THE OlAfATURSE-CRAB.
D Climbs Cocoan at Trees and Cracks the
-Nuts Against Stenesv-.'
In the mining bureau jnay beseen a
very -rme specimen ot Tiie "remarkable
large land crab known as the purse crab,
pr.Birgus latrp,. which -is well preserved
in a glass jar. This t -i one of the largest
species of . land crab Kuown. It is some
times ' found from 18 to 24 inches in
length when fully stretched out. and is
capable of erecting itself to the height
of nearly a foot from the ground, which
it'readily does if irritated, retreating and
exhibiting to the utmost its powers o'f
-offense and -defense.
It is somewhat allied to the hermit
crab, but t having, the abdomen or tail
shorter,; yet very large: on thd under side
of which it carries its eggs in immense
quantities, its under side is soft and
membranous, it, upper surface covered
with i strong 'plates, which j overlap; One
an6ther as in:lobsteref The first pair of
legs have large and powerful pincers;
the second; and third .pairs of lees are
terminated by a single nail; the pair next
to them are a little smaller, with small
pincersr"theparrtof legs' nearest to the
abdomen are very small, but terminated
by rudimentary pincers. c .'
?. Wben teased-this crab is so powerful
in,'its mclawl andJegs as to be able to
cling to a stick, and can hold its own
weight to be carried for over a half hour
before letting go,-1- It cantraver about as
fast backward- as forward if pursued. It
is generally of a yellowish brown color,,
its Jimbavbeingrbowever, covered with.
-little blackish pro ections.
V- It is nvver-found far from the sea, to
which it is said to pay visits in. order to
moisten its gills', but it always resides on
land, and is. generally found in holes un
der the roots of trees, especially of cocoa-
nut trees, which it prefers, and where it
accumulates great quantities of the fibers
of the coooanut husks, as if to keep itself
warm, or for a -soft bed, , As a general
-thing the purse crab stays in. these! holes
during the daytime and -comes but at
jught.-.
' Its food generally consists of cocoa
nuts, also the nuts of a species of palm
known'- as- Pandanus odorotismns, and
other nuts,, which it climbs the trees to.
procure, cutting the cocoanut Sxova the
tree with its heavy "claws," and after it
has cat downtwo; dr three it descends
and commences to pull the husk from
them.,. -,-f.f . : rr r I
In its maimer of dealing with cocoa
nuts it exhibits a remarkable instinct, as
it always begins to -tear off the husk at
the end '-where the eyee-are. It then
makes, a jbole .through the eye from,
which the nut would germinate.1 This
is done by trikin the fruit -witli its
heavy claw and breaking it sufficiently 1
to aomit one.of the small legs, by which
it scoops out; the nut with its small,,' pin

DISCOVERY
BY
OF BREYFOGLE'8 MINE
A PROSPECTOR.
Many Lives Bin Been Ixst In the Search
for the Historic Treasure Oold IiFoniid
'- There on the Surface In Umpi Uke
- Plnmi In a Padding.
There is not a miner or old settler in
the southern part of California who is
not familiar with the story of the famous
Breyfogle mine. It ranks with the Gun
sight, the Pegleg and the Lost Cabin
legends. , Like them; it has cost dozens
of lives, and bo unsuccessful and fatal
have, been the many expeditions made
m search of the mine that it has come
. to be regarded by many as a myth. '. -
Briefly, for the information of those
who have never heard the tale, the story
goes that away back in the early fifties
a party in which, was a man named
1 Breyfogle, set out for .California by way
of the southern Utah road, a route which
, lay through .the . southern portions of
Utah and -Nevada, skirted Death valley,
traversed the. Mojave. desert and, finally
terminated. in either the San Bernardino
or Los Angeles valley,.,' . ,
'(, Breyfogle; was .something of a miner
m his. .way, and whil . .prospecting in a
wild and forbidding region. he found a
place where. heconld literally dig. great
nuggets -of gold out of the decomposed
iquartz or cement,- as he . called it, with
his - knife. As . he .described - the place.
k there 'was a large deposit of ).an exceed
ingly ncb-character enough to-' make
the .whole . party wealthy; ;.. He returned
to camp, but the travelers were short of
provisions .and water,-the Indians:: were
troublesome : and 'there was no time to
Waste in mining.'-.- - ' - -; - ' i
; ; v They pushed on toward their destina
tion, but between the Indians and thirst
only a few of them ever reached civiliza
tion. ' Brtyf ogle told his story, exhibted
the nuggets he had dug out and careful
ly jjreservedi and then spent the rest of
his life in a fruitless search for the de
posits . Others, who heard the story fol
lowed his example, and; for upward, of
forty years the Breyfogle mine has been
a veritable will-o'-the-wisp, luring men
to -destruction -in the terrible .: deserts of
southeastern California and southwest
ern Nevada. - ' - - y: -. - -
-"'-V A' LOCKT 8TBIEE. :
-George Montgomery, an experienced
miner well known in the Wood river re
gion of Idaho, was on a prospecting trip
-in the . region : to , the southeastward of
. Death valley. It should . be premised
that the old Utah road after leaving San
Bernardino city turns through theCajon
pass-'and then strikes off in a northeast
erly direction, across the Mojave desert,
passing Besting Springs,' the' Kingston
mountains and then traversing the Pahr
twip valley.'.'; .This' valley lies just on the
boundary line .let?ween --.Calif ornia and
Nevada - and ; has , a general. northwest
erly and southeasterly course the Kings
ton mountains lying to the west and the
Pah ramp range to the east.

One ledge located , by, Montgomery is
eight feet wide. has been traced by
its ontaroppings,,fpra distance of fl.000
feet.-. In. the decomposed, surface: rock
.the gold is found almost' like plums in a

are from a quarter to half bright yellow

lucky discoverer pounded but in a short
Jame a yeast powder can full of nuggets
or various sizes. , All j along the ledge
free gold is found in quantities that as
tonish, the oldest prospectors and which
seem scarcely credible, . , . - :- i ;
' -After making, several locations 'Mont
gomery spead the news of his discovery,
the' result being that some thirty or forty
miners are at work in the valley. Mont
gomery himself packed up as large a
quantity of the richest specimens, as. he
conld carry and. made bis way. across the
desert to Daggett, the. nearest railroad
point, 160 miles away. , From there he
came to Sah Francisco. : " ' :

To the qne8tioa whether he was look
ing for capital or a purchaser, Mr. Mont
gomery returns .an. emphatic negative
The mines, he. ways, are- the. richest he
ever saw, .and . he is satisfied that he can
realize a fortune :iby ..working t them.
There ought to be plenty of placer gold
in the gulches leading from the ledges
that have been discovered, but no effort
has been made to find any. All the
miners yet in the camp are busy on the
quartz chums they have located. On one
claim taken .' np by Montgomery a cross
cut. has been pushed-'. for twenty .feet
across 'the vein without striking.; the
hanging wall, and it is free milling ore
all the way. - '- -- - ' ' ;
' - Besides the deposits of gold, some rich
silver veins have been found, assays from
which run over a hundred ounces to the

In, any event, the Breyfogle mystery
