Romantic Stories Of the Abandoned
Treasures Of Mexico.

Romantic Stories OF the
Treasures Of Mexico.
Among the rich mines worked by
The Spaniards was the Tarasca, In so
nora, of which Humboldt writes SO
~fascinatingly and Ward and other MS
torians mention favorably. The MS
tory Of Tarasca is one Of evil DEEDS,
of '%duplicity, of theft, Of greed n all
the base passions melted by the o Y
of gold. The mine was worked long
before the Spaniards arrived in Mex
leo and the gold and silver fashloned
into ornaments by the ~aborigines. A
family in Guaymas has a necklace OF
flying fish purchased from Pima IN
dian chief who stated that the metal
was dug from Tarasca. The mine was
worked by various Spaniards n la
ter acquired for the Grown OF Spain.
1t was extensively worked, barring
certain periods during Apache wars
until the epoch of the French interveh-
ton, when the shafts and tunnels are
said to have been concealed by the adj
ministrator, Don Juan Moreno, an lm-
perialist, who was forced to seek saIe-
ty in flight. After the restoration OF
peace Tarasca was looked for In valn'
and to the present time no one Is GER
tain of its location, though the mine
row known as Ubarbo is believed to
be the Tarasca. Ubarbo had been ex-
tensively worked when ~re-discovered,
years ago, and the shafts and tunnels
concealed under earth and brush. Rlch
pillars of ore were found on the drifts,
and the mine corresponds with the
description in the archives of the
American Consulate at Guaymas.
But the lost mine about which tradi-
ton gathers thickest is Taiopa, sup
posed to be located in the S~hahuaripa
district, in Sonora. Little documen-
tary evidence exists to prove Taiopas
reality, and that has evidently beer
manufactured by INSCRIPTIONS mani
pulators. A wealthy Mexican gentle
man recently made a trip to Madrid,
and after minute search, at great ex-
pense, found absolutely no data TO
prove that such a mine was worked
for the Crown of Spain and no rell-
able data in the Mexican archives or
elsewhere to prove that such a mine
was ever known. But quite as trust
worthy as most written documents are
the traditions gathered from the Pima
Indians. They stoutly maintain that
Taiopa exists, and a few claim TO
know its locality. Small qualities OF
very rich ore are occasionally sold at
the mountain mining camps, and all
attempts to follow the Indians to tho
spot where it is found or bride them
to reveal it have failed. Wanting but
little in addition to the corn they
grow, they are imbued with a super
stitution that il they reveal the To-
cality of a mine they will instantly
drop dead. To one un~acquainted with
the Indian character this statement
may seem incredible, but any prospec-
tor or miner in the Sierra Madre will
affirm its truth. Large sums OF mon
ey have been offered the Pimas to
tell where the lost mine is. They scorn
money, and the only open sesame is
mescal, by the liberal use of which
the Indians may be made to disclose
many things, but SO far he has held
inviolate his vow to reveal to no man
the famous Taiopa.-Modern Mexico.

Primaries In pennsvivanla.

After the general election Of next No
vomber the remnant Of gang influence
in the Legislature could not consent to
an earlier introduction OF the reform
legalzed primary elections will prevail
in Pennsylvania A law to this effect
was enacted at the recent special session
Of the General Assembly The new sys-
tenn viii 20 into effect at the primaries
preceding the municipal elections Of
February, 1907, when a mayor and many
City Councilmen viii be chosen in Phila-
delphia It will, therefore, have severe
and practical test in that city.
BY the provisions Of the Primary Elec-
ton law, any person who can secure the
signatures Of one hundred members Of
his party 10 a petition to be fled with the
County Commissioners may become a
candidate for nomination, and his name
must be printed by the commissioners
on the official primary ballot Of the party.
On this ballot no preference will be shown
TO candidates favored by the City Com
mittees; the names will be put on the
Same in their alphabetical order
The date Of the primaries is fixed by
law, and all parties will hold their pri-
maries at the same time at the regular
polling place in the division. The pri-
maries arc TO be conducted by the regular
election officers, under the protection Of
the police and Of all the safeguards which
tho law throws around the exercise Of the
suffrage. The votes will be counted and
canvassed openly, under the eyes Of the
watchers Of the various candidates and
party committees, and the results an
nounced and reported as in the case Of
regular elections.
Any one hundred voters will have as
much say in the matter Of placing the
names of candidates for nomination be
fore the public as win the most powerful
political organization. If nominations
under the new law should not proceed
from the people it would be the peoples 3
own fault. The way win be wide open
to them. No aspirant will have cause
to complain Of the tyranny OF q caucus,
says the Philadelphia Record. He will
have an ever-avaiable remedy against
a "tum down." he will have the privilege
Of direct appeal to the citizens of his
town or ward or district TO vote for him
at the primaries, Notwithstanding the
preferences Of the party organization
and in defiance Of IFS wishesan-d if he
succeeds he will be the Irregular" candi-
date and not a boter.
These primary election provisions sound
good-almost as good as the provisions
Of the excellent law which prevails il
New Castle county, this State. At any
rate, they are a tremendous improvement
over existing primary election arrange
ments in the long ring-ruled State OF Penn
sylvania.

well as many others who have used it,
claim really exceptional qualities for the
product. These are perfect solubility,
permitting the reconstruction Of natural
milk with all its organoleptic properties,
the complete retention of all the nutritive
principles and the assimilability OF fresh
milk, and perfect preservability and abb
solute stenlity.
"1he apparatus designed by DR.. Just
is extreme simplicity. IL consists essen
TALLY of two hollow, polished metal cylin-
ders placed side by side and slightly sepa-
rated from each other. They are mountd
in strong iron framework, and revolve
in opposite directions at a rate OF approxi-
mately six revolutions per minute. Super
heated steam at a pressure OF about 40
pounds per square inch is introduced
into these cylinders, and heats them to a
temperature considerably above 2l2 de-
grees Fahrenheit. The milk is fed con-
tinuously into the space between the
upper halves Of the faces Of the two cylin-
ders, and the evaporation begins as soon
as the liquid comes into contact with the
heated metal surface. The milk passes
gradually between the cylinders, and is
carried in a thin, uniform layer upon each
until it reaches a knife blade held in con-
tact with the surface, which removes the
solid, moist milk residue in continuous
sheets. These sheets dry upon cooling
and are easily crumbled into a haky
white powder"

MILK IN SOLID FORM.
New Process Proves That the Scientists
Were Wrong.


Were Wrong.
Scientists and chemists interested in
the problem OF the preservation Of milk,
and removing from it the danger Of
propagating disease have been for years
trying to devise a method whereby milk
might be prepared in solid form and still
retain those properties which make it Of
value while a liquid. Says the writer
of an article on the subject in the
Scientific American Supplement:
CONDENSED milk, the first step in this
direction, while possessing many ad-
vantages, still has certain drawbacks
which prevent its use for many purposes
The next step was, naturally, the con-
plete conversion of milk into a solid or
powdered form. The underlying principle
in making both condensed and dry milk
is extremely simple, and consists merely
in evaporating a portion or all of the
water contained therein. The difficulty
lies in the matter in which this is done;
for the dry milk, TO be OF practical utility,
must be perfectly soluble, and must, in
effect, regain its original condition when
dissolved in water.
"Strictly speaking, milk in dry form is
not an entirely new product, for several
brands of it have been on the market for
a number of years. Most OF these, how
ever, possess the disadvantage of incom-
plete solubility, and are liable to leave
numbers of small clots or humps in the
dissolved milk, and this frequently emits
an unpleasant odor of cheese upon stand
ing undisturbed for a short period These
forms of dry milk are manufactured by
the so-called slow evaporation or low
temperature process, for many scientists
have maintained that rapid evaporation
at high temperature would precipitate the
albumen, and consequently make the
product insoluble to a degree.
That the reverse is true, appears to
have been proven by DIR. John A. just
of Syracuse, n. Y, who has been granted
patents covering both his process for
making dry milk and the product of the
the same, and this process is almost n
complete contradiction OF other methods
now in use. The manufacture of dry
milk, according to the just methods, as

HANGED ON GHOSTS TESTIMONY.
Peculiar Trials Found Among British Court
Records.

London Daily Standard.
The testimony of "ghost" would not
now count for much in a court of law, but
the day has been when it sufiiced to hang
man. 1t is stated that the original dep
ositions are IN the Bodleian Library of a
most remarkable case of this character
A girl named Annie Walker was sup
posed TO have been sent away for her good
by substantial farmer. Some time after
ward so-called apparition appeared to
a neighbor, with its head all bloody from
wounds, and telling him that she had been
murdered by the farmer and an accom-
plice. Her body, the apparition said
had been buried in a spot which she
described, and she begged the man to
whom she appeared to bnng her murderer
TO Justice. True enough, the body was
found in the place mentioned, and the
men were brought TO trial. The sensa-
tional character of the case was intensified
by one of the jurymen declaring that he
saw tho child of the dead woman "sitting
upon the shoulder" of its father, the
farmer. Both the culprits were hanged.
There was a ghostly accuser in case
with which readers of Scott are familiar.
Soon after the "45" an English soldier
wandering near Bmemar met violent
death Hawks do not peck out hawks
cen and no man opened his mouth to give
a clew. Years passed and then came a
story of a communication from another
world.
A farm servant declared that in the
night a spirit had appeared to him, de
claring itself to be the ghost Of the soldier,
whose bones it said lay still unburied. The
Highlander must see to their decent inter
ment and have the murderers, two men
named, brought to justice. The High
lander promised, but did not keep his word,
and a second and third time the spirit
appeared and upbraided him for his
breach of faith. Alarmed al last apd no
longer daring to delay, the man called
companion, went to the spot which the
spirit had indicated, and there found tube
bones of the murdered warrior concealed
in moorland tract called the Hill Of
| Christie.
The story Of the Highlander came to
the ears of an anti-Jacobite, who caused
the matter to be brought to trial before
| the Court OF Judiciary, Edinburgh. There
I the tale was corroborated by a woman
who had seen a naked figure enter the
/ place or .he night spoken OF by the man.
/ Il was an age Of superstition, in a district
more tnan commonly given to supersti-
tions, and the jury seemed disposed to
/ find the two men charged guilty Of the
murder But it happened that the prin-
cipal witness spoke only Gaelic. snow,
said counsel for the defence, Sin what
language did the ghost speak p 'ln as
good Gaelic as / ever heard in Lochaber,
was the reply "Pretty good for the
ghost OF an English soldier. said counsel.
And that question and comment saved
the necks Of the men at the bar. The
jury could believe in ghost, but not in
an English ghost speaking Gaelic.
