Workmen engaged ID quarrying rock for MT. Shannon, one mile from town, on the old Frankfort pike, came upon a massive stone wall IL had every ap- pearance of having been built by hu- man hands, the mortar seams and joints being very plain. Above 1t about ten feet of dirt and twenty feet of rock has been removed by the wOrkmen, and on the side exposed the men have advanced forty feet from where they first struck rock. Thus t was firmly imbedded in a limestone quarry, which certainly has formed about 1t since the wall was built The face Of the wall was well dressed, and its massive appearance gave evi. dence of the skill of hands perished long centuries ago, which could well be en- vied by the best of stone masOns of to- day.--fLexinEton Ky, Press.

CLIFTON IND THERRApours

Mir. Theo. F. White has returned from
 a trip to tho upper Gils, in the vicinity oi
 Clifton, where he conducted a survey oi government lands and run the township
 and section lines. He experienced some quite severe weather while in the field
 and his work was somewhat impeded by
 the storms, which made some of the
 rivers and streams in that section quite
 impossible.
 MT. White states. that but little farm ing is being done on the upper Gils, the settlers finding stockraising more profit able, owing to the remoteness of a market for their products. Beyond the border Of New Mexico however, more attention IS paid to agriculture. Among the stock men of the region he visited, Messrs Purdy < Co, are the most extensively engaged in business, having about two thousand head of excellent cattle. They are located about four miles this side of the New Mexican line.
 Tn and about Clifton mining matters are very active. The company operating the rich placer mines above Clifton are laying the piping to conduct the water from fifteen miles above, for hydraulic purposes. They are eXpendinR a large amount of money in preparing to com mence extracting the gold nuggets, and they expect to begin hydraulicing about May lst.
