Gold Mine Lure :
for 800 Years

of the Old Tyopa mines. Murders and
violence have marked many OF theSS
efforts, and still in many har[M
breasts of this mining country
day there still stirs the spirit VIII
has prompted many-to brave the. d..
gers of starvation, thirst end death aria
the hands of Indian bands and out Z
laws in the search for gold.
Records at Capital.
Mexico City contains records OF the
old mine, and several prOspectors. one
of them Jack Dunn, accredited dis
coverer of the Warren district, have
reported seeing the ruins of the old
mine, but none ever reached there.
According to records at the Mexi-'
can capital, in the latter part of the
Seventeenth century the isolated viii
lage of Old Tyopa was raided by In
dams, who destroyed sthe town and
killed all the inhabitants except a
priest. u,
After wandering for several weeks
the priest arrived at little town
called Auga Fria, on the FaQui river,
where he was received and cared for
by Mexican family. His hardships
caused his death, but before he died
he gave the family a description and
map of the mining camp. He also
reported that the gold obtained from
several years Of mining had been
stored in an old tunnel, because Of the
| impossibility Of shipment to civiliza-
ton.
The story and map, it Is said, have
been handed down from family to
family for generations. Those who
attempted to reach the camp lost their
outfits, and many did not return. The
Indians for years menaced all pros
pectors and this condition still ex-
lists, augmented by bands Of outlaws.
Max Covita, for several years Next
can consul at Naco. is said to have
been the latest pOssessor of the
priests map.
Has Twice Seen Ruins.
He declared he twice succeeded in
* getting as far as Casa Blanca, from
(which the ruins of Old Tyopa are WIS.,
ible. and it was reported he had not
given up hopes of reaching the place
at his death several years ago.
Bert Grover, a local man, twice
started with two companions to make
the perilous journey. but was forced
back because of insufficient equip
ment, Indians and outlaws.
Some remarkable gold specimens
have been brought back from the VI
cinity of the Old Tyopa, but so faI
as known no one ever reached the
mines since the old town was de-
stroyed centuries ago.

GIVES STATE TITLE
TO MINERAL LANDS
DECISION WILL HAVE FAR
REACHING EFFECT IN OIL
PRODUCING TERRITORIES.
HIGH Tribunal Overrules Court OF
Appeals and Commissioner Of
General Land Office Regard
ing Rights Of State.

Washington.-The supreme court
on March ~ rendered far-reaching
opinion in the case of the state OF
Wyoming versus the United States,
In which the supreme court overruied
not only the circuit court of appeals,
but the secretary of the interior ana
the commissioner of the general lana
office and held that when a state
properly and completely makes lieu
selection the rights of the state can
not be overturned by a subsequent
showing that the land in question is
mineral In character The decision is
important particularly in oil produc-
ing regions.
The state of Wyoming in 1872 re-
iinquished to the government some of
its school land which had been incud-
ed In q forest reserve and In lieu Sc
lected other public land outside the
forest reserve, including the land In
volved In the suit. Notice yof the
states selection was regularly pub
gished and the state did everything re-
quired by law.
No objection was raised to the
states selection and the list was duly
approved and transmitted to the, gen.
eral land office by the local land of
flee in 1912. The list remained in the
general land office for more than
three years. Meantime, in 1914, two
years after the state made 1t selec-
iiOn, the selected land, with $4,000
acres OF other land, was temporarily
withdrawn as possible oil land and
the following year the commissioner Of
the land office declined to approve the
state list, called on the state either
to accept surface right or to show
positively that the land was still not
known or believed to be, mineral.
The state declined and insisted that
its rights should be determined as of
the time when the selection had been
made. The commissioner Of the land
office therefore Cancelled the selection
because of the oil discoveries made in
that vicinity after the states selec-
ton had been filed. The. secretary
Of the interior affirmed the ruling Of
the commissioner,
In the meantime, the state hat
LEASED this land and the land was sub
sseQuently developed by an oil com
pany under assignment. There wa
