PEDRO ALVARADO.
Something About MexicO's Most
Picturesque Mining Man.

CSIut
Senior Pedro AIvarado, of Parral,
state of Chihuahua, Mex, is one Of
Mexico's picturesque mining men, and
as the following is told of him by a
gentleman residing in Douglas, Ariz.,
who is well acquainted with him, it
somewhat interesting 1t is printed
in the Douglas (Arizona) Dispatch
A great deal has been written and
published about Pedro Alvarado and
his rich mine, the PalmariIlo, in the
Parral district, chihuahua, Mex. AS
is known, Alvarado was what is known
in Mexico as "gambusino;" that is,
one who ekes out a precarious living
at mining.
A few DAYS ago Dispatch repre-
sentative met gentleman in Douglas
who was formerly engaged in mining
in Parral, and is well acquainted with
Alvarado, From him the reporter
learned some facts about Alvarado
and his mine, that have not hitherto
been published.
Alvarado was working in the Par
raj district before it become famous,
and one day discovered some good
ore. He located six pertenencias, and
soon uncovered a body of rich ore,
which he sold, spending the proceeds
in mescal and gambling. At twelve
feet the ore petered out completely
and he abandoned the mine, going to
Sierra Molada, where he worked
seven years for wages. In the mean
time he quit gambling and drinking,
and saved 5000.
When rich strikes were made in the
Parral district, he returned to his
old mine, and after denouncing two
more pertenecias at either end of the
original mine, he began to sink shaft.
He sunk about thirty feet in barren
ground and had determined to quit
after working another day, but while
at work the man at the bottom o
the shaft gave a cry of delight, ant
held up a piece of ore which on ex
animation was found to be very rich
From that day the mine has con
tinued to increase in value, until AL
varado is probably the richest mar
in Mexico
Alvarado is described as man o
good common sense, whose head ha:
not been turned by sudden wealth.
He is liberal with his old friends
and gives away great sums to charity
He dresses with excessive plain
ness, but has four gorgeously arrayet
guards with him at all times, TIVE
before him and two behind.
He always has on his person abou
800, 600 IN large bills and drafts. |
he sees anything in his walks tha
peases him, he buys it and pays with
out question what ever is asked.

Much Abused "Porphyry."

The term "porphyry' is one APP
piled by miners indiscriminately to
light colored rocks for which they
know no better name, says the Min
ing and Scientific Press. These rocks
are usually of igneous origin, though
not always So The word porphyry
means purple, and was applied to
the purple porphyry of Egypt, rock
from which many monuments and
obelisks we're made. The term now
has a structural significance only
and is applied to rocks in which dis
tinct crystals of mineral occur in
finer grained mass. This ground
mass (or back ground, as it might be
called may be coarse or fine, but the
porphyritic crystals must be rela-
lively iarger. There is quartz-por-
phyry, feldspar-porphyry' horne
blende- porphyry, granite e-porphyry'
etc, the prefix always indicating the
character of the large crystals or
phenocrysts. Dark colored basic
rocks, with porphyritic structure are
callediporpbyrite, as diorite- porphy-
rite, diabase- -porphyrite, etc, etc.

CLEARANCE SALE
 OF PIANOS
THE CABLE COMPANY HAS CUT PRICES ON ITS ENTIRE STOCK OF PIANOS AND ORGANS.

The Cable company. 2c0S First avenue, has inaugurated a clearance sale or secondhand piano and organs, which they
 have taken in exchange as part payment for new instruments. These pianos have
 been put in thorough repair, some of them
 having been in use only short time. The prices on these instruments have been placed very low and large numbers Of them are being sold daily. You had bet
 ter hurry" if you wish to obtain bar
 gain.
 The Cable company has been In business
 In this city something over year, but in that short space of time It has gained
 in popularity until today it sells more pianos and organs than any other house in the state
 There are two reasons for this. The first Is that the Cable company being the largest manufacturers of pianos and or gans in the world. with a paid up capital
 of s2,000,0OO, sells direct from the factory to the people, thus saving to the cus-
 toner the middle man profit
 The second reason Is that whatever the Cable company tells you can be strictly relied upon. MT. J. E. Shelby, the popu-
 lar manager of the Birmingham branch, is one of the best equipped piano men in
 the south, and by his courteous treat
 ment and fair dealings has made many friends in the city and district. He is ably assisted by corps of clever gentle
 men, who always take a delight serving their friends and customers. The cut in prices extends over the entire stock, the new instruments as well as those taken in
 exchange, so if you want to get bargain | give the above firm call. s+-
