 A very curious re of the prehistoric people who inhabited this valley was found few days ago by force of men employed by Mr. J. NJ. Ochoa in clear ing tract of land about two miles south west of this place. It is an oval shaped stone of white malpai through which an aperture had been made leaving a we'll worn handle upon one side. The utensil had doubtless been used to pulvenzc grain by rolling it much like the druggist does pestle ill the mortar The weight of this curious implement is twenty one pounds and it is in perfect state of pre- servatiou. II may be seen at tine store of Mir. J. NJ. Ochoa.
 Word comes up. from the southern portion of the county that Superinten- dent Alahur H. Elliott has encountered ore in the Queen of Sheba mine, near the Vekol. In this discovery he has fully vindicated his good judgment, as his faith in the continuation of the Ve- kol vein through the Queen claim re- mained unshaken by the predictions of men who called themselves miners that no ore would ever be found therein Mir |. Elliott and his company are working in complete harmony.and while they have never taken occasion to claim more for their mine than could be backed by tangible evidence, they are likely to de- velop fully as valuable a mine as they hoped to find.
 The Tucson Citizen devotes few m o. ments' time to exposing the malicious mischief perpetrated by Harry Blauv cit, of this county at present, who has con- tributed articles to eastern mining jour nals. derogatory to the mining interests of Arizona. The Citizen Is in error how ever, in stating that Blanvelt is employ ed by the owners of the Vekol mine He frequents that camp but-with the ex, ception of having been given temporary employmen t for only day or two at very long intervals, he has occupied nc position at the Vekol. If rumors t( true there are worthy gentleman in Casi Grande who propose stepping on this creature like they would upon a worm should he chance to smble into theil presence.
 A Good TilI.
