Peering into the dark hole, he saw the top ofa rude ladder resting against one side of the open ing, which was the sbaft ot along abandoned mine. Not stopping to think of the uncertainty, Werthing- ion quickly let himself down upon the ladder, and followed it down the shaft. After he had descended some distance into the dark unknown depth, Worthington lighted a match. The flame lit up the shaft brightly for a moment By that momentary flash of light Worthington saw on every side, glit- tering streaks and strata and pro jecting lumps of virgin gold. The venturesome Englishman de seeuded to the bottom of the shaft, which, as near as he could judge, was 50 feet deep. There he hghted other matches. Gold littered all around him. On the floor of the mine lay half a dozen leather buckets | moldy, cracked and rotten by age, | but, all the same, buckets in which | the Aztec miners had borne their | precious burdens centuries ago, from those golden depths. Worthington had succeeded in his long and toilsome search.

He had been arrested by the natives when he was about to return to the City of Mexico, and was sentenced to be shot. He bad managed to escape with his maps aud some specimens.
