an intimate friend OF General Payne.
General Payne made quite name
for himself as skillful handler Of
these touchy brethren-Virginia noun

easy method Of gentling them along
and getting what he wanted out Of

to the point Of explosion and upset the

fGund some ancient weapons, ket-
ties and tools. From the nature
OF the tools Mr.. Manuel and part
ners conclude that the owners were
OF Mexican origin. The dump sur
rounding the shaft plainly showed
age, and trees, which the d scover-
ers declared to be at least eighteen
to twenty years old, were glowing
out OF the same. Thus it was
demonstrated that this section had
been visited many years before mr..
Manuel and his companions, the
forerunners of civilization, appear
ed on the scene.
1t is supposed that the Mexicans
while working at the diggings, were
surprised by the Indians, who then
made the Hills their home and for
years jealous y guarded their pos
sessions, and were killed.
Experts on steel who have ex-
amlned this old gun insist that the
steel would not have been decom-
posed in less than thirty-hve years;
which would bear out the claim
that the gun was the property
some one who was in this section
years before the pioneers of today
arrived in the Hills.
The old gun no doubt has a his
tory, and will be greatly priced as
a relic Of the bY-gone uncivilized
past.

ripened Many of his year old trees
are as large as ordinary two year
