LOST MINES OF MEXICO.
Attempts Made to Locate Some of
Them Have Utterly Failed.

1t seems not to he generally known
producing mines in the days of
Spnish rule in Mexico are lost,
and all attempts, so far, have failed
to locate them. When the Mexicans
under the leadership of Juares and
Hidalgo, the priest, gained their lib
erty and shook off the Spanish yoke
they mercilesslt drove every Span
lard out of the country who had es-
capped the worse fate of assassination
So intoxicated were the conquerors
with victory that hundreds of Span
iards persisted in their homes and
places of business. The owners of the
large mines seeing what was com
ing, buried their treasures consist
ing of gold and silver bullion, and
much money, covered their tracks
as best they could and fled the coun-
try. The mines were filled up, all
traces of work obliterated, every YES
tase of machinery, what little they
had, was removed, the laborers to
prevent their revealing the where
abouts of the treasures and mines,
were put to death So completely
though their names are remembered,
and, in a general way, their where
abouts known, nc trace has ever
been found of them. From lost
mine called Las Naraujes, it is said
that the Spaniards took shiploads of
gold to Spain, but all traces of that
wonderful mine is lost today altho
it has been, and is still being, search
ed for. Another mine known as Juego
de Barras is lost. 1t was fabulously
rich and many millions of dollars
were taken out of it, Many others
might be named
Sometimes, however, an old mine
is rediscovered. Recently the Jus
Marie has been reclaimed. A large
rock was rolled against the mouth
of the tunnel and covered with dirt.
A Mr.. Venerable, who is an American
and well known to the writer, sue
ceeded in unearthing the mouth of
said tunnel only a few months ago.
So long had this tunnel been hidden
that large trees two feet in diameter
had grown on the dirt that concealed
it. This mine is now valued at, or
near, one million dollars. Some of
the old mines are not so hard to
find, and many places in the noun
tains show signs of old workings
The San Demus mine, on the Basis
river, is an old abandoned mine out
of which millions and millions were
taken. 1t has recently been exploited
and thought it not worked at this
time, it is valued at one half million
dollars.

and the superstitions clustering
around hem are often interesting
and amusing. For instance it is said
that no man or men who have gone
into a certain cove or canon to look
for the Narauial has ever been
known to return, and as result
such thing as getting a guide for
such an expedition is next to impos-
Basis known as the Box Canon by
Americans. 1t is miles long through
which the Basis river runs, that has
perpendicular walls thousands of
feet high and no side outlet Tradi-
ton, or superstition has it, thatthis
canon is inhabited by a monster
large enough to devour an army and
has blazing eyes that light up this
canon before him at night, and that
to go into the canon. Mr. Frank Roby
Notwithstanding the tradition
took small boat and started down
the river intending to go through the
canon and though he was met by the
natives and entreated not to go, and
warned and prayed for, he made
the trip without being devoured or
seeing the monster He is now re-
garded as saint-by the natives
Many of these old mines were
worked by the Aztecs and Toltecs
long before the Spaniards' day.
Ruins of their old cities and works
are still to be seen in many places.
Old bridges, aqueducts and buildings
in some places remain in a fair state
of preservation. One bridge is being
used in Durango that was built by,
no one knows whom or when, and it
Is still IN good condition. These Toll
tees or Azecs had a means Of NOV
ing great stones that battle us to-
day, stones as large as freight car
being found in some OF the old pre-
historic ruins. Their architecture is
still matter of admiration they be-
ing especially partial to the arch.
The old mines once worked by them
show skill that, considering our
modern machinery and methods, is
unsurpassed today. Upon the whole,
Mexico is an interesting and wonder
full country even apart from its min
erals and mines.
Some of the recently opened
mines are rivals of richness with the
old Spanish claims. The Promontor-
10, located at the northern end of
the Sierra San Francisco de Coneto,
has, in the last fifteen years, netted
over twenty million dollars and is
expected to net two million dollars
a year from now on. The Promontor-
10 is situated but twelve miles from
the Rincon de Juarez. a gold mine

PLACE FOR Il BUNGALOW.
Picturesque Summer Home Sites at
.ShOreham Drazc Ne1C Workers.

For those seeking a picturesque bungalow or
summer home site convenient to New York City,
Shoreham on the North Shore of Long Island, east
Port jefferson. offers exceptional advantages. 1t
a beautifully wooded elevation a short distance
from the express station of the Long Island Rail
road. Many New Workers and others have recog-
nized the natural advantages of ShOreham and
have purchased tracts varying in size from one TO
ten acres. In the last years colony of bunga-
lows has grown up at Shoreham in the midst of
the birches the oaks and the chestnut trees.
The many advantages of the North Shore of Long
Island seem to have centred at Shoreham. High,
rolling hills and sunlit valleys make it natural
garden spot. From the hilltops may be had iu-
spring the long stretches of beach and
bathing and fishing within walking distance Of
the tract
The natural advantages and beauties of ShOreham
were first recognized by H. j. HapgOod, of No 3O9
Broadway He developed the tract and built most
of the bungalows the property. The style
of architecture employed is entirely in harmony
with the surrounding country. These houses were
built with eye to comfort and graceful design.
Most of them of a rambling style of architect
ure, with group of rooms the ground floor and
broad verandas of rustic design. The long F'rencn
windows the firepiaces make them
doubly attractive.

At BEAUTIFUL MALBA.
This Large Shore Tract Is 4Auring
to HOmcseckers.

Realty experts say that investors should not
overlook operations involving shore fronts, espe-
cially within the limits of greater New York, as
the value of such properties will undoubtedly in
crease and be firmly maintained, though there
should be temporary stagnation or even retrogres-
sion elsewhere in values.
In choosing location for a suburban residence
these facts should be borne in mind and If pos
sibie a choice should be made of residential plot
having shore front. or as close as possible there
to. Special should be used in selecting loca
ton which lies high enough to be heaithfui, to
have if possible, beautiful view, and, if the
residence be required for summer purposes only
to have a choice of both land and water transit
service Locations having all these advantages

more than two hundred houses have been erected

At Hastfngs-on-H Hudson and Dobbs Ferry build

with new houses The types Of these houses are
exceptionally good. and the general tendency OF
the building operations is toward high class. de-

One of the best developed tracts in this section
is River View Manor. is located at Hastings-on-
Hudson Plans are being considered for erecting
thirty more houses at that fine tract, and as a
result Of sales made there in the last three weeks
it is likely that least twelve other houses will
soon be erected Every person who buys a lot
at River View Manor does with the intention OF
building a home and the construction Of plans
and specifications go hand in hand with the pUr-

district the large volume of money avaiable for

themselves at home. The bungalow became the
