 across the canon at that point. The structure was a very substan- tial stone building, and appears to have been something of fortress, the crumbling walls showing port holes for use in firing at an out side enemy, should there be any necessity. In those days Apaches were very troublesome, and it was necessary to be fortified against possible attack.
 The remains of two covered ways of masonry lead up the side of the canon, and it is supposed they were built as d way for escape should an attacking band of In dians prove too strong to with stand.
 The engine, which was once splendid l0OH. P. machine, ap- parently of English or German make, is nearly all of the machin. cry that is left. The old worn stamp dies are in place, and beside them, where the frames had fallen into pieces, are the stamps and cams. all overgrown with brush and brambles. The routed timber that supported the battery is great one 36x36 inches and about twenty feet in length. It is Oregon pine, and is reputed to have been hauled from Guaymas to Soyopa by teams, floated down the river to Secopaco, d distance of six leagues, when the water was at a high stage, and then hauled up to the present location upon sledges. The heavy machinery was transported from Guaymas in the same way by wagon to Soyopa, thence fioated down the river upon flat boats specially constructed, and run when the river was up, and sledged up from Jecopaco, distance of two leagues. The boilers are said to have been rolled the entire dis tance from Jecopaco by men with handspikes. 4 very old man, an Italian, named Louis, who was there at the time, is authority for the statement
 Even under conditions so un- favorable as those described the Prieta mine is reputtd d to have paid handsomely when worked. It is by no means worked out, and it will one day be operated again, to great profit.
 But a little distance above the ruins of the Prieta mill is the Chi cago camp, where the Nina Grande Company has several years past operated the old Nina Grande, an antjgua mine with a great record, and which under the present ownership, with a small four stamp mill, produces gold very satisfac- torily.
 The mine Is away up on the mountain on the north side of the cafion, and the mill and we'll ap- pointed camp is in the bottom of the cafion.
 MT. Parsons, the general man. ager of the company, and the sup erintendent, Mr. $ Ben Smith (with whom the writer visited at the Ramona mine at Gabilan m June last) had both gone to Her mosillo. The foreman, Fred Car others, had gone up to the mine. and the only member of the staff at the camp when we passed was Mir. Jesus Moreno, the store man.

SIGN OF The BELL.
1t Is a Common and Very Popular One
In Old England.


The English are music loving
nation, and they love 10 hear music
even when going about their daily oc-
cupations, and so it is that the spires
and towers of England's mighty ca
thedrals are hung full Of glorious
bells. So fond Of bell ringing is
"merrie England" that Handel once
said the bell is her national instru-
ment. 1t is not strange therefore
that we find this instrument fire.
quently adopted as a public sign.
From early in the seventeenth CEN
tury bell inns were numerous in
London. In Knightrider street
there was an old inn the walls of
which were prefaced with a giant
bell carved in bold relief. The key
stone had the initials "M. II. A."
and the date 1865. This fine speci-
men is now in Guildhall.
But little step away, in Carter
lane, there was another bell inn,
which has the proud distinction of
being the hostelry from which Rich
ard Quyney wrote in 1898 to his
'Ioving good friend and countrey-
man. Mr.. William Shakespeare" the
only letter addressed to the Bard Of
Avon now known to exiss. The let

Deadly Coloring Matter.

DR.. Frank Corbett, baci sriologist Of
the Minneapolis board of health, has
been feeding rabbits, guinea pigs, and
cats with coloring matter much used
il food, almost alweys With fatal re-.
suits to the subjects. Rabbits appear
ed unaffected by butter color, and he
was about to try large dose on him
self, when he bethought him of pet
cat. The dose was given to pussy,
who did not survive. He then fed
varying doses to oats, and ell died.
His conclusions are thss butter color
is capable Of producing severe distur-
Dances of the nervous system, ending
even in death. While e single dose
may not be harmful, its continued use
is likely to produce diseases of kid
neys, bladder and even lungs. Dairy
Commissioner Mcconnell, OF Mime
Gotta, believes that these experiments
should prove oonclusively that the
use of butter color should be stopped,
and after further experiments his de-
partment will begin o crusade to pre-
vent its use in butter made in the
Statehood Housekeeping.

a Suffering Story.

The poet Lamartine, who declined
to serve under Louis Philippe, was
at one time intensely popular with
the Parisians, and in topical plays
actors often "got themselves up" to
resemble him. One evening when
some comedian did this a spectator
in the balcony seats rose to vent his
enthusiasm. Unluckily he had an
impediment in his speech. tVive
la"- he began, but was unable to
get further. F'Vive la"- he tried
again, with a like result. ssVive la
reformep now suggested a compass
sionate bourgeois in the stalls. 'No,
mop replied the stammerer. tsVive
la-la"- ola republiquep called
an appreciative pitite. 'No, now
the other repeated desperately.
<'Vive la--la"- ola revolution! |"
now thundered a Montagnard among
<'the gods" 'fNo, no, mol" shouted
the balcony man, who had become as
red as a turkeycock, and then, max
ing supreme effort, he managed to
articulate, ssVive Lamartine!" where
upon the whole house guffawed.

Train Derailnlents.

Mr.. Gehricke, German railroad
official, has patented apreventive ap-
pliance against the derailment of rail
road trains. A rail is adjusted to the
truck of the car parallel with the axle.
30 that it is in position across, and
about an inch above, the rails.
Should dersilment of the wheels
take place these cross rails will lie
upon the rails Of the track without
letting the wheels touch the ground.
The cars will then drag along upon
the GROSS rails and slowly stop the
whole train. The GROSS rails are aleo
supplied with projections underneath
for the purpose Of preventing the car
from leaving the track.
Tho advantages expected are that q
derailed car will not be suddenly stop
ped, will not fall with undiminished ID
force upon the rails of the track OF
upon the ties, and will not be dragged
with the wheels upon the latter, but
will be stopped slowly, the cross rails
acting as brakes. -Uuited States

THEY TOOK TURNS.
There Waa Reason For the Pupils Not
Attending Together.

AStonolh9 iogeSheT.
In her Colonial Memories" Lady
Broome gives q vivid picture of New
Zealand about the beginning of the
last quarter Of the nineteenth CEN
tury. That was before the building
of schools and the systematizing Of
education, in the days when few of
the settlers knew even how to read.
TO remedy this lack Lady Broome
started school-that is, she was at
Aome every evening at 8 o'clock to
teach any of the planters who could
manage to reach her house over the
trackless hills and swamps. Her Pr.
pils-only four or five at time
were big and desperately shy. One
gigantic Yorkshireman would only
read or attempt to read with his
broad back turned to her, and others
almost wept over their difficulties.
But the following story must be told
in her own words:
Some of the incidental difficulties
were very absurd. Two men lived in
a hut up q lonely and distant river
gorge who were among the earliest
pupils, and they also came regularly
on Sunday to the little afternoon
service. But they never came to-
gether, and their brand new suit Of
shepherds plaid had always a
strange effect. First they tried my
gravity by invariably stepping up to
me with their prayer books to ind
their places for them and saying
loudly each time, s"Thank you kind
ly, num-" I dared not cay word
for fear. Of frightening them away.
But one day I ventured to ask why
they could not come together, either
to the lessons or the service, and
was informed that the clothes were
the difficulty.
tfYou see, it's this way, mum
We've only got one suit, and we got
it between size on purpose. Joe,
he's too tall, and I'm too short, 80 !
turns it up, and Joe he wears leg
gins and such like, and 80 we makes
it do till after shearin'."
