HAT LOST Us YEARS AGO
FOUND IN A SPANISH MINE
PADRES Headgear of Brown Felt Still
In Excellent State of Preservation.

In the famous old Cucaracha Cock
roach) mine, near Yago, Mexico, re-
Gently rediscovered, being hidden for
a century and quarter, miners are
bringing up evidences of the Spanish
padres who once owned these APP
proaches to rich veins Of gold.
One OF the discoveries, says the
Washington Post was huge felt hat
in a remarkable state of preservation.
1t resembles pictures of the headgear
worn by Friar Tuck, OF nursery fable
fame. 1t has very broad and hoppy
brim and was made of fine grade OF
thick hair felt colored brown. De
spite its burial for more than 125
years its fbers stiH are strong and
appear equal to any used in modern
hats.
The workmen have found also por-
tons OF blankets and garments, show
ing fine material and weaving. The
texture of these articles is far superior
to the crude Indian ora Mexican weave
OF the period, and that is regarded as
evidence that the owners were alien
conquerors.
The padre mine operators were driv-
ZEN out OF Mexico about 1872 and new
er permitted to return.

She loved the frontier, but from our many conversations have never been able to decide whether it was her ultimate hope of finding gold mine that took her to the ends of the earth. or whether it was her great desire to help some one, for she seemed to have knack of f nding persons in distress, and if they were broke she gave them a new start. or nursed them when they were sick. To turn away when her assistance was needed never entered her mind. It was always, How ye getting along, young feller? What can I do fer yer? Hers was a wonderful character, and God broke the mold after Nellie was made. Regardless of the circum- stances which surrounded her, whether 1t was on 8 stampede in Alaska or m the lobby of the Faitmeut, she was al ways Nellie and possessed of that won. derful personality that commanded re- spect and admiration.
 She was devout Catholic, and her love for her church. the sisters and their work was second oniy to her love for Alaska and the soureoughs.
