MEXICAN INDIAN SECRETS.
Natives Who Carefully Conceal All
Finds Of Minerals Made
by Them.


buscon class offered to sell me a con-
siderable quantity of placer gold, which
he claimed he had found within 100
kilometres Of Tepisco, but he refused to
tell where he got it," said T. G. Gibson,
OF Tepisco, Sonora, relates the Mexican
Herald. Among this gold was one mug
get as large as an ordinary-sized mar
BILE. A friend of mine bought this gold
for $500, and day or two later sold it
for $685..
1T is no uncommon thing to find the
buscones of that part of the country
with gold for sale. This nugget"-here
he exhibited piece of smoothly worn
wash gold of irregular shape, and about
half an inch long by little over quar-
ter of an inch wide, with piece of
white quartz running crosswise through
1T 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 I bought
this simply for the purpose of making
a pin out of it.
About eight months ago a buscon
brought into TepiscO a mule load of sill
yer ore, which he sold for $3.50 to one of
the local ore buyers. All efforts to in
duce him to reveal the place where he
obtained the ore proved of no avail.
When he found he was watched by spies
of mining men he went back to work
upon little corn ranch that he had in
the neighborhood, and there he stayed
until those watching him got tired.
About two months ago he suddenly dis
appeared, and had not again been seen
there at the time of my departure, two
weeks ago. It 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 it on
the quiet; for he sold out all his corn
and realized on his other crops at a
sacrifice before he left
1T 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
everyone, and suspicious of even the
mining authorities.
"The silver ore which this Indian
brought into this town was an oxide al
most jet black, running like a great
seam through wide vein of hard lime
formation. One of the pieces of ore
brought in by the Indian assayed s., 800
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 induce 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 border 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."

Death of Rev. c. C. Rumberger.

The many friends in Tionests were
shocked TO learn of the death of Rev. c.
C. Rumberger, which occurred Monday,
June 18th, 1906, at his home in Big Run,
Jefferson county, after long illness.
We are without data to prepare suit
able memorial of the deceased and will
therefore defer extended mention until
later. He was native of Armstrong
county and was aged about 50 years. On
March "a, 1874, he was united in marriage
with Miss Jennie Clark, who survives
with one daughter, Miss Mary. DR..
Rumberger was licensed to preach in the
NJ. L. church in 1882; admitted on trial in
1886, and full connection in 1889. He held
charges at Monterey, Tionesta, East
Brady, Rey noldsville, Emlenton and Big
Run. During his pastorate in Tionesta
from 1887 to 1891 and in 1900, he made
many warm friends in all walks of life
and the sympathy of these will go out TO
the stricken family. For many years he
was treasurer of the con ference.
The funeral will be held this afternoon
in his church at Big Run and the inter-
ment will be at his old home at Wor-
thington, Armstrong county.

This Is a Good Fish Story.

G. d. Allen, a well-known hardware
man of Grand Valley, Las well-founded
belief that there is nothing In the fish,
flesh or fowl line that is as intelligent as a
brook trout. Some time ago he caught
three trout in stream near that place.
One of these was foot long aud was alive
when Mr.. Allen reached home. 1t was too
fine a specimen to kill and eat and he put
it in a tank of water in his warehouse.
Mr.. Allen made it a daily custom to catch
flies and feed the fish and inside ofl0 days
the fish showed that it recognized the man
and would come to be fed each time he
approached the tank. Then Mr.. Allen
took the fish out of the tank and deposited
it in hole in the small stream that winds
through the town. Two days later Mr..
Allen went to the hole and as soon as he
put in an appearance the fish came TO the
surface of the water and showed evidence
that it recognized him and was waiting for
its feast OF flies. Others who have tried
to get sight of the big fish, have been
unable TO do so, as it sulks in tho bottom
of the deep pool, but rises readily when
Mr.. Allen visits the spot.-Oil City

About Wills.

No matter the size of your estate, you
should leave will. 1t not only directs,
but simplifies, and frequently relieves
some very embarrassing situations. The
drawing of will and the making OF
changes in a will already drawn, are
things that should not be postponed.
One of the most important matters in
connection with will is naming the Ex-
ecutor. Any individual named may de-
cline to act, may be i'll or have moved
away, or may not live until his services
are required.
Some men name their wives without
realizing the amount of work and worry
this throws on her just at time when
she is absolutely unfit to assume il. The
average woman is not familiar with bus
mess affairs and has to rely on the advice
of various friends. This advice is often
conflicting; in short, the best results are
not secured. The

The Tionesta REPUBLICAN says that
the panther who run the boys up Swager
Run, probably came from Jameson and
Hunter Runs. Well, call in your beasts.
We don't want 'em.-Tidioute News.
Our hunters did try to call him in but
they and their dogs could not locate him.
The only dog to encounter the beast was
good fighter owned by Bert Thomson,
of Jameson station, who with his master
met the panther one dark night on JAM
ieson Run. In about two minutes the
dog concluded he wasn't looking for any
lost panther and broke for home, being
badly chewed up and whipped.
Gus b. Evans, a shrewd politician and
most excellent business man, was just
as happy over the nomination of his en-
ployer as Mr.. Wheeler could possibly be
for himself. Mr.. Evans has been conf
dental assistant to Mr.. Wheeler in bus
iness for almost twenty years, which is
evidence of the fact that he is very wor-
thy, competent gentleman. But for his
loyalty and enthusiasm in the cause of
his employer Mr. Wheeler might never
have been persuaded to contest for Con-
gressional honors. In extending our
hearty congratulations to Mr.. Wheeler
we want to extend to Gus liberal share
of the credit. He well deserves it.-Ridg-
way Advocate.

saw big fat porcupine standing in the
kitchen. He chased the intruder from
the house and killed it with lew blows

porcupine last summer in the road near

1t may be a surprise to many to learn
that severe cold can be completely
broken up in one or two days time. The
first symptoms of a cold are dry, loud
cough, a proluse watery discharge from
the nose, aud thin, white coating on the
tongue. When Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is taken every hour on the first
appearance of these symptoms, it coun-
teracts the effect OF the cold and restores
the system to healthy condition within

Base Ball.
TIoNEsTA II. TITusYILLE Z.


Tionesta has now made the rounds of
the Titusville ball teams and has beaten
them all. The Titusville High School
team were Tionesta visitors Saturday and
while they put up the best game of any
Tiiusville team here this year they could
not win. The game was practically a
pitchers battle between Bankhead and
Gray, in which the former had much the
best of it. Bankhead's support, except
in one inning, was fine. Gray's support
was little weak. But it was good
game and interesting TO the finish. In
the seventh inning catcher Ringland was
severely injured by falling on the play
ers' bench in going after foul fly. For
time it looked as though he was Sc
riously hurt, but he recovered and was
all right when the team left for home.
