IT'S THE LONG LOST MINE
Texas Adds n Mineral wonder TO
the List of PrOspectOrs'
Dreams.

Il is reported that IN the Frio noun
tains. about twenty-five miles south of
Kerrville, Tex, an ancient Spanish mine |
has been discovered by w. w. Chambers
which is supposed 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
100 men were employed in 1t and that they
were all massacred by Indians, who COW
cred the shaft and effaced all evidence of
its existence.
The story of Chambers discovery is that
he explored the mine in company with
several other men. They discovered that
the shaft opened into large chamber at
depth of only twenty feet from the sur
face. In this chamber was a pile of skele-
tons, numbering eighty human beings
These are supposed to be the remains OF
I the miners killed by the Indians In the
same compartment were found many an
cieut tools. More than fifty guns Of an
cient make were also found.
| According to traditions there were sew
eral hundred thousand dollars of gold and
silver stored at the mine at the time the
attack was made by the Indians. Cham
bers and his companions did not find this
bullion.
2 In a canyon near the shaft the ruins of
the 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 pro-
duced excitement throughout this part OF
the state Mr.. Chambers has staked sew
eral claims adjacent to the property and
other mining prospectors have gone to the
=
miles surrounding the mine is being pros
pected for minerals.
According to the old records the Span
iards took more than 100000 Of ore out
Of the mine during the years that they
worked 1t. Charles L. Dignowity of Bos-
ton, Mass, made several efforts to locate
the San Saba mine many years ago. 1t is
said that he spent more than $4,000 in this
fortune hunting expedition, but in vain.
In the early eos Jose Flores. Mexican
OF Monclova, obtained copy of the musty
record concerning the mine and, coming to
San Antonio, outfitted an expedition to
search for It. At that time the Comanche
Indians were raiding the country west Of
San Antonio and Senior Flores was warned
that he would be risking the lives OF him
self and his men II he entered the region
where the mine was said to be located.
He laughed at these warnings and &C
companied by six men and two teams and
wagons, LEFT for the Frio river country.
The party had reached a point near the
present town Of Utopia when they were
fred upon by Indians and all were killed.
The Indians took the horses and burned
the wagons

CORY RECORD OF STREET CARS
CrOwding Railroads for Slaughter
LaureIs-what II Costs in
Money.

In an article entitled THE Needless
Slaughter by Street Cars" by John P. Fox,
in the March Everybodys. the writer says:
II along every mile OF street railway
track in the United States a headstone
were raised for every death by accident
the routes we daily travel would resemble
one long drawn-out cemetery.
Within the limits Of Greater New York
the total number killed last year rose 70
227. For every person killed a number are
injured, some Of them crippled for life.
That this slaughter and manning is Grimm
ally needless is sufficiently attested by a
single fact:
In all London IN the last year Of record
u0oO the total number killed was ten.
According to the Royal Traffic commits
sion, the tram cars Of London for 1908 car
ried Son. 200 passengers. The total tradic
Of Greater New York last year was little
over 1.loO.OO00OO passengers carried. These
figures, however, include subway and ele-
waited trafic. while the records for London
do not. But even on the basis Of COM
parison Of traf1c. the number killed in
London Is equivalent to about q, against
about ~ for Greater New York. And this
Is no exceptional instance.
What is true Of New York Is true Of al
mont every other large city in America.
What is true Of London Is true Of slmost
every other large citv in Europe.
These appalling statistics are backed by
still more remarkable figures as to the
amounts paid out for damages by Ameri-
can and by European companies. Thus
the various companies of Greater New York
reported for 1905 a total OF S2,O9s OOs.5s paid
out IN damages. Two million dollars IN q
single yearl But this was not all. The
same companies reported for legal expenses
In connection with accidents the further
item OF 8. 0O5, s92s1. making the total amount
Of damages $S,10s,e02.4O
This is equivalent to 100000 fares 8
yeari
The total amount paid out by all tbs
tram companies Of the United Kingdom
including Great Britain and Ireland, for the
year 1904 was only S591, oO0l
Or take IL by cities. The amount paid out
by tho municipal system Of Liverpool fol
1896 was 6S,8O0 The amount paid out bJ
the Boston elevated. operating the surfac,
systems Of Boston. for 1908 was SsOS,s7sl
The traflc OF the chief Berlin eompan,
Is greater By a half than that of tn,
Brooklyn Rapid Transit company. Tn,
amount paid out in 1906 by this Berlin com
pany was $66,6OO. The amount paid out b,
the Brooklyn company in 1906 was te4s, Oss 10
So l might continue the list This Is wha
accidents mean to the companies them
selves. In dollars and cents, in reduced divi
dends aud reduced salaries. One would
think that pure self-interest, If nothinI
else, would induce the companies to d,
something to stop this tremendous leak.

JOHNNIES ON THE Spot
Heroes Leap to the Front at the
Right Moment and Get

During one Of the usual breakdowns on
the Brooklyn bridge last week a train
stopped near the Manhattan terminal and
a,number of passengers tried to make their
way to the footpath by climbing out of
the windows.
Nearly all had got out safely. and did not
notice a little boy who, in the confusion,
descended to the tracks and was walking
toward the deadly third rail-.
The little fellow was within two steps
Of death when a man on the rear plat
form took in the situation.
Without a word he leaped far from the
train and fell between the child and the
rail- His body was partly on the highly
charged rail, but he hurled the boy to the
side. Then, to the Amusement Of the spec
tators, the brave man arose, and, stepping
on the third rail, vaulted into the roadway
Astonished that he had not been electro
cuted, hundreds of persons congratulated
him, but he replied carelessly;
Friends, I was in no danger whatever
In me you see Chaplain Green, the origi-
nal india rubber man. the human insu-
lator."
MY childl MY child Who. will save my
child7' shrieked a distracted mother last
night, as, returning to her home from a
meeting Of the Daughters of Ruth, she be-
held her home ablaze and her 2-year-old
daughter leaning far out of the window.
The flames were rapidly sweeping toward
the helpless little one, the snow prevented
the arrival of the ladder company and
there was apparently no way 20 reach the
window.
II will rescue the little one," shouted
Foreman WetEel, Of engine company No. q.
Ordering the engineer to shut down, Wet
eel procured a large basket, in which he
placed a few toys. The basket was
suspended over the nozzle, pressure was
turned on gradually, and slowly the stream,
mounting higher and higher, carried the
basket to the height of the window.
The babe reached out to clutch the toys
and fell into the basket; the pressure was
lowered, and as gently as an elevator the
precious burden descended to the sidewalk.
where the hysterical mother. clutching the
youngster, poured out her thanks to the
quick-witted fireman.
Nanny Marks, engineer on a small rail.
road, figured in one of the most remark
able railroad incidents on record.
His train, combination Of three freight
and one passenge' cars, was rounding q
curve near Henry Clay when Marks, glanc.
ing ahead, saw that wreckers had removed
an entire length OF rail. 1t was too late
to stop.
The engineer threw the throttle wide oper
and the train leaped forward, gaining speed
every foot until. when 1t reached tn,
break, the speed was fully thirty miles al
hour, fast time in this section.
When every car had got safely acros
the train was stopped. Marks explaine,
