Special Correspondence )

Especial Correspondence)
 Douglas. May 11.-For tricks that are vain and ways that are peculiar. it is about an even break between the Mexican and the Chinaman, and the former occasionally scores a point in the running.
 A tale comes up from the Picacho gold mine that proves the Mexican can work out a get rich quick scheme on his own account. The ore in the Picacho is so rich that mining is only done in the day time, and as the min CTS. most of whom are Mexicans, come off shift they are searched thoroughly to prevent the theft of the ore.
 Several days ago the suspicious of the mine foreman were directed to a Mexican whose bootheels seemed to be considerably higher than was com. patible with easy walking. The Mex. ican was required to take off his foot wear. and an examination revealed that both heels were hollowed out. the bottom being ingeniously screwed or 10 the sole. In the hollow of the heel was found some of the richest ort produced in the mine.
 There is no telling how long the theft of ore by the Mexican has beer going on. He was arrested for tho offense. and a salutary example vii be made of him.
