A press photographer asked Goldwin
Smith, the well-known author, to pose

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


"Some two weeks ago Mexican Of
the buscon class offered to sell me
considerable quantity Of placer gold,
which he claimed he had found within
100 kilometres of Tepisco. but he re-
fused to tell where he had got It," said
T. G. Gibson Of Tepisco, Sonora.
Among this gold was one nugget as
large as an ordinary sized marble. A
friend of mine bought this gold for
$500, and a day or two later sold 1t for
s565.
"It is no uncommon thing to find the
buscones Of that part Of the country
with gold for sale. This nugget"-here
he exhibited a piece Of smoothly worn
wash gold Of irregular shape, and
about half an inch long by little over
a quarter of an inch wide, with piece
of white quartz running crosswise
through TT bought from buscon
some three years ago in Tepisco. He
had several other pieces Of fine gold
ore, but as was not interested In
mines, bought this simply for the
purpose of making a pin out Of it.
About eight months ago buscon
brought into Tepisco a mule load OF
silver ore, which he sold for $3.50 to
one of the local ore buyers. All efforts
to induce him to reveal the place
where he obtained the ore proved of no
avail. When he found he was watch
ed by spies of mining men he went back
to work upon a little corn ranch that
he had in the neighborhood, and there
he stayed until those watching him got
tired About two months ago he sud-
denly disappeared and had not
again been seen there at the time Of
my departure, two weeks ago. 1t is
my opinion that he is again on the hunt
for the mine from which he got the
ore. Or, If he knows where it Is, he
Is taking ore out of 1t on the quiet;
for he sold out all his corn and real
lied on his other crops at a sacrifice
before he left.
ut may be that he is taking out de-
nouncement papers. But this doubt,
as an Indian in that country rarely
does that, for it means the payment of
taxes, and incidentally the revealing Of
the place where the mine Is situated.
The Indian about there has been so
badly treated and cheated that he is
afraid Of every one, and suspicious OF
even the mining authorities.
"The silver ore which this Indian
brought into the town was an oxide al
most Jet black, running like a great
seam through a wide vein Of hard lime
formation. One of the pieces of ore
brought in by the Indian assayed $1,000
to the ton in silver and 81 500 to the
ton gold. Very little Of it ran much
less. The man who made the assay has
tried every means in his power to in
duce the Indian to tell him where the
hidden mine is. But the best he could
get out of him was that it Is In the
north at a considerable distance from
Tepisco, and that the whole region,
which is on the borders of the hot
lands, Is scanned with veins of silver
ore.
Many buscones have been seen on
the hunt for this hidden mine ever
since the Indian brought in the famous
ore some months ago."-MeXican Her

contingent attending Clemson college
where Mr.. Camp attained honors on
the football field as we'll as In his
studies He is the eldest son of Mr..
J. c. Camp. The bride is charming
