Operator* and Prospectors Driven
From Their Work by Threat* and
Depredation* of Yaquls.
Many of the lost mines of Mexico
were the result of depredations of the
Yaqui Indians. They killed or drove
prospectors from the country and ob-
literated marks of the workings. Thus
many mines, with great possibilities,
were lost.
One of the mines of the Estrella
del Norte Mining company was lost
for many years. The'only clue to its
location was found on an old Jesuit
map, which said it could be seen by
looking from a church door. The
church was found and the land dug
up as far as could be seen from the
door, but no trace of the mine was
found. Later, after the search was
discontinued, a wall that had been
huilt at a date later than the map,
fell down and exposed another door.
Men with field glasses, looking from
this door, discovered the old^mine.
Many *of the churches of Mexico
that cause the world to wonder, be-
cause df their architecture and price-
less ornaments, owe their existence to
mines. The Baroyeca church, built In
1792, was built from the wealth de-
rived from the Mlna Grande mine, in
Baroyeca mountain. Prior to 1850 the
wails were lined with sheets of pure
silver from the mine. The candela-
bra, the altar rails and other parts of
rhe sanctuary were of silver, and the
altar vessels were of pure gold.

Last of Caiapoola* Die*.
Down around Cottage Grove, Ore.,
the old-timers are poly discussing what
they remember of the Caiapoola Indian
tribe. The last specimen of the tribe,
Sam Fern, went td the happy hunting
grounds a few days ago and the peo-
ple at Cottage Grove are wondering
what will become of the land which
the Caiapoola tribe was using. Some
of it Is exceptionally fertile land. The
trtbe got Its name from the range
of mountains in that vicinity, or vice
versa, and the Caiapoola were always
a peaceful band. This tribe went
through the great fire which swept the
coast range about a century ago, when
the only way the Indians could save
themselves was to remain in the rivers
for several days. The fire was so in-
tense that the water became warm.
Caiapoola Indians declared that the
I wild animals also fled to the river and
wolves and deer paddled around to-
gether In perfect harmony.—Portland
