And in all that distance, which had taken five weeks of time, l had slept nearly every night under the roof of friend. and had taken but few meals which were not at the tables of friends.

 Near Tecoripa are number of ''an- tigno" mines, successfully worked in the past, which are said to offer most excellent inducements for invest ment.
 IL was about 2:30 in the afternoon when l got away from Tecoripa. About league out overlook young man riding to San Jose de Pima, who said he would be pleased to accom- pany me. I told him all right-if he could keep up, as l was riding to get to Prietas the afternoon Of the fol- lowing day. He said he could do it and would. At the end of about a league we came upon ranch, and he thought we should stop there, as he did also at the next ranch and the next. But kept him reeling off the leagues until night spread her quilt of stars, and 1 then laid down under 1t and slept soundly.
 At the place where we camped there was pack train returning frem Tor res, where they had been with load Of ore, and they told me 1 was just half way between La Barrancs and La Colorado. had brought some corn, and had sufficient for both, and the young man found corral and some hay and took care of our animals, and then, by the campfire he made me a cup of good coffee, which tasted delicious. Before turning in for the night I told him 1 should go early in the morning, and he said he would surely go with me. About two o'clock l got up and fed the animals what corn was left, and slept couple of hours more. Then 1 arose, and the young man also. He made another cup of coffee, and 1 reinforced, from my saddle bags, his stock of tortillas with can of deviled ham and a can of sardines. The combination was fine and we reished it.

bases on balls, an error and two hits

suit.
