LOST MINE Is FOUND
BY MEXICAN COWBOY

BISBEE, Oct. 10.-MeXican officials
have announced at Cananea that the
old Santa Teresa gold mine, one of the
few actually lost mines, has been re-
covered. 1t has been found near Cur
curp, Sonora, Mexico. A vaquero en-
ployed on the Curcurpi ranch, while
riding over the country, fell into hole
a few days ago. He suddenly felt the
earth give way under his horse and the
next instant he found himself and the
animal partly in hole. The cowboy
noticed ap abandoned ounce orchard
nearby.
An investigation was made today and
what was found convinces the search
ers the hole was the shaft of the
famous old mine. The existence of the
mine Is recorded in Mexico's history
and states that the Spaniards who dis
covered the deposits of gold planted
ounce orchard nearby In 1910 when
Mexico gained her independence the
natives drove the Spaniards from the
property For several years it re-
manned with the Mexicans, who were
Indians The Indians kept possession
of the mine so long that it's location
became a mystery to the Mexicans.
In descending the shaft an immense
ledge of silver ore was found. Two
skeletons were discovered at the bot
tom of the pit. The inner chambers
had been destroyed, the timbers having
been removed. which allowed the earth
to cave in. The Santa Teresa mine was
known as one of the wealthiest in Mex
ico's history. The Mexican government
is making arrangements to take charge
Of the property.

WATER FLOODS CABABI;
OLD WORKINGS TAPPED
Large Silver and Gold Deposits
Are Known to Exist in
Ancient Mine

TUCSON, Oct. 10.-Word comes from
the mine have been flooded and that
there is now 20 feet of water in the
main working shaft. This flooding Is
undoubtedly due to the tapping of some
of the old underground workings.
1t will be remembered that the
Picacho is a mine of ancient history.
Mexico is full of them, but In Arizona,
due to its great deserts and distance
from the seat of Spanish government,
there are not many of them. The most
notable one in this corner of the south
west is the famous Salero, in the south
end of the Santa Ritas.
Like the Picacho, in the Cababi
mountains, it was a silver producer,
but on startlingly massive scale.
With the fact that both were silver
producers the comparison ends. The
life of the Piacho is within the last
three score years and ten, and further
it was not worked for church revenue,
whereas the old Salero was and did
contribute its tens Of thousands to the
priestly Golfers.
1t is said of the Salero that once
upon a time a great church dignitary
en- route to Tucson from the City of
Mexico, was entertained at the Salero,
but there was no vessel on the table
in which to hold the salt. To supply
the want a piece of native silver from
the mine was beaten into the shape of
cup-hence the name Salero-salt-
cellar. From the Salero a piece of
silver was taken that weighed over
2000 pounds. 1t was found on the
surface of the ground and was too mas
sive to move. After a most herculean
task it was separated into great chunks
and packed on the backs of animals
to the City of Mexico, and was there
converted into Spanish dubloons and
pieces OF eight, of which one-tenth
went to pay Peter and Paul, and the
king of Spain is supposed to have got
what was left.
Since the days of the American oc
cupation the old mine has been various
ly worked. 1t was one of the first mines
to attract attention, the fame of the
salt bowl and ton nugget having made
1t world famous. Professor Pumpelly
and Engineer Wrightson were both
attracted to it, and both died at the
hands of the Apaches. Wrightson was
killed under the shadow of the great
rock dome which bears his name, a
monument as enduring as time itself.
Pumpelly is said to have been killed
near the old town of Tubac, and the
mine passed to other hands. The late
w. P. Black was also attracted to it,
but in common with his American pre-
decessors he made but little of it. At
the time of its first discovery the mine
was lin bonanza" and there is no
reason why 1t should not be In "bo-
nanza" again. 1t may not be nearer
than 1000 feet, perhaps deeper, and
then again 1t may be struck in 100.
Such is the hazard that must be taken.

DESERTED PROSPECTOR
REACHES CIVILIZATION
Partners Leave Man in Noun
tainS to Die and Tell a
Strange Tale

BISBEE, Oct. 10.-DomenicD Gregol
aci, the local prospector who was
thought to have been lost in the hills
after being deserted by two men who
went out into the mountains in the
Moctezuma district to see his property,
has arrived in Bisbee.
He tells a somewhat different story
from that first reported. He stated
that he went a short distance from
his camp and when he returned the
two men who were with him had dis
appeared. Not dreaming that they
had deliberately deserted him he
thought that they had met with some
misfortune and went in search of
them.
The longer he searched the more
sure be became that his former COM
panions had been killed. After trav-
cling on foot for several miles with
out food he struck across country to
Nacozarl for the purpose of securing
assistance from the officials. His long
journey across the mountains was IA
hard one, and he arrived at Nacozari
exhausted, a condition caused by lack
Of food and water for more than two
days.
At Nacozari he learned that his for
mer companions had passed through
there on the way to the United States
and that instead of anything having
happened to them they had deliberate
ly deserted him.

MOUNTAIN VIEW MINE
MAKES RICH STRIKE

BISBEE, Ariz,, Oct. 10.-A rich ore
strike Is reported from the Mountain
View property four miles north of Bis
bee, where John Corning and asso-
ciates are working under a two-year
lease. The first carload of ore taken
from the ground has been shipped to
the smelter at Douglas.
Under the former management the
tunnel on the Mountain View, which
is a stock concern. large blocks being
held by local people. was drifted in for
distance of about $50 feet with no
indication of ore rather than sparse
naturalization of the rock driven
through. When Corning and his asso-
ciates took the lease they now hold
they believed that they would have to
drift straight ahead to get the ore they
felt confident underlay the surface.
One day while walking through the
tunnel Mr.. Corning came to a point
where the formation looked good for
ore and decided to drift a few feet on
a crosscut to see whether there was
any ore or not. Within but a foot or
two of the tunnel side he encountered
the ore, the trend of which had fol-
lowed the course of the tunnel exactly,
but was separated from the working
by narrow wall of rock. No returns
have as yet been received from the ore,
which is, however. apparently rich in
copper and other metals.

Believe Subject of Conference Is
Prospective Supreme

TALKS ON N. Y. SITUATION
Former Secretary of State Says
Republicans Did the Only
Logical Thing
TALKS ON N. Y. SITUATION
Associated Press1

| BEVERLY, Mass, Oct. 10.-A con-
ference with Senator Elihu Root of
New York filled President Tafts pro-
gram today. His lame foot kept the
president off the golf links.
Senator Root was met in Boston by
Secretary Norton and the two motored
| out to Beverly. Senator Roots visit
| has caused much speculation here.
First of all. it was said his advice
might be sought by the president as to
| the prospective supreme court appoint
! ments. Senator Root has been mem
toned himself as a possibility for one
Of the vacant places on the bench.
Mr. Root cerved as chief counsel for
the United States in the fishery dispute
at The Hague and has not seen the
president since his return.
Mr. Root also is a member of the
Ballinger- -Pinchot investigating COM
mittee. He ranks with the administra-
ton majority on that committee, and
the majority has not vet submitted a
report. The political situation in New
York also undoubtedly has to do with
Senator Roots visit He acted as per-
manent chairman of the Saratoga con-
Vention.
Senator Root was asked when he ar
rived in Beverly what he thought of
the New York state situation.
1--WE have a fighting chance" was his
reply. He added that the Saratoga
convention had done the only logical
thing"
The senator expressed the opinion
that the old method of revision Of the
tariff would never be resorted to again.
The revisions of the future. in his
opinion, would be made by schedule, as
President Taft advocated.
A published report that President
Taft is going to Panama to block an
alleged scheme of capitalists to obtain
monopoly of the coal supply on the
isthmus when the canal is opened was
officially denied here today. 1t was
said the president had no information
in regard to any such scheme.

NEW PLACER STRIKE
GOES 81 TO THE CAR

NEVADA CITY, Oct. 10.-Gravel that
will average SO to 81 a car has been en-
countered in the Blue mine at Relief
hill. Operations have ceased owing to
a lack of water, but as soon as there
is a supply of water the gravel will be
washed and it's values extracted.
The company which is operating the
mine has run tunnel for a distance Of
from 300 to 400 feet and then an up
raise was put up to tap the channel
from below and the high grade gravel
encountered. Old-limers familiar with
the Blue Lead who have seen the strike
tell Superintendent Jones that he has
struck the long sought channel and
that his values will undoubtedly in
crese as the breasting progresses.

VAUDEVILLE POLITICS

Despite the large vote given Sena.
tor Dick at the recent primary the
Republican convention of Cuyahoga
county refused to endorse Dicks can
didacy for reelection.
But what difference does that make ?
Dick has the endorsement of voters
lawfully registered at the polls, and
he is the legal candidate of his par
ty for United States senator whether
the county conventions reaffirm that
endorsement or not.
1t was at Cleveland, you know, that
lot of Republicans scratched out
Dicks name and wrote in the name
of Jimmy Garfield, author of the fam
Gus "99 cents profit" report after
probing" the Chicago packers.
Then, for the sake of inconsistency
perhaps, the Republican convention
of 'Cuyahoga county expressed it's con.
iidence. in Speaker Cannon, although
the two Republican congressional
candidates in Cleveland are pledging
themselves to vote against Cannon
next time If elected.
Consistency is no longer a jewel

clans of Cuyahoga county.

cHAMeERLAlNs POPULARITY"

Down in this end of the Fourteenth
congressional district there has been
some considerable talk about the
great popularity at home of George H.,
Chamberlain, who was nominated for
congress at the recent Republican pri-
fnaries. The Republican vote through
out the district, particularly in Mr.
Chamberlain own county, does not
indicate a great degree of popularity
of that gentleman. Out of the five
counties in the district he only carried
one, and that was his own county
Lorain. A very significant thing was
also shown in the vote in Lorain coun-
ty, and that was that Chamberlains
opponent, Brown, received 1856 votes.
So that in Lorain county, where Mr..
Chamberlain lives and where he is
best known, there were just 1886 Re-
publicans, his neighbors, if you please,
who were of the opinion that he was
not the man to nominate for congress.
Such Is Chamberlain's popularity"

HoosIER CAN'T SEE STRAIGHT

Former Mayor Bookwalter of In

ing in Columbus said; "Judson Har-
mon is a good man but he is too con-
servative to be model Democrat"
How is that for joke? You must
remember that Hoosier Republican,
politician said it. And he said 1t for
publication in Republican paper to
relieve his mind of a ponderous opin.
ion regarding presidential possibili-
ties
If Mr.. Bookwalter had remained in
Ohio longer he would have found out
that his opinion of Governor Har-
man doesn't agree with the opinion of
Republican bosses in Ohio and their
vassals in the legislature and in the
sanctums of their party organs. He
surely would not think so had he been
in Ohio long enough to see Governor
Harmon in action, especially when it
came to throwing out some OF the i'm
perfect work of the legislature this
year,
Notwithstanding this Hoosier Re.

mon being too conservative to be a
model Democrat" the people of Ohio
regardless of politics agree that he is
not too conservative to be model
governor. That Is what most con.

Republicans alike, in Ohio just now.
