The formation is

to great depths. The formation is biotite granite. The pay streaks in the lodges varies from two feet to the full width of the veins, and is very rich in silver, carrying goodly values in gold. The ores are free milling quartz, running in silver as high as 1000 ounces in value, and several dollars in gold, per ton. The two outside veins are about $50 feet apart. The vein between is about sixty feet away from the one most southeasterly in the series. At the south end is a cross vein, running about east and west, known as the "Llano vein" l" upon which a shaft has been sunk to a distance of l34 feet, and which has yielded good ores. The

of antiguo work. The ground
 embraced is at the southernmost point of a range of hills which rises from the center of a broad plain or mesa, running north and south. Running up out from the plain on the south end of the first hill, three lodges cross over that hill, in a northeasterly direction, going down the northeast side thereof, crossing little flat or rincon (corner) where projection of the plain to the eastward nestles among the hills, they run up the hill or ridge beyond, crossing over to the east side of the ridge, one going down the northeast side and disappearing in the flat at the edge of the plain upon that side of the

ridge, the other following along the main ridge, cutting across d narrow cafion. Along these three veins the
 ANTIGUo WORKINGS continue at intervals at a distance of about seven thousand feet, con sisting of numerous tajoS (open cuts. shafts md tunnels). The waste dumps scattered along the three lodges, while very extensive, give very slight idea of the amount of work done in bye gone centuries, for they have doubtless greatly diminished by erosion; nor are the workings themselves re- liable evidence, for in many places they have been evidently filled with sand and dirt by the erosion of the surrounding hills. Each of these lodges or veins is from four to six feet in width, and by the antiguo workings and croppings can be traced the entire 1000 feet. They are

are known as "El Urbabo," Min iaturan and La Carrena." or ("La Tarasca."J They are all strong and well deined, and the last named, which is the third in the series, crossing from northwest to southeast, gives every evidence of being very strong and valuable. The present workings are upon "El Urbabo vein," where a perpen- dicular shaft has been sunk, cut ting the vein at a depth of POO feet. Below that an incline goes down upon the vein l50 feet fur ther. This work was some years ago, under former ownership, and is not now in use From the sbaft d drift is run 400 feet north west on the ledge, and l97 feet in the opposite direction, making a total distance of 597 feet,

TARASCA MINES
ve,v Rich Mines, Near Torres Station on the Sonora Railway, Which are Noted in Tradition and History, and Which Present Evidences of Extensive Operations.

"Ward'S History or Mines III Mexico" from which excerpts have heretofore appeared in THE OASIS. makes quite extended mention of the lost Tarasca mines, winch tra- dition then averred had produced great quantities of gold and silver in the early days of the Spanish occupation of Mexico.
 J. F. Velasco who wrote upon "Old Mines in Sonora in 1S45, says: "The mines of Sonora" have been worked from time immem- orial, as proved by the number of excavations found by the first set tiers after the conquest, of which we have no more authentic inform ation than that derived from tra- dition. On the Cerro Prieto, be- tween the Rancho de la Palma and La Cara Pintada, is an old mine called the "Tarasca," that has not been worked for more than one hundred years, and that was, ac- cording to tradition, exceedingly rich"
 In the extensive and valuable properties of the Tarasca Gold Mining Company, which are situated about ten miles north from Torres station, on the Sonora railway, about sixty miles north from Guaymas, it is believed that the lost Tarasca mines have been again found and reopened. In fact all surroundings go to sub stantiate the belief. First are the extensive antiguo workings, of which full description is given in this article, and the further evid- ences of
 EXTENSIVE ORE REDUCTION
 at Aguaje and Realito, points about six miles away at each of which there is abundance of water for the use of mills or arrastras At each of these places are vast quantities of tailings, covering great areas of ground. It is very evident that numerous arrastras were in operation at both places, and that the ores were transported from the mines in the hills to the westward to those points for reduc- ton. The very tailings are such as would be the result of grinding the ores from these mines. Nearly a quarter of century ago the tail ings were worked over by an enter prising American. That was be. fore the day of the cyanide process, and the result was probably not so profitable as it would now be. That a goodly population must have been employed at those points is evidenced by the
 RUINS OF AN OLD CHURCH
 at Aguaje, of which but a DOT ton of the walls remains standing, and of which no one in the vicinity knows anything. There are close at hand the houses of a ranche, but the inmates thereof know nothing of those who long ago ministered m the now ruined church to a con siderable population in the imme- dlate vicinity.
 At the mines there are equally extensive and interesting evidences

which reaches this north drift at a depth of 195 feet below the surface, being on the ledge in the flat be- low the perpendicular shaft. This incline follows the ledge all the way. and in sinking it good ore was extracted. At the point where this incline shaft reaches the north drift there is winze sinking on the ledge in good ore. Prepara- tions are now making to straighten this incline and winze, move over the hoist, rig a skip. make it the main working shaft, and sink to depth of
 FIVE HUNDRED FEET.
 Northwest of the inclined shaft is an upraise, in the vein, now up thirty feet. In the inclined shaft, IF feet below the surface and seventy eight above the floor of the north drift. is a drift now in thirty feet on the vein, running to con- meet with the upraise described, which will go to the level of this drift, giving when connected good ventilation and blocking out ore. Both drift and upraise are in good ore.
 The south drift follows the ledge 197 feet from the bottom of the perpendicular shaft, in good ore all the way About seventy feet from the shaft is an upraise of thirty feet, connecting with a drift to the main shaft. At a distance of no feet from the main shaft is a winze sixty feet deep, going down on the vein and yielding good ore.
 The work described shows 597 feet of good ore now developed from which assays have been taken running from $10 and SIP to 5000 per ton in gold and silver values. They are now extracting and sack ing shipment of
 ONE IHOJSAND IONo
 of ore, which are guaranteed by the foreman, who is an old and ex- perience miner in Sonora, to yield $40 per ton, or $40,000 for the shipment. The ore will go to Guaymas thence by sailing vessel to San Francisco, or Tacoma, at each place extensive reduction plants, give very cheap charges.
 But soon it is the intention of the company to erect a mill and reduce the ores on the spot, which can be cheaply and economically done, at good profit.
 From the bottom of the perpen- dicular shaft crosscut has been run east 3S4 feet, to cut "La Miniatura" land La Tarasca" vein. At distance of 250 feet the first vein was cut, and drift was run a distance of seventy feet to the southeast. It is a well defined vein, four feet wide, with a good, greasy tale gouge, and the entire width assays thirty-fve ounces, silver per ton, with some gold. Rock like that will
 PAY TO MILL.
 The face of the crosscut is l34 feet eastward from the Miniature vein," and within q very short dis tance it will cut the "Tarasca vein," where there is every reason to believe a strong vein with rich ore will be encountered.

Alaska a Garden.

From the Booklovers Magazine.
 Prof. Trevor Kincaid, of the Uni versity of Washington, an alert wes- tern scientist, has been making a study of the valley and mountain slopes of Aleutian Islands. He first became interested in Alaska at the time of the Hartman expedition. As result of this voyage of scientific discovery he amazed the entomologi- cal world by the bewildering collec- tion of insects he brought out of Alas ka. thousands of them being species that depend for existence on the nee tar of blossoms. It was a revelation not only of the presence of unnum- bered fiower-hunting hymenoptera, coleoptera and lepidoptera in Alaska, but incidentally it called the atten' ton of scientific men to the fact that Alaska. instead of being wilderness of perpetual ice, was a vast, wild gar den. Extending his investigations in subsequent trips 0 the Aleutian chain, Prof Kincaid has made the discovery that in the valleys and slopes of those islands a number of kinds of succu- lent forage grasses grow in luxurious abundance.

Dollar as cabby Knew 1t.

From the Philadelphia Press.
 An old gray-bearded, well-to-do farm CT from up the state on visit to this city, had a queer opinion of the English language before he was here an hour. Arriving at Broad street station, he ac- costed cabman and inquired what it would cost for q trip to League Island and back.
 Two plunks," replied the cabby. 1.-TWO what?'
 "Plunks-bones-case you un- derstand?"
 '.I asked you what it would cost for the trip, and I'm not here to be made fool of,' replied the farmer with some heat.
 'Tat's what I am trying to tell you. Two daddies. See?"
 Excuse me, but I don't seem to catch what you mean"
 Well haven't I tried to tell you five or six times already? Two bucks two cartwhees."
 It was then the up-the-state man seemed to grasp the meaning of what the cabby was trying to tell him. and he said in the meekest of voices: You don't mean two dollars?"
 Yep, that's what I have told you all ready a har dozens times"
 At that the farmer climbed aboard and the cabby mounted the box and drove in the direction named.
