THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNE 22, 1913. S B Abandoned Mines May Yet Yield Millions (Copyright 1913, by Krank a. Carpenter ) in ii KX1CO CITY Since I came to ff A a 'I . , I tain 1 I 1 u my eyes nva uccu IX v A J bulging; at the etoriea I hear ni9H of the lost treasures of Mez HftUHfid lco' The' come from old tWiaw' prospectors, from mining en gineers and from men posted as to the (Mexican mineral territory' At the Col lege of Mines, In this city, you may see gold and stiver from working's which once turnod out millions, but are now filled with water: and In the government records are notes of vast properties which have long since been abandoned. When Alex-aitder Humboldt, the great scientist, traveled aver Mexico, more than a cen tury ago, he counted 3,000 mines, and I am told that fully 3,000 of these are not now In existence. Of some the very records have been lost, and they are now -known only by tradition. Abaiwloned Mines. When Mexico got Its Independence by overthrowing the rule of Spain It entered upon an era of revolution which lasted for years. During that time some of the most profitable mines were abandoned. The water rushed In, their works wero destroyed, and for a time their very existence was blotted from the knowledge of man. There are still many old dumps and the remains of old workings, scat tered here and there, throughout the whole Mexican territory. Some of these old dumps are said to contain fortunes. j 11 usea to be that a mine had to pro duce at least $30 to the ton to be worth operating, so, that rich ore only was taken and the poor left on the side. We have In the United States mines which are now paying well at less than 5 per ton, and the cyanide and new smelting processes are bringing out tens of mil lion of dollars worth of gold and sliver that formerly went to waste. The Treasure of the Aatec. Many of the mines of the Aiteca are still to be found. When Cortez had conquered Montezuma he got him to send his taxgatherers out over the coun try to make records of the location of the best mines. They brought back an itemized list, but It Is doubtful whether It was a true one. Cortex was even less successful In his attempts to find where the Aztecs had buried their treasures. He tried to screw this information our1 of Oautemozln, the nephew of Montezuma and bis son-in-law. This prince was tor tured by fire to make him disclose the secret. He at first claimed there was no treasure, but finally said that the gold had been thrown Into the waters. Cortex then searched the lakes about Mexico City, but hlfl divers found nothing, al though they dug up a disc of pure gold as big as a cart wheel out of the garden of Ouatemozln. The treasures of Montezuma are still undiscovered. They are said to have been worth J8O,flO0,C00, and there are docu ments, In picture language, which itemize the shields, helmets, sandals and plates of solid gold, and the gold grains and dust which wero worth this great sum. One tradition locates the burial site of the treasure at Coyoacan, not far from Mexico City. What Cortes Got. There is no question as to the 'extent tt the precious metals of the times of the Aztecs. The king who preceded Monte zuma, was a miser, and he had collected . treasure which Cortex says, was rr.-V.v 1 than that possessed by any monarch of Europe, Much of this consisted ef (rains and nuggets of gold and gold uten sils and trinkets. Cortez had a great part of it melted and cant fnto Ingots. He tent one-fifth of the product to Spain, and 'among other things, a gold cannon, Which the Aztecs cast for him, and a platter of gold so big that a two-hundred pound hog could have been served upon It. 'He described how gold was sold In birds' quills, as an article of merchandise it Mbntezeuma's capital, and expatiates Upon the great beauty of the shields, hel Jnets and plates which were carved by Ihe Indians. VIA Working! Which Par Millions. Some of the best mining properties of today are old workings which have been pumped out and reopened. Take the Real flel Monte near Pachuca, In the state of Hidalgo. That mine was yielding mil lions, when we1 were fighting with King Ocorge as to the tax upon tea. It has been abandoned again and again, and It Is now owned by Americans, who within the last five yearB have made It pay lomethtng like $5,000,000 In dividends. The Iteai del Monte was owned 165 years ago by a mule driver named Ter reros. He developed the mine and be came the "Coal OH Johnnie" of his time. He loaned the King of Spain a million dollars, and presented him with several warships fully equipped. In return the king gave him a title of nobility, and he was known as the Count of Regla. You may see his bust on the front of the na tional pawnshop here In Mexico City. He gave the money to found that Insti tution. The sum was $300,000 and the aim was to beat the usurers by loaning money to the poor at a low rate of In terest. Count Regla once, asked .the king of Spain 'to come over and visit htm,, say ing that he would plate the .walls of Ills bedroom with silver and carpet the - paths upon which he walked about the place with sliver bars. Fortune Lout nnd Won, . Shortly after Count Regla's death a subterranean river burst Into the Real del Monte, and it - was under water -when Humboldt came. He described - Its possibilities and his report formed the .basis- for a mining craze In which the property was capitalized and 'of fered In England. The stock was In great demand and the five hundred dbllar shares sold as high as $80,000 each In the open market. Cornish min ers were brought over and shiploads of machinery Installed. During, the next jl m I ii',i ' ii tm III C KM IT MSjMM awl IP DuBtnj F Bailey, Sanatorium This institution la the only one In the central west with aeparato buildings situated in their own ample grounds, yet entirely dis tinct, and rendering it possible to clisslfy cases. The one building being fitted for and devoted (6 the treatment of non-contagious and non-mental diseases, no others be ing admitted; the other Rest Cot tage being designed for and dn voted to the exclusive treatment of select mental cases requiring for a time watchful care and spe cial nursing. twenty-five years twenty million dollars were spent In operating the property, and the output -was only three-fourths of that amount. The company finally went bankrupt, and the mine went Into the hands of others, who aro said to have taken something like forty million dol lars' worth " of metal out of It. The men who own It now had to pay several millions in assessments beforo they could make It again pay. but up to July, 1910, they had received $U05,0C0 In dividends. .The Wonderful Mine of Ijn. litis. The mines about. Guanajuato, which are now turning out millions, for Amer icans, originated through the discovery of the La L.uz mine, out of which more than $800,000,000 In sliver was taken. This mineral region was known to Cortex, and the La Luz mine was discovered in 1547, only fifty-five years after Colum bus made his first voyage, It was found by a company of Spanish soldiers, who made a fire on a rock to keep warm and Were amazed to find puddles of silver amid the flames. They then Investigated and found that the country about was full of silver. They began mining with Indians, carry ing the sacks of ore to the surface by means of a notched pole. Each Indian had a bag of this ore on his back and he climbed with It out of the mine. In this way hundreds of millions of dollars worth of ore was taken out. Another mine more lately, discovered right near the La Luz was the Valenolana, From 1760 to 1S87 this mine produced more thai 300,00,000 In pllver. and It was aind V rty rv ens .v. Doairtit ly Amorlcnns. Later on these mines stopped working, and became filled with water. They were then bought by American syndicates, and are now being operated with the best of mining machinery. A great electric plant has been Installed, the power for" which Is brought for more than 100 miles; and some of the old dumps are being worked over. It Is claimed there Is enough ore In the dumps to keep the smelters run ning for twelve years without going down Into the mines; and that the aver age cost of production will be less than 60 cents per ton. Among the companies now operating there are the Guanajuato Consolidated Mining and Milling com pany, the Guanajuato Development com pany, the Guanajuato Reduction and Mines company and the Guanajuato Amalgamated Gold Mines company, all belonging, to United States capitalists. The IlntnpllaH nnd l'nrrul Mines. Other mines, which have been operated for hundreds of years and which are In existence today, are In Chihuahua, Zac atecas, Sonora and elsewhere. The Da topllas mine, which Boss Shepherd re claimed, had been operated for genera tions before him, and the mines of I'arral. one of which has given .the peon mining king, Alvarado, his millions, was In a territory which was well known at the time Cojtez died. In 1600 the mines there were operated by 7,000 miners, most of whom were Indian slaves; they worked under the lash and for a' century or so sent a steady stream of silver across the ocean. The work was so hard that the Indians revenged themselves by flooding the mines, and they .remained, unused until Americans pUmped out the water. A. l'coji Mlnlnsr Kind. As to Alvarado he was bitterly poor until he made his great Btrike. He is now worth tens of millions, and there are some who put his possessions at $75,000,000. I am told that he first bought every luxury he could think of, , building a great palace, which he filled with pianos, and canary birds to such an ex tent that it was known as the house of song. He also, became cnar'tame, ana one Christmas day gave away. 100,000 silver dollars, piling the money on a truck and scattering it about among the peons of Parral. This (s the same man who once said" he would give ,'$10,000,000 to the poor of his country. He even offered to pay the national debt. Another bonanza king took out B5,000,00( ounces of silver from one mine In twelve years and then went to Europe to spend It. He lived as extravagantly as he could but left something like $60,000,000 for his heirs to fight over. Stories of Lost Mines. The extent of the mining territory here is so great that you can get traditions of lost mines from all parts of the country The mining regions are to be found In al most every state, but the principal ones are in central and western Mexico. They run from the border of the United States as far down as Oaxaca, a distance as long as from New York to Oklahoma City, and they go from there westward as far as from New York to Boston. The best mines are on the western slopes of the mountains at from a half to- a mile and a half above the sea level. Gold Is spread over a vast area of the Sierra Madre, and there are places in Sonora and elsewhere. The prospector's best chanre Is to take one of the disused workings or lost mines and follow it bark to the original vein. I am told that there Is a 11,000-acre ranch In Sonora, every square yard of which gives color to the prospector! pan. The source of this gold given by Spain to Napoleon III. Another famous Mexican pearl was of rose color. It was found about i00 years ago and was sold In Kurope for 10,000. Mexico Opnl Mine. Mexico has mines of fine stones, In cluding emerald, tn-mies. garnets and amethysts. The most profitable are those which produce turquoises and opals. The turquoises come mainly from Zacntecas, and the opals nre. found near Qurretaro. where I once stopped on my way to Mex ico City, 1 saw there hundreds of peas ants at work In tho mines. The opal velm lie In strata, scattered through a matrix so hard that dynamite Is used to dislodge It. The country Is so rich that trace of the minerals chu be seen In the stones used for building purposes. Some of the opals are stolen nnd sold by the 'workmen. Peddlers have them for sale at the stations, nnd even on the streets of Mexico City. The peddlers , wrap tho stones In blnck velvet or black paper, and when they show them It Is j under the rays of the sun, which bring out the full brilliancy of the gem at first glance. One has to be very careful In buying opals, for many of the stones are I cracked, nnd the crncks concealed by I soaking them for a night or so In olive I oil The finest stones go to Mexico City, I and some of the best are sent to Kurope and tho t'nlted States. Thoy bring all Kinus Ol p ices, ironi a low renin i" Hun dreds of dollars, according to their size, color and the brilliancy of their opalcs. cence. FRANK G. CARf-ENTER.

"We aro willing to add him to tho list." responded one of tho others, "but Is he really so generously Inclined?" "Well, I should say that he Is," was the emphatic declaration of tho first. "Dozens of tramps hammer at his back door, and I have never known him to send one away empty handed." "You don't mean it?" returned the sec ond a trifle Incredulously. "That's right," rejoined the first; "he always gives them a letter of Introduc tion to me." Philadelphia Telegraph. Pntlietlo lKnornnce. "Say, you!"" exclaimed tho Indignant hmmnhnMpr.

Some day the old ranch may bo run through the mill for tho scattering bits of flour gold it contains. In another mining region a prospecting party picked up a piece of rock weighing two tons, which was streaked with na tive silver. It was broken up and re duced, and found, to contain $1,000 worth of metal. The prospectors organized a company and searched the whole neigh borhood, finally. concluding that the great mass had .In some way been carried down stream from a mining territory forty miles distant There are a number of old Spanish mines which aro worked out .and others which cannot be located. One, of these is the Tlaopa, which the PI ma Indians claim was opce. the greatest mining prop erty of. all time, but of which the records show no existence. Wonderful stories are told of : the San Nicolas mine, in Tamaullpoe., which was abandoned at the time of the struggle for Independence. According to tradition this mine was so 'rich that tho streets of the' town were paved wlthr silver on special, occasions, and silver bullets-were cut from the ore. Ioclc Heaps .Sprinkled irlth Gold. There Is no doubt but that the old methods of mining have left fortunes in silver and gold on the dumps. Many of the mines were far away in the moun tains and transportation was so costly that only the best ore could be worked. Tho methods wero rude, tho ore being crushed ' between great stones, and tho metals taken out by the patio process. These methods are still used in some of the mines worked by tho natives. I have seen them getUng out silver by tho patio process. The ore Is first ground to a powder and mixed trith water until It forms a kind of a mud. Then a mix ture of vitriol, salt and quicksilver Is added and six or eight blindfolded mules are driven around through the mud for hours until the quicksilver has gone through every part of It As the quicksilver touches tho particles of native sliver in the ore It sucks the silver Into Itself, and, when it Is drawn off, It has the greater part of the silver and gold from the mud or crushed ore. The quicksilver Is then put into a furnace and evaporated., the silver Itself remain Ing in the furnace. As I saw the mules trotting around in these M'f vats of silver mud, 1 remarked upon their sorry appearance, and w told that only the oldest and poorest of stock were used for the purpose. The reason Is the quicksilver and vitriol rota off the hoofs, and after a year or so the animals have to be killed. Mlnlnir Thrfls. I am told that a great deal of stlyer and gold Is stolen by the Mexican miners. The average Aztec has but little idea of property rights, and he takes what he can find as a gift from God. In some of the mines the workers are searched by three different sots of men. Tho peons will conceal the metal under their arms, under their toes, In their ears, and, In fact, in overy other conceiv able place. They aro barefooted and barelegged, and In many cases work al most naked, wearing little more than a breechcloth. In some of tho old native mines they carry tho ore out upon lad ders. In many places they sort the ore before It is crushed or treated with quicksilver. Of tho 3,000 mines counted by Hum boldt In 1800, not one was worked scien tifically, and a largo part of tho Increased product of tho country today comes from the modern mining methods Introduced by the foreigners. Mexico's MlnlnK Laws, I have received many inquiries as to tho mining laws of Mexico, .Thoy ate simple and practical. Every camp has Its board which looks after tho Interests of the miners; and foreigners havo tho same rights as naUves In denouncing a claim. The ordinary mining claim U called a pertenanoia. It contains about 100 square meters or about two and one-half acres; and it can be held by taking out the proper papers and paying at the rate of six dollars, Mexican currency, for each twentyfflve claims per year. The title of the claims ore recorded In the depart ment of Fomcnto, and patents for them are Issued by the general government. Tho mining laws are moro liberal than ours and claims can be held whether worked or not, so long as the taxes are paid. Where l'enrls Are R-alsed on Farms Mexico Is now producing a goodly amount of pearls and also of precious ! stones used in the arts. The pearls como from the Gulf of California, the oysters being found on both sides of the penin sula by native divers and also being cul tivated on farms. The fishing Is under concessions from the Mexican govern ment, and one company, which has the largest pearl farm In the world, Is now employing In the harvesting season more than 1,000 hands. The oysters are planted, the eggs being placed In arti ficial channels, where the young can be protected from their natural enemies. As they "grow they are taken Into deeper water and kept In large boxes or cages and there left to develop. The harvest Is ready at the end of two years, at which time it is said that the shells ore at their best and contain the best pearls. It Is also said that the pearls disappear after that age. Three Hinds of pearls, .yellow, white, I and black, are now being .found. The yel low ones are of the least value, the white ona come next, being worth about $&) a carat, and the most valuable are the blaek pearls, which are worth $300 a carat and upward. One of the biggest pearls ever found here was three-fourths of an inch In diameter. It was taken to Paris and cold to the emperor of Austria for $10,000. A black pearl from this region valued at $3,000 went first to Madrid, and was 1 The Pianos !
