Mr. Vf. O. Cheeuey, practical miner
alogist and asaayer, has written 11 very in
teresting letter to tlut Austin (TexaO
Statesman, iu reference to the mineral re
source ot Western 'TcXMf. Over one

personally, lelt Tennessee for the b irder

crated many years ago by gold hinders
from Mexico. "It visited San S.iba.
f.lauo and surrounding counties, where,
hi former times, considerable mining had
been carried on, ai there are still visible
the remains ol old mining shafts, and
rude furnaces wjierc smelting had been
done. He says: "Of the old mining
slmlts or pits, there have been some lllty
reiortcd, principally In the counties or
Hell. San Sab 1, Menard, Mason, nnblu
and Llano. I also Ihlnk that n fair silver
lead must have been obtained in Unmet,
vtiuiamsoii and .Milam counties, for thu
remains of old furnaces still ex-

of Ihis mining must have been done while

celved a letter from one of his suhleets
which said : " About forty leagues,

tljratlims then undo by tho
Mexican government were, owing to In
ternal troubles iu the empire, abandoned ;
ami since that time, until recently, tlm
mining region has attracted bin littie at
