pound, and I determined to ride over and get some. When I was returning with four pounds of my favorite meat I was captured by Mexican Officers. They took me before a magistrate of some kind, who declared the government should confiscate everything I had. His orders were obeyed, and I had to leave the country robbed of everything I then possessed. The Mexicans were only too glad to find an excuse to steal my mine. They did not want to see an American possessed of so much Mexican silver as my mine showed.
