sable. We are not positive but it is our impression that the county commissioners are supposed to look after such matters and if possible devise means to render the county roads passable for vehicles. Hardly a day passes but a wagon is wrecked by rocks or cuts in the road, yet nothing is done to remedy it. It would take but a few hundred dollars to place the road in good shape and the least the commissioners can do is to appropriate money to repair it. — Pinos Altos. A BIG FIND A Contractor in Rio Janerio Makes a HaulSeventy million dollars in gold and millions of dollars worth of gold dust, ornaments and precious stones, is the comfortable find which which a contractor of Rio Janeiro is reported to have made. He was engaged in tearing down the old castle of San Antonio and there he dis- covered this gold mine, where it had been hidden since some time in the last century. Carreo D. Caracas, published at Caracas Vene- zuela, in its issue of July 1st, gives a detailed report of this discovery in an article which occupies almost the entire front page of the newspaper. According to this account the find was made by an engineer who was tearing down the castle of San Antonio. Before it was converted into a castle San Antonio was a monastery under the control of the Jesuits.
