And then there is the Princess Anastasia
Suvorina, whose father endowed the Rus
sian Theater and gave to Russia its most
stately playhouse. Her salon In Petrogrsd
was always open to those who loved the
stage and its ideals.
One of the last American guests Princess
Anastasia entertained in her salon before
the war was Robert w. Chanler. the cels
brated American artist. And the first
friend she found in New York when she
arrived here, penniless and wondering
where she was to find the dollar so neces-
sary to stranger In this country, was
this same Robert Chanler. He found her
pathetically alone and helpless.
With the little assistance that to a Rus
sian noblewoman means so much Princess
Anastasia found the way open to better
fortune than has so far favored the others
whom | have told about here; but for one
who has had her good fortune there are a
hundred who were of the Cars proudest
favorites who look to the employment
agencies with that same hope they once
looked to the Gar for friendly sign.

Those Who Hold the Mine
A Low Crew of Ruhfans

II is this mine, tabled mine of Monte
yuma, that the company referred to, made
up of financiers of world fame both of this
country and Mexico and which has been
recognized by President Obregon, is in
search of.
The brigands have been described by
rurales who seek to guard the roads as men
OF the lowest type, poems, mestizos, mu-
lGttos, criminals from the jails, a low
browed, swarthy-faced, ruffianly crew.
The mine is vaguely situated by this
same authority as in the unexplored re-
gions of the Sierre Madres Occidental, and
the nearest town to IL is Chilpancengo.
The country is wild and the wilderness is
of the. kind that comes from barrenness Of
soil. The approaches TO the mine are
dreary in the extreme.

Barrancas that the natives call bits the

inaccessibility of the place. When IL is
remembered that in mile of railroad in
Chihuahua twelve great bridges had to be

the cost of laying mile of roadway was
$1.000,O00, an idea OF what the Diaz com.

The same authoritative writer adds.
1T took the Aztecs a long time to wander
down from the north--about two centuries

seldom visited town of Casas Grandes and
the cave city of Chuhuachupa, both in Chi

When the Aztec hordes poured down

a spot In what is now the southwestern
part of the State of chihuahua, where they
built the cave city of Chuhuachupa.

south and east toward the coast, carrying
with them remnants hastily saved OF their
so-called civilization. But ere they de-

Great Statues Were Fashioned
of Most Precious Metal

Whence came the vast supply of the
precious metal which enabled the Toltecs
(craftsmen) of ancient Mexico to fashion
great statues of gold for Montezuma's tenn
pies? Gold, It is true, and silver and other
metals valuable for industry and science
are to be found in many parts of Mexico's
strange and mixed soil, but never in such
quantities as to prove the truth of these
legends.
From the first day Of the discovery of

be used up, penetrated somehow from the
lips OF the aborigine to the brain of the
Spanlard. The Indians OF the islands
pointed Columbus and his men to the
south and west when they sought to find
a trail which led to this inexhaustible
source OF wealth. These rumors, half
caught, led to the subsequent voyages of
the discoverer TO the Gold Coast OF South
America.
When Cortez conquered Mexico the same
or similar stories of vast reservoir of the
precious metal, always to the west and
south, excited the great Spaniard's cupid.

and placer deposits he could see. but
these did not account for great platforms
and gigantic pyramids wrought all of pure
gold.
Now after four centuries Of history have

accounts cropping up constantly there

Then it becomes interesting to speculate

in the most unexpected corners one STUN
bles upon the mute reminders of the
founders of the city, while on tall ridge
beyond confused mass of ruins marks an
outlying settlement full of suggestion.
The Toltecs are also believed to have
erected the great pyramids, citadel and city
OF Teotihuacan, a sacred place some twenty
seven miles north of Mexico City Thus
far only two of the large structures have
been excavated-the huge pyramid of the
Sun, almost as grandiose as the Great
Pyramid of Egypt, and the so-called Cita
del
The other large pyramid, dedicated to
the moon the Street of the Dead, and the
innumerable mounds and terraces, which
recall Monte Alban on small scale, still
onfold their mysteries under a verdant
robe of growing crops and wild plants.
Chalulu was prominently the sacred
place, and whittier pilgrims by the thou
sands tramped from the farthest corners
Of the kingdom to worship. At this place
stood the most tremendous single monu-
ment on this hemisphere, the enormous
pyramid, 1000 by 1,026 by S33 by 1000
feet square, with a platform on the sum-
nit 144 by 2O3 feet. This was erected in
honor of the air god Quetgalcaitl.
In place of this Chalulu temple the
Spaniards erected the Church of Our Lady
of Help but they failed to find the pyra-

tected with a dense tropical forest. 1t was
discovered in 17S5.

lost to all feelings of pride and honor that
once were the possession of their ancestors,
revealed this secret for a mess of pottage
with result that a party of outlaws was
made up to hunt for the long forgotten
mine. They found it.
Several generations of this original band
are known to have inhabited mysterious
part of southwestern Mexico; they have
partly died out and only a small band,
numbering, it is said, fifty outlaws, still
lives and makes a rendezvous in beautiful
valley surrounded by precipitous cliff
walls in the heart of the Sierra Madres in
the State of Chihuahua. This has long
been known and that they are in possession
of vast secret wealth.
Reports to Government officials in
Mexico City made from time to time show
that efforts on the part of the rural guards
and Federal troops to penetrate the valley
and dislodge them have always been
failures.
These bandits, among whom are said to
be some renegades who trace their lineage
back to the ancient Mayans, use a mys-
terious passage leading to the valley. Pro-
longed search by men eager for riches and
by the troops has never revealed this pas
sage and safe in their fastness the bandits
are able to operate gold placer mines of
fabulous richness.
1t Is known beyond cavil that they make
by the use OF the neighboring Tarahumare
Indians as messengers shipments of gold
to Chihuahua, where the metal is sold to
the smelters. Only few weeks ago a ship
ment valued at several thousand dollars
was intercepted.

this once mighty center The first is that
whatever other ideas of culture these as
tonishing Mayas possessed, no notion of
anything like any modern city entered
their heads. Considered from any stand
point, their city was not aligned-at least
so far as We can tell now-by any recog
nizable system of groups or along squares
or streets. Taking the location of the
water supply in the two great pools into
account, the placing of the existing struc-
lures seems highly eccentric, especially as
orientation was apparently ignored.
Here again, as at Uxmal we find one OF
the principal buildings a great nunnery.
full of cells. built apparently at three diff
ferent periods and most elaborately carved
and sculptured in much the same manner
as the one already described, with snouts,
lattices rosettes, grotesques, small mold
ings, &c This part is so rich and splendid
that one is tempted to extravaganza in
description, especially since we remember
that every single stroke of this work was
performed with nothing more efficient than
the crudest sort of stone hammers and
stone chisels, with not a single instrument
of precision, with no implements save those
Clipped out of hard stone"
Obviously these strange and wonderful
buildings have reused the widest curiosity
in those who are touched with antiquarian
madness, but the fever to know who and
what the Mayans were has not yet reached
popular crisis.
Will the expedition, whose main purpose
is to locate and file claim on the myste-
rious mine-the so-called Mountain of
Gold-which is reputed to be the basis OF
the enormous outlay of treasure spent by
the forgotten race in the building of these
monuments, a mine that has never gone
dry will the finding and bringing
back to the riches of the world of this mine
reveal other and more tremendous Maya
secrets?
