EXTENSIVE RUINS IN ARIZoNA.-A
party of surveyors in Arizona, enga~
ged in exploring the country for rail
road routes, lately came upon some
very extensive ruins on the banks Of
the Little Colorado river. They ex-
tend along the river for many miles.
Some of the walls of the buildings
are yet in their places, and stand six
or eight feet high The streets may
be traced for miles. The old irrigat>
ing canals and bitches are yet in
fair state of preservation, and may be
traced for miles also. The ground is
strewed with broken crockery. ware.
The party found some nearly whole
vessels of curious form. The ware
seems to be OF differ ent quality and
finer than that found at most of the
ruins in Arizona. Many OF the walls
of the buildings were built of hewn
stone, and put up in a workmanliko
manner. To all appearances, here
once stood city of many thousands
of inhabitants. Who they were, or
to what tribes they belonged, there
is no record left to show. On the
east bank are the ruins of large
structure or castle, covering several
acres Of land. Some of the walls are
yet standing to the height of twenty
or thirty feet.

Track Laying on the Pacific R. R.

A correspondent of the CHICAGO
Journal thus describes this work:
The process of laying the track is
indeed as interesting as has been
described. There is no limit to its
speed, inside of eight miles day, in
GLIDING the night, except the ability
of the road to bring up the ties aud
the rails. With the present COM
mercial business of the road, the ma
terials for no more than three miles
day can be brought up, and this is
about the average progress. The
work is under the charge of two
brothers, Easement, from Ohio, men
OF wonderful energy in railroad build
ing and great skill in the organiza-
ton of labor. The grading is kept in
advance of the three hundred miles
between Creston and Salt Lake val
ley, indeed, full half is already Iinish-
ed and for the track laying a pick
ed force of about four hundred men
are employed. The ties are carried
ahead mile or two from the supply
train by teams, and laid by special
gang but the rails are brought for
ward on platform car to the very
edge; two are dropped to their places,
the car pulled by a trained horse ov-
er them, and two more dropped, and
so on, while the moment they fall,
men adjust them exactly, others fol-
low with spikes and rivets. and 9TH
crs still with shovels and bars to lev
ell and straighten the whole work.
The moment car load OF iron is ex-
hausted, it is tipped off the track and
sent back, and fresh one pushed to
the front, and so the round goes on
with the regularity of clock work.
The lodgings and boarding house of
The laborers keep progress with the
track. A long train furnishes kitch-
en-, dining room and partial lodgings,
and carries tents for the rest Of the
latter, and these are pitched wherev.
er the night finds them. A drove of
cattle follow along and brouse among
the sage brush of the adjacent hill
locks, TO be slaugh Uttered from day to
day for fresh beef. The contractors
furnish the board, which is excellent,
and costs them $50 month for each
person, though the laborers are charg
ed but $40, We happened to be at
the end OF the track when the train
moved up with its dinner, and sat
down by invitation to share it. 1t
included boiled beef, pork and beans,
tomatoes, peas and potatoes, canned
peaches and black berries, bread and
butter, and tea and coffee, all of the
first quality, and altogether, to us, it
was the best cooked meal we had
found since leaving the Missouri riv-
er. Thus it is, in part, that the con.
tractors get good workmen and rap
id work. They pay from So to $3.50
day, wages, and these are the rates
for the laborers all along the line Of
the work but not all the contract
ors feed their men as well as the
Casements.

g0y-The annual attrition. in the sill

Ags5- The annual attrltlOn, IN the ST
yer coins of Great Britain, is stated
to be increasing. The worn shillings
and slxpenses are purchased az the
English mint at the value expressed
on the face OF the coin. TO make up
the difference between the real and
nominal value of the silver pieces
bought at the mint for re coinage,
the Government granted in 1867 the
sum OF 915,0 900 sterling, or 100000
shilIings. This amount was estimate
ed as representing the abrasion of
silver coinage Of Great Britain du.
ring the year 1867. The weight of
silver thus rubbed off by constant
handling amounts to 54,750 ounces.

sD~A San-Francisco paper of a
late date, under the head Of "A Nov
ell Arrangement" mentions the fact
that well-known business man
who recently resided in Chicago,
but was compelled TO remove with
his family to California on account Of
bis lll-health, has conceived q plan
for transacting business both in San
Francisco and Chicago, as soon as
the Pacific Railroad is completed.
That is to say, he will be enabled to
attend personally to the Chicago
branch seven months in the year.
and the San francisco branch during
the remaining five months. This
course will insure him a climate COM
genial to his health all the year round,
and the advantages of two vast me-
tropolitan markets. The time con-
sumed in travelling between the two
will average not over six days. The
California paper deems the enterprise
an excellent one, and thinks it might
be adopted by others with an equal
promise of success.
