An Ancieni,lMsie Discovered in Spain..
The Paris Presse contains the following
statements: "Miners who work in the
Spanish silver- mine known as the 'white
pebble pit' belongingfor a long time to the
Orfila family, have just made a discovery
which is alike interesting to art and areha3-
ology. Whilst digging their subterranean
walks they suddenly found themselves in
Passages whose origin dates from the re
motest centuries. They further discovered
a thorough, and scientific system of mining,
implemente being in such a good state
of preservation that it could be determined
that it was not a Roman, but a Carthage
nian or Phcenician mine... The hatchets,
sieves for ore, but particularly a smelting
furnace and two anvils,excite the interest of
engineers in the highest degree. All these
articles were carefully collected, and -will
enable scientific examinations to be prose
cuted with greater exactitude than was
possible after a merely superficial view.
. Particular attention will be paid to the re
markable instruments and objects 9f art
which are said to fill the niches of a •intun
da in the centre of the mine. This rotunda
appears to have been the spot dedicated to
The godspresiding over mines. It was occu
pied by three statues; one sitting down, and
of halt life size, and the other two standing,
and about three feet in height. These statues
remind us neither of Roman or Grecian art
—but rather touch the style of that world of
sculpture which was discovered in the year
1854 on the other side of the mountains, and
which is now being pieserved in theArmeria,
at Madrid, and is known as the "Cartha
genian Hercules.'" The same symbols are
found on a tripod and chest which were
leaning against the sides of the rotunda.
Mne of science were already excited by the
discovery of 1854; and the present one will
certainly throw a light on the study of a civ
ilization which was once very mighty, and
-is now almost extinct. The tools, imple
ments and obiects of arts, at present, form
part of the cabinet of M. Lassery, at Valla
dolid."
