In the caae of John Bascon anil hi companion, an Englishman named uartin Hayes, their experience waa such, but It la also Interesting. In con versatlon with Mr. Basoon that gentle- versatlon with Mr. Basoon that gentle- , . , man stated the following to an fcuter- llw'aw lepurieri long .go I came up from Gu.te- m,, Wtl Btt Englishman named Mar- tin Hayes, and we had three burros I laden with goods. We prospected all the Una to Tonelado, and stopped for oue week with an Indiau at Tehu- antepec. While there we learned that In the district up to Touelado there was plenty of gold, aa another Englishman had passed through there with $8,000, which he bad panned out at a certain point somewhere In the region of San Pablo, In Oaxaca. We traced the gold ,jomj a .treama for sixty miles, and I reached as far a. San Miguel. We were very hungry by this time, having I run short of provisions, and. going across the mountains, were told that we snouia De careful, as banditti were numerous. Soon after two men met us not far from San Miguel and the both had rifles. They ordered us to halt. but I pulled a revolver and took their guns away from them and marched them on In front of us. When we ar rived at San Miguel one of them enter ed a complaint before the Jeae politico charging us with holding them up, but the Jew knew the men too well to list en to their story, and the result Is one of them Is still In jail at that place. 'When we left San Miguel we secur ed a moso to guide o- to where the Englishman referred to found his gold. but when we got there the moso would not stay, as It waa known the English man had returned and died there. We found his skeleton, with the legs and arms eaten off, and the moso, being fearful he would see the ghoet of the dead, left na to ourselves. We went across a river and camped In the ad jacent woods. Along the stream we prospected for gold, and In two weeks we found gold which went about 25 cents to the pan. We remained there about six months, and all that time we lived on monkey meat and green ba nanaa, and both, too, without salt. Just think of it! Nothing but monkeys, and occasionally a fowl or two, and not a tortilla or common hot cake. v ell, sir. my partner, Martin Hayes of London, England, died four months after from the privations suffered during that time, and I don't suppose his wife or family ever heard of it But we got some gold, all right, and monkey meat would have been all right for me, If we only had some salt Chihuahua En terprise.

The proof that such a remedy Is within the reach of ad rheumatic sufferers is found in Mr. Dalton'a own words. He says: . "I had been troubled with rheuma tism all my life, even when a boy. It attacked me in the legs, arms snd shoulders. The pain in the latter was particularly severe. I, of course took medicine for it but did not obtain permanent relief. One day about three years ago while reading a newspaper, I aaw an advertisement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and determined to give them a trial. I had taken but three boxes of the pills when the trouble, which had been my affliction from child hood, entirely disappeared. "About a year later I had another attack of rheumatism which i brought on by working in a damp place. I remembered well what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People had done for me, so I immediately purchased some, strangely enough, just three boxes sgaln cured me, and have been entirely free from rheu matism ever since. I have told a num ber of people about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and they have taken them with most bene ficial results." (Signed) W. J. DALTON.

How Tracks Ware Constructed and Tralaa K Slaty Year Aaro. Irving P. Cook, who live, near South Byron, recently repaired a barn on the old Cook homestead that was built many years ago. In taking out a gran ary, some Umber, found in It. construc tion were recognised by Mr. Cook .a part of the Orst old New York Central Kallroad roadbed that waa built to By ron, which was for a time the terminus, about sixty year. ago. These white oak .tick, were 8 by 4 inches, as sound a when first used, and were what the first .trap rail wa. nailed or .piked on. The imprint of the two-Inch Iron .trap 1. plainly seen. Mr. Cook', recollection of the early railroading I. very clear, a. the road crosses his farm. He My. tie. were first laid, and on these were placed long stringers, which were of any kind of timber that could be obtained from farmer, near by. Tbeae stringer, were hewn on the upper side, and on the under aide were notched where they crossed each tie. On those stringers and running In the same direction white oak scantlings were fastened. When the ends of the trip, of Iron met, a short piece was placed o that the ends of the rail. If they might be called that, would not In dent the wood. There were no section bosses In tbose days, and handcar, were uuknown. The Orst repair gang consisted of three men, who carried a few spikes, a chisel, an auger, a hand saw, etc. In a handled basket The few heavy tools. Ilka a crow bar, atlse and shovel, were carried on j the men's shoulders. The men worked a. they plvssed, and during the hot summer day. It was no uncommon thing for the gang to spend hours In the shntle of Mr. Cook's sugar bush, ad joining the track. Trains were Infre quent, and a rosdiuaater's pony was uu- known. Among the locomotive, first used for freight and pasaeuger service were the Louis Brooks, Whittlesey, Asa Sprague and No. 4. the last being known as the iron Engine, because uo wood waa used In Its construction ex cept In the cab. These engines had only oue drive-wheel on each side. The Orst Fourth of July after the road was con structed and In running order waa ob served by the railroad company by fir Ing a cannon from the rear platform of the last car on approaching stations The passenger cars were snort and much like the body of a stage coach Home or these passenger cars had au upper story, and from this upper deck Mr. Cook saw Martin Van Ilurvn climb down to shake bands with a crowd when be was running for the presl dency. The conductor waa then called a collector, and passed along on the out side of the cars on a runuing board that extended the entire length of the car. The putting of names on engines wss discontinued twenty flveor thirty years ago, the last to run on the western dlv son being tbe Dean ItlciViuond, which was No. 147; the Assrlah itoody, James Whitney, Jsmes II.
