Mexico City, Mex, July 23.-Mr. and
Mrs Harry j. Eisenhart, who were mar
ried>a few days ago at III Pase after a
most romantic meeting and courtship,
are spending their honeymoon in this
city, preparatory to going to the remote
mining camp of Zaculpan. where they
will reside.
The bride is a newspaper writer and
is well known in the United States and
Mexico She has travelled from Mexi-
co City to Guatemala alone and says
she was not bit frightened. She slept
the first night that she met the man,
who is now her husband, in room
where his predecessor had been murder
ed and the last thing she saw when
she closed her eyes for slumber were
the machete marks where the bandits
had broken down the door, but she says
she had the best nights rest of her life,
for it is 400 feet higher than Mexico
City" she declared, "and the air is so
pure and bracing."
Miss Horace Greeley Perry, now Mrs.
Eisenhart, is the daughter of T. NJ
Perry of st. Peter, Mimi, newspaper
man and editor. Her grandfather was
also newspaper man. She met Chief
Andrew John of the Seneca tribe of the
Six Nations of New York when child,
and he took such a fancy to her that he
later adopted her, with the consent of
her father. For several years she lived
with the family of the old chief and
among the Indians of New York.
Prior to coming to Mexico, Miss Per
ry had done newspaper work in various
parts of the United States, and ran -four
papers of her own at different times.
She SAYS that she was the editor of Gov
ernor Steunenberg's paper III Idaho at
the time OF the mining troubles in that
state, and helped him to fight the an
archists in the contest that ultimately
resulted i'll his assassination.
When she first came to Mexico City.
Miss Perry found that there was no dis
position to engage the services of a
woman on any of the American papers,
but finally she got an extra" for three
L.. I.
of the staff of one of the English daily
newspapers here. Miss Perry made a
TIP to Guatemala along the proposed
route OF the Pan-American railroad and
wrote an article on that new country
One of her first assignments was to
go to the Zaculpan district, in the state
Of Mexico, in the very corner and on
the border of the states of Guerrero
and MichOacan to investigate the claims
of certain Americans who had struck a
bonanza in the famous old La Corona
mines, once worked by the Spanish
kings and famous throughout the world
as the place where Colonel Bemmitt, an
Englishman, was murdered by bandits,
who came near causing war between
Mexico and Great Britain.
No other American woman had ever
visited the place, which is l2O ki!ome-
tiers from the railroad. With an In
dian, Mozo, as a guide and protector, she
penetrated the country to explore this
famous mine, and there met Harry L.
Eisenhart, president and general man
ager of the La Corona company That
was a little over three months ago. To
day they are married and she will 60
back to the mine to live
Miss Perry inspected several mines
in the district before returning to Mexico
City, and instead of being harmed by
the natives, was received with great
courtesy. They brought her flowers
decorated her saddle and riding boots
and when she visited their church they
made way for her and gave her special
pace among tnenl.
Il was not bit afraid" she said
They are Indians, and | told them
my adopted father was an Indian. Then
they are Catholics, and so am l. There
Is no danger of my ever coming to any
harm among the Indians. If / had not
married, my paper was going to send
me down among the Yaquis to write UP
the true conditions as they exist, and
l should have been as safe there as in
the United States"
Returning from her trip to that In.
dian country, Miss Perry did not see Mr.
Eisenhart again until a few days ago
when he came to Maxico City to attend
stockholders meeting, and told her he
would not 60 back to the mines without
her.
WAIT while,'' she said. but he said
no; that he could not get away from
the mines, as she knew, and that the,
must go to Ell Paso at once and be mar
