Situated but four miles from Monterey are

Monterey is the gem of the cities of north
ern Mexico Two thousiml feet above sea
lo\cl , it nestles at the base of thu SIcira
Mudcrs , in the \alloy as beautiful as the
Garden of Eden , rich inhtuo and its
, abundant wealth of tiopical fruits , lemons ,
oranges , tigs , bananas and a do/en of others
unknown to our northern climate. The
stately palm tree as straight as an anew ,
lifts its crowned head Into the blue
skies , with the dcllcato and delicious fra
grance of the cape Jasmine , one thinks ho
has entered the poi tals of the promised lind.
Anj' ono wishing to escape the rigors of our

spot on the American continent than Mon

when it must bo recognized as the greatest

Tin. .Story of the Anrlrnt Olnlm.
The Itmrlo mine is located four miles
west of the city of Salinas , about twenty
miles north of Monterey and 170 miles from
L.ired.1. It wasdlsco\ered by tno Sptnhrds
in KM ! and was worked with great profit fore
ocr a century. The opening of the mlno Is
about 1,000 foot up the stoop side of the
Sierra Madia and a wlndlngpith loids up to
It The way Is so steep that I was
somewhat woirlod when wo nrri\ed
at the opening The entrance Is only
a small tunnel lu which a man can
not stand upright. Having lighted our cau
dles we started upon our Journey into the
center of the mountains The Sp.inlurds
probibly llrst noticed the cropping on the
outside and stai ting In at that point followed
thu vein in all its tortuous windings. The
tunnel at Hist slants slightly downwards for
about ° 00 feet and then opens Into a lareo
plumber Horn this chamber U continues
on dhcctlj into the mountain for a shot t dis
tance , the tunnel at this point being so low
tint wo had to eiawl thiough It At
this point it turns almost dhcctly

position nuarlj HOOje.us ago , and Is still as

another gieat chamber , which , as near as I
could Judge by the light of our candles , was
about 701) ) feet long and -10 feet wldo and
high All along the sides of the tunnel and
the walls of Iho chambeis was immense
quantities of low grade oio.otho Spmiauls
only taking the high grade of the body of
the -vein What labor It must h.i\o been
to dig into this blue limestone lock , almost
as hard as gianltc , w 1th their crude tools , no
man can eoueeUe It scorns almost beyond
belief that they could Ime carried the ere

miners fled to the great church fol-
protection. There they were besieged - !
sieged for miny dijs , until overcome
bj staivatiou they SL-rrendeied The result
was a massacre of overj man A stone wall
about twenty feet high was built around the
spot where they woiu buried and to this daj' '
the simple natives on a certain day of the
year decorate their gi.ivo with llowcisand

lead into this Inclosuro , there being negate

kept , while the flowers which had been
pi iced theio onij'a fewdavs bcfoio , woio
fresh and beautiful. When the city was at
tacked by the Indians sixty mineis made
their escape to the mines , where thoj could
ha\o defended themselves against any num
ber of Indians , making tholr way to the
great chamber at the end of the excava
tions. They lemaincd there until they
thought the Indians had retiicd and then
believing tint it would not bo Impossible for
thorn to continue woiking the mines , thoj'
decided to take whit ere they could with
them and make their escape Aceoidlnglv
they commenced taking dow n the pillars of
almost solid silver. Before they had taken
m uij' of thorn down , the roof fell in and they
weio buiied beneath the great mass of 010 ,

cioss erected to their memory is In this
chamber which I found decorated with fresh

rulmloiiH Wealth of the Mine.
The records show that ? 11,000,000 royalty
was paid the king of Spain by the viceroy of
Mexico on this mine. The royalty demanded
was 20 per cent of the production , so that
during the tlmo the mlno was worked at
least KxV.MO.OOO worth of ere was taken out.
Hut ono Is led to , Mltivo that human nature
was the same BOO \ ears ngo us It Is today nnd

the 20 per cent rojnlty was eoniddeml
a great Injustice , I put It down
that as much ns ( .VX,000,000 ) worth of ere wai
taken out of this mlno. The ere , after being
carried by peons through the tortuous windIngs -
Ings of the tunnel to the mouth of thu mlno ,
was carried on mules down the mountains to
the rude smelters , where are now great
piles of slack at least forty feet high , which
have laid there so long that the gre it trees ,
two foot In dlamotcr , have grown through
them This slack has been essayed
