NAYSIDE NOTES.

Su NdDld Eltuh' "uSiS "oo No'N ially greeted aud made at once at home by NIT. c. II. Buffett. a gentle man well known in Nogales, who is in charge of the property, which, it is credibly reported will be again in operation early in the coming year if not before.
 The Santa Elena is one of the most famous mines in Sonora. It was own ed by General Pesqueira, who Oper- sted it forty tc fifty years ago. The ores were then packed down to Las Delicias, ard worked in ten-stamp mill the general erected at that point. He worked the mine to a depth of about 100 feet, on the incline of the ledge. and took out great deal of money. 1 have seen it estimated that the amount reached the sum of S3,O00, 900, but the estimate is believ- ed by some to be trifle high. But there is no doubt that the property furnished the general goodly part of the sinuew of war in his long and ardous struggles against revolution ists, Apaches and Yaquis, and the French, through an eventful period in the history of Sonora extending some twenty years-from 1856 to 1871.
 In 1882 General Pesquera sold the mine to company of New York and Boston capitalists, who erected on the property big 60-stamp mill and other improvements, aud worked the mine on al extensive scale, open- ing np new ground, adjacent to that worked by Pesqueira, following the ledge to depth of 250 feet, and pene- trating beneath the old workings. In some places the rich ore extended the full width ol the ledge, about sixty feet and, in others it narrowed to two or three feet.
 In 1895 the property was taken over by the Consolidated Gold Fields oi Mexico (Limited) an English Company which extended the perpendicular shaft to depth of 565 feet, erected { big cyanide plant, etc, and conducted operations on very extensive scale
 The Santa Elena ledge stands uI out of the ground, against the foot wall tat least that part which was nol quarried out for the rich ore) for { distance of a thousand feet or more and can be traced about 5000 feet where it is cut off by deep canon Tue highest point stands more thar one hundred feet above the hill oi which the ledge is a crest, and iI Pesqueira's time that was cut dowI to the level where the underground workings begin. The foot wall and it' backing of porphyry stand up in the air, a most conspicuous object, dis cernlble long distance. In pace' along that wall the ledge was quarrieC out for a width of fifty feet, all d yerl high grade, gold bearing rock. From tunnels below one can go into where the ledge was cut out, and can looE up to the open SKY the surface of the ground nearly 100 feet above: and intC the depths below the eye can follow the enlarging and narrowing place where the rich ore was cut out. + many places the walls, which pitch al an angle of about sixty degrees, ar, supported by pillars of ore left fl place The vein is a true Assure arising netween porphyry walls.

ries and this somewhat accounts for his venturing into the secret recesses of their watery home. They drove into the lake which was swimming deep to the hors- es from the word go, but MT. Marsh was so loaded down with fish stories that the wagon would not float at all. By some mishap or other, the horses became un- hitched and as MT. Marsh had become so enchanted with his ferry boat drawn by two horses, he was oblivious of all that hap pened, but held right on to the lines with the horses going right on. This naturally pulled him over the front-gate of the wagon bed into the lake. Oh! my! Such a splash.

excitement holds the two confeds spell bound for a few hours. On this particular occasion, they were in just the right mood to make a play on their vivid imagi- nation or unrole past experiences of actual occurance, The Major became so earnest and excited in his discourse of certain battles that the Col. could not hold in and both were making such elO- quent appeals and such harmoni- ous utterances that crowd soon gathered all unconscious to the two devOteeS. The Col. had just reached the highest and grandest flight of his Oration when with most forceful gesture, he knock ed an earthan- jar off the counter and great was the fall thereof. Low and behold the floor was be- decked with the fragments of the wreck. This brought him back from the realms of the past and he immediatly took in the situa- tion. The Major was still saving wood, but this the Col. soon stopp- ed. We are indeed sorry this grand review of the past came to so sudden a stand still and would have been glad to have heard the finale of the whole theme.
 We venture the assertion that the entire multitude assembled will treasure up these treatieses as bright gems of the past.

ten-cent-fsh-s -story-book. This occupied his mind so completely that he swan against logs and snags several times before he landed. As he came out of the water he proudly raised his book and said Thank God I saved that"
 The companion of MT. Marsh s troubles was still in the wagon bed, which had floated away as soon as it had been relieved of MT. Marsh and his story book. This was a spectacle never to be forgotten. To see the wagon bed with this young man floating with the breeze and every now and then striking against a snag projecting from the water.
 The section boss says this whole occurance was one of the most laughable experiences of his life and as everyone knows that is saying great deal. The horses were soon found standing on the bank, seemingly enjoying the whole affair also. With the aid of the section crew, the wag on was soon gotten out of the lake. Next, was to rescue the young man. I see the section boss now, standing on the bridge shouting with laughter.
 They finally decided to draw straws as to who should go to the rescue of the foater. The lot fell to MT. Marsh, so he quickly hid his little book for fear some one might deprive him of it's ownership and future use and went to work. This time with easy mind, not burdened with the welfare of the book, he soon lowed the bed to shore thus saving his friend from a watery grave as he could not have with stood the pillows of the lake much longer. The wagon was gotten ready for a homeward journey which our young friends soon made.
 The section crew will never forget this incident and had it not been for them the readers of the NEWS would not have had the chance of hearing of this ad- venture as Mr. Marsh and his friend had decided to keep it still.

 A most peculiar incident hap pened to our friend A. J. Marsh on his return from Augusta last Saturday. There were only two iu the wagon MT. Marsh and an other young man. They hadn t proceeded far on their home ward journey until they decided to go by Fakes instead of River side thus shortening the route two or three miles.
 As they arrived in the neigh borhood of Fakes, they were ar guing which way would be most advisable to cross Cache river bottom. One knew more about it than the other and both knew precious little about the myste- rious road as their adventure will unfold.
 Everyone knows the lake be- tween Cache river and Fakes. Well, through this watery sink hole our two young friends at tempted to drive, MT. Marsh had no doubt been reading some detective story judging from the amount of bravery and daring he manifested on this occasion.
 The fact is, as we found out later, that he had in his posses sion teR-cent book of fish stO-

TALE OF TWINS.
Answered. Requirements, but Prot. Hart
 Did Not Take Them

Did Not Take Them.
 Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart, profes- sor of American history at Harvard university, stands as one of the worlds highest authorities in his chosen field, and has published number of books on the history of this country. A story is told Of how he and Mrs. Hart recently decided to adopt two children. And the two were to be twins. They must not be ordinary twins, but were to be chosen under certain specified restrictions. They must be mere in. tants. so that the Harts could train them from the beginning of their con- sciousness. They must both be boys. They must be without spot or blem- ish. physically. They must be of good ancestry, in the sense that there must be no inheritance of crime-taint or of mental unsoundness And they must be e&trictly of an American fam jly. No touch of English or French or any othef nationality for several generations back was to be allowed. Among the friends of the couple, and among few orphan asylums and ehildren's homes the fact of the quest became known, and from time to time Prof. Hart was informed of twins that. it was thought would just suit him. He or Mrs. Hart would always travel to the spot and examine the twins, only to return disappointed, as they were always, according to the Of nrfc it, one or more of the specifications. But finally there came a notice of diff ferent character. It was from the director of a home who had already offered two sets of twins, only to have them declined. This time his notice was full of jubilant confidence. He had twins that he was absolutely posi- tive would answer the requirements in every specification This time MT. Hart could not fail to be pleased. So confident was his tone that both Prof. and Mrs. Hart journeyed together to look at the wonders. They found them just as represented. They were all that had been claimed for them. They were infant boys. They were physically perfect. They were of American ancestry. Authoritative records showed that the parents and grandparents had been without men, tai or moral taint But MT. and Mrs. Hart did not adopt them. They have since then found and adopted pair, but the twins that were shown them at that home, and which filled the specifications in every particular, were not taken. For the infant boys were black-Saturday Evening Post.

Tsxas Plant Said to Re Good Substi-
 tate for the Weli- Knoun Tree.
 The prairies of west Texas are cov- cred with mesquite bush. The name of tree would be more appropriate, as it often attains height of twenty five feet and its trunk diameter of six to ten inches. This push or tree has been said to flourish best in dry weather, but the truth of this alleged characteristic has not been proved by this season of prolonged wet weather he rains seem to have benefited the hardy mesquite equally as much as they have the other vegetation which is found on the prairies. The mes- quite is greatly appreciated by the stoekmen Of west Texas. In times of extreme drought cattle have been known to live for many months on the leaves of the mesquite when the range was bare of grass. The mesquite tree promises to become of considerable commercial importance through it's production of a bean which 80 close ly resembles the coffee berry in flavor and appearance that one cannot be told from another when roasted The bean of the mesquite has long been used as a substitute for coffee by the he4ieans of the Rio GYands Border of Texas and in Mexico and New Mexico. few years ago the possible conner eial value of the mesquite bean was n of n$ wholesale coffee house in St. Louis | flrm sent a representative to
 Texas to make an investigation t the product. Thorough tests were made of the bean, and it was found to . perfect substitute for coffee. It WIS proposed to use it in great quan- tiles for adulterating the cheaper grades Of coffee. With this end in SfeW large roasting establishment was put up in San Antonio to prepare 'Ae bean for market before shipping 't to St. Louis and other points. Thls Aiaht was placed ill operation and many Mexieans were employed at low wages in gathering the bean. Many 'housands of pounds of the beans were roasted and shipped to St. Louis, and was said that the industry was very ptohtab ble. The next season, however, sAe mesquite bean crop was a complete iaiiare, and the roasting plant had to Smalh idle. When another failure of 'as bean crop occurred the second sea son the bushes. was abandoned and .he roasting plant removed from Ban Antonio.
