POSSIBLY BOWIE'S
LOST SILVER Mine
Texas Man Confident He Has
Found il in an Ancient Shaft
at Workings

NENDARD. Texas. Nov 26.--J. T.
Morgan is confident that he has re-
discovered the long-lost James Bowie
silver mine. Mr. Morgan formerly
owned the land upon which the fam
GUS mine is now believed To be To-
Gated. That he has found an ancient
shaft and working. out OF which
considerable mineral was once taken,
Is very evident, but whether IL Is the
old mine that was operated by Bowie
is not certain. Ii is known that the
Spaniards invaded this part of Texas
and opened up mines as far back as
two centuries ago.
Mr. Morgan came upon the hidden
mine by following an outcroppins
lead of silver-bearing quartz. He fol-
lowed IL for several hundred yards
and found that IL led TO n depression
in the earth. He began excavating
and soon came TO layers OF fiat rocks
which had been placed over the open
ing OF the shaft He removed the
rocks and beneath them was-fevealod
10 view a deep cavern. He explored
the hole and found that 1t was % feet
deep and l6 feet square. Upon 'he
walls were the marks made by the
implements used in mining
He collected specimens OF me
quartz and sent them TO Denver TO
be assayed. The report which ne re,
ceived from the assayer shows that
the ore contains small amount OF
silver Mr.. Morgan believes that the
main lode was either exhausted CT
the vein lost. and he is now conduct
ing an investigation with the view of
discovering the ore body.
