THE MINES
OF MOUNT SINAI
Evidence That Copper Was Taken
From There 7,000 Years Ao.
Euvptiaua hud . mined the rugged
Bides of Mount Sinni for capper and tur
quoise thousands of years before Moses
climbed tho mountuin to receive the
tables of the law, und the Egyptians
waged wars for tho possession of these
mines. M. de Morgan with a party of
French engineers recently visited these
abandoned workings, which tire situated
convenient to tho Gulf of Suez, and ex-
nlored two of the ancient deposits. Jle
found the mineral doposits in the Band
stone region sund not in the porphyries
which constitutes the great nines of the
mountains.
These deposits coneiat of copper and
iron bearing minerals, especially liemn-
rite, und boiiio gypsum. Among the
cupriferous minerals the most valuable
were tho turuuolsn, many valuable spec
imens of which have been discovered
from time to time in tho tomb and treas
ures of the Egyptians, says tho National
Druggist. M. do Morgan brought bnck
to France a collection of minerals, moat
of which were turned over to M. Berthe
lot, who made a most interesting report
on the minerals, in which he stated that
the copper-bearing specimens were poor
in metal nnd not plentiful.
Making Buch ores must have been
tedious and severe labor. The Egyp
tians were still using arms of wood nnd
chipped or ground stones, and copper
was a rare uri.l precious metal, the pos
session of which was thought to repay
the most severe labor. Later on wood
und stone-implements gave place to
bronze, which was made possible by the
importation of tin from remote regions.
These mines have been abandoned
for nt least 3,000 yenrs, probably on ac
count of h constantly growing scarcity
in metal. The mines were probably
worked from 3,500 to 4,000 yenra. It is
thought that the working of the mines
began nearly 7,000 years ago. Chicago

PACIFIC STATES TELEPHONE COS.
New Yokk, April 9. A special to the
Tribune from Washington enys: In tho
mail from Manila, which has just arrived
at the war department, there were at
least two communications expressing
conviction that Aguinaldj is hiding in
that city. One of these letters is from a
United States Secret Service official, who
has found conclusive evidence that tho
Tagal leader had been in Manila since
the rebel nrmiesm Luzon were dispersed,
and who was satisfied that, as he had
not escaped by water, he was probably
still concealed in the native part of the
town.
The other letter was from rn army of
ficer attached to headquarters, who
voiced the opinion of all the higher
military authorities that Aguinaldo was
certainly not in any of the outlying dis
tricts on the island of Luzon, for Amen
can troops hnd too thoroughly overrun
the entire country for the rebel chief to
escnpe detection. Other officers recently
returned from the Philippines confirm
the impreseion that Aguinaldo would
naturally Eeek Bafety in the Tagal quarter
of Manila, where he probably finds
greater seclusion and' security than in
uny other place in the archipelago, es
pecially as it is not frequented by Ameri
can troops or natives who sympathize
with the American rule.
General Otis is said to have no doubt
Hint Aguinaldo has not been out of Ma
nila since the first of this year, but he
has refused to offer any reward for his
apprehension, although the secret service
men have every assurance that betrayal
by natives would speedily follow the of
fer. "
