preference for the society of white
 men, and women. We have a res
 membrance of 8 time when half a
 dozen of those social fellows tried
 hard to get into our company for four hours. They seemed utterly
 oblivious to the fact that we knew
 not word of their language. Pos sibly they meant to entertain us by
 their beautiful sigh language. We
 were not socially inclined and had
 no eye for the beautiful-exccpt
 perhapse tor the beauties of distance
 and a tough, swift mustang. It is
 said that association with an Apache
 club is liable to cause softening of
 the brain-and skull too. They
 are regular shippers in 8 round
 dance. Usually pole is set up and theIr guest in the middle of the ball
 room in order to keep the company circling around and giving him chance to see all his frienis at once; inst as though it might be the last time he would ever sec them. They have an exceedingly familiar custom among them, no matter whether it be your first introduction to their so~ ciety or not, but it is usually display ed on first introduction. It is q habit of tenderly entwining their ringers in your hair. r. is always under stood by the experienced that when you are likely to meet with an Apa clc club your hair should be neatly cut-possibly the shorter the better. If you have any idea of the value of time it would be well to keep out of Apache society. They are said to be utterly oblivious to the value of time and when they go anywhere there is scarcely any telling vixen they will return. It Is curious to 1 know that when white men get Tn | with them they hardly ever come 1 back even hen when the club does. Theirs is very chivalric soci ty. They will wade through blood to place the gentler sex out of harm way Their prowess has never been known to fail them on such occa- sions: they are singularly polite ard precise in their cub bus ness and no ever requires second intro iuction or asks what your name is.

IN YESTERDAY evenings issue of the HERALD we took occasion tn re. fer 10 the manufacture of sorghum sugar as an industry peculiarly adapted to this valley,and one which oue ht 10 receive immediate attention. Since then we have been favored by a call from a gentleman of some cx> perirnce in the cultivation ot sor- gbum sugar cane in the valley and he would even emphasize our state> ment as to iis growth here ard adds that II is remarkably rich in sacEare inc matter. The seed, when hulled, aud leaf both form an excellent f d. der, as also the pressed stock. Our soil seems to De peculiarly rich ia tue elements favorable to the growth of the plant, one cf which is lime.
 The following estimate of returns per acre from sorghum will be found actually somewhat below the aver> age but the business is good enough to keep on the truthful side of figures:
 An acre of land ought 10 yield, or d narily, at least thirty tons of strip ped canes per acre. Average sor- ghum cane will yield five and half pounds of sugar to the 100 pounds of cane or $500 pounds of sugar to the acre. The sugar mills of Sinaloa are to>day selling their sugar at the mill for 16 cents per pound. Let ihe estimate for our purpose be made at 10 cents per pound and we have yield per acre from sorghum of $330 per acre. Suppose that the manufacturer concluces to make 200 per cent gross on the cost of cane de> livered at his mlll; this would still leave for the cultlvalor of the cane $1l0per acre gross and probably S1O0 net or the snug fortune of $l6,eOO per annum on his little quarter sec> ti' n of land.
 We believe that we are quite in- sine the line Tn this estimate ard that there is an nndevoloped wealth in the sugar business for our valley that but auai,s the hand of enter> prise to pour it's golden shower al our feet. All that is now needed is live man with experience in the business and feN thousand dollars to start mill and or valley viii start on career of unexampled prosperity ard wealth.

them beaIs this legend carved on its knotty trunk: H. Cortez, A D. 1519
 This is no doubt the work of some joker, though that doughty chieftain may have been the first discovcrer of these ruins. He mentions several such discoveries in his letters.
 The meadows on which this inns naense structure fronts descend in smooth verdant slopes and regular terraces to the cottonwood shaded river and the grassy mounds of a broad irrigation ditch skirt the valley. This ditch was taken ous several miles up the river, and in some places cuts through the solid rock of the impinging bluffs. Inn medIately in the rear rises the brow of the mesa which stretches awav as level as parade ground seven miles to the velvety foothills of the Mazat- gals. This mesa is covered luxuri- antly with several varieties of rich grasses in their respective seas ons, thus affordiug constant change of diet for the stock and making this one of the finest cattle ranges in the Territory.

A NEW AND IMPORTANT
 WONDER.
MAzATzAL, Sept. 1st, 1883.


 EDITOR HERALD:- I write from Mullen's ranch; grassy lawn siopihg down towards the river from where am seated, and the branches of wide spread ing mesquite waving overhead. Near by are the ruins which I men, tioned Tn my last letier,and of which am about to give you short de> scripIion. It has often beer a mat ter of wonder to me that antiqua- rians and archaeological societies have not taken more notice of the ruins and relics of the powerful race who once inbahited Arizona. Pow erful they must have been at least in numbers, for there is hardly squ re mile in the entire Territory on which traces of their former oc- cupation of the land can not be found. All that is known of this race thus far has been gleaned as tho prnspector would say, from surface indications" Thus in Salt River Valley and in all river bottoms where there are al)uvial deposits favorable for crops, we know by the courses of large canals which score the surface of the ground that they were farming people; we know that they made pottery and worked in stone from the numerous frag- ments of earihenware and imple> ments of stone which are every where 10 be found; we also know that they raised some species of domestic grazing animal, for in the mountains near water courses, and on the high mesas where it is inns possible to ra ise any cereal or other vegetable, there are traces of stone corral and small houses where the heidSmen must have lived. And this is all we do know of them. ex- cept that they understood architect ure full as well and possibly better han the average lower classes in Mexico at the present day; fact which is abunhantly proved by the runs of many of their buildings of great size and from two to three stories in height, which stand as si- lent witnesses in all parts of Ari- zona.
 The Jesuit priest who first reached this country from Mexico, about thr"'' hun fred years ago, were told l'y the Indians that Casa Grande, which has been described too often to need mention here, had stood there unchanged since the earliest recol- lection of their forefathers. Allow ing then, that the tradi ions of this ribe extend over a period of two hundred years, we find that this building Was standing in A. D. 1850 or the middle of the 14th century, when Europe was just emerging from the darkness of the middle ages. This would show us that
