SECRETS OF MEXICAN INDIANS.
They Carefully Conceal Finds of Min
erals That They Make.

Prom the Mexican Herald.
Some two weeks ago a Mexican of the
buscon class offered to sell me a consider
Hhle quantity of placer gold. which he
claimed he had found within 100 kiloTpe-
tiers Of Tep!sco. but he refused to tell where
he had got it, said T. g. Gibson of TepIsco,
Sonora. Among this gold was one nugget
as large an ordinary sized marble. A
friend of mine bought this gold for $500 and
q day or two later sold ii for SjGJ.
1T is no uncommon thing to find the bus
Genes of that part of the country with gold
for sale. This nugget'-here he exhibited
piece of smoothly worn wash gold of irreg-
ular shape, and about half an inch long by
a little over a quarter of an inch wide, with
a piece of white quartz running crosswise
through it bought from 5uscon some
three years ago in Tepisco. He had sew
eral other pieces of fine gold ore. but as L
was not interested in mines, ] bought this
simply for the purpose of making a pin
out of II.
About eight months ago a buscon
brought into TepiSco a mule load of silver
ore. which he sold for $3.50 10 one of the
local ore buyers. All efforts to induce him
TO reveal the place where he obtained the
ore proved to no avail When he found ne

Clay as a Medicine.
From the Literary Digest.


Pulverzed clay. is used with success in
the treatment of diseases of the intestines
by DIR. Stumpf of Wurtzburg, Germany,
who has lately employed 1t even in ep-
demic attacks of Asiatic cholera. Accord
ing to the author. the clay acts mechanic
ally, enveloping the microbes and prsvent-
ing their multiplication as we'll as 1e de-
velopment of toxins. Says the National
Druggist, quoting La Semaine Medicale
(Paris) as its authority:
1.-The treatment consisted in administer
ing to the adult patient fasting Cths Is alb
solutely essential from 10 to 100 grams of
clay finely pulver-zej. the dose for chill
dren beng 10 grams, according to age,
stirred up in five times its weight of clear
water The dose should be absorbed in
from twenty to thirty minutes. An invtn-
chile desire for sleep seizes on the patient,
and the fever falls at once usually in less
than half hour, giving way to crisis
similar to that of pneumonia. The impor-
tant point upon which DIR. Stumpf insists is
that the patient take neither food nor
drink, alcoholic or otherwise, during e'ght-
cen or twenty hours following the instltu-
ton of the treatment"

Double Tracking The Santa Fe.

1t would be colossal undertaking to
double track the Santa Fe all the way
from Chicago to California and the
Gulf of Mexico.
To seriously suggest it now would
provoke smile from men who know
the cost of such project
Yet it NAV happen some day, if bust
ness continues to increase as rapidly as
in the last decade.
This plan of two tracks from the
Great Lakes to Pacific Ocean does not
necessarily imply that the tracks will
be laid side bv side. In many cases cut
offs will be used. thus saving in mileage
as well as train operation.
Using the term in it's restricted sense
by the end of 1905 the Santa Fe will
have more than 800 miles of double
track in operation. Second tracks are
now being built as follows: To finish
the gap between Chicago and Joliet;
between several points in Missouri,
aggregating 40 miles; to complete the
Emporia cutoff; east, west and south of
Newton, in Kansas, and on both sides
of Ration Mountain, in Colorado and
New Mexico.

RAINDROPS.

Knocking against NV window pane
Fell the drip.drop OF the silver rain
Like tears by an angel wept.
When a teasing wind came rollick'ng
by
And the raindrops fed with a farewell
sigh
But one in a rosebud crept.
1t lay like gem on her heart of gold
And hearkcncd the tales that her lover
bold
Breathed to this blushing flower.
Then a sunbeam sped from his home on
high
And carried the raindrop up to the sky
Where he wooed her for one short
hour.
Silent-queen night, came creeping down,
In search OF pearl Tor her jeweled
crown,
And she leaned OR the sunsets bar.

She found the tear that the sunbeam

And fash oned it into star,

KLICkITAT FARMERS believe
THAT N. p. is TO BUILD DOWN
COLUMBIA RIVER
Agents Get More Options for Right Of
Way-In Employ Of the North
ern Pacific Railway

A special dispatch to the Portland
Oregonian from Hood River says that
the people of Klickitat county are
firmly of the belief that the Northern
Pacific is preparing to construct line
down the north bank of the Columbia,
or that the company is making a des-
perate bluff to keep some other rail-
way out Of the field; this in spite Of
the fact that President Elliott of the
Northern Pacific, recently gave out
that the company had no intention Of
building down the north bank Of the
Columbia.
A. R. Upright, of Tacoma, has been
located at White Salmon for the last
week endeavoring to obtain options
from the farmers for rights of way for
road. He is meeting with much
difficulty at this point. The land here
lies in a narrow strip along the wa
ter's edge. The location is good for
CeiIIy Ii ull dIll tliC SUI 40 CAL SiiiNi'
fertile A railroad through the cen
ter of these small tracts would ruin
the berry and tomato plantations. One
man wants $500 for four acres. For
the last three years these four acres
have Melted him over $1,S00.
Mr.. Upright will not state directly
for what company he is working, but
has as much as admitted in confidence
to some of the farmers that ne is in the
employ of the Northern Pacific. When
shown the press dispatch wherein
President Elliott denied his company
was in this field, he smiled.
The right of way agents nave been
working all along the line between
Stevenson and Lyle. 1t is the suppo-
sition at White Salmon that the pro-
posed road will cross the Columbia
from Portland to Vancouver; run then
east to Lyle, to connect with the Lyle
Goldendale road, which recently
CIldIlScu UClIS pun SAcSSN, az 10
supposed, by Northern Pacific inter-
ests; and from Goldendale a branch
will be extended over to Prosser.
There is also a possibility that the
road will continue on up the Columbia
and join the Northern Pacific at Pas
CO, as it is known that rights of way
for such a line nave been secured by
an agent operating west from Walla
Walla.
Speculation concerning this new
doad has sent real estate booming.
Much rivalry exists between some Of
the points as to the location of the
depot. Decision on this point means
much to the property owners. Bigen
landing appears to have strong rea-
sons for believing that the new town
which is expected to spring up into
existence as soon as the road is as
sured, and already some of the farms
have been plated and lots thrown on
the market at $50 each.
AS he is meeting with difficulty in
securing options of the rights Of way
through the valuable lands at White
Salmon, Mr. Upright has left for The
Dalles to confer with the directorate
of his company. 1t is expected that
+ the engineers will endeavor to seek a
route that will avoid cutting through
the fruit farms. This can possibly
be done by keeping close in to the
bank at a slightly higher grade.
