Tucson, Aug 2 1S1e
Ed. .CoNMERC1AL-Itis now nearly one
month since I left this city with Mr.. II. c.
Hooker 70 take a took at lis Sierra Bonita
stock ranch and make an examination Of
the numerous mining camps now located
in this highly favored county, 50 far as
Z. ..:..-- and mining is concerned. In the
Dos Cabezas mountains there are several
! mineral ledges, the most conspicuous of
which may be followed over abrupt noun
tain peaks for mile or two, and are COW
cred by locations. The ledge is claimed
to carry S25-S40 in gold and a little silver.
Mr. Stewart, Post trader at Camp Grant,
and Capt. Madden, of Camp Bowie, have
claim on this ledge. and have sunk a shaft ~
10 50 feet. The ore from this shaft is piled
up on the dump and makes good show
| ing. E. Martin Smith and Casey each
have claims on this lode, the latter gentle
man Is working his ore in two arrastras,
propelled by mules. The yield is said to
be from S25 to $50 by this mode of treat
| ing them. Water is obtained from shall
| low wells in the pass of the mountains
and the ore is brought down on the backs
of mules in raw hide boxes. There is a
silver camp in these mountains; but it
was not convenient for me to visit it at
this time, though it is said to be rich.
From Dos Cabezas we went to Dragon
Mountains, where l made hasty exami
nation of number of poorly prospected
mines, said to be rich in gold and silver;
saw one promising copper ledge. Water
appears to be plenty here in wells, and by
perseverance it is possible some paying
mines may be opened. From Dragon
We next stopped at Tombstone. 1t was
nearly one wear since my first visit 10 this
district Then there were only q few
miners camps to be seen, made of Oco
lilo sta ks, and small assay office made
of plank owned by Rich. GiTd and The
pioneer locators, E1. ani A. Shefflin
Now there are three small villages in
sight and the slopes are covered with
miners camps. The new town of Tomb
stone is dourishing place, contains
quite q number of buildings, mostly ot
adobe, hotel, number of restaurants
saloons and large store, owned by Gen
Allen. This kiRdhearted gentleman CAV,

was treated with uniform kindness b.

Mr.. Geo. Roskuge has been down to
Patagonia during the past week, survey
ing the to wn. site, which includes the old
Mowry smelling works. The town-site
includes eighty acres and takes in the

A Great Discovery.
E. T. Cox.


A most interesting article appeared in
the Alta of August I'd concerning recent
discoveries by Rudolph Falb, German
savant, in the mountainous region of b.
livia in South America. The Alta says:
"Four miles south of Lake Titicaca,
1900 feet above the sea, in Bolivia, is the
ruin of an Aymara temple with a large
stone covered with carved hieroglyphics
or figures. These hIeroglyphics Prof.
Falb claims to have interpreted, and he
finds in them the proof that this temple
was erected as memorial of a great
flood. One of the principal figures con
tains Masonic signs, which mean the
light, the thought, the wsrd the begin
ming; and the Specification and history OF
these signs, after having been lost for
thousands of years, are now again to be
brought within the general comPrehen-
sion. Figures. used as religious symbols,
were preserved long after some of their
meanings were forgotten. The philolog
ical world will look with interest for
Prof. Falb's revelations.
p The Aymara tongue was in use before
the Spanish conquest, and is older than
the Quichua, which was spoken by the
Incas and their subjects in Peru.
This Aymara language, still spoken by
sOOO,OOO people of the aboriginal blood,
bears an unmistakable and near affinity
to the Semitic tongues, in which the
radical form of every verb has three con-
sonants. The Arabic and Hebrew are the
languages in this class, and the relation
ship Of the Aymara to them is strrng and
unauestionable throughout.
elf this discovery should prove to be
well founded, il will have an influence on
the learned world. Some Of the most in
teresting researches of the present GEN.
tury have been made in the same direc-
ton. The discoveries that the Sanscrlt,
Hindostanee, Persian, Afghan, Armenian,
Caucasian, Slavonic, Teutonic, Celtic,
Latin and Greek tongues all belong TO
the infected class of languages; that
many of their principal words, such as
mother, father, brother, daughter, horse,
OK, fire, sun, sky, light, dark, come, 60
! see, hear, eye, ear, hand, mouth, and so
on, have similar sounds in these different
tongues, and that ideas of later origin,
connected with high degree of civiliza-
ton, such as pen, ink, paper, gun, pistol,
and so on, are difrerent-these discoveries
have proved that the Aryan nations. as
they are called, all sprang from common
stock in Central Asia.
"If now the Aymara is Semitic tongue
the learned world will have q hare task to
determine whether Asia or South Amer
lea was its original seat and how the
transfer was made without leaving any
large mass of its active and imperlous
blood on the long road Was the hlgn
plateau of South America the cradle o.
Semitic, as that of Asia was, the Original
home of the Aryan kindred"
This discovery Will cause mostprofouno
, sensation among ethnologists and phi'oI
. ogists throughout the world.

Don't stop MY Paper.

Don't stop my paper, printer,
Don't strike my name on yet'
You know the times are s'inseh''
And dollars hard to get;
Rut tug a little harder,
Is what mean to do,
And scrape the dimes together,
Enouyh for me and you.
Icau't afford to drop it;
I find it doesn't pay
To do without a paper,
However others may.
have to ask my neighoors
To give me theirs on loan:
They don't say so, but mean Ii,
Why don't you have your own
You can't tell how we miss 1t,
II II by any fate,
Should happen not to reach US,
Or come a little late;
Then all is in hubhub-
And .L...s~ - - -"ry,
And printer, ii your married,
You know the reason why,
cannot do without it.
1t is no use to try.
For other people take it,
And printer, so must l.
too, must keep me posted,
And know what's going on,
Or 1eel and ue accounted,
A fogy simpleton.
Then take it kindly, printer,
If paw be somewhat slow,
For cash is not so plenty,
And wants not few, you know
But / must have M paper,
Cost what it may to me,
I'd rather dock my sugar,
Or do without my tea.
So printer. don't you stop it,
Unless you want my frown:
For here's the years subscription,
SO credit it right down;
And send the paper promptly
And regularly on,
And let it bring us weekly
The welcome benson.
