Discovery of a Lost Mine.

Most marvellous of all the stories
of lost mines found again is that of
the relocating of the enormously rich
gold mine of San Luis d'Aima, in Ven
ezuela, south of the Orinoco river.
The mine has been lost for "a years.
It was worked under the auspices Of
the Capuchin monks of Catalonia, and
was the most productive gold mine
in all Spanish America. The mine
was closed and abandoned when Boil
vars soldiers of the republic drove
the Spaniards and the Capuchins out
of southern Venezuela, in 1917, and
destroyed their missions. The mine
was completely forgotten. 1t has
now been relocated, after years Of
search, by George E. Gage, an ener-
getic young New Yorker, who while
exploring the region came across a
huge image in the wilderness. This
image contained cabalistic signs indi-
eating the exact direction and dis
tance to the lost vein. The mine is
supposed to be even of greater rich
ness than the famous Callao mine,
which produced $4O,000,0O0 in gold in
ten years. The story of how the
mine came to be lost to Spain and
how it has been recovered through
American enterprise and quick intelli-
gence is one of absorbing Interest,"

FINDS TRACE OF OLD RACE.
DR.. Gustav Lebstein, of Berlin, Re.
ports Startling Discoveries In
Sonora, Mexico.

DR.. Gustav Lebstein, of Berlin, con-
nected with the bureau of ethnology Of
Germany, passed through New Or
leans the other day on his way to Ber-
lin after a six months chronological
investigation in Sonora.
DR.. Lebstein would not give the re-
suit of his discoveries in advance of
his report to the German chronological
bureau, but he declared that they
were of startling nature, and indi-
Gated that he had discovered traces Of
the earliest race in America, long ante
dating the Indians. He visited the
mountainous portion of Sonora, be-
lieving it to be the oldest inha bited
portion of America. In an almost in
accessible mountain gorge he found
the remnant of a road, broad and we'll
defined, showing the work of the grad
ers and some evidences of having at
some time been paved. 1t is almost
certain from the clear indications that
the road was built before the gorge
was formed, and the gorge was not a
sudden formation, but was evidently
the product of erosion, that must have
continued through several thousand
years. At the end of this road was q
high hill of debris from rich mines,
the ore being obtained from the noun
tains by means of workings that can
yet be traced.
There were evidences that the peo-
pie that worked the mines from which
the ore in question was taken were
much further advanced in the arts of
metallurgy than the old Spaniards, or,
in fact, than any ancient people Of
whom there is q record.
