The Zunt Mine.

From tho,san Juan Herald.
r. II. Williams, the superintendent and
original locator of the Zuni mine, on Anvil
mountain called at the Herald Office lately,
and showed us specimen from the new body
recently opened in the tunnel. eighty feet he.
low tn. shaft, which is now forty.five feet
deep and showing seven feet Of ore. The ore
shown Us from the new discovery is remark
able for its richness being a very high grade
chloride ore, much SO that by being placed
in n biacksmith's forge the silver comes out
in little buttons on every side of the rock.
Mr. Williams has just received returns from
an assay made by Prof Birshinc, giving SOS
ounces in silver with two-fi?ths of an ounce
gold. These encouraging results will cause
Mr. Williams u resume shipments the com
ing week and continue all winter. Mr.. vii.
liams is the sole discovercr of this valuable
property, and one of the company of which
Small, Fillmore and Simpson, Of Pueblo.
are directors. AT present six men are en-
ploycd in the tunnel, but as soon rs conven-
lent he will add two more shifts and work in
two directions on the ore body. Its difficult
now To tell just which way the vein runs, rs
they worked 100 feet in country rock before
striking the ore body, supPosing at the time
To have started on the vein. They have four
parallel locations thus securing the ground
provided they are mistaken in its course. No
time will be lost this winter in doing all the
development possible, and regular shipments
will be made Everything has been comfort.
ably arranged and before spring the Iuni
mine will astonish its owners for richness.

Auti0uilic. Of Colorado.

From the Golden Transcript.
We have received from Capt. +. l.. Bcr-
thoud an account Of some archaeological dis.
coverics made in Picdra Pintada creek canon,
some twenty miles southwest of Del Nortc,
Colorado:
ricdra rintada (paintcd rock) creek is n
small stream that rises near Baldy or rintado
peak. some twenty-five miles south of Del
Nor,c, in Rio Grandc county. 1t is pretty
well known to all those who have paid any
attention tn the subject Of nborginal(g) or
prehistoric vcstgcs of any kind found in our
state. that rock pictures (painting) are by no
means uncommon or rare in Colorado, New
Mexico. Arizona and Utah. The utcs prin.
cipally, and some other tribes rarely, have
left in many places series of hic~oglyphyics,
generally of unknown Significance, painted
or scratched upon the soft shalcs or sand.
stones of our tertiary and crctaceous rocks
so abundant everywhere in the territories
and states bordering on the Rocky Monn-
tains, and their occurrence except perhaps
those on Inscription rock, arc generally
trivial or impossible to explain, or indicat,
ing obscurely events whose significance our
limited knowledge fails to explain. In the
locality, however, which is to-day the subject
of this article, the significance OF the rock
carvings are invested with two-fold inter
est.
First-thc hieroglyphios, or symbolic
writings are not painted or scrawlcd on the
rock. They have been laboriously cut into
hard volcanic rock, and show, we arc told
signs of agc. Not thirty miles from them
in the valley of canero creek, we have more

Col. Nash has just returned from cruise
on Surface creek, in Delta county, fully con-
WINGED that the ranchers in that section have
caught onto the tail end Of the Garden of
Eden. The Colonel, after dilating upon the
immense yield of vegetables, produced
specimen Of oats from Sam Sheffield's ranch
that borders on the phenomenal. The speci-
men exhibited was the second yield from the
same stool and measured three feet in height
with well formed grain. The first crop was
harvested August Sth, and on September Is
u second cutting was made which yielded
over three-quarters Of ton to the acre

The Rig Ditrhcs.

From The NOntrosc Messenger.
Work is being done on about ten miles Of
the Uncompahgre canal. We should be
pleased to see the work pushed forward still
more rapidly. The mesa is claimed as our
great wheat land. II we are to produce big
wheat crop next year water must be placed
on tina, land by the first day Of March.
Spring wheat can be sown as soon As the
frost is out of the ground, and the earlier it
/, sown the better yield it will give. Last
year the frost had left the ground in Februa-
~. 1t is safe to predict, therefore, that the
ground will be in condition TO receive the
seed not later than March OF any season
That being the case, the water will be needed
on the mesa fully ~ early as March first, in
order to give the ranchman time to prepare
their ground for the seed.
Ale Cushman is making active prepara-
tiont to commence work again on his ditch.
When lac goes at it this time it will be pushed
through to completion, and that in time for
a crop next season.

TuE national debt has been decreased nearly
$i00O0.00 in the first four months in the
current fiscal year, and US the available cash
balance in the treasury after the redemption
of the remaining 30 per cent. bonds will he

the third call for 81 per cents will soon be
made. The actual surplus for the first third

Si200O,O0O less than the surplus for the cor.

modern Ute paintings or scrawls of less COM
plex characters, but at Piedra Pintada the
whole series as photographed by Lowe &
company, of Del Norte is more complex
and seems mostly n serial history of re-
markable event, not the mere Photograph
of successful chase, or the result of a warlike
foray against another Indian tribe.
Besides the usual delincaton of the out
spread hand, snakes, grotesque people, large
birds n tortoise and n mountain sheep, and
many unknown signs, we have on the face
of the rock and well delineated, a good rep
rcsentation of body of naked Indians fleeing
apparently from some gigantic horse and
footmen who appear to have overcome the
naked natives, and are in one or two cases
engaged in decaptating or shooting some Of
the fleeing footmen. Two of the horsemen
are particularly noticeable. One is mounted
on a large horse and is charging with large
lance, while another one also mouhted, is
either blowing e bugle or shooting with a
cro.s-bow at the fleeing naked men, while in
advance, another man is shown with sword
and buckler, and another one depicted cut
ting of the head of captive.
We believe these Photograph. represent
events that took place upon the first advent
of Spanish cavalry in the valley OF the Del
Norte, dating from the beginning of the 10th
century. when Coronado, or Onate, or Espejo,
the first Spanish explorers, came northward
as far A. the Arkansas or South Platte rivers
aud struck terror among the native tribes by
their success, while mounted and in armor
they rode over the naked and almost defence
less Indians who opposed their progress.
1t is well known that the first horses
brought to Mexico by Cortez were considered
as deties by the naked and inoffensive
Aztccs. Their appearance in the valley Of
the Del Norte afterwards was undoubtedly
an event of terror to the Indians, calling for
their highest skill and patience 10 record
this remark able event. We believe they date
back to the period Of the earliest conquest of
New Mcxico-as far back as l54a-'i3.
