For years and years the prospectors in Sonora,
Mexico, have been searching for the second OF
what has been recorded In history as the twin
lost mines" In certain old records of the early
missions mention is made Of two certain lost
mines. The names under which they are record
ed, like the names of most of the missions estab-
lished under the Spanish crown. do not CORE
spond with any known landmarks today and
hence only relative location can be used as
basis for exploration.
When the San Pedro mine, located south OF
Nacozari. discovered some years ago. with
its old underground workings, 1t Is firmly be-
lieved that Of the two lost mines had been
discovered. Now it seems probable that the sec
ond also has been located and In the belt indi-
Gated in the ancient documents. Even II the
second of the famous lost mines has not been
discovered an antigua mine of great age has been
found. with proofs enough to indicate that 1t has
not been worked for many years.
The discovery made by John Gufoyle.
well-known pioneer mining prospector of Naco-
zari When out west of Nacozar about ten miles
he came across piece of detached ore. which
he picked up and examined. He spent many days
looking the neighboring lodges in the hope
of coming across the mother lode. But his search
was in vain. Meantime he brought in the speci-
men of ore and was surprised to find that 1t ran
1870 ounces of silver to the ton. with good values
In gold This assay high that he returned
to the district and continued his search. While
using steel In creek bottom he found rock
almost at the surface. but continuing his sound
ings he suddenly struck a spot where the steel
sank several feet
Gufoyle knew that the rock formation could
not have ended SO abruptly and he began to ex-
cavate. He uncovered long cut In the solid
rock OF the creek bed which held down stream
and which could not have been cut there when
the water flowing in the present creek bed
AS he progressed he found old stone Implements
including stone hammers, hatchets and finally he
came across great ancient mateta or stone bowl

tive ores before smelling in their crude dobe fur
naces. Later he uncovered matetas. all made of
hard flint rock, which must have been brought
into the district from considerable distance, as
there is no flint of this hardness near the mine.
After pursuing his work for several days. the drift
in the rock led into the ore ledge, but the old
workings were found to be closed up solid with
silt.
Guilfoyle pursued his Investigation and found
under the soil the creek upland the remains
of an old Stag dump. AS is customary with the
prospectors in Sonora. Guilfoyle at once had this
Stag assayed On account of the primitive meth
DDS of smelling employed by the ancient work
men the Stag found on these old dumps is usually
rich enough to be worked over again in the mod
ern smelters which leave nothing of value in the
Stag but, strange to note. in this case the Stag
was found to be absolutely worthless. indicating
that at this mine the pulverizing of the ore had
assisted in the extraction Of the metal values
The antique smeters also knew lot about the
use of certain chemicals in the extraction of
metal from the and at this mine probably one
of those processes used in connection with
the furnace, only fragments Of the foundation OF
which found by excavation.
The finding of the stone tools has caused con
siderable interest among those of archaeolog
ical turn of mind The Spaniards were experts
In the manufacture of steel, that the tools
not used by them. The supposition is that an
Indian tribe worked this mine and that this tribe
probably operated following the invasion and oc
cupation of the Spanish adventures. 1t is well
known that there is long gap between the six
teenth and eighteenth centuries where the history
of Old Mexico ana that district including Ari-
and New Mexico is missing probably be-
cause the missionaries. finding that the crown of
Spain robbed every mine reported. ceased to
make report of them. in 1920 the Indians killed
all the mine workers In Sonora and Arizona and
many mines abandoned at that time have been
lost to the world. Sonora has many mines which
on opening, found to be antiguas and many Of
them very rich.

new rules and regulations in detail that are most
appropriate for the needs and growth of the In

the desire he has to correct such defects as his
experience of nearly five years has shown him
exist, these regulations will undoubtedly be ap'

Saving Wayward Boys.
Continued from first page)

and perhaps the commercial course
in the school room; but in that farm,
with a man who loves aud knows the
work and who has deep and abiding
love in isheart for the boys, at the
head of the department, [ can see
visions in transformation of charac-
acter and the coming out from thence
to bless the earth, young men that
are close to nature.
One reason so many boys go wrong
in the cities and towns is because
they see too much of the artificial as
against the natural. The boy on the
farm, with proper surroundings, and
who mingles with the plants and
flowers, and sees the innocence of
birds and animals. learns to love and
associate with such seldom goes to
the bad; and l see visions of new
awakenings in life and character of
these Wayward ones, as they becOme
a part of the school and farm for
making men, as they get into the
workings and learn that by tilling
the soil with intelligence, it yields
man q fortune as we'll as freedom
from the annoyance of crowded con-
ditions, and makes him a better
man, at heart, than herOuld possibly
be anywhere else on the earth. Most
of those who will 20 to the Stonewall
Jackson School will come from the
towns and cities where they know
nothing, in a manner, of the natural,
and to my mind | can conceive of
nothing that will so transform the
evil tendency of such as to put him
down where there are COWS and pigs,
and hor-es, and sheep, and chickens,
and goats on a finely kept farm,
where the boy can commune with
nature at its best, while being taught
the duties of life and educated.in in
dustry and the needed fundamentals
to build upon.
Can you conceive of a greater work
for a man to engage in? Such work
must have the very same blessing of
the Almighty as that which comes
to the preaching of His Word. This
is what these leaders of thought have
been trying to impress upon thepub-
lie conscience all these years. This is
no "pipe dream" Every line of it is
possible, practical, and | have not
half stated the results that must be
plain to every soul that is not too
narrow to feel.
But StOnewall Jackson Training
and Industrial School should and
must be one of several in our beloved
State. 1t alone cannot possibly ac-
cOmmodate all that will want to be
handled under an awakened public
conscience. The saving of boys from
crime calls for the best that wealth and
the State can give. 1t is far cheaper
to save the boy than to guard him
as a criminal all the rest of his life,
not to mention that every good citi-
zen is an asset to the Comm
Have | pointed you to something
YOU had not seen or thought Of? If |
have | have not written in vain.
Here is work for many with means
and time; work for some who are
hungry for child love and thankful
ness. Try helping the needy and
helpless; not to be fed alone, but to
be clothed and educated and made
into men and women to bless the
earth for having lived in it.
