II 1 a n Lniz Terrazas Gets Mggets From Mexico Property y ,TVith a History. Louis Terrazas, jr., of Chihuahua, has recently visited, .for a week, the gold mine m the Placer de Guadalupe, north cast of the city of Chihuahua, about 90 miles, and near the line of the Orient railroad. -He brought into Chihuahua with him over 12,000 pesos worth of gold in bullion, and nuggets from the property. The mine is called La Var gen, but is better known by old timers by the name of the "Oaxaca" mine, aft er the name of the family which owned it for years. Fortune Is Secured. This property is unique in the re spect that the gold occur in n tt,oi of brown calcite, instead of rfuartz, and the gold occurs In Tnncv-1 , ' get form, some of which were of such rare beauty as to be naturally jewelry in the form of feathers, cubes and filla gree. Years ago, Norwald Bros., of Chihua hua, purchased these beautiful crystal izea specimens andsent them to Ger many, where they commanded very high prices. It is said that emperor William ownb one of these specimens. The vein was in a contact of over hanging hme and shale, and underlying porphyry. The rich streaks of native gold occurred near the junction'" of seams or "gilos" in the porphyry and the contact vein matter. At that time the shaft was down about 300 feet and about 2125,000 had been taken from this one shaft, the only hoisting being the backs of the peons, who climbed up the "chicken ladders" or notch od ri j The Oaxacas would make th minJ they employed strip, and when the holes were drilled the miners were called upland sent to their homes, and uie Oaxacas then descended to the bottom and carefully picked out all the big gold specimens possibly. IVuggets Stolen. "Often," said they, "we would find a single chunk of gold that would welh several ounces, and have taken out as high as S1000 from the result of one shot. In spite, of our precautions the employes would conceal a nugget so successfully as to fool us." The ore, after the richest was taken out. was then carried down to the spring on burros and milled in three ar ras vas. Just below this mine was the famous Arroya Rica, which was found about 40 or 50 years ago hy some Mexican soldiers in pursuit of Apaches. The late Col. Pedro Gonzales, whose family live in El Paso, immediately resigned and staked out a claim, and in a few days took out S25.000 worth of gold nuggets. b u Stampede to Placers. A wild stampede followed and every body made money. It is said that over $500,000 was taken out, and Several well known families of the city of Chihua hua, such as the Millers and the Mc Manuses, are said to have made the original wealth from this wonderful placer. A single nugget was picked up that weighed 11 pounds. The gold isi of the purest ever found on this continent, the mint of San r-ancisco having certified to its beinc 190 fine. Geologically this gold belt can be traced northward to the White moun tains and White Oaks, N.

T aIttq years we have devoted, exclusively to the millinery business in El Paso it has always been our policy to pro duce the very highest type of millinery at the very lowest prices. This is especially true this season. . ' Before selecting the Easter fait we want to remind you that it is so much 'better to come to an exclusive millinery N store and select a hat that is absolutely correct and at the same time costs less than you wouH pay elsewhere for a hat that is indifferent in both style and quality. This idea has been proven -many times during the past week. People came, admired some certain hat and then went around shopping. Many came back with the intention of buying toe hat they aAnire to find that it had been gold, in the meanwhile, to some (woman of quicker discrimination- Others went- e sewherc and bought something and then came back to tell us that next season they would know better.
