Bishop, Cal.--Prospectors through
out the southern camps Of Arizona,
New Mexico and Old Mexico tell Of
the Lost Padre mine, from which the
mission fathers of Spain, more than
200 years ago, mined quantities of rich
silver ore with which they enriched
the Golfers of their church, sending
shipment after shipment of silver by
way of Vera Cruz back to their native
country. Legend had this mine locat-
ed in various places, in New Mexico,
In Arizona and in Old Mexico; but the
best authenticated stories fixed the To-
cation of this long-lost mine some
where In the southeastern part OF
New Mexico, and 1t was there where a
cowboy, on a long chase after q
wounded buck. discovered the ancient
workings II years ago.
In the very heart Of the San An
dreas mountains this cowboy came
upon abandoned workings, which upon
inspection proved the very extensive

In his days mountains were not al
ways the safest place for white man,
warlike and hostile Apaches stin
claiming this part of the country for
their own.
The records of the Lost Padre mine
are yet to be found in the churches OF
| the mission padres In Mexico. How
long this mine was worked by the
padres is not known, but the records
speak of the hostile Indians, and how
they succeeded, after many attempts
to drive the fathers back from those
mountains, until time wiped out ali
trails; those padres who knew the 10
cation Of the mine died. and only the
legend remained of a once rich prop
erty.
The American cowboy relocated the
old workings every year, hoping te
