"How abnnt the railroad that takes one from the Pacific to lake Tltacaca? Ha it been extended?" "That road has sn extension to Sicuani. and from there a wide carriage road has been built to Cuzco. the old capital of the Incas. There are freight automobiles now used to connect Cuzco with the trains, and this road to open up the ruins of that famous city to visitors. There are good trains from the Pacific to lake Tlticaca.

and it will now take but a short time to reach Cuzco from there. Cuzco Is a town of about 30.ftj0 or so. It Is the center of a rich province and a busy place, though it has nothing of its political Importance of the past At the time that the Spaniards came it was perhaps the richest of all the Indian cities south of the isthmus.

"You will hear such traditions in nil parts of the Andes, but I doubt whether there Is much truth in them. Th Spaniards carried away about all the gold and silver that the Incas had mined, and. so far as I know, but few hidden treaaures have come to light.
