IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES.
A letter from the San Juan river gives an
interesting account of recent explorations
and important discoveries by the Hayden
surveying party. Abundant evidence has
been obtained that series of races of man
hourished a thousand years ago, ranging
from the lower order of cave jewellers to a
people considerably advanced in the arts of
civilization. One remarkable collection of
ruins was very interesting. The general
shape of the front was semi-circle. Tie
entire length was some 275 feet. In the
erection of their durable structures no def
mite plan seemed to have been followed by
the architects. The outer walls of this fort
ress stood on solid layer of rock, a hun
dred feet above the creek, while the walls
of the interior of the arc stood on the level
ground below. The building stone was all
roughly cut or trimmed into rectangular
blocks and plastered together. 1t is mat
ter of certainty that in all Or most Of their
house building these people employed no
masons' or builders tools, Tor the, prints of
the fingers, knuckles, nails and whole
hands are distinctly impressed in the mud,
which is now as hard as the rocks which it
joins together !, the very veins and finest
lines on the skin of the fingers is visible
everywhere on the edges of the mortar.
RESCUE OF SURVEYORS.
When the detached party of the survey,
whose adventures in western Colorado have
already been told by a correspondent, was
attacked by Indians in the Sierra La Sal
they left two of their comrades at supply
camp in the rear. They have since been
rescued and returned safely to camp.
MILLIoNAIRE's WILL.
A Detroit dispatch gives particulars of
an important will contest now pending in
the state court. The estate of Capt. Ward,
deceased, worth $4,000, 900, is in dispute.
The testator left two groups Of children
and divorced wife, as well as widow.
The effort TO set aside the peculiar will of
the deceased proceeds from the elder
family of the millionaire. Their version of
the facts connected with the making of the
will, as presented in court, is very striking.
One of the early questions arising in the
trial is whether sp' itualist is necessarily
of infirm mind.
A NEW COMBINATION.
1t is reported negotiations arc still pend
ing between the proprietors of the new Ma
tional telegraph company and the Atlantic
aud Pacific telegraph company, and that
the leading and controlling officers of the
latter company is about TO proceed to San
Francisco 10 arrange for strong combina-
tioa against the Western Union company.
1t is said a new "bull' pool has heen organ
lied in Northwestern common, but the
combination rs yet have made no effort TO
put up the price Of the stock.
FREIGuTs.
Teles. ams from the west represent that
