SAY IT'S THE LONG LOST NINE
Texas Story of Shaft Piled With
Skeletons.

Texas Story of a Shaft Piled With
Skeletons.
KERRvIL1,E, Ten, Feb. 26.-It Is re-
ported in the Frio mountains. about
twenty-five miles south Of here. an an
cient Spanish mine has been discover
ed by w. w. Chambers which is sup
posed to be the long lost San Saba
gold and silver mine, described by
tradition as Of fabulous richness.
Many expeditions have gone In
search Of this mine. Tradition says
that more than one hundred men were
employed in 1t and that they were all
massacred by Indians, who covered
the shaft and erased all evidence Of its
existence.
The story of Chambers's discovery Is
that he explored the mine In company
with several other men. They discov-
cred that the shaft opened into a large
chamber at a depth of only twenty
feet from the surface. In this cham
Der was a pile Of skeletons, number
ing eighty human beings. These are
supposed to be remains Of the miners
killed by the Indians. In the same
compartment were found many an
cient tools. More than fifty guns of
ancient make were also found.
According to tradition there were
several hundred thousand dollars OF
gold and silver stored at the mine at
the time the attack was made by the
Indians. Chambers and his compan-
ions did not find this bullion.
In a canon near the shaft the ruins
Of ancient smelling furnaces operated
in connection with the mine were
found. The ruins of the old ore
crusher were also standing.
The rediscovery Of this mine has
produced excitement throughout this
part of the state. Mr.. Chambers has
staked several claims adjacent to the
property and other mining prospect
ors have gone to the locality and all
of the land for several miles surround
ing the mine is being prospected for
minerals.
According to the old records the
Spaniards took more than $2,OOO,Ooo
of ore out of the mine during the years
that they worked it. Charles L. Dig
nowity of Boston, Mass, made seVerai
efforts to locate the San Saba mine
many years ago. 1t is said that ne

THAT HlAwArHA YARN.
An Anderson Editor Takes the Poet
LonsfeIIow to Task.

An Anderson Editor Takes the Poet
lonsfeIIow to Task.
A London paper has added to the
sum Of human misery by asking its
readers to figure out how fast Hia-
watha could run, using the following
data from Longfellow's poem:
Strong of arm was Hiawatha;
He could shoot ten arrows upward
And the tenth had left the bow string
Ere the first to earth had fallen.
Swift of foot was Hiawatha;
He could shoot an arrow from him
And run forward with such swiftness
That the arrow fell behind him.
The whole world Is figuring. Acres
of paper and cords of pencils have been
wasted, and still the figuring goes on.
One mathematician says that meg
lecting the resistance Of the air and
one arrow second, the solution is as
follows: The time of flight Of the ar
rows shot upward must have been nine
seconds. Therefore the velocity with
which they were shot, being equal to
the time multiplied into half the value
of the constant Of gravity, was IA
feet a second"
And here is another:
Nov, in shooting an arrow from
him Hiawatha, to obtain the farthest
flight, would let fly at an angle Of 45
degrees, and by a simple trigonometri-
cal calculation we therefore arrive at
the fact that the horizontal velocity OF
the arrow would be rather less than
144 feet a second, and would in fact
be 102 feet second, or 10 miles an
hour. Hiawatha would, therefore, have
to run faster than this"
And here is what an American says
about 1t:
IAN arrow shot at 144 feet a second
would fly ZIG yards, or nearly fur
long. Hlawatha would run that dis
tance in about seven seconds, so that
he would be able to give the present
holder OF the record some 145 yards
start
That would be running some, GER
tainly.
But why worry about 1t? There's
nothing in 1t.
Longfellow was a great poet but he
had a shocking regard for the truth.
He simply told lie about Hiawatha-
that's all there is to it. That old In
dian wouldn't do the things Longfel-
low said he could do, nor anything ap"
preaching them.
Forget it. Think about something
else-Anderson Daily Mail.

His coat was buttoned from top to

caused me to look at him. He had

HE looked at me as II he were daz-

had plastered his hair in that way
honestly and innocently. 1t hurt him
to think that he had done something
he should not have done. That was
his nature. He looked in the mirror,
and then that expression Of humor
which I never saw in any other face
came out. He took both hands and
showed them through his hair until 1t
looked like brush-heap after hur-
ricane Then he looked at me. and I
told him that was more like him. We
walked to the photographers. several
blocks away. and my recollection is
that he scarcely spoke during that
time. When he sat before the camera,
he ran his long fingers through his
hair again, and looked at me like
child that had been whipped. From

Last weeks election should be
satisfactory to the republicans OF
Michigan as the majority for their
candidates on the state ticket will
be in the vicinity one hundred thous-
and. The vote on the amendment
to the constitution making it pos
sible to continue the employment OF
prison labor was evidently largely
assisted through the desire to re-
move all bindrances to the proposed
biader.twine plant 80 earnestly
urged by Governor Warner. In
some cities and counties the demo-
Gratis deserted their state candidates
and adopted other organization
names in order to asst in the cleo.
tion OF local candidates. AS the
last state contest preliminary to the
important presidential election OF
next year the results OF last weeks
voting was decidedly helpful to
Michigan republicans and the pur.
poses their party represents.
