and to ride in a two wheeled cart,

Latter in the year 1917 Don Dioni- sio Robles of the pueblo ot Rayon tc- gether with an expedition of 200 men started for said district with the intention of discovering the richness of these deposits. They took their departure and soon after arriving there commenced a thorough exam iration of the surrounding country They made excavations, the former excavations having in the years which had elapsed become filled by debris. Although they found de composed quartz, which is an indica- ton ofnative silver, they did not the good fortune to find large or even small pieces of silver as often proceed from the smelling furnaces, when we are running silver bars. They only found one strip of pure silver, weighing three pounds which passed to the possession of Robles. and from him to that of Lorenzo Martinez, who gave il to the author of these notes. He kept it for the Mexican museum, but before he had the pleasure of donating it, he show ed it to his friend Don Ygnacio Ger miga, who was going 10 the capital and at his desire he gave it to him to deliver there. This was done, for in the year 1885, when the author visit ed the museum at the City of Mexi- co, he there saw the same strip of sil- yer. From the preceding it is easy to be convinced that there was no doubt of the existence of these enor- nous masses of silver in {" La Arizo na," and if the expedition of which we have just spoken, did not find them, they proved nothing to the con trary, considering they were only eight days in La Arizona, when they observed large parties of Apaches surrounding them for an attack that caused them to break camp and leave very quickly. History and tradition agree in confirming the discovery of large bodies of silver in La Arizona and vicinity. It is said that the Mill tary Commander of the Presidio of Altar in 1769, gathered the silver in large masses claiming it as treas ure that appertained to the King and accounted to him for what he had done. The interested parties made reclamation but failed to obtain a favorable response, they then had re- course to the tribunal of Guadalalra, who referred it to the court at Madrid Seven years thereafter the King de- cided that tlis silFer belonged to his royal domain, and that they had only worked for his sole benefit etc

It seems from letters and articles

 published in the Mining Record of

 New York, that considerable of the

 stock of this company is held by per

 sons in the east, and they are at q

 loss to know why a mine that is yielding S40000 per month should

 not pay dividends We have made

 inquiry into the management of the

 Tiptop Co.'S affairs, and find that the

 great reason why the mine has not

 been a paying property is simply

 owing to the fact that it is a hard and

 expensive mine to work, and was in

 the beginning, under the former Superintcndents, badly handled.

 The mine is true Assure vein with perfect walls; the lead is of an aver age of thirty inches, of which prob ably not more than six inches are SC

 lected and worked at the mill, ten miles distant. The low grade ore is being saved, and will, at some future time, undoubtedly be worked To keep the mill running, 140 miners are employed and about ten men at the mill. Add to this those who pack the rock, haul the wood, do the cooking, laundry, etc, and you have at least 200 persons who receive pay from the Tiptop Company, which of itself exhausts one half of the month ly income. Thereis now to be ad- ded the expense of quicksilver, salt, chemicals, wear and tear to the machinery, the loss on bullion, ex- pense of shipment, etc, which con sumes much of the other $20,O00 per month. One year ago the mine was in debt SS0,00U, all of wLich has been paid, and there is now in.the treasury about $20,000. The mine has prop erly opened roads built and every thing put in shape so that the ex- penses can be greatly reduced and there is no reason Derceivable why the mine should not pay dividends and its stock go m to be several dollars share. Mir Webber, the present superintendent, is ackhowi- edged to be an efficient mining man and from his close attention 10 bus less we belleve the mine cannot other than prosper and become one of the best properties in Arizona, which is saying Miner

Yom Kippur or the day Of atonsment
for the Hebrews was passed In very
solemn manner in their synagogue on
Saturday, in the third story Of the Nor
row building, I'll Market street. The
services commenced at s o'clock In the
morning and continued until 6.l6 In
the evening without any intermission
except about half hour between twelve
and one o'clock.


Julius We'll, a Jewish Rabbi, was
present and explained the scriptures in
Hebrew and many devout prayers were
offered up by faithful Hebrews. There
were about fourteen Jews present, FIVE
Of whom were women who faithfully
adhered to all the rules laid down for
the observance of the day. During
the period named from six o'clock on
Friday evening until the sounding OF
the Shofar at six o'clock on Saturday
evening, no faithful Hebrew will eat a
morsel of food nor drink a drop Of
liquid, not even wet the lips with W ater.


In the Jewish calendar the day was
the tenth month of Tisharai, the seventh
month of the Jewish year. On this
day, in ancient times, the high priest
brought to the temple the sacrifice Of
atonement. Since the destruction OF
the temple the day has been celebrated
by Hebrews the world over as one for
special prayer to God.


In former times the orthodox Jews
were wont to spend the day shoeless
and clothed in their shrouds to remind
them Of death. These rigors are now
no longer carried out, but the same pray
ers are said and the same liturgy fol-
lowed. The atoning power Of prayer
to effect the forgiveness of sins Is the
chief reason for the fast, and food and
drink are prohibited in order that by
restraining the appetites the mind may
bs left free for contemplation. On Sat-
urday evening the Yom Kippur came
to an end, the shofar beiLg sounded in
the synagogues as signal that the fast
was over.
