made so as to take third track later,
as the company plans to extend its line
farther to connect with the Parral-
Santa Barbara branch of the National
Railways.
The San Francisco del Orc is one Of
the best developed properties in north

There is a large amount os ore al
ready on the dumps in this district
that could be treated ar a profit at
Fundicion, but is not rich enough to
stand the haul to the states.
oliver Roberts, a prominent mining
engineer of San Francisco, has been in
this district for the past two weeks ex-
aiming copper properties for eastern
capitalists. Mr.. Roberts has had wide
experience in the mining districts of
the world, including South America
and Alaska, and thinks this the most
highly mineralized section that he has
seen, and predicts a bright future fo-

OLD BOWIE MINE
IS DISCOVERED?
A Depresson Near Brady
Leads Into Abandoned
Shaft Tools Found.

Brady. Texas, May pa. L. Morgan
has uncovered what he believes TO be
the famous Bowie mine on his ranch
near Menardville. where on a hillside
he found a peculiar depression leading
into a cave or shaft, which had oeen
carefully covered up on some FORMER
occasion. Cleaning il out distance OF
80 feet deep and 80 feet Literally II
showed what was originally natural
fissure that had been worked out arti-
ficiaIly. Ancient bones and a glass
globe were found at the bottom OF the
shaft.
W. H. Withers has opened UP similar
shaft a few hundred yards distant, IN
which were found eight human pkeI-
etons These shafts are three miles from
the old dam and furnace on San Saba
river, which have been one of the
curious sights of Menardville since its
first establishment.
Grubstaked In San Antonio.
History records that during the Span
ish occupancy of Texas in the Eigh-
teenth century there were rich silver
mines in the vicinity. But the hostility
of the Indians was such as to compel
their abandonment soon after the Mexi-
can independence. In 1885 James Bowie
fitted out a party in San Antonio to re-
open these mines. His famous fight
with the Indians in what IS now McCul-
loch county, and his agreement with the
Indian chief to abandon the search for
the mine and be unmOlested if he re-
turned home, is an incident in Texas
history Since then many have sought
for the so-calIed old Bowie mines, but
in vain. The old furnace where the
ores were smelted and the old Spanish
dam, old mining tools. and an old can
non used for defense of the camp have
been found near the river, all pointing
strongly to proximity of the old mines
and lending FEASIBILITY to the Morgan
discovery.
