aware that in order to do
this we will have to sell
cheaper than our neigh

pressed for cash, and
therefore it will be better
for us to sell for cost than
to sell on ever so short a

the case are just these: it
is a necessity with us to

PLANCHA DE PLATA.
Translated Expressly for
The Phcenix Herald.
How A Yaqui Indian Made the
Discovery.
Chunks of Silver Weigh'
ing 3,500 Pounds.
Eastern capital is forcing its way
into our neighboring State ot Sonorit.
A mining company composod of some
of the first capitalists of the East
lias recently been formed in New
York, for the purpose of develop
ing some of the rich mines situated
in the district of "Planchasde Plata"
iu Sonora Mexico, and we under
stand the undertaking is being push
ed with vigor. To give our readers
na id'?a of this famous district, we
give below the report ot Mr. Howard
Schuyler M. E. which has been
translated from the Spanish for tho
Herald by Mr. E. Junj,erman of the
U. S. Military Telegraph Office.
The Arizona range of Mountains
which contains the famous district
ot' mines, known as the Plancha de
Plata, is by no means a recent dis
covery. It is 120 years since these
famous mines were discovered, a fact
well authenticated in the archives of
Spain and Mexico, and many have
been the efforts to obtain and hold
possession of them.
The mild climate, the fertile val
leys, the hills covered with grass and
timber and an abundance of the
puie:t mountain water for both man
and beast, made it a country select
ed by the Apachss as their home and
which was only wrested from them
by the most desperate efforts. In 1871
Mexico succeeded in subjtc.ing and
removing tiiem, although since
that time they have returned iu suffi
cient numbers to harrass the few who
had been courageous enough to pros
pect there. At the pie ient time ev
erything is quiet, the Indians have
been removed to distant reservations,
and the prospectors who have been
working there during tne past few
years have not been molested.
The history of these discoveries is
not a matter of pure tradition. The
actual petitions of the discoverers for
the return of the silver, which the
officials of the King confiscated, are
matters of history, and borne out by
the archives which have been seen and
read by many. Iu the year 1835, Mr.
Ward, Minister of the British Gov
ernment to Mexico, made a special
report of this district to his Govern
ment. An old Spatiish work, entitled
" The Zealous Apostles of the Socie
ty of Jesus," (pp 232 to 237, vI. II,
chap. II) has the following regard
ing the discoveries of the Planchas
du Plata: " Thcro was discovered in
17o!t, in the Apache frontier, in the
region known as the " La Arizona,"
to the north of the Presidio of Altar,
and distant from there forty leagues,
injthe. vicinity of Agua Caliente, a
region of untive silver. A Yaqui In
dian made the discovery, and com
municated the same to a trader who
made it public. lie made the dis
covery in the vicinity of n wood
which extended nearly a mile from
that point. Tho.-e who were present,
explored the ground to the depth of
a tew varus, aud louml pieces or
pure silver weiirhinsr from 1 to 50
pounds. Afterward, other pieces
were found weighing 500 pounds and
one piece was found by a native of
Guadalajara, weighing 3,500 pounds,
which had to be reduced to smaller
dimensions before it could be trans
ported. The finding of such enor
mous riches, soon brought together a
large number of people who excavat
ed the earth iu differeut directions.
Some found smaller chunks, than
those above mentioned others merely
grains of silver and others again
found nothing."
The foregoing is also cited in the
statistics of the State of Sonora.
"Jose Francisco Yalesco, Mexico,
1850.,'.(P, 10) contains the following:
" Prom the foregoing you can eas
ily understand that this impor
tant placer of pure silver has its ori
gin from soaie very rich vein or
ledge which mitf-t exist in the neigh
boringmonutaius because all of them
contain more or less mineral. The
truth of this discovery is not only au
thenticated in the history to which I
have referred but also in 'Las Ocias
Espanolas' and in the writings of the
archive cf the umskmse-f 'Titufiia
AlU."
Latter in the year 1817 Don Pioni
sio Rubles of the pueblo ot Kayon to
gtther with an expedition cf 200
men started for said district with the
intention of discovering the richness
of these deposits. They took their
departure and soon after arriving
there commenced a thorough exaui
iraliou of the surrounding country.
They made excavations, the former
excavations having in the years
which had elapsed become filled
by debris. Although they found de
composed quartz, which is an indica
tion of native silver, they did not
the good fortune to find large or even
small pieces of silver as often
proceed from the smelting furnace,
when we are running silver bar.
They only found one strip of puro
silver, weighing three pounds which
passed to the possession of Koblea,
aud from him to that of Lorenzo
Martinez, who gave it to the author
of these notes. He kept it for the
Mexican museum, but before he had
the pleasure of donating it, he show
ed it to his friend Don Ygnacio Zer
miga, who was going to the capital
and at his desire he gave it to hint to
deliver there. This was done, for ia
the year 1835, when the author visit
ed the museum at the City of Mexi
co, he there saw the same strip of sil
ver. From the preceding it is easy
to be convinced that there was no
doubt of the existence of these enor
mous masses of silver in " La Arizo
na," and if the expedition of which
we have just spoken, did not find
them, they proved nothing to the con
trary, considering they were only
eight days in La Arizona, when they
observed large parties of Apaches
surrounding them for an attack that
caused them to break camp and leave
very quickly. History and tradition
agree in confirming the discovery of
large bodies of silver in La Arizona
and vicinity. It is said that the Mili
tary Commander of the Presidio of
Altar in 17U9, gathered the silver
in large masses claiming it as a treas
ure that appertained to the King and
accounted to him for what he hail
done. The interested parties made
reclamation but failed to obtain a
favorable response, they then had re
course to the tribunal of Gunda'ajra,
who referred it to the court at Madrid
Seven years thereafter the King de
cided that t!iis sil-er belonged to his
royal domain, and that they had only
worked for his sole benefit etc.
Continued Sext Wednedoy.
The Tiptop Mine.
It beems from letters ftad articles
published in the Mining Record of
Xew York, that considerable of tho
stock of this company is held by per
sons in the east, and they are at a
loss to know why a mine that is
yielding 40,000 per month should
not pay dividends. We have mads
inquiry into the management of the
Tiptop Co.'s affairs, and find that the
great reason why the mine has not
been a paying property is simply
owing to the fact that it is a hard and
expensive mine to work, nnd was in
the bining, under the former
Superintendents, badly handled.
The mine is a true fissure veia with
perfect walls; the lead :s f an avtr
age of thirtr inches, of which prob
ably not more than six iiichos are se
lected and worked at the mill, tn
miles distant. The low grade or is
being saved, and will, at some fnture
lime, undoubtedly be worked. Tr
keep the mill running, 110 miner
are employed and about ten men at
the mill. Add to this those who
pack the rock, haul the wood, do the
cooking, laundry, etc., and you have
at least 200 persons who receive pav
from the Tiptop Company, which of
itself exhausts one half of the Month
ly income. Thereis now to be ad
ded the expense of quicksilver, salt,
chemicals, wear and tear to the
machinery, tljo loss on bullion, ex
pense of shipment, etc., which con
sumes much of the other $20,000 per
month. One yar ago the mine was
in debt $S0,0bj, all of wllch liasheea
paid, and there is now inthe treasnry
aliotit $20,000. The mino has prop
erly opened roads built ami every
thing put in shape so that the ex
penses can be greatly reduced iiud
there is no reason perceivable why
the mine should not pay dividend s'
and its stock go up to be several
dollars a share. Mr. Webber, the
present superintendent, is acknowl
edged to be an efficient mining man
and from his close attention to bus.
i.iess we believe the mine cannot other
than prosper and become one of the
best properties in Arizona, which ia
saying considerable. Jfintr
