Pachnca Is the capital of the state , and lies 57 miles northeast of the Oity of Mexico. The journey can bo easily made by moans of the Yera Oruz railroad , with which P < tohuc Is connected by a tram way. Taking this trip a fovr days ago , wo were much entertained by an Icol- dent which occurred en thla tramway , but was otherwise qnltc out of the way A child entered the car with some thing care/ally concealed nuder her "roboai. " Ita outlines were these of a dog , but strange to say it pooped llko a chicken. She qnlto excited the curiosity of the travelers , which was finally satitiiad by the discovery that she held both a dog and a chicken , and pinched the chicken occasionally to give character to her bundle' . It scorns the price oxaatcd for dogs brought on the tramway , who are charged for as passengers , la qnlto be yond the pnrso of the poor , exceeding the fare for human travel , while there la no charge for chickens , and BO it was that the little girl had recourse to suoh an Ingenious piece of smuggling Aa the tramway approaches Paohuca the mountains seem to draw near , ono of them having on Ita summit a stone formation , which , in the distance , beara a striking resemblance to a huge cathedral with domes and towers. It is in the region of this grand ca thedral that aomo of the. richest ores are found. It Is obvious the ADVANTAGE OP THIS BKOION over other districts In Mexico , being thus easily connected with the great capital and having easy access to the coast. That miners have availed themselves of this advantage is ohown by the Hot of mines : Pachnca works 154 , Real del Monte 76 , 1 Ohlco 24 , Santa Rosa 13 a total of 2G7. The powetful "Raal del Monte Mining Cjmpany" woiks 77 of these. Real del Monte lies to the northeast ol Paohuoa , El Ohlco to the north , one Santa Rjta to the northwest. From the tlmo of the oonqaost np to the present date it is estimated thai these four districts have yielded $1,000,000 out of 54,000,000 , the total amount extracted from the mines o Mexico. The Azteca , before the con quest , oought silver In these regions and t > f ter the subjugation Innnmerabli Spanish minors dug holes in the monn tains , cz'racting what ere they conk before their woika were obstructed Ij water , when they abandoned them to dig other holes. The sliver waa ob tained by smelting by the early miners hut it was in 1557 a Spaniard named Birtholomo do Medina discovered , in Paohuca , the process of amalgamation with meioary. His discovery is the basis of - THE "PATIO" PKCCE88 , which in the system most in nso in Mexico , having been found , so far , the cheapest and possibly the best adapted to the country. The ere when brought from the mine in cracked into small pieces and assorted according to its richness by hands employed for the purpose ; it is then put in sacks and carried by mules to an "hacienda do boneficlo Hero it Is ground to a fine powder by being crushed between hnpo revolving stones , turned by hone power. Those grinding stones are called "arrastroe. " When the ere is sufficiently fane it Is mixed with mercury and salt by means of mules tramping through it an aver- gao period of ten eaja The mass is then washed , the refuse passing off with the water , the amalgnm sinking to the bottom. This washing ia done in Pac hnca by men who steady themselves with ropes hanging from the roof cf a shed , and walk backward and forward in the "torta. " As the water is al lowed to pats off it runs through a narrow channel , the bottom of wh'oh ' is laid in ridges , la this channel llttlo boys shtffla their feet about , detaining in the ridges any porMon of the metal that may pass elf , Tao boys earn 25 cents a day for this work. For the most putt these workers looked chilled and unhealthy , splashing around in the muddy water. lu Guanajuato tbo washing ia done by means of huge atones revolved in the water. When the water passes en tirely off from the world the nativee nftou obtain from it qnlto a large quantity of silver. Many of them are at this work all day in too waste watoi aait leaves the "bunehoio. " The pro cess cf separating the silver from the mercury La simple and well known. It P ohuoa there are seven redaction works , most of them on this system Thereis but nno "pan" mill BO fai established. Foreigners era at present trying to introduce Improved mothodi and machinery. Thla , when nccom pUaliod , will ba of great oorvloe , ai ores not yielding moro than $30 a toi are not considered worth working b ; the present process. Great quantltle of those depreciated ores lie outsldi the mines waiting homo lees expenalvi method. Minors not owning thol own works can have their metal re dnced at the "bonoficlos" at $20 o $22 a ton , with a charge added for thi loss of mercury , which is about 10 pe cent of the quantity nsed TIIE IMMKNBK WEALTH of theao regions was proved by oni Pedro Joao Bornoro do Torroros , i Spaniard , in 1739. II n havinj acquired n fortune in Qaorotaro started for hlo natlvo Spain , but 01 bis way ho stopped to look into thi mints of this region. lie beoaino si much interested that ho soon put inti them his entire fortune. In thla hi was assisted by Bastamonto , a friend who joined his enterprise. Whoi their capital WAS exhausted , notbinj daunted , BuUamento returned t < Qaorotaro to raise funds and Torroro went for a like purpose to the City o Mexico. Bustamonto failed , bu Terroros returned to his mines to b mlmburied , when finally ho brongh out of thorn $11,000,000 and the tltlo ot Oondo do Sta Maiia do lleg'.a Uttgla being the iiatno of ono of his mltics.

The hoisting apparatus U often moved tn the mines by hone power. The machine is called a "malacatr. " In the roeion of Santa Gortudls , San Podto , Roiailo , Gnatomotzln , etc , ores vary from $20 to $300 per ton , oven running as high as $500. The ere found in the region of Santa Rosa contain qutto a percentage of gold , selected ores having assayed 515 20 gold , $103.50 silver pur ton rom Oheya Santa selected ere has as- ij'od up to $350 par ton of kllvor. Paohuca has a population of 25COO , , hlch is ; INCREASING IUHDLY y the incoming of minors , drawn lither by mines lu bonanza. A con- dorablo part of the population Is made up of Cornlshmen , who are for 10 moat part the tklllud laborers iu 10 mines Thpy make $3 per head o ay , whllo Mexican skilled labor can uly claim $1 a day and common labor Ti csntr.

The Rjal del ifoute mining company pays ns much s $30,000 a week to miner * , and it la stimatod that as much as $75 000 is aid out by the four mining alsttlcta ogethor. Of all objects of interest in Pachnca net its vicinity there is nothing so oautlful as the road from Pa- huca to EL OHICO. A narrow bridle path runs over the mountains fifteen mile * . The monn- ales themselves from their very eight lend a grandenr to the sooue. "or some distance they are crowned 1th huge perpendicular rooks , which re called the "Fralles , " perhaps bo- anao they look so stern and grave. ) no points a great stone finger up to eaven. At ono spot is passed n reat rock projecting from the monn- aln side nndor which twenty persons ould find a shelter if not made nerv- ns by its curious poise ; but this and thor great bowlders that the stone monks have rolled down from above , com to have stopped a moment grown into contuiisi ) In their downward - ward course. Another mountain with a rocky crown has on its summit a ingo atone eye to which the heavens fjlvo n blue pupil. Still another bears in its crest a solitary tree /or which ho birds of the air muat have sown aced cod locg years ego. At the mos loantlful point in the road two huge moss-covered bowlders meet In a ) und , nnd above them two others Over theeo moesy stops from opposite dlrectioDB two laughing streams como ducclng ; they tnko the fall togothcr , and clash down the ravine , jumping mesa grown trees that 'all ' acroja the way. and curvlug great round nooks encased in tnoss and dotted with anamoncs. jlho trees around have a hidden ambition for thlp masts , or preat beams in the mines , they stand so tall and straight , holding their Loads high oven on the edge of a rsvine , never diigning to stoop forward or bend in their dignity. Hero and there a red crots is thrown out against the green , m&rklng the kilometers of the way , and redeeming the pass from s devil's haunt. This region Is so high It cover knowa the drouth and patched aspect ot the dusty , dry season ; it is always on emerald , ono of Mexico's jewels without - out price. The road from Santa Rosa to El Ohico is isHUGO HUGO ED AMD 1'ICTUllESQUE , but lacks the verdant freshness of that of El Ohloo. It was on this road we travelers sought shelter in a "pal- querla , " "El Angel. " It was rather surprising to find ourselves sitting on "The Angel's" bar. It is wonderful with what rapidity the rain creates mountain torrent * ; an hour will servo to convert a pebbly pith over which one has walked Into a hoaree , raging stream , defying a passage. Oa this occasion El Ohico , as tbo clouds lifted , was as pretty as a picture. It differs from other Mexican villages In having peaked thatched roofs , and with Itn pointed caps nestled igtinBt the mountain unusually attractive to the traveler's eye. Iu every direction when crossing the mountains can be seen the tall red chimneys of the mines.

DALLAS , TJX. , Aptll 15 The fol lowing telagram has been received from Williams Ranch , Brown county , dated the 14th : About 2 o'clock this morning a ponderous meteor foil from the heavens upon the outskirts of thla town , killing eovcral head of cattle and completely destroying the dwelling houao of Martinez Uaria , a Mexican hordemau , who with his family , con * elating of a wife and live children , were burled beneath this monster motoor. The greatest consternation prevails hero over this singular phon omouon , the shook from which may bo compared to the shock of an earth qnako , and ita descent resembling nu IMMENSE lliLL OF FIUK. In shape it resembles somewhat the court house at Fort Worth , and is still hot and atcamlng , It la imbedded in the earth probably 200 foot , and towers above the surface of the earth about seventy feet and will cover about ono aero of ground. The con- cueilou was terrific. Nearly over ; window in town WAS shattered to atoms. People were hnrlod violently from their beds onto the floor. Goods in the storehouses were thrown from the shelves , and everything was thrown into. A STATE OF 01IA01 AND OJNKUMON. No lives were lost as far as known ex cept the Mexican hardamau and his family , although several buildings fell to the ground and the cattle fled in terror in every direction. The air was filled with a sulphurous gas , and the wildcat confusion prevailed , aa it waa a long time before anybody oould even conjecture what it wn . This is undoubtedly ono of the largest mo- tooiihtt hii ovar f Allen in Texas , and it haa aleady been visited by imny people , and will doubtlota ojnllone * to attract great attention for months to eomo.
