There was QulUe force of rep resentatives in the Ingersoll-R Rand branch recently established in Ju- neau, with District Sales Manager S. G. Murray, R. w. Douglas, of the sales department, Frank Car roll, new sales manager of the Juneau branch, and D. J. Black burn, in charge of the Juneau de- pot and warehouse. All were agreed that the Juneau field looked inviting and that it was just be- ginning to open up.
 A bell was being installed on the city dock for fog signal and for fire alarm purposes as occas- ion might require. The need for fog signal had long been real ized, according to waterfront men. General Manager L. K. Kennedy, of the Jualin Mining Company, left for Jualin on the Georgia af- ter several days in Juneau.
 The regular weekly hop given by the Juneau Athletic Club in the Elks' Hall the previous night was one of the most enjoyable yet given by the organization.

into a rocky corner or squeezed into
tropical bush to let pass strings of mules
loaded with articles of merchandise and
mining supplies. One train had 5O-odd
mules in it. The first night out from
Tayoltita I slept under the thatched
shed Of ranch the men of which had
that day been hunting a calf-killing
jaguar. I was 1000 years and 10000
miles from the mechanized Industrial
ism of, say, the coalmining region Of
Pennsylvania Yet I was on the camino
real-the Kings Highway-from the
most important seaport of the Mexican
Pacific Coast to the richest mine within
its radius
\ AANY remote mines in regions too
broken to admit an airplane to
land can be reached only by the royal
road" of these mule drivers. BY them,
now that silver is once again precious,
mules loaded with bullion will once
more be guarded. Marked with count
less crosses, each telling a story of vio-
lent death, this road carries an unend-
ing pageant over its crooked length.
Every such trail is a story book.
For instance. Some 23 years ago a
conducta of mules was returning to Las
Ventanas mine, having delivered a con-
Signment of rich ore in the city of
Durango. On this return trip one mule
was loaded with several thousand dollars
in coin to pay the laborers. She was
about the middle of the string. A boy
had orders to watch her, for trouble
was expected.
In the late, misty evening, about twi-
light, at place where the trail, twisting
down into a gorge thousands of feet
deep, was exceedingly crooked, a band
of bandits leaped out, assaulting the
forward men and animals. Amid the
confusion some of the mules turned
back, among them the one loaded with
coin. The boy did not understand what
was going on. He hit the mule over the
nose with a stick to stop her. Behind
she was crowded by other mules and the
bandits. The confusion was bewildering.
The boy did not see what became of
his charge.
Not long ago this boy arriero, a ma
ture man now, was hunting on the
mountainside where the bandits had
made the assault. He shot q deer. The
deer leaped across the trail and went
tumbling down, down. Following it, the
hunter saw white heap far below the
spot where the dead deer lodged. He
made examination. There were the
bleached and scattered bones of the
mule and, yet intact the load of money.
Glad to have found what he had lost,
the man reported it to the owners of
Las Ventanas. They rewarded him with
some of the pesos and a job for life
as watchman.

or England the history Of great for

lating the old ways, they have but made
an addition. One of the richest and
most modernly conducted mines of the
country is that Of the San Luis Mining
Co. at Tay0ltita, on the western edge
of Durango. Like nearly all other great
mines of Mexico, 1t is very DID, On the
properties can yet be seen the under
ground cells wherein Zambrano con-
fined state prisoners and captive Indians
while they were extracting the wealth.
To reach this mine I rode for two
days down the Piaxtla River from its
head on the continental divide, over
looking a world as vast and broken as
the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, my
mule sometimes teetering ON boulders in
swift waters belly deep, sometimes climb
ing mountain shoulders 1000 or 1000
feet above the pinched, worming gorge
of shining waters below. On the trail
I came to the ruins OF church which
poems, working for Zambrano back in
the days of the vicerOys, built from ore
he allowed them to take out for the
priests on Sundays-So tradition says.
Then from a point on the zigzag trail
I saw far ahead and below, smoke,
buildings and white flag flying.
THAT is where the airplane comes,"
said the mozo, who drove my pack mule
with it's load of bedding and provisions.
THAT is Tayoltita."
And true it was. Here was a landing
feld-a very narrow and short landing
field, so straight that only when the
wind is right, as indicated by the flag,
can a plane land-between canyon walls
and mountain crests. The field is made
largely out of the Stag and tailings from
the milling and refining of ore. During
days past had experienced difficulty in
finding a plot of ground level enough
to make comfortable pallet upon. At
Tayoltita I found automatic refriger-
ators, electric lights and radios; electri-
fed cables bringing great pots OF ore
down from shaft openings miles away
and, in an endless circle returning them;
a vastly intricate arrangement of boil
erS, furnaces, dynamoS belts and en-
gines, nearly all of it brought hither
on mules some of the heavier parts
by gangs of men straining forward a
few hundred yards day. Each month
this system turns out $50 thousand
ounce bars of amalgamated gold and
silver, valued at $1,000 each.
A pistol shot away from the guarded
caldrons where silver is melted, the
company stables house some of the best
mules in Mexico. But the mules no
longer transport the bars. These are
carried by airplane, in about 80 minutes,
to the fortresslike warehouse in Mazat-
Ian, where steamships and railroads
come.
BY mule, however, it took me three
days to get to Mazatlan. Half of that
time I was following on down the
Piaxtla River, travelling what is said to
be the most expensively constructed
mule trail in the republic. In many
places it has been tunneled through the
rock cliffs.
If c0nductas Of silver are no longer
to be encountered on the Tayoltita trail,

call to his father. The man examined
the specimen with mounting interest.
Father and son left the goats to wander
at will while they searched for the vein
from which the sample had come. They
found it exposed. They gathered as
much ore as they could carry. The
next day Quinones took the ore to

He began at once to take out ore.
BY October l, 1888, he had taken out
more than a million pesos worth of
ore from his investment of 297. Mining

THERE are people who persistently
claim that science has changed
everything and taken all the romance
out of mining. A few months ago was
at the ancient mining camp of Tajo at
Rosario, on the Pacific Coast in South
ern Sinaloa. A great part of the town
is caving in from tunnels generations
old. Among the wreckage is what was
one of the most beautiful and richly
furnished churches on the west coast
of Mexico, and the manager Of the
mine pointed out to me with pride that
the company was re-erecting, on solid
ground, the wonderful front OF the
church, stone by stone, so that it might
be preserved as a monument. The
church dates back only to 1757; the
mine began long before that.
suppose that the story of its incep-
ton is true. I read a summary of it
in a historical pamphlet; the manager
told it to me, with emphasis on the
melting point of free silver; and a
Mexican guard, too old to do anything
but sit in the shade of a great India
laurel, supplied many details.
In 1881 the bloody and cruel Nunade
Guzman came to the mouth of the
Beluarte River and established a set
tlement named Chametla. The Span
iards of the village had cattle that in
creased and multiplied. Some of the
Chametla COWS strayed up the river.
Two vaqueros followed them. Late in
the day they found a bunch that ran
like deer. One of the vaqueros in
lodging the brush felt a limb rake the
rosary from his neck He had no time
to pick it up. He threw down his hat
for a marker, rushed on, roped the wild
animal and tied her. Meantime, the
other vaquero had roped another COW.
The rosary had been lost near the
river, and by the time the vaqueros
reached it darkness was coming on.
They decided to camp for the night.
They tied the cows to tree and built
. fire to warm their tortillas. The next
morning the vaquero who had lost the
rosary poked among the dying Goals to

RACE T|GHTENS
IN AMERICAN
LEAGUE

The American League race is
warming up with the weather,
and as result the turnstileS are
beginning to click a tune dear
to the hearts of the club owners.
Only seven games today Separ-
ate the leading Indians from the
trailing White Sox and the Chi
cago entry faces another chance
to lessen the gap this afternoon.
The White Sox, with old Sam
Jones working, stopped the In
dians yesterday, IL to S, getting
II hits off a trio of Cleveland
throwers. An eight-run uprising
in the third accounted for most
of the Sox points.
Browns Slaughter
The Browns slaughtered the
Tigers, IL to 3, allowing Andrews
to loaf along while three of his
mates, Pepper, who lives up to
his name: Cliff and Bejma hit
for the circuit.
The Cardinals widened their
lead in the National by outscor-
ing the hopeless Reds, 3 to 2, in
10 innings. frankie Frisch's
double put across the winning
run off Derringer. The Reds
lose all the close ones, but then
it's the teams with class that
win that kind.
Klein HOmerS
The Pirates got off to a three
run lead against the Cubs but
another Kein-built homer fixed
that and the Cubs went on to
win, II to 5, giving Guy Bush
his eighth victory of the season.
After trying in vain through
six attempts to lick the Giants,
the Dodgers finally made good
on the seventh try, 6 to 2. That
seven was a lucky number for
it was in the seventh inning they
fell on Hal Schumacher for all
their runs and those rabid
Dodger fans may start a move
ment to erect a statue to Ray
Benge, who turned the trick for
them.

punch, boasts of a group of

Griff has been smouldering
about the general subject of
bean-balling ever since Buddy
Myer was struck by one Of the
deliveries of Whitelaw Wyatt in
Detroit a year ago this month.
The matter was rekindled in
his mind recently when Thorn
ton Lee, of the Indians, bowled
over Cecil Travis on the last
home stay of the Griffmen, and
it was at that time he addressed
President Harridge about a uni
versal rule which would severely
penalize every pitcher guilty Of
beaning a batter.

to a batter would mean to his
family" Griff emphasized, land
think what it means to a teams

we have done last year had
Buddy Myer been permanently

goes for Cecil Travis this year.

race, Cecil is an important cog
in the machine which will do it.
