about
l,50J people, mostly miners and pros
pectors. The town has but 400 of this
mum Der, the others being ia the various
ad jacent camps or prospecting in the
hills. Six new postottices have been
established this summer. A postottice
inspector, who recently visited each
camp, will report to the department
that in every town there are all signs
of permanency. His visit was to pre-
vent the establishment of postotfices in
camps that we're on wheels. One man
who recently returned from the Ketch-
ikan district says that he has walked a
mile on the surface of a gold bearing
ledge. The ore bodies, as a rule, are
said to be about five feet in width.
Outside of pay streak of very few
inches, which will sometimes average
as much as LOG to 200S to the ton, the
whole ledge will usually assay from 81
to l0$. The ore is free milling and
smelling. There is now at Helm bay
a five.stamp mill, which is doing we'll
but most of the mine owners are going
ahead, blocking out several years ore
before going to the expense of erecting
mills. The values of the camp are
mostly gold in the base ores as we'll as
in the free milling, but in Kni block
and Kasson bay there are copper show.
ings which are attracting much atten
ton. The only alluvial deposits are
little spots at the foot of the ledges aud
are too small to work as placers. Only
in one case are the properties more
than two miles from salt water. In
that the distance is five miles. Many
of them are right in the water and easy
of access. Most of them are tunnel
propositions, making them easier and
cheaper to work. One, however, has
three shafts down thirty-tive feet each
200 feet apart, and has ore blocked out

A Curious Indian.

Mr.. j. c. Durham Of Copper Noun
tain, has in his employ an Indian from
southern Mexico, who claims to be an
Aztec and thoroughly educated in the
Aztec language, and Mr.. Durham is
convinced that he tells the truth. Near
Durham station there is large amount
of "picture writing" on the rocks which
is supposed TO have been written by
the Aztecs. The second day after the
the Indians arrival at the station, Mr..
Durham took him to the rocks and
pointed to the "picture writing" He
seemed surprised and delighted, and
at once commenced to read the char
acters. After reading them he told
Mr.. Durham that they were dated 1887
and stated that about one quarter of a
mile in a certain direction he would
find the ruins of an Aztec town. Mr..
Durham knew the ruins we're there aud
asked the Indian if he could go to them
by the directions given in the writing,
and he replied in the affirmative, then
went direct to the ruins. He also told
Mr.. Durham that the piles of rock near
the ruins, which the latter had sup
posed were graves, denoted where the

The owners are said to have refused a
cash offer of that amount. To pros
pect the country the only difficulty is
that the ground is mostly covered with
moss, which hides the groupings from
view. The mountains are not rugged
as the Olympics and the Cascades. The
tops of the ranges are open parks, with
carpet of grass, and a paradiSe for
deer, which are found there in great
mum bers. United States Postotfice In
spector John P. Clum is reported as
saying that the extent of the Cape
Nome gold belt far exceeds that of the
Klondike Several of the new creeks
in which gold is known TO be in paying
quantities are from fifty to l2J miles
from Nome, and in various directions.
Mr.. Clum says he belongs to the class

Aztecs, when they left the country,
had buried their idols. lie stated that
according to the writing on the rocks
he would find these idols by sinking to
a vertical depth of thirteen feet and
drifting in a certain direction ten feet.
He offered to prove the truth of his
Interpretation of the writing by digging
up some of the idols. He also stated
that according to the writings on the
rock, that in a certain direction and
certain distance would be found very
large, square house, and that in Ger
tain corner Cf a certain room in this
building, ollas containing tablets OF
of stone giving Aztec history had been
buried, and that the tablets also gave a
history of and directions to gold mines
worked by the AZtecS. The direction
and distance he read from the rocks
aud the description of the building,
indicated that the old Casa Grande
ruin was the building referred to. He
writes these Aztec characters on paper
with pencil as readily as we write
English words, and writes and reads
them from left to right, the same as we
do in English. But the most peculiar
thing about this Indian curiosity is the
fact that when you point out to him
any anima! or object and ask him the
English name of it, he will write it
down in what he declares is Aztec and
then write under it the English name
correctly in English letters, but can
not pronounce it. He explains this by
saying that his father, who was an
Aztec scholar. also knew the English
alphabet aud taught it TO him; that
there are the same number of char
acters in the Aztec alphabet as there
are in the English alphabet and that
the arrangement of them is such that
by taking the English letters by mum
Der they will correspond with the nun
Der of the Aztec character in the Aztec
alphabet. For instance, you point to
cat and ask him to give the name 10
English. He will write it ia Aztec first.
The numbers of Aztec characters will
correspond with the third, first and
twentieth letters of our alphabet, con
sequeutly he will write G AT, but
could not write it without first writing
it in his own language. We shall learn
something more of this strange char
acter. He may be able, by reading the
"picture writing" which is heard all
over this country, to give us some in-
teresting history of this ancient land

Chihuahua Mineral Outlook.

John Davidson, of Chihuahua, who
has been at the Plaza hotel for the past
few days left this morning for busi-
ness trip over the Sierra Madre line,
says the Industrial Record. For three
years previous to the first of last Aug.
ust Mr.. Davidson was su perintendent
of the Santa Domingo Mining Com
pany, whose property Is sixteen miles
from chihuahua to the mine. This
property is in the Santa Eulalia dis.
trict, the mines of which we're taken to
build the cathedral at Chihuahua.
There was tax of eight cents imposed
upon every six dollars worth of min
eral taken from the mines and in this
way 80 zoos was raised with which to
build the cathedral. This gives an
idea of how wealthy the properties are
aud how long they have been paving
ths operators, as the cathedral was
built the last century. Aud at the
time of the building of the cathedral
the ore was taken out Of the mines by
Mexicans carrying it upon their backs
supported by straps around their fore
heads. They were also compelled to
make the ascent out of the mine upon
a ladder made by cutting steps in an
upright log.
Mr.. Davidson says there is no doubt
but what the Stlwell road will be
built aud it will tap the richest min
eral belt of the state of chihuahua, and
he adds, "the state Is no slouch as a
mining country either" The road will
tap section of the country containing
iron ore so to 10 per cent pure that
Is now too far from the railroad to be
handled at profit. There is already a
boom on in the city of Chihuahua but
it is not to be compared with the boom
that will follow ths construction of the
Stilwell road through that city. With
the advent Of this road aud few more
American mining companies which are
sure to follow it, Mr.. Davidson says
that Mexico will give the United States
a pretty lively chase for the leading
mining country, for there are mex
haustible mineral deposits in the re.
public that may be worked to a great
profit when the road Is built. The road
will also traverse some of the richest
farming land in the world which can
be purchased for an Insignificant
amount, some OF the bert for ass iD
Mexican money. "Don't you know"
asked Mr.. Davidson, "that there will be
hundreds of citizens of the United
States rush to that rich country as
soon as they see that the road is sure
to be- built and the mining and farm
ing country both will be brought to
the front?"
In company with Henry Weitzig,
of Chihuahua, Mr.. Davidson will soon
enter the heart of the republic on a
business venture and as these gentle
men both have unlimited energy and a
good knowledge of the country the
public may expect to hear them max
ing rapid strides to succeed In the
country that will be opened up by the
coming therein of the Stilwell road
Mr.. Weitzig is machinist of the Kan
sas City Smelling and Refining com
pany and has been with that company
for nine years. He has been doing
some work at their Ell Paso smelter for
the past two months and is at the
Plaza now taking few DAYS rest.
