San Francisco, or rather California,
has received something of a black eye
in sporting matters this winter. Turf
scandals and alleged crooked fights
have caused sporting men in various
parts of the country to sit up and take
notice. The exposure of the Cans
Britt mill. the charges of fraud follow
ing the Hart-RurEs affair. the ugly ru-
mors relative to the FitZ-OBrien bat
tie. the ruling off of Dick Williams for
the alleged doping of Arragowan and
the suspension of Boots DurneH and
John J. McCafferty. convicted of in
dulsihS in fraudulent turf practices at
Los Angeles, are some of the things
that nave attracted attention. There
have been other queer sporting Incl
dents on the coast in these lines, but
nothing like the Wyatt
Earp take and the WalcOtt-Layigne
sellout. Yet the game goes on right
merrily and the public apparently he
lieves in it implicitly.

or not this animal would die of Texas fever,
transmitted by the tick Boophilus dnnual-
tus. Texas fever has been carried into
this part Of Oklahoma for years by herds OF
cattle from the South.
1t is known positively that buffalo, like
domestic cattle, brought from the north
10 fever infected areas become inoculated
and in most instances die. Cattle raised
in localities where fever is always present
become immune after one or W. genera
ito ms.
1t is ~oonjectured that in the days when
vast herds Of buffalo moved back and
forth between Texas and the northern
ranges they were immune from Texas
fever, or else they would have died in un-
told numbers. Domestic cattle lose their
immunity in time when taken to northern
ATTITUDES, and the fact that buffalo now die
when exposed to fever infection indicates
that they also have lost their primitive
immunity.
The preserve could be made proof against
fever by fencing, and excluding infected
cattle for a specific period, known to veteri-
narians. In this time the egg Of the ticks
deposited in the untenanted preserve
would hatch and their progeny die for lack
OF sustenance, which must be drawn from
the blood Of cattle.

How such mines we're originally discov-

conquest in the sixteenth century was
primarily actuated by thirst for gold. The
close Of the first century after the conquest
saw Mexico a vast mining camp.
In some OF the great workings toiled

The mining industry assumed such pro-
portions in the States Of Sonora and Chi
huahua that in the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries nearly two billion
dollars worth OF bullion was sent to Spain.
Then the Indians rebelled, here n there,
against their cruel masters.
Sometimes they killed them underground;
sometimes as they slept; sometimes as they
fed. Every Spaniard dead meant an aban-

Ell PAso. Tex, May 1.-THE murder Of
two American ~prospectors in the Sierra
Madre Mountains, State OF Sonora, Mexico,
Ia 4 month by a hand OF NaquI Indians
has prevented, perhaps, the reopening Of
a mine once successfully worked 10y a pre-
historic race. About three months ago
the pair. who gave their names "a Murphy
and Thomas. came into the little town Of
Talanquera, driving two worn-out pack
burros.
In response to the friendly inquiries Of
the half dozen Americans who live in the
town and have charge of a mine near by,
they Said they had spent several months
prospecting in the cordilleTa to the west
ward, and had come out to renew their
stock Of ammunition and other supplies,
Asked what luck they had had, they re-
turned evasive nswer
They made friends witt an assayer, and
Thomas asked him to assay some samples.
The assayer consented, and Thomas pro-
duced several chunks Of ore. The assay
showed that the samples ran more than
$50, 900 Of gold to the ton. Tha night, In
the prospector's room in the fonda they
told the assayer his tale.
Ten weeks previously they were in the
cordillera. One day Murphy, while hunt
ing a strayed burro, discovered by accident
what looked like a bit Of masonry. This
he found was a wall Of burned bricks.
Murphy and Thomas together laid the
wall bare and broke a hole through II. IL
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-05-27

seemed to cover an old tunnel mouth.
After the bad air mad cleared sufficiently,
they explored the place to the e~nd-about
a hundred and fifty feet.
II had a soHd rock hanging wall and was
nowhere badly caved. At the end OF the tun-
mel they found a vein two feet wide OF the
richest gold ore they had ever seen.
They thought at first that it was an old
Spanish working, but it had none OF the
earnarks Of such. They found in the
dust rear the entrance half a dozen jade
images, each about two inches high, With
Mopgol- Tartar faces and queues hanging
down their backs.
This led them to think that it antedated
the Spanish conquest, but being p~rospectors
and not psychologists, they did not bother
about the images. They showed one to
the assayer. He said he had seen others
like it in the hands OF the mountain Indians,
who called them tokens Of a god who had
lived there in times past. but who had long
ago gone back TO his home overseas. Neither
the ~prospectors ror the assayer gave much
heed to the jade images; they thought
more OF the sixty thousand dollar gold ore.
The upshot OF it all was that Murphy and
Thomas agreed to let the assayer in on the
secret. Two days later the three started
for the mine. The Yaquis ambushed the
party when they were half way on their
journey and Murphy and Thomas were
killed. The ASA yer escaped, but he doesn't
know where the mine is and hasn't been
