Santa Rosa , In the state of Hldnlgo ,
ftro among the richest mining districts
lu the republic of Mexico. 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

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

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

The machine is called a "malacatr. "
In the roeion of Santa Gortudls , San

ores vary from $20 to $300 per ton ,

Of all objects of interest in Pachnca
net its vicinity there is nothing so
oautlful as the road from Pa-

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. Great excitement provalli , not
only hero , but all over the surround
ing country , in oonnquenco of this
singular phenomenon.

and added that there wasn't a single

"Oh , yon certainly misunderstood

' 'I'll do It. Glvo your money to that

"Boy , run up town and get change

"Yoi , sab , " was the reply , an the
youth hurried out.
In about fifteen minutes ho return

returned the bill and said :
