DRAINING A NINE.
American Enterprise Completing = Work
Planned by Humboldt.

Planned by Humboldt.
An interesting mining operation is
being completed this month In the
Guanjuato district, famous as the rich
est mining territory in Mexico, in IN
watering the Sirena gold mine, which.
after being worked by the M%exicans
since the year 1850, has been flooded
and abandoned ever since the Mexican
war Of independence in 1922. There
are at least nine miles Of workings in
the old mine, and it has taken two
years labor with powerful electric
pumps to emove the water already in
the workings and to fight the incom-
ing flow. 1t was 1000 feet deep when
the work began. Now it Is less thar
400 feet. Just how much Of the work.
ings remain to be uncovered and what
there is in and beyond them no n
knows. housekeeping and chart
making were done in very primitive
fashion by the old Mexican miners.
AS the clearing of the mine has pros
persd curious relics have come to
light. In one place, far below the
water level, the explorers came upon
a stable half full of skeletons Of mules
by the rising flood. Life is cheap in
Mexico, and no one could be found who
remembered ever having heard that
anybody had been missed in the mine.
The Sirena is the first of the old mines
in the district to be unwatered. The
project is carried out by a New York
company. and it indicates the new
channel in which modern mining
methods in the old districts run. The
company counts on making IN imme-
diate profit by going over the old
workings and treating the ore out of
which the Mexican miners with their
mule power and hand labor could ob-
tain no paying results. Electricity Is
being used where mule power failed,
and when the water is all out OF the
mine the workings will be driven
deeper than the Mexicans could ever
have dreamed of operating them. The
same method is now being undertaken
man syndicate has acquired the IA
nous Valenciana mine in the same
vein, out of which many millions have
been taken by the Mexicans. Another
mine in the Veta Madre vein, which
runs through the district, yielded the
king of Spain 81, 900, COO in royalties.
The unwatering of the mines has
been discussed since the time Of Hum
boldt, who had a project for doing 1t by
driving a tunnel twelve miles long
into the vein, but 1t is only now that
American enterprise has given a start
to the work.

A shepherd once, to prove the quick
ness Of his dog, which was lying before
the fire in the house where we were
talking. said to me in the middle Of
q sentence concerning something else.
I'm thinking, sir. the COW is in the
potatoes" Though he purposely laid
no stress on these words. and said
them in a quiet, u~nconcerned tone Of
voice, the dog, who appeared to be
asleep, Immediately jumped up, and.
leaping through the open window,
scrambled up to the turf roof Of the
house, from which he could see the po-
tato field. He then, not seeing the
COW there, ran and looked into the barn
where she was, and, finding that all
was right, came back to the house.
After q short time the shepherd said
the same words again, and the dog
repeated his lookout; but on the false
alarm being a third time given the
dog got up, and. wagging his tall.
looked his master In the face with 30

TRACK DISCOVERED IN
TIME.
Injunction Against Strikers-They Are
Restrained from MoIesting Those
Who Wish to Work or Interfering
With Operation Of the Mines.

Colorado Springs. Jan. 23.-The
strike in the Colorado Springs coal
mining district assumed a serious as
pect today.
An obstruction was discovered on the
track of the Denver and Rio Grande
railroad near the mines, which are To-
1t was in the shape of a large log. fast
ened to the ties. Trains passed the To-
cality at a speed of t%hirty-ive miles an
hour. A wreck would have been the
inevitable result but for the timely dis
covery of the obstruction by a track
walker before daylight this morning.
The officials of the road in this city
were notified and a force of men were
sent to patrol the scene night and day
during the progress of the strike. The
strikers deny that any of their number
placed the log on the track.
Sheriff GODDARD went to the mines
later in the day and served an %injunc-
ton on as many of the miners and as
many of the strikers as he could locate,
restraining them from molesting
those who wished to work or in any
way interfering with the operations of
the mines.
The strikers observed the injunction
and there was no trouble.
Prepared for Emergency.
Attorney Perkins, who represents
the Pixies Peak company, says the ap-
p~lication for an injunction was more in
anticipation. 1t was desired to prevent
the strikers from carrying into effect
threats which they are reported to
have made.
The company wants to be prepared
for any emergency hat may arise in
their efforts to keep the mine in opera
ton
James Morrison, superintendent of
the mine, has made an affidavit stating
that he was afraid to go to work yester-
day owing to many threats made to
him. He says that when he awokc,
early yesterday morning, he discover
ed that his buggy had been taken from
the barn on the mine property and was
standing on the Denver and Rio Grandc
railroad track. fully $50 feet from the
point where it had been left the night
before and that the buggy could not

A GROWING FAMILY.
Uncle Sans Helpful Little Books Arc
Printed Free.

Uncle Sam has a large, growing
family to look after-S0, 600 900 or 3d.
OOO, 900 people of all colors spread over
half the world-and some of the ways
he has of looking after its best inter
ests are most practical and helpful.
For one thing he firmly believes in
study INT investigation, for he keeps
some dozen Of our calculating friends,
the scientists, at work for him all the
ti~me-botanists, biologists, statisti-
clans, weather experts, chemists. po-
mologists, entomologists, anthrOpolo-
gists and others with exceedingly hard
names. who are continually busy with
the hard problems that arise every
year in his family economy. When one
Of them succeeds in solving a knOtty
question or finds a new way in which
the great household can be improved
he writes a little book about it and
Uncle Sam prints it for free distribu-
ton. These books are issued by the
agricultural department and are called
farmers bulletins" but they really
cover many subjects that are OF inter
est to people who do not live on farms.
Breadmaking, ways of reducing
swarms of house flies, new methods Of
cooking, insects hat attack shade trees
these are matters OF interest to
thousands of folk who live in cities,
and Uncle Sam knows it and sends
them free to all who apply. One of the
most recent of the booklets gives a
list Of weeds that are good for food
weeds that very few people would ever
think of eating. Charlock is one Of
them, a weed of the mustard variety
that grows in wheatfields and is very
troublesome until pulled up, put in the
pot and boiled. Then it becomes sa-
worry and nutritious. Black mustard, a
sort OF wheatfield brother to charlock,
Is another common weed hat cooks
up into delicious greens. Pigweed.
pokeweed, dock, %purslane, marsh mari
gold, kale, chicory and a weed called
orach, hailing from the steppes Of
Asia, are some Of the field posts which
Uncle Sans botanist has put upon the
list of new foods. The little book con-
tains illustrations of these candidates
for table honors, tells how to identify
them from poisonous varieties and
urges everybody to give them a trial.

ignorant People, Who Who Would BE- In
Fashion. Deceived. .
The passion for collecting antiques
10 widespread, and the number Of old
curiosity shops increase rapidly. The
people who buy in order to be in the
fashion are the best customers; that
ID, they are the most ignorant, and
therefore the most readily deceived. In
some of the shops it would be difficult
to find a single article which is what
1t purports to be. The ingenuity OF
the forger is unlimited. Furniture,
prints. china, pictures, plate, armor,
ivory, bronze, tapestry-all are success
fully initiated. Many limitations OF
antiques are clumsy enough, but some
deceive even the initiated. The ex-
perts Of national museums have more
than once been imposed upon. The
British museum bought a Palissy plate
for two hundred and fifty dollars.
Whilst an attendant was handling 1t,
one OF the seals attached to its back
attesting its genuineness-became de-
tached, disclosing the mark Of a Isis
and Osiris. bought by the same insti-
tuition for Ave thousand dollars, have
been discovered to be composed OF
modern clay. The speciality Of one
forger is old leather jacks at two dol
lars and a half each; Of another horn
books at a dollar and a quarter. Tho
a rule that they include about a thou
sand per cen Of profit. A writer in
Chambers Journal not long since In
spected a specimen Of a mummy
servant"-an efigy, in a plastic ma
terial, such as the Egyptians buried
with their dead. Close examination
proved 1t to be made OF putty. 1t was
a very clever forgery. Count Michael
T~yskieweiz. a noted collector and judge
OF antiquities, gives some interesting
details Of the forgeries that have been
attempted from the earliest times. No
metal lent itself SO early to this work
Is gold. Etruscan jewelry has been
largely manufactured In Italy, but
Syria has carried on the most extern
sive forgery Of gold works of art. For
geries in silver have been less sue
cessful. The count tells an amusing
story Of a great silver cup In Rome
that purported to have come from
some secret excavation in Sicily. THIS
ancient" cup was ornamented with a
circular bas-relief representing. Of all
things, the frieze of the Parthenon. In
the height Of his innocence. the forger
had given the frieze In Its present
ruined condition. The cup obtained
an immediate success-shouts of
laughter.-Youths' Companion.
