WAYSlDE NOTES.
From page 1.

.f availed ourselves. It was treat to walk down, among the lofty plantains, towering fifteen to twen- ty feet above our heads, the broad i, bright green leaves casting dense shade, that completely excluded the sunlight, and in the orchard the shade was quite as deep. There we were shown orange trees that are more than q century in age. And as we stood upon the terraces where they grow. and looked down their leafy orcades, getting glimpses through the openings at the ends of the beautiful cafion below, we exclaimed.
 What place for a picnicl"
 Don Manuel informed us that the hstertd dates back to the days of the Spanish occupation, 200 years ago or whereabouts.
 The plantain arc cut down when they have once borne fruit and from the roots new stalks shoot up, to bear fruit in their turn, and be cut down.
 They require but little irrigation, but need a moist soil, and grow only in the narrow strip in the bottom of the caTion. which is kept constantly moist by the percolat- ing waters from a fine spring above the house, which supplies also all the water necessary for the orange trees and other citrus fruits grow ing in the orchard.
 It was noon when we left the hucyta. and continued our climb up the side of the mountain, leaving Prieta caflon, the hltertd being near it's head. Some distance above my companion called my attention to d great ledge more than fifty feet in width, which Is gold bearing, but whether in paying quantities has not vet been determined. At one place it had been sampled distance of 400 feet, and the aver age sample taken had yielded as- says of $3.50 gold The property has been denounced by Mr. Cleaver my companion-and MT. Frank Wiener, of San Javier. It is named the Palma Gra4lde.
 About mile farther MT. Cleaver, having piloted me to point be- yond where there was possibility of going far astray upon wrong road, left me and started to return home; and the rest of the day's journey was made alone An as cending trail was followed fully an hour after 1 had separated from Mir. Cleaver, and then it crossed 1 the divide of the San Antonio mountains and plunged down into q deep caIion on the west slope. It was surely a magnificent spectacle i to look off down the cafion. across the intervening plain to Cobache i mountain, in the distance.
 Cleaver had described to me trail leading to the left, which I was to take, and which l was apt l to miss. My recollection was that the junction with the main trail was down in the bottom of the cafion, although I was not sure. ] About half way down I discovered | a trail to the left, which l passed a few feet before noticing it. And [ then l was in quandary. Here was a half concealed trail to the left, while away down below, rising out of the canon, mile or more away. I could see another trail

 short distanee Again becoming I dubiou. ] returned fo tie left hand trail, and ta0k it once more At the end of about half mile it brought me out again upon the west slope of the mountains, but the magnificent panorama spread before the enchanted eye was worth golng far astray to see. Below, stretching miles and miles away was a billowy mass of green hills, b yond which there was great sweep of the yellow Yaqui. Across that, rising in lofty escarpment was the main range of the Sierra Madre, stretching leagues and leagues away, up and down the river. The view would be an in- spiration for an artist, and beneath the brush of Church or Hill, it would be fitting theme for an other Heart of the Andes" or an- other, In the Rocky Mountains" Rapt with admiration aLd wonder l kept along on the trail, drinking in the magnificent scene until at the end of about mile the trail again turned across the divide. I had now gone so far astray that l was satisfied that 1t would be time lost to return to the other trail, so l kept along, well satisfied from the evidences of travel that l was upon road that would lead somewhere. Plunging down a deep caiion, across another ridge, and down into yet deeper canon, around a domelike mountain, and still down through cahon, | found the double peak of Los Bron- ces towering above me to the west ward. Then the trail raised out ot the canon, to the right, over lofty ridge, around and opposite the north end of the peak, and down into the old camp at Los Bronces, which l recognized immediately. | had come into the place from the other side by circuituous route, and in gap in the ridge to the north I recognized the route should have taken. But l had en- joyed the views I would otherwise have missed, and had lost only an hour. From Los Bronces over to San Jayler, my destination for the the day, was but a short distance and it was quickly covered.
 The road led to the Santa Rosa camp of the Gold Coin Mining Co., where l was cordially welcomed by Mir. Frank Wiener, the manager, and made at hone.
 Unloading tho baggage l rode on into San Javier to pay a few calls, finding there my friend Mir. 1 Aparicio Porchas, his brother Mir. Manuel i'orchas, Mir. George w. man, president of the Wvman Company, his son Mir. c. Wyman, and the estimable wife of { the younger gentleman. young lady recently out from Cleveland, { Ohio, and Mir. E. M. Greenlee.
 Since my last visit at San Javier, now nearly two years ogo, the Wyman Mining Company have erected fine concentrating mill, to treat the ores from the Animas mine, property they operate. Both mill and mine are upon the { side of the canon. overlooking the town of San Javier. The smelter at Toledo purchases their concen- Irates, but while that is closed the mill and mine at San ,Tayier are {
