lowing very clew which could cast upon the mystery of the old tradi- ton any light of solution, and in
 terviewing scores, if not hundreds
 of old natives whose early lives
 reached back to golden days of the
 Jesuits, he finally determined to
 visit the Santa Ritas and verify, if
 possible. the conclusions he had drawn as to the location of the lost mines. To make a long story short he proved his theory and found the old Tumacacori mine. There were the old workings from which fab ulous wealth had been extracted and sent by 'conductas" to tue , City of Mexico, tn ence to Spain, and above all was the crumbling walls of the old stone fort tradition described as having been built for defence against the Apache when the exigencies of the Spanish Crown withdrew the regular military patrol from the Pacific provinces. Mark had found indeed the lost Tumacacori mines, and bright vi- sions of the wealth they would bring him haunted his nightly slumbers and his daylight musings. But Uncle Sam had not yet broken the dread power of the bloodthirsty Apache. He still roamed the noun tains; and the valleys had not for gotten his hostile presence. For time Mark worked the properties he had now taken up under the provis- ions of American law. In doing so he was daily exposed to all the dangers of sudden descent and cruel murder and mutilation-bu he resolutely faced and overcame them. The journeys to and fro between Tucson and the mines were attendant with terrifying dan gers. Every rock by the wayside, every cactus or catclaw bush by the road might conceal hostile Apache intent upon securing his scalp, and all his journeys outside for tools, powder and provisions were ever attendant with terrible risks. But he took them through long and trying months. Finally he wearied of the struggle, and gave it up for time. Returning to the east he abandoned all effort in the Santa Ritas, but he carried with him a determination to return and again take up the work when the time should be ripe.
 Sixteen years ago the military and strategic genius of General Nell son A. Miles brought to bay the willy Geronimo, and that last great war chief of the Apaches, and his chosen braves, were sent to Florida. Peace again reigned in the noun tains and wales of Arizona.

 mines in the groups owned by the
 Santa Rita Company are all con
 veniently locate with reference to
 their operation from the camp, and
 also to the probable site of the re-
 duction works.
 The Tyndall District in which the
 Lulley Camp is one of the most
 important, extends along the west slope of the Santa Ritas. The ridge IS deeply intented with precipitous canons, separated by narrow spurs from the main ridge. Along the combs of these spurs the lodges are plainly traced, the croppings dis tinctly marked by the rich iron crop ping so dear to the experienced miner. Breaking into this cropping as a general rule, the rock is found rich in metal, petanka and galena predominating, although in some of the lodges the ores are high grade copper bearing, rich in gold and silver, with some lead. In some places the croppings stand above the ground in great combs ten or twelve feet high and sixty or sev- enty feet in lenght, all good pay rock. The veins are true Assures, we'll defined, bearing ores that yield values that can be profitable worked, In each spur several lodges can be distinctly traced, and where developed they are found to pitch toward a common center at such angles as to justify a theory that they unite at no great depth, where development will doubtless show up great and valuable ore bodies. The country rock, which on ex- posed surfaces strongly resembles syenite, is a true pophyry, the feldspathic crystals therein being small, but we'll defined.
 The mines of the Santa Rita Company are six in number, viz; The Stars, Old Fort l umacacori, Apache Chief, Lulley Brothers, Warsaw, and Royal Blue. The first four named follow along the north side of the canon in which the Lullev Camp is situated, in the order named, from west to east, the workings on the Three Stars being at tue point of the foot of the spur below the camp, and the others rising gradually with the walls ot the canon, until upon the Apache Chief and the Lulley Brothers they are 1900 feet higher than the camp. All these properties are full sized 500 feet each.
 Upon the Three Stars a shaft has been sunk to depth of ninety feet, following down ledge two feet thick, solid metal, petanka and gal ena ores, running high in values in lead and silver.
 The next mine in the course is the Old Fort Tumacacori. This

Sad Case of Dowager Empress of Germany
Her Last Days Are Being Spent Alone i'm Tears While She Is Dying of Cancer

CHEERLEsS, alone, detested by
 the subjects over whom she
 once reigned, forsaken by her family-if reports and appearances be true-there is slowly passing away at the great roomy but barren castle at Cronsberg-on-the-Ma Germany, a woman who as an English princess is revered in the land of Edward VII., but who as the dowager empress of Germany is practically forgotten and neglected and left to die alone cancer.
 It is sad ending for life that, though since the days of her mar riage to Frederick the Noble, then crown prince of Germany, has been passed among an unsympathetic peo- pie, has yet been a brilliant one. Through the whole period of her married life she was called upon to fight to maintain her position at the German court. She had to match her strength against the strongest in the German empire, and no less a person age than the great Bismarck was her enemy, cruel and unrelenting in his warfare against the English woman who had dared invade German do- mains and aspire to sit as empress on the German throne.
 Nor was it with his consent that she was ever permitted to secure the title of empress, a title she held but three short months. It was due al-

have in his cabinet Thomas Jefferson, respected and adored for almost cen tury by great political party, but who was one of the most selfish poli- ticians that ever lived in high or low station in this republic. There is noth- ing in the career of Washington, not even excepting the cherry-tree story, which so manifests his enlightened Christianity as the fact that he called Thomas Jefferson into his cabinet and always treated him with kindness and courtesy.
 When Thomas Jefferson became president he was subjected to criticism for every movement that he made; and even his great achievement, the Louis jana purchase, which made possible the expansion of this imperial repub- lie, subjected him to all manner of vio- lent and vile, insidious and open at- tacks upon the floors of both houses of the congress, as we'll as in the pub- lie prints.

pitted against her, but that ''her Fritz might be the emperor. Her love for him was amply proven by her devotion to him through the many months of political intrigue, when, helpless as he was with dis ease that was eating away his life, he had virtually none but his wife to fight the battles his enemies and hers were waging against him.
 Nor did she stop with the fight against his political enemies, but fought the disease that was so rap idly sapping away his life as we'll. She attended him personally for the greater part of the time that he was sick. She studied carefully the med- ical principles involved in his case, that by so doing she might hasten the recovery which she hoped for but which never came. While her hus- band lived she had something to work her ambition, and she triumphed than they triumphed over her in the small battles of court life.
 But with her husband dead, and her son upon the throne of Germany, even her enemies soon seemed to forget her. True, the son broke the power of Bismarck as factor in German politics, and she could, of course, glory in the discontinue of the man who had made life so hard

so happy that it would not listen with any sort of patience to any party dis Agreements or bickerings. Even Jack son, that grim political fighter of after years, wrote to the new president and counseled him to harmony, saying:
 t'Now is the time to exterminate that monster called party spirit and ad- vised him to select his cabinet and other officers without regard to par ty, telling him "the chief magistrate of a great and powerful nation should never indulge in party feelings" ]" There was no antagonism between Monroe and congress during his eight years.

courtesy and attention.
 And the broken-hearted woman , continues to live a miserable and lonely life in the great barren castle that has been set aside for her use. Upon rare occasions her son, the em- peror, pays her a formal visit of an hour two, but she is said not to look forward with pleasure. to these occasions. Of her children her youngest daughter, the princess of tion and visits her twice each week, and attempts to force into her life a ray of sunshine. But while she seemingly enjoys these visits from her youngest and favorite daughter, they fail to have any effect upon her depressed spirits.
 She sits beside a great window in the big bare salon of the castle and gazes out upon the little world of which she is yet the ostensible mis- tress. Her servants find her in tears many times, but she does not like to have them notice the fact. She longs for death, and yet the indomita ble will that placed dying man upon the throne of Germany in the face of the strongest opposition that could be brought against her in the Ger man nation, refuses to give up the struggle for life. She asserts her ir- tention to live as long as she can, but says that when she does die none will be sorry; she least of all.
 But when the aged ex-empress passes away she will be sincerely mourned by at least one sovereign of Europe, King Edward VII, her brother. Empress Frederick was born November 21, 1s4O, and her illus trious brother is but one year younger. In childhood they were playmates and companions, and since those childhood days when the stronger will of the sister practically ruled the brother he has never ceased to admire and respect her. He be- lieves her to be the cleverest woman of royal birth of her time, and has never hesitated to say so. His visit to her, shortly after the death of their illustrious mother, was the brightest incident in her life during recent years, and one which she looks back upon with great pleasure. Dur ing the days the English king spent at the home of his sister they were together the greater part of the time. He wheeled her in her inva- lids chair through the castle grounds and sat with her for hours in the great rooms that have been to her as a prison house.

most entirely to her own strong will and fhexhaustible resources that Prince Frederick was ever crowned emperor of Germany. Bn@arck worked with all the energy of his strong will, and brought to bear all of his wonderful influence to prevent the crowning of Frederick and his English wife. as a punishment upon the prince for daring to marry an English woman, who, he often said, 'shad poisoned the Hohenzollern blood at it's source."
 It is the law in Germany that no prince can become emperor who is inflicted with incurab1e disease, but the fact that he is so afflicted must be solemnly proclaimed after an examination by court physicians. Some months before the death of old Emperor Wilhelm all the world knew that the crown prince was afflicted with a throat trouble from which he would never recover, but the court physicians had never proclaimed that .act, nor could they without first having the necessary eNanina a tion. To secure such a proclamation Bis
 
 but secure such a proclamation the hated English woman would never sit upon the throne of Germany as the consort of German ruler, and at the same time he would punish the crown prince for marrying con Srary to his and the wish of the German people. But the court phy- sicians never issued the proclama- ton. They never made the examina- tion necessary in such a course. With the Iron Chancellor, then just at the height of his prestage, and practically the whole German peo- pie against her, the English princess won the battle for a throne. She did it by simply preventing the court physicians from reaching her hus- bands bedside. A noted English physician, Sir Morrell Mackenzie, att tended him exclusively through the days of his illness previous to the death of his father, and when the old emperor died there was no legal reason to prevent his ascension of the German throne, and he was crowned. For three months he reigned as emperor of Germany, and then ne O1Su duu gave pAdCS GO GAe present emperor.
 But though the Iron Chancellor and the German people may be said to have despised the English princess who, in the past, occupied so prom inent place in the affairs of the Ger man empire for time. her husband loved her. The marriage that in 1855 joined Prince Frederick and Princess Victoria in wedlock, when the royal bride was but IF years of age, could not be said to have been marriage of policy, as so many royal mar riages are. The young people were lovers, and continued as such up to the time of the death of Emperor Frederick. To her he was always ''her Fritz," and there was an unfail- ing love existing between them. It was not that she might become em- press of Germany that she waged so strong battle against the forces
