The results that may ensue from
being married to suffragette were re-
vealed the other day in a London

Tunnicliffe took up the cause and was
not able to spend much time at home.
When the husband demonstrated she
simply commanded her daughter to
pack her fathers gripsack and there
and then ordered him out of the house.
He went, and then the lady sued him
for desertion and demanded alimony.
But surely you did not take 1t so
feebly?" asked the magistrate Of the

FOUND THE LOST MINE

tive ores before smelling in their crude dobe fur
naces. Later he uncovered matetas all made Of
a hard flint rock, which must have been brought
into the district from a 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 on the creek upland the remains
of an old slug dump. AS is customary with the
prospeetors 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 shelters, 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 smelters also knew lot about the
use of certain chemicals in the extraction OF
metal from the ore and at this mine probably one
of those processes used in connection with
the furnace, only fragments Of the foundation OF
which were found by excavation
The finding of the stone tools has caused con

zeal turn Of mind The Spaniards were experts
In the manufacture of Steel SO that the tools were
not used by them. The supposition is that an
Indian tribe worked this mine and that this tribe
probably operated following the invasion ana oc
cupation of the Spanish adventures. It is well
known that there is a long gap between the six
teenth and eighteenth centuries where the history
Of Old Mexico and that district now including Art
zona and New Mexico is missing. probably be
cause the missionaries, finding that the crown o.
Spain robbed every mine reported, ceased to
make report of them In 1920 the Indians killed

Mexico Missouri message., 1910-05-19

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 cevtan lost
mines. The names under which they are record
ed like the names of most of the missions estab-
Ished 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, was discovered some years ago, with
its old underground workings, 1t is firmly be-
leved that Of the two lost mines had been
discovered Now 1t 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 was made by John Guilfoyle,
well-known pioneer mining prospector Of Naco-
zari When out west of Nacozari about ten miles
he came across piece of detached ore, which
he picked up and examined. He spent many days
looking over 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 ran so high that he returned
to the district and continued his search. While
using a steel in creek bottom he found rock
almost at the surface but continuing his sound
ings he suddenly struck spot where the steel
sank several feet
Guilfoyle 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 was flowing in the present creek bed
AS he progressed he found old stone implements
including stone hammers. hatchets. and nnally he
came across great ancient mateta OF stone bowl

The testimony tended to show that
Kysel is not on good terms with the

closely for Kysel to meet her surrep

There seemed only one thing to do

Kysel admitted he kissed the girl
