After I had worked another month with my teams, I was one Sunday sitting in my room, when a Mexican came in with a beautiful piece of metallic ore, which he said he had found in a ledge and was not able to work it, but, if after looking at the specimen, I wished to work the mine, he would labor for me and sell the claim at my own price. He called again on Monday and I went with him to inspect the vein, which ran into a mountain in which there was an old Sj)anish mine, called the " Valenciana. "... This was in the edge of the city of Guanaxuato. On my showmg the specimen to Fred. Glenning, said he : SUCCESS IN MINIXa. 201 " Why, that' s half silver ! Where did you get it ? " I told him a Mexican had given it to me. He said he would assay it, and, aft^^r doing so, it proved very rich. I told him the vein was six inches wide only and very thin, but he said it was good property and I had better secure it. I immediately found the Mexican and pur- cliased his right to the mine for twenty-five dollars, and went to the judge of the mining district and had the claim recorded in my own name.
