ably taxed by the Mexican custom
house officer of those early times
when Don Diego's find became known.
dispute arose between the officer
and the finder of the silver and the
matter was appealed to the Viceroy
of Mexico. who decided that the con-
troversy, involving as it did the larg-
est silver nugget found in the world,
was beyond his responsibility and
that it would have to be referred to
the king of Spain himself.
The king. taking the viceroy's hint,
promptly ruled that nugget weigh
ing 27O0 pounds must be regarded as
curiosity and that all natural curl
osities of great value found in the
colonies must by courtesy be regard
ed as the property of the crown
Armendi was naturally heartbroken
at this loss Of his priceless nugget 1t
Is said that he left Mexico in disgust
without revealing the precise locality
of the wonderful mine. 1t was, how
ever, known beyond doubt that the
Jumps of silver We're found in or near
the Papago settlement of "Arizonac,"
which grew to be known as the BIOL
las del PLATA" which in Spanish
means balls of plate" The old name
"Arizonac" thereupon became widely
applied to this region, and, as very
few people know, when the present
state of Arizona was carved out of
Mexico its name was directly deriv-
ed from this same Papago village
somewhere near which the abandon
ed mine of Armendi still remains UNI
developed.
The monster nugget was sent to
Mexico and coined in the mint there
for the Spanish king. Soon after the
misadventure of Don Diego the place
became abandoned and lost sight of,
and the ardor of some unskillful min
ers who attempted to recover the de-
serted wealth became cooled. The
nuggets were found on or near the
surface and encouragement doubtless
overcame the followers of Armendi
because they failed to pick up more
surface deposits. In those days they
had no facilities for deep mining.
At Piedras Azules, in the heart of
the mountains, a prospecting party
stopped one day for lunch. In search
ing for a lost knife one of the party
found a rock Weighing about two tons
from which native silver protruded
1t yielded more than $4,000 when bro
ken up and washed in the arroyo. The
prospectors went out, organized a
company with capital Of $4,000 and
returned. They prospected for months
without discovering a particle Of met
1t is believed the rock from which
the silver was obtained was carried
down by the water in the arroyo from
mining camp about As miles distant
"a solitary piece of float that cost
the prospectors dearly
But the lost mine about which ira
dition gathers thickest is Taiopa,
supposed to be located in the Sa-
huaripa district in Sonora. Little doc
umentary evidence exists to prove
Taiopa reality, and that has evil
IDENTIFY been manufactured by I'M
scrupulous manipulators. A wealthy
Mexican made a trip to Madrid sew
eral years ago, and after minute
search at great expense found abso-
lutely no data to show that such a
mine was ever worked for the crown
Mexican archives or elsewhere prove
such a mine was ever known.

The Lost Mine of Taiopa.

HC IoSt WHO VI dlOpds
But quite as trustworthy as most
written documents are the traditions
gathered from the Pima Indians.
They stoutly maintain that Taiopa
exists, and a few claim to know its
locality. Small quantities of very
rich ore are occasionally sold at the
mountain mining camps, and all at
tempts to follow the Indians to the
spot where it is found or bride them
to reveal 1t have failed. Wanting but
little in addition to the corn they
grow, they are imbued with a super
stition that If they reveal the locality
Of a mine they will instantly drop
dead.
To one unacquainted with the In
dian character this statement may
seem incredible, but any prospector
or miner in the Sierra Madre will af-
firm its truth. Large sums of money
have been offered to the Pimas to tell
where the nina tapada is. They
scorn money and the only open ses-
anne is mescal, by the liberal use of
which the Indian may be made to
disclose many things, but so far he
has held inviolate his VOW to reveal
to no mortal man the famous Taiopa.
But the fascinating secret, in part
has been revealed to a woman. All
tales of lost mines have for their CEN
trail figure a grateful Indian, and this
story is in that particular monoton-
ously like the rest. The facts so far
as known are the following:
About Is years ago an old Pima
chief fell Ill in one Of the valley
pueblos and was cured by a Mexican
woman so well known and so estim-
able that her statement was univer-
sally accepted The old Indian re-
turned to his tribe and from time to
time sent her rich bits Of ore which
assayed thousands of dollars to the
| ton. All her efforts to induce him tc
lead her to the mine were futile. He
said the great spirit would strike
him dead II he did.
Gave Indians Her Care.
The plucky sonora finally went t.
the mountains and lived among thu
Indians for three months, doctorini
the sick and giving presents OF call

small quantities of mescal to tn
men of the tribe. She became con

 LONDON, April 23.-Two de- stroyers got inside the mole at Zeebrusse and blew up the dock gate, the correspondent at Dover of the Daily Mail reports. The feat, he says, seems incredible, but there appears to be no doubt about it. Some of the men who took part in it say they saw the waters of the Bruges canal run ming out after the gate was de- stroyed and the vessels in the dock strainins at their hawsers.
 The return of a damaged Brit ish cruiser withi Is decks torn open is described in dispatches from Dover. Few of the crew escaped injury of some kind, while many bodies were brought back, and placed reverentIy in a temporary mortuary.
 The survivors were greeted with hearty cheers from excited com rades who had awaited news of the fight eagerly since they were awakened Monday midnight by the sound of heavy gun fire. While the action was in progress the tremendous explosions were violent enough to shake buildings in Dover.
 King George has teIegraphed his congratulations to Vice Admiral Reyes.

 Liberty Bonds

Today is "Rotarian Day" for the Liberty loan in Phoenix. This does not mean that members of the Rotary club are to canvass the streets and stores for Liberty bond subscribers but that all Rotarians and there arc scores of them-in their days work will think and work for the Liberty loan. They will make special effort to take themselves and others by the hand and say, "Old fellow, have you given all you can? Have you given until it hurts? Have you set aside for this prime investment in patri- otism all you can afford?"
 Rotarians today are supposed to talk Liberty bonds as we'll as think them. They are supposed in every way they can to aid in the sale of these bonds and those who know the patriotic spirit of Rotary know that this means lot of good work done for the best cause those at home can back up to help win the war,

WASHINGTON. April 23.-War on Turkey and Bulgaria was discussed today in the senate with several sen ators announcing their willingness to vote for such q declaration. No action was taken.
 The debate came up on @ resolu- ton by Senator Brandegee of Con- necticut, republican, calling on thH foreign relations committee for ac- tion on a war resolution introduced by Senator King of Utah, democrat Senator Brandegee readily accepted substitute by Senator Knox, re- publican of Pennsylvania asking Pres ident Wilson to inform the senate, if it be not possible with public interest, whether a declaration of war on Ger many's two allies by the United States is not desirable. There was no vote, senate rules requiring the matter to go over for a day, and Senator Bran oegee said tonight he would not re- new the discussion tomorrow. believ- ing publicity given the question would cause the foreign relations committee to give it early consideration.
 Is Diplomat Spy?
 Senators who spoke on the two resolutions drew attention to the fact that the Bulgarian minister in Wash. ington is enjoying his usual diplo- matic immunities and some openly charged that valuable military in formation the minister is able to ob- tain finds it's way to Berlin.
 Congress and the country, senators supporting the resolutions declared demand that Bulgaria and Turkey be openly acknowledged as enemies of the United States by reason of their alliance with Germany.

 Criticizes Secretaries
 In a long speech opposing the meas ure and asserting that the executive authority had not used properly au- thority already possessed, the Illinois senator criticized particularly Secre- taries Baker and Wilson, Postmaster General Burleson and George Creel, chairman of the committee on public information. He declared the presi- dent had surrounded himself with SO cialists and that he should scatter the bunch of economic falirs and bowling dervishcs" now in office.
 Must Eliminate Red Tape"
 Senators Ransdell of Louisiana and Nckcllar of Tennessee, democrats, spoke for the bill, urging that many de- partments are working at cross pur- poses under the present peace time system and that "red tape must be eliminated if maximum results are to be obtained. Since the president will be held responsible for success of the nations war effort, said Senator Rans- dell. he should be given the authority he thinks necessary.
 Tn an effort to hasten action, after 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon each sena- tor will be limited by agreement to 30 minutes discussion of the bill itself and to twenty minutes on each amend mcnt offered.
 Cataogs Secretary Baker
