A WONDERFUL SILVER MINE.
And
Only mi Old nd lleticcut Indian
Woman. Knows Where It Is.
The excitement over tho discovery of
me supposeu "iViaria Koman anno is
nill increasing. Tho initio is locatel
about thirty miles front here, near the
lenil of the Carmcl river. Thot.0 who
havo come from thcro say that a largo
number of claims havo been taken up.
Many people are arriving daily.
I hero 6eems to bo a conihct of opinion
among tho old residents hero in Mon
terey, many refusing to believe that tho
old mine had been discovered. Accord
ing to tho story of tho old Indians, old
"Aunt Maria," as tho is called, would
leave tho mission in tho urorning and
would often return the same day, bring
ing with her a large quantity of silver
ore. The initio which has been discov
ered is about thirty miles from tho mis
sion, in a rough country, mid it would
bo impossible for any ono to make tho
trip on foot in less than threo days.
Old "Aunt Maria" is still living in Car-
When been by a Chronicle correspon
dent and informed of the discovery
of tho mine she became greatly ex
cited, and it was several minutes be
fore she could be induced to speak, as
bhe seemed to bo in a state of fear. On
being informed as to the location of tho
mine she seemed to be greatly relieved,
and remarked in Spanish: "They are
fooled." A great many questions wero
put to her in regard to tho mine, but sho
seemed to bo in great fear when tho
word "mine" would bo mentioned, and
nothing could bo learned from her.
With a smile she will tell of the good old
mission padres and tho vast amount of
lands which they had. Although sho is
over 85 years of age, sho often visits the
old Carmel mission, walking the distance
of eight miles.
From Francisco Hico, an old citizen of
Monterey, tho following information is
gleaned: In 1853 old "Aunt Maria"
brotight'a largo'amount of silver ore to
the store of David Spenco and exchanged
it for calico and provisions. Mr. Spenco
was astonished at the rich ore, and tried
in every manner to induce tho old wo
man to tell him where sho found tho
rock, hut could get no information.
That same year Sir. Spenco sent a largo
amount of the ore, which ho had pur
chased at different times, to Fern by
Capt. Cooper to have it assayed, and it
was reported that it yielded $.5,000 a ton.
Mr. Hico, when he heard tho report of
the assay, went to Mrs. P. Amestie, ono
of tho leading ladies of this place, and
who was a great friend of tho Indians,
and tried to get her to find out from old
Maria tho location of the mine. She took
her to an old house where sho had a fur
nace, ami aloa largo quantity of ore,
and showed her how sho got the silver
out. Sho seemed to bo willing to givo
Iter all that she had and bring her more
tsilver, but would not divulge the secret
which tho old mission padres had ad
vihed her to keep. It appears that when-
fVl'P tlin Imlinlw illftfnvoroil nr linnrd rf
any tiling their first thought was to lay it
before the mission padres.nnd they would
act under their advice.
According to tho statement of old Ma
ria Iioman, when she discovered this
mine she at once went to tho padres, who
advised her never to reveal it, not oven to
her children. They informed her that on
account of its great richness, if it wero
known throughout the world, largo num
bers of white men would flood the coun
try, kill all tho padres, destroy tho mis
sions and kill and drive the Indians from
their lands. Sho accordingly took an
oath that she would never reveal tho loca
t ion, and seems to this day to livo in fear of
her life lest .the mine tuny be found, and
tho prediction of the padres coino true.
She has time and again been offered
largo amounts of money to reveal tho
whereabouts of tho mine, and always
gives the same answer: "I promised tho
padres never to tell, and I don't want to
be killed." Sho will go on and describe tho
great excitement which would follow,
and how the Indians would havo to run
away to save their lives.
Iti 1801 Hico, who had never given up
hope of discovering tho mine, finally in
duced u son of old Maria, who had often
gone with her to tho mine, and who is
tho only ono besides her who knows its
location, to tell him where it was.
Mr. Rico took tho boy to ono of the
stores in Monterey and gave him S50
worth of provisions. Ho appeared to bo
delighted with tho gift, and promised to
accompany Iiico to tho mountains. Mr.
Kico made tho necessary preparations,
and in company with several citizens
and the Indian boy started for tho mine.
A few miles from the mission tho Indian
began to act in a queer manner, and com
plained of being sick.
Camp was pitched and a new start to
tho mino was to bo tnado next morning.
All hands retired early, and in tho morn
ing, to tho great surpriso of all, tho In-
.lir... icio i,icitifv niil in KO'irfdl linrl In
Ims abandoned. The Indian was seen
afterward, and it was tho satno excuse,
that ho was afraid to tell on account of
what tho padres told him.
That tho mino exists there is no doubt,
but it is safe to stnto that old Maria Ro
man will take tho secret to her grave.
This agitation will put now lifo in tho
matter, and no doubt strong efforts will
be made to get old Aunt Maria to divulge
the secret. Somo years ago a Mr. Mar
tin, living at Carmel, found a largo pieco
of tho rock at tho old mission, whero tho
blacksmith shop stood, weighing about
Beven jiounds. Tho rock is very rich,
and is Btill in his possession. Mr. Mar
tin has 6pent a great deal of time pros
pecting, in hopes of finding tho mine,
but without 6ucces3. Ho has groat hopes,
and feels satisfied that it is located near
tho mission, and will somo day bo found.

INTERESTING AFRICAN CURIOS.
A Ie at the Tiophles Mr. Herbert Ward
Itroiilit I Dim Africa.
A few privileged friends wero asked
recently to meet Mr. E. J. Gfave. of Lon
don, at the Tremont house, and at the
same time to seo tho maiiv curiosities
which Mr. Herbert Ward brought from
Africa with him. These articles are not
exhibited at the lecture, but aro shown
privately to friends. Mr. Glave, who has
charge of them, is a young Englishman
with a taste for adventure, who has been
into the interior of Africa with both Mr.
Stanley and Mr. Ward, ami has achieved
a decided reputation as a successful
hunter. It is mo.st interesting to hear
his desei ipt ions of tho life among tho
savages, and ho speaks modestly of his
own prowess, referring only to tho deed
of other men, until some straightforward
question brings an answer that ho can
not help giving.
1 ho world has grown accustomed to
eastern curios. China, India and Japan
aro no longer unknown lands, and tho
arts and industries from those countries
are almost as well known as those of
Europe and America: but in the curiosi
ties shown by Mr. (Jlavo one is brought
face to face with a new people and a
hitherto unknown land. The first sensa
tion which one has is a wonder how the&o
people learned to do so many things;
they work in iron 111111 other metal, they
weave a cloth from fiber, they carve in
wood and ivory, and their straw or cane
weaving is wonderful from its fine work
manship, its beauty of design and per
fect tiiiiih. This was best shown in tho
shields, which are long and narrow, cov
ering the whole body when held in front
of it. It resembles more than anything
the lino cane work of the East Indies. It
is smooth and glossy, and some of tho
libers are :is line as thread. Hlack and
white fibers are used, tho design being
wrought in black on the white ground
and is even more beautiful on the back
side than on the front. Of course, all
this work is done by hand, and it is as
even anil regular as if made by machine.
The ornaments worn by tho women
are barbaric in design: slill they havo a
beauty of shape that is unsurpassed by
anything modern. Copper is a great
deal used by them, and also iron; the
first is to ornament almost entirely, and
the latter is ii.ed for money, as well as
for the cruel implements of war. Among
the most inteiesting trophies aro the
axes and bows and arrows used by the
nation of dwarfs, a newly discovered
people, who have given Stanley a great
deal of trouble during his last trip,
They are a small people, only about
four feet in height, with small frames
and hhort necks, a most repulsive look
ing people, and very savage and fierce;
they are not physically strong, hut aro
very quick in their movements, and
havo a less di'gree of intelligence than
mo-i of the other tribes. The axes aro
short handled, broad iiladed, ugly look
ing affairs; die bows aro very small, al
most like toy bows, with correspondingly
small arrows, which are poisoned at tho
sharp iron lips. Small as these are, they
are deadly, if they strike, as the poison
is very powerful and quick in its action.
The savage idea of ornament is shown
in tho waist Ik'Um, bracelets, earrings anil
anklets worn by the women: these con
stitute the entire costume, but the richer
and more powerful a man is, tho more
heavily he loads his wives with these
tokens of his esteem and their worth.
The more of this kind of ornament a
woman has, the higher is her financial
value. After all. ci ilization and bar
barism are not so far apart as it would
seem at the first glance.
A spoon carved of wood is in a grace
ful and unique pattern, that might be
copied with advantage by silversmiths
who are in search of something new and
artistic. This is simply wood carving,
but the shape is very graceful and
beautiful. Some of the spoons carved
in ivorv were not unlike those of me
diaeval Europe, and it makes ono wonder
anew how ideas could have grown
among people who know literally noth
ing of a life beyond that ono in this
savago land. It certainly proves that
those ideas must bo common to the
whole human race, and that somo of the
verv best of our civilization came with
us from barbarity.
A beautifully wrought copper collar
worn by an African chief was as finely
engraved as somo of tho specimens of
Benares brass work. There aro also somo
fine specimens of etching on somo of tho
knives. It is perfectly impossible togivo
anything like an adequate idea of the
novelty of this exhibition or of its com
pleteness, but it is certainly one of tho
most interesting that has ever been given
in the city. It gives ono an idea ns noth
ing else can of the condition of tho peo
ple in tho "dark country," of which so
little has been known. Boston Herald.

ways consciously and
for their osvn ii'cusement solelv. Manv
of these ropriMiui-iions have been very
titiljiniit, but uixin no one of them has
, the fame ol nn author ever rested. When
, Coleridge wrote his remarkable para
j phrase of the Dibit', "The Wanderings of
Cain, it was undoubtedly an event in
the literary world, and brought him
great praise; but if Coleridge had never
written "Crlstabel." or "Tho Ancient
Mariner," or "Kjublu Khan," what niche
in literature's temple would Coleridge
occupy today? D 1011, in his "Heaven
and Earth." wrote a description of the
flood which for dramatic jower, vivid
portrayal and stupendous strength, far
exceeds the Dible's picture; but because
tho Hood had been the Dible's peculiar
property for hundreds of years before
Byron was born, so it will continuo to
hold its rights to the end of time.
To comedown in the scale, "St. Elmo"
and "Rutledge" owed their great vogue
to the popularity of ",lano Eyre" and
tho inspiration their authors drew from
that famous novel The duchess and
Helen Mathers pressed their lips to the
fever stricken mouth of lihoda Brough
ton and took the disease in a milder
form. Rita and Amelio Rives have
snatched tho falling mantle of Ouida,
divided it in half and wound it soclosely
about themselves that it has become an
extra cuticle a'nd could only be removed
by a surgical operation.
Great original genius is only, recog
nized and admitted after a desperate
light, because there is no greater toward
than the intellectual public The well
furnished and critical brain has every
shelf of its cells fitted up with tho lore
upon which centuries or generations of
public approval have set their seal. It
knows that to admire that choice library
is both safe and proper; it gives ono dig
nity and it gives one pleasure. Any
thing, therefore, which is radically dif
ferent from the inhabitants of those
precious shelves must perforco bo worth
less. People do not stop to compare or even
to remember the difference between tho
succeeding literatures of past gener
ations. Think of the monotony of the
world's letters if no original minds had
ever come to break loose from traditions,
inaugurate new schools and plant new
ideasl Suppose the glorious galaxy now
illuminating our past had succumbed to
the inevitable fire of public protestation,
what sort of a literature would we have
today? Unquestionably tho literature of
ono generation, even of one decade, is
the natural result of the literature im
mediately preceding it; evolution is in
exorable. But upon this forco of heredity
operate the great and complex forces of
the limes, and the man who is thrust
head and shoulders above tho mass, as
the target of his generation and a
landmark for posteiity, is ho in whom
both forces have met and been ignited
by the divine spark that shot in his un
born brain, whence no man can tell.

No Apology Necessary.
A Michigan avenue car stopped at
Second street esterday to permit u
young lady and a gentleman to get on.
As the former, who was young as well
as pretty, passed forward to accept a
seat offered her, she tripped over tho
outstretched foot of an individual who
was sitting at the rear of tho car.
In an instant she was almost at full
length in the bottom of the ear. Tho excla
mations of tin' passengers and tho black
lool;s they directed at the extended stum
bling block should have caused its owner
to sink through the seat. Quicker al
most than she went down, however, bho
was on her feet again, and gracefully
acknowledging the courtesy of the gen
tleman who surrendeied his seat.
She was greatly embarrassed, and her
escort looked like a thundercloud timing
if lie would like to punch tho head of the
fellow who had caused all tho trouble.
But he didn't lie contented himself
with occasionally stepping vigorously on
tho still extended and offending foot
There did not beem to be the least bign
of consciousness from its owner, while
tho passengers awaited the denouement.
Finally, with a lurch from tho car ns nn
excuse, the foot received another fero
cious dig that was so pronounced as to
almost twist the man out of tho seat.
Thinking that perhaps ho had really in
jured the man, the escort muttered on
excuso that was received in great cqua

CARE FOR SICK CATS.
An Institution In Ireland for tli'j Treat
ment of Maimed am! lllsihled IVllnes.
All npieul for contributions to an tin
ttstialaml pecuharcharity appears in The
Animal World, to which lovers of the
feline race will doubtless n-;ond with
alacrity. It seems that the home for
"starving and forsaken cats." founded
about four years ago by Miss Swifte. is
sadly in need of money to carry 011 its
humane and eminently practical and
necessary work. While babies starve
in tho tenements, the cat's retreat is
maintained and supported in such a
manner that every kitten receives per
sonal attention and interest, and none
aro allowed to leave tho homo unless
guarantee is made that they will better
their condition.
This homo is built at Whitechurch
lodge, Ruthfarnhain. County Dublin,
anil its object is to protect cat j against
brutal neglect and actual torture, to
nurso them in sickness, anJ support
them when forsaken, and to this work
Miss Swifto gives her personal supervi
sion and attention, together with such
devotion as only enthusiastic women be
stow upon the particular cause they es
pouse. This worthy lady has received much
odium as pioneer in a new enterprise
outside the line of popular approval in
variably experienced, but. pinning her
faith to tho queen's sentiment that "no
civilization is complete which does not
include the dtinib and defenseless of
God's creatures within tho sphere of
charity and mercy," she maintains by
sustained effort the work sho considers
paramount, and of which wo subjoin an
account, published in her fourth annual
report:
"The friends and subscribers of this
institution will learn with satisfaction
that it maintains its position in every
sense of the word. Wo aro enabled to
state it has held its ground through ail
verse times and continues to be a pro
gressive work. We have brought it suc
cessfully to the close of its fourth year,
not without having had often stern dif
ficulties to face; however, we can, in all
trtitli, say that many a pxr cat has been
saved from brutal treatment or a similar
death by finding an ever ready welcome
and shelter within its walls, while others
havo been received there, rescued from
deplorable wretchedness, misery and
starvation. During 1833, 1!20 cats and
kittens were received into tho stray de
partment, as against 201 in the previous
year.
"'Space will only permit us to describe
a few of tho most glaring cases, while in
a general way wo can mention that
numbers are brought in wounded or
more or less maimed by boys, dogs, men,
traps, poison, etc. These are among tho
enemies this particular race of animals
has to contend with every day, and yet
there are acts of parliament to protect
them from all. Ono creature was
brought in with the flesh severely lacer
ated 011 both sides. Onecat was brought
in with its back- broken and unable to
stand: this creature was in great suffer
ing: we knew recovery was impossible,
and therefore it was immediately de
stroyed. Several wero brought in with
an eye knocked out with tho blow of a
stone. One was t brown into tltr grounds
with legs paralyzed; one with its leg
much bruised by 11 trap; this cat recov
ered and got a good country homo in
England, the gentleman, in whom we
had every crnfidonee, taking it over
himself, along with a valuable Persian
that had boarded for eight weeks in tho
home.
"We aro quite aware that our work is
derided by some, but we do not in tho
least caro what people (hiiik or say. Wo
are nnove nun kiiiu 01 tony; iiemg con
vinced that our cause is a righteous one,

of things for cats or one that could lessen
a manifC'Tt evil, seeing they (cats) have a
right to protection. We think we can
have no loftier aim than in carrying out
tho wishes of our queen on tlii.-i subject,
which aro quite d 'accord with our own,
and directing our efforts in an especial
manner toward subduing tho sufferings
of this race of animals, which her muj
esty has been graciously pleased to sin
gle out for special mention in order to
elevnto them."
With visions of ravaged larders and

Let's reason together.
Here's a firm, one of the
largest the country over, the
world over ; it has grown, step
by step, through the years to
greatness and it sells patent
medicines ! ugh !
" That's enough ! "
Wait a little
This firm pays the news
papers good money (expen
sive work, this advertising!)
to tell the people that they
have faith in what they sell,
w much faith that if they can'
t
benefit or cure they don t want
your money. Their guarantee
is not indefinite and relative,
hut definite and absolute if
the medicine doesn't help,
vour money is "on cal." '
Suppose every sick man
and every feeble woman tried
these medicines and found
umrlldncp nd Mrrviilrl Un
tnem worthless, wno would dc
the loser, you or they ?
The medicines arc Doctor
Pierce's "Golden Medical Dis
covery," for blood diseases,
and his " Favorite Prescrip
tion," for woman's peculiar ills.
If they help toward health,
they cost- $i,oo a bottle

"German
Syrup"
The majority of well-read phys
icians now believe that Consump
tion is a germ disease. In other
words, instead of being in the con
stitution itself it is caused by innu
merable small creatures living in the
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do
the leaves of trees.
A Gorm The phlegm that is
coughed up is those
Disease. parts of the lungs
whi eh have been
gnawed off atid destroyed. These
little bacilli, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive just the same, and enter the
body in our food, !u the air we
breathe, and through the pores of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with
frightful rapidity. Then German
Syrup comes in, loosens them, kills
them, expells them, heals the places
they leave, and so nourish and
soothe that, in a short time consump
tives become germ-proof and well.
