While wandering in the neighborhood
of Posion Butte, northwest of town, few
days ago, Charles u. Mason observed some
singnlnrly laid stones in an clliptcal form
in one place, and prompted by curiosity
he cXclvatcd lis interior. At depth of
several feet he uncovered the skeleton of
one of the prehistoric jewellers of this
valley. In one hand were evidences OF Il
bunch Of arrows, the stone of which he
gathered rs curiositics. The skeleton was
that of = person nearly six feet in height
but the body had evidently been crowded
into II grave too small and was doubled
up in IL crampcd position. Mr.. Mason
took the iawbonc, showing full set of
good, sound teeth, every one of which
was double tooth. 1t is barely possible
that the skeleton was that of one OF the
more recent occupants of the valley-a
Yaqni, Pima or Papago-but the evident
care taken in its intcrmcnt suggests tic

All OF her cooking is done ont of doors
Mt this time of the year, and her range
never gets out of order. She builds her
fire on the ground, and her cooking
utensils consist of two or three carthcn
pots. These and IL jar of water, with a
cocoanut ladle, make up the kitchen fur

troubled with table spreading or dish
washing. She is never worried about her

mcsc use neither knives nor forks. Their
staple food is rice, and Il huge platter of
this is cooked for the family and placed
upon the floor. In addition there is a
bowl of curry, n kind OF soup, gravy
like mixture, which is seasoned with
fish and pepper, and which is very hot.
The family squat around the rice dish,
and each has his own little bowl for
curry, and larger one for rice. Every
one helps himself, putting his fingers
into the rice platter and taking MS much
as he can squeeze up in his hands. The
food is conveyed from the bowl to the
mouth with the hand, and at the close OF
the meal everyone is expected to wash
his own dishes. No drinking is done
during the meal, and at the end each
goes to the water jar and rinses out his
