SPANISH HATS FOUND IN AN ANCIENT MINE TAGO, Nayarit, Mexico, June (A-P.) ---In the famous old Cucaracha (Cockroach) mine, near here, recently re-discovered after being hidden for a century and a quarter, miners are bringing up evidences the Spanish, padres who otice owned approaches to rich veins of gold. One of the discoveries was a large felt hat, in a remarkable state of preservation. It resembles pletures of the headgear worn by Friar Tuck, of nursery fable fame.

It has very broad and" floppy brim and wan made of a fine grade of thick hair, felt, colored brown. Deburial for more than 125 years, fibers still are strong a and appear equal to any used in modern hats. The workmen have tound also portions of blankets and garments, showing fine material and weaving. The texture of these articles is far superior to the crude Indian or Mexican weave of the period, and this is regarded an certain evidence that the owners were alien who brought the stuff from Europe. The padre mine operators were driven out of Mexico about 1812 and never permitted to return.

Though the Cochroach mine was known its location remained a mystery, untIl, recently, an American mining engineer found it by accident. Legend tells that the retreating Spanlards buried many bars of gold and silver in the vicinity of Cockroach, and this tradition adds zest to the work of the miners. SENTENCE IS AFFIRMED.

From a Forsyth we took No.

to Springfield. From Springfield No. 14' was taken through Marshfield and Lebanon, from which place No. 5 was taken to Linn Creek, in Camden county. At Linn Creek No.

16 was followed to Jefferson Olty and on. north to Shelbina, in Shelby county, One of the things that Impressed the writer was the large number of active road' contracts on the state highway, One has to be somewhat an optimist to appreciate this, for when one is moving along on A smooth stretch of state-maintained road at about the best speed It. In ante to drive "Henry" and suddenly runs up to a large sign "detour" he does not at once appreelate that an even better rond 18 being provided for and personally apt to wish the whole construeMon program on the route had been delayed until that trip was oven No. 14 1. to be primary road from St.

Louts to Springfield and on to Joplin. It will be standard concrete rond following in a general way the Frisco rafirond as far MA Springfleld. From Springfield to Lebanon most of the grading has been done and there are a number of further active contracts for betterment of this route. Quite a mileage of concrete will be laid this summer. For about 10 miles north of Lebanon No.

5 has been graded and graveled and 18 one. of the finest pleces of rond of this type we have seen. From the end of thin stretch of rond to Linn Creek the maintenance force of the state highway have in effect constructed fine narrow rond on an easy grade, It Is not difficult to go over this at a reasonable fast speed. At Linn Creek No. 15 comes in from the southwest and extends on north of Jefferson City, where dt crosses the Missouri river and continues northward.

From Inn Creek to on the Onnge river, this Hasp has been graded and much of dt. has been or will be. gravelled. In fact, the gravel de most of it so loose It in difficult to drive through. Just across the Missouri river a part of No.

has been concreted and much longer stretch has been graveled. This route passes through Fulton, Mexico, Paris and Shelbina and traverses part of the grest prairie section of the state. Road construction there has not been :80 rapid as in parts of south Missouri owing to the difficulty of getting proper material. oravel must be shipped in from great distances and for some time It was A problem with the state highway department as. to where it would get material without having to haul it 20 far that the cost would be prohibitlev.

Finally in the northern part of the state tine deposit of glacial gravel was discovered and the state highway commissotn bought it. The being used to supply several ties, Beginning at Hannibal and running the full length of Shelby and continuing west through Macon and other counties to St. Joseph is another of the state primary roads. The larger part of this will be completed this year. Concrete in being 1a14 In Monroe and Shelby counties at the rate of about 800 feet per day or about one mile per week of six working days, This la known an route No.

8. It has a certain historical Interest because It follows very closely the right of way of the Burlington railroad, which was the original Hannibal St. Joe railrond built just before the civil war. At the time of the war this was the only rallroad across the state and formed AnI Important link In the transportation eyitem of the government. At Salt river bridge in Shelby county, General Grant, then only a colonel, did his first soldierIng in that war.

One of the things that Impresses one studying the road problem In north Missouri in the difficulty of getting roads that are permanent. In the hill country where the state has built the roads and put them on the ridges, they are, when properly graded, there for many years and maintenance is a simple We had supposed that in the level prairie section the maintenance crew would have them smooth Immedintely after every rain, but they were not so smooth as the roads in the hills, the roadbed yielding too easily when wet and is too hard when dry. On the return trip No. 15 was followed to Linn Creek and then on to Buffalo, In Dallas county. This runs through one of the most turesque sections of Missouri: As one drives along the Osage or Gasconade rivers in Camden county he would hardly know whether he were there or along White river in Stone or Taney counties.

Swinging ensily around the great curves of the rond a view of the hills and valleys stretch out before the vision that is wonderful beyond compare. A. great dam is in prospect for the has been much done in the way of state. Osage which will, if built, make an Immense lake in this part of the From Linn Creek to Buffalo there road development. Not much of this has been permanently constructed, but the maintenance division has been busy and has done well.

Part of the road 18 now under nctive contracts and de being rapidly torn up. Since there are no places for detours it makes traveling very ditfloult. At Buffalo we came Into No. 3. which is the same route that passes from Springfield through Ozark down to and through' Branson and Hollister and to the Missouri-Ar-1 kansas state line.

This is to be a concrete road in part. South of Springfield the road has been finshed to Galloway and an active contract for concrete work is being done this side of the James river bridge. From there on to the Arkansas line the road da in good shape except that a large amount of soft gravel makes traveling hard through a part of Christian county. North of Springfield no rapid progrees 18 in evidence on this route, In fact, we saw few stretches of road In RE good shape na No. 3 in Stone and Taney counties and as it will be in Christian county when the gravel is packed.
