A STORY TO THE IS l. E T A s
tHenry Hall, in Pittsburg Times)

(Henry ftall, III TAeeSOuis
 This is a land of violent contrasts. The new and the old-not the old m the sense understood in the east put as aplied to conditions and a sort ol civilization ancient and hoary when the Spanish adventurers first saw them nearly four centuries aeo-are found here side by side. It is only dozen miles by rail from Albuquerque to Isle.a, but the journey takes one from the America we know to that which Coronado saw. From the busy, fourishing. modern city. equipped with everything almost that our age has made possible fIr mans progress, comfort and convenience, the visitor goes right into the Indian pueblo, in- habited by a primitive people, upon whom our civilization has made but little impress.
 Isleta is a pueblo with a population of 1,050. It is situated on sort or sandy plain, blending as it hears the Rio Grande into fields and orchards, made fertile and fruitful by irrigation The houses are all square, 1at-roofed "dobes," built anywhere and every where, without streets, but centering in a way about the little wind-swept square, on one side of which stands the old church of San Augustin, claimed to be 300 years old, and cer- tainly looking every minute of it's age. This temple is as unpretentious look ing and devoid of architectural effect as are the dwellings around 1t. It is oblong and fat-roofed, its walls strengtened by rude buttresses that look like dried mud piles, and its greater height and the two squat wood en towers lat it's front are it's only really distinguishing marks.
 A Deserted Village.
 Whatever may be its appearance at other times-at the annual fiesta" or when the native dances are being held, for instance-Isleta certainly looked "the deserted village" on the day of our visit Tn wandering among the narrow. crooked alleys which separate the buildings. some ending against a blank wall. and necessitating re- tracing of steps, scarcely a soul was to be seen. Doors and windows. if win dows they could be called, were all closed. If child curious to see the stranger. peered out, he was speedily called within by his mother. especially so If camera was pointed in his di- rection. The square. lying bare and white in the glare of the monday sun. was little solitude, and not door in the houses on its three sides was un- barred.

being be seen. There were women. their heads and faces shrouded in red blankets. or black, veil-like coverings, surveying with steady gaze the plains. swept by sandstorms, the green-bor- dered, rapidly-fiowing river, and the distant mountains. Like watchers on the towers of Zion, they stood there, silent and alone. What caused these solitary sentinels to take their lonely posts? No danger threatened, no foe was near Gazing at them, one won dered whether or not they were there because of some inherent instinct. born of many generations living in constant danger, when, the men toiling in the distant fields, the women from the housetops watched for the coming or savage foes, scattering blood and rapine in their paths.
 Beside the church, and forming one side of a square of adobe buildings, vines and flowers, the doves cooing softly in the arbors. A young Mex ican admitted us to the church. its rafters of untrimmed logs bearing the burden of a roof made of brush GOV cred with earth, the floor worn blanks that clattered unler foot. A few rude benches were placed in one corner, but through the body of the church there were no seats, and the worshipers must kneel cn the floor when at their devotions On the walls hung a few paintings, ia led, worn and tattered, so old that the features of the saintly personages whom they represented could scarcely be distinguished. Pious gifts they doubtless were, sent from old Spain centuries ago, painted, per haps, by artists famous in their day, their names yet living in the memory of man, although these products of their genius have faded into forgetful- ness on the walls of an Indian church The chancel, but a niche in the rear had more modern adornments, and yet was poor and meager compared with the churches of the east. The Virgin, St. Augustine and Our Lady of Guade- loupe-the patron saint of the Mexi- cans-were there in the form of stat ues, adorned by humble votive offer ings of ribbons, strings of glass beads and artificial flowers.
 Houses Are Unchanged.
 This pueblo is said to have been here when Coronado, in 1540, came through this section on his march of conquest. Many of the original houses yet re- main, as unchanged as are the people who dwell in them. The Pueblos are an industrious folk, tilling their irrl- gated fields of wheat, corn and alfalfa along the river bottom, tending their orchards, and herding their flocks and herds. of which they have about Is. coo sheep and POO head of cattle, with quite a number of horses or ponies. The men work at different avocations, but most of them are shepherds for the sheepmen in the surrounding country. At present probably 200 men from Isleta are herding sheep on the ranges.

towns whose ruins are found in many places. Evidently their progenitors had ceased to be nomads long before the white man came here. They cul- tivated the lands, used rude but eff fective methods of irrigation, built towns, were potters and weavers, and had a civilization unknown to the h. dians north and east of them. And much of that which their forefathers had attained, their descendants pre- serve unchanged to this day.

PIMA COUNTY MINES.
Douglas Gray of the Fl Paso Shelter Discusses His Recent Visit to Mines in the Vicinity of Tucson.

Douglas Gray. ore purchasing agen! for the Fl Paso smelter. returned to Tucson yesterday from a visit to number of the neighboring mines and had many interesting things to tell the public. Mir Gray said:
 'I have examined the properties or the Tip Top Mining company, of which Dr. NJ. N. Graves is a manager, and l found that a very fine showing was being made and that the mines were being very nicely opened up. A big tunnel is being driven to tap the large ore shoot some 150 feet below the surface. A considerable ore showing is found at very shallow depth from the surface. A considerable force of men is being worked and these mines bear every indication of possessing ] yer good quality of first rate smelling ore.
 q have also examined the mines running under the names of the New Cuprite, owned by Fish & Ezekiel, of Tucson. Those properties formerly shipped some TOO or 800 tons of ore. l contracted with the proprietors for 300 tons of ore to be shipped to the Fl Paso shelter within a sho time, and for 25 tons that are to be shipped at once. The ore from the New Gu prite runs from 10 to 15 pc cent cop per. and about ounces of silver and s2 worth of gold to the ton These mines are being opened up by d yer tical shaft 160 feet deep. Several lev els have been established. two of them being at 60 and no feet deep, respect ively. Approximately, 240O tons of ore have been blocked out. I under stand that the management is contem- plating fixing the hoist, retimbering the shaft and starting active work and shipments to the smelter within the immediate future. One carload of ore has already been assorted.
 The Green mountain property, ad- joining that of the New Cuprite, be- longing to Mann, Schiey & Co.,, of Vail's station, was the next one visited by me. A carload of sacke ore was recently brought to Tucson from these mines and I understand that that ore yielded very good results. Out of the 5s,000 pounds of ore the average yield was found to be about 10 per cent copper, 10 ounces of silver and s2 worth of gold to the ton I understand that the ore was purchased on that basis in Tucson. The man agement will ship a carload of ore to Fl Paso within the near future These mines are being worked in a conservative manner and the pros- poets for the future are exceedingly good.
 I have also inspected the proper ties of the Virginia Belle company and of the Blue Grass Copper com pany in the Santa Rita mountains. Both mines are being very systematic ally opened up. James H. Bonnet is acting as the manager of both com panies. He is having sunk a number of vertical shafts with a view of go- ing down some 250 feet and crosscut- ting the contact where large bodies of ore are supposed to exist. No ore is being shipped now, and I under stand that it is Tot contemplated that any ore will be shipped for at least two years. predict that MT. Ben nett's companies will have a very sue cessful future. Star

Bis6EE MERCANTILE co.

This establishment, devoted to the sale of general merchandise is one of the most complete and progressive in
 Bsbee or the vicinity thereof Located on the main road and conveniently situated it occupies a field of it's own. The store room is large and spacious. The shelves are laden ith the best lines of groceries, provisions and deli cacies afforded by the best stores in
 the country. These comprise ey- erything that the table and the homes
 demand, and are sold at the very low est cash prices. The Bisbee Mercan- tile company also deal largely in hay. grains and feed of all kinds, and make specially of these products. They also deal in wood to a large extent. NIT. Overlook, the manager, has cer- tainly provided lavishly for every want that first class establishment can be expected to supply and there Is no hesitation in recommending the Bisbee Mercantile company to the public for high class articles, the greatest variety, and the lowest prices.
 Passing on down the road a short distance the traveller comes to the pretty, cool looking, and refreshing sight of spacious trees which surround the Beer garden, conducted by one of the oldest residenters in the camp of Bisbee. The impression seems to have prevailed to some extent that the Beer garden was conducted unon lines drawn rather loosely. How this idea could have gained any credence is hard to understand, for no such spo, exist anywhere near Bisbee as the re

DOWN THE CANYON

There can scarcely be a doubt exist ing as to the great future that is in
 store for Bisbee. The natural but steady growth of the place, has, with her wonderful mineral resources put her in the list of cities that are sure to show healthy increase in opula- tion, with all the attendant results
 which accrue to spot where nature has deposited riches to which there appears to be no limit, and the supply inexhaustible. Unfortunately, the limited space between her mountains have left scant room for the conduct of bueiness and the building of the homes for those who come here to en- joy the prosperity that has never for an instant received a check or set back. Proceeding further down the canyon the field opens to greater areas and most favorable opportuni- ties present themselves for resident CTS and for business purposes to sup ply those who occupy the homes.

Indian Babies.

Babies cry very little in India-they
obey spiritual law as a flower. The
lotus bud, lying on stone bench in
dirty room, sucks its toe and seems
dreaming of the pranks of baby Krish-
ma, and solving problems of the uni
verse. AS it grows older it is very timid
and shy in the presence of its elders.
1t feels the religious awe around it
and does not break out into boisterous
sport when all seems at prayer. But
there is much love in India and these
humble households seem very happy.
They are all-in-all to each other and
seek nothing outside either in society
or amusement. Beautiful character
comes from obedience to law and not
from lawlessness. In India children
are the browning gift of life. 1t is .
horror to be childless.-Edmund Rus
sell, in Everybody's Magazine.

A scientific investigation of eXtraoi
linary interest is about to be I'M
dertaken in the Philippines, under the
direction of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton. Ethnologists aver that the vari-
Gus tribes in those islands represent
q mixture of the blood of all the races
and varieties of mankind. The white,
the black and the brown have each
contributed a share. In the combina-
lion of bloods are found the Negrito,
the Papuan and the Artisan; the Malay
and the Polynesian; the Chinese, the
japanese and the Cambodian; the
Hamite, the Semitic and the Aryan;
the Caucasian, and even, in slight de-
gree, the American Indian. The pro-
posed research into the origin and de-
velopment of this blending of races
involves study of habits, relics, pre-
historic remains, tribal legends and
occupations.-Youth's Companion.
