CALLED A SOUTHERN KLONDIKE Centuries of Mining Have Not Exhausted the Wealth of the Deposits Which Tempted I'iz-arro Years Ago, REPUBLIC SPJXIAL Washington.

Feb. -The -old fields ot Peru are ag4ln claiming the attention of wealth-seeking men. The reports that now come from there arc as enticing as were those which, years ago. led Plznrro and his band of conquering Spaniards to risk life In searching them out and taking froTi them wealth for the coffers of Spain. These mines had Lcen worked by the In-ca Indians for many centuries before Plzarro: they have ben worked, constantly, but indifferently, since.

They have yielded millions of treasure every year. But. Instead of exhausting them, all this delving has. If seemingly authetlc reports be true, but served to bring a little more closely to the understanding of man the Inestimable richness of the deposits. And soon.

It Is expected, this Southern Klondike this new California, will be the Mecca of armies of adventurous seekers after gain. Gold is being found everywhere. English mining expertr, who have been arriving by every steamer at Callao for more than a ear, report that In the mining operations of the past, beginning with the conquest of Plzarro and carried on for more than three centuries, only the surface has-been scratched. E. F.

Prew. an English civil engineer, prepared a report for the United States Stun? Department in which he expressed this opinion: "Comparatively speaking, the country has not been opened up at all. Veins and deposits of great richness exlt everywhere. As the country is covered with a thick growth. It does not lend.

itself easily to the work of prospectors. The mines generally arc tis-covered by deposits washed down by rivers and streams, and which are traced to thiir source." Mr. Prew was speaking of the gold district ot'Carabaya. which lies In the district of Pune.in Southeastern Peru, well over on the Bolivian boundary. River Beda Lined With Gold.

This district Is rapidly attracting the attention of American and European capitalists, and many prospectors are at work in its velleys. There are already a number of large mines In operation. Hydraulic mining Is carried on and stamp mills for the crushing ot quartz being rapidly Introduced. The roost Important of these mines Is tl-e Santo Domingo, which was purchased by an American company for CS0.OCO. and has already more than paid for itself.

The Santo Domingo vein varies from one foot, six Inches to eight feet In width and yields gold from eight to eight hundred ounces per ton. In some instances pure gold has been found. Other mines in the district are the San Joan. Maria and PaqueL In this territory there are many claims still unlocated. The laasabsurl River mad Its tributaries have Beds literally paved with cold-hearlaK mad.

The -taiaa thraash which theae rivers raa are "helle-red ta eaatala billions of dollars worth of sold. Reeeatlv a concession was rranted to Messis. Emll DelaHee and Fernando Fuchs for the purpose of dredging portions ot the Inambarl River and some ot its tributaries. Sold ALL DRUGGISTS-WHOLESALE OR RETAIL. There is still plenty of for Individual prospectors to operate.

Information uuout the way of reaching this Peruvian Klondike la given by Mr. Prw. ltoughly speaking. It lies over the mountains between three and four hundred miles. The nearest point li Tills table is furnished by Mr.

Prew: Climate Is Exrellrut. Place. Time. l)i(ta-r. V.y mllway: la.

Trade from this point ls also on foot. The actual time needed, vthen once on the road, ls given above: but It Is ver seldom that one would go through without remalnlrg a few days nt some ot the principal stopping places; In fact.

It Is abrolutely necessary to do this In order to make arrangements for Indian carriers nnd guide, who have to carry the goods tuid necessaries from these places, it is Impossible to get unythlng of this kind further In. "Speaking generally, the roads are not bad until Saco. although In places they are far from good. The altitude varies fruni C33C meters 14.u92 feet) In Macusanl meters 12.SH feet) In Coaza. ami about the same in Saco.

"The climate Is exceedingly god. The rainfall ls heavy, but fevers are unknown, although It really is a tropical climate. The temperature varies from TU degrees Fahrenheit in the evenings to 90 degrees Fahrenheit In the shade In the daytime and 1) Fahrenheit In the sun. This Is an average, but. of course.

ther are exceptional tims when it Is colder and warmer. "Nearly every known ilas.s of wood grows, such as Ironnood. walnut, mahogany and eeveral kinds of soft woods, but on account ot having no sawing machinery. It is of little valne as planks, though In case of necessity these are sawed out by hand, but It serves admirably as props for the mines and posts and frameworks for the house. Most of the latter are only huts, with no floor except earth, and are usually "lean-tos." with framework of posts or palms.

Some Native Are Still Savages. "It 1 seldom that the fronts or sides ire but good roofs of palm leaves are used to keep out the rain. It Is surprising, however, how comfortable these huts can made. Other houses are bulltup oft the ground on poiU. but these are usually for people of means or owners of mines.

"Animal life may be said to be scarce, though more can be heard than seen of It In the thick forest. The mart plentiful of birds ls the parrot, which Is seen of every shade and color, and ot animals the monkey. Over the mountain roads to Inambarl there are vicuna, alpaca, deer, partridges, ducks. tc. The natives, known as are seldom seen.

They are perfectly uncivilized, and In many Instances parties have been surprUed and killed by them. Their weapons are bows and arrows made of Iron-w ood." Another district of Peru In which gold has be-n discovered In great quantities It located In the central portion, and has already been called "New California." Gravel beds bearing gold In paying quantities hive been discovered, and one of the properties which contains over twenty square miles of paying gravel has been described by Mr. Lane, another English engineer, as a section the richness) of which cannot be surpassed anywhere. This district lies about I2S miles due east from Pisco, on the northern slope of the Andes. It is verv difficult of access.

Gold eeckers can travel by rail from Pisco to lea. a distance of about sixty miles, and must mako the remainder of the Journey either on horse or mule by narrow trails along the Inland slope of that range.
