PE0N'S LUCKY FALL.
How Mexican Wood Peddler Fell Over
Cliff Into Vast Wealth.

Pablo Huerta, a Mexican wood ped
dler Of the peon class, literally fell into
good fortune a few days ago, says a
Monterey (Mexieo) special dispatch to
/ the St Louis Globe Democrat He
was IN the mountains with his burro,
hunting for supply of wood He
I penetrated a region that he had never
seen before. He lost his way, and,
leaving his burro tied to tree, he
started afoot 10 hunt for some familiar
pathway or sign that would lead him
out Of the mountains. He was search
Ing for his bearings when he tumbled
and fell into deep arroyo. He was
painfully injured and for short time
was unable to move.
lie finally managed to arise and he
noticed at his feet a quantity Of rock
which he had knocked of a protruding
ledge IN his fall He had worked in
the mines around Monterey, and he in
stantly recognized the rock as rich
silver ore. He made a careful exam
nation Of the ledge and saw that it
was wide and apparently carried metal
values Of fabulous richness.
IIuerta was trembling with excite
ment as he made his way out Of the
arroyo. lie tore off piece of his cot
ton shirt and tied it to tree situated
upon the bank of the gorge and then
got his burro and started again in
search of the road out Of the noun
talns. He marked his trail with piles
Of rock as he went along, and in a
short while he struck the road that led
into the town. He made forthwith to
Monterey, bringing a number of sam
pies of the ore with him.
He had the good sense to proceed
first to the government mining office,
where he filed his claim. He then
went to an assay Office and had the
samples assayed. The results show
that the find is of great richness and
that the mine will make Huerta man
of much wealth. 1t is reported that he
has already been offered $4,000 cash
for the bare prospect. He had no diff

AS announced fin a special advertise
ment in The Washington Herald. Prof
Ernest T. Wines ester is trying new
voices for St --aurs sanctuary choir
This choir ranks very high as a mu-
sical organization, and both in it's
church work and secular recitals has
won unlimited praise for artistic and
finished singing. It is also one of two
choirs in the United States to come to
the special notice of his holiness, the
Pope. and to receive his personal bene-
diction, which in Catholic circles is a
most unusual honor. Boys between
eight and thirteen years of age here
have an excellent opportunity OF study
ing music. and all who desire to take
advantage of the rehearsals and choir
school. will be welcome. providing they
have good natural voices.
Mr. Winchester's recent trip to Gin

Of GregOrian lectures at the Cathedral
resulted in his being appointed a mem
