GOLD MINES IN THE ANDES.
wonderful Deposits Ot Ore Found In
she Mountains OF Bolivia
and PERU.

Sir Martin Conway. who has recent
ly returned 20 London from carrying
out extensive explorations in south
America. gives some most Interesting
particulars of the wonderful gold de-
posits OF the Andes. reports an English
paper
Sir Martin said that along he east
ern slope Of the Andes. in Peru and bo-
livia. run many rivers rich ia gold. ln
the time OF the Incas and during the
early DAYS OF the Spanish settlement
gold was washed from the river sands
first bv the natives and afterward by
the Spaninrds. The work was. how
ever. exceedingly arduous owing 20
the inaccessibility of the locality and
the consequent difficulties of trans
porting food and other nsccssaries 10
the Sceee 90 operations.
Various attempts, continued Sir
Martin. had since been made to worN
the deposits. but while all the COM
panies formed for the purpose found
gold. they nearly all failed to work
a. profit. In recent years. however,
two or three companies. which had
taken pp the problem skillfUlly, were
successful.
The explorer further stated that iu
. the Peruvian province of Sandia EGO
gold discoveries of Importance have
been made The neici, o. oriUsprovincc
OF Carahaya IS equally rich. On the
