CLIFF JEWELLERS.
A Rich Field for the ArchaeOlogist to be
Found in Southern Colorado.

A Rich Field for the Archaeologist to be
Found in Southern Colorado.
One of the most attractive portions OF
Colorado, if not in the entire west, is that
part OF the state in which are found the
cliff dwellings of a long extinct race. The
district in which these ruins are located
covers an area of nearly 5000 square
miles, chiefly in Colorado but which in
cluoes narrow belts in the adjacent terri
tories of New Mexico, Utah and Arizona.
The ruins of this region, says the Cincin-
natl Commercial Ga zette," like most
Others of the extreme west and south, are
the remnants in a great measure OF stone
structures. 1t is evident, however, that a
great portion OF the dwellings of the low
lands which comprise the district have
been OF material other than stone, frequent
ly. doubtless, of rubble and adobe com
bined.
The cliff houses conform in shape to the
floor OF the niche or shelf on which they are
built. They are OF firm, neat masonry, and
the manner in which they are attached or
cemented to the cliffs is simply marvellous.
Their construction has cost q great deal oil
labor, the rock and mortar of which they
are built having been brought hundreds OF
feet up the most precipitous places. They
have a much more modern look than the
valley and cave remains, and are probably
in general more recent, belonging rather to
the close to than the earlier parts OF long
period OF occupation.
1t seems probable that a rich reward
awaits the fortunate ~arcb@ologist who
shall be able to thoroughly investigate the
historical records that lie buried in the
masses of ruins, the unexplored caves, and
the still mysterious burial places OF the
northwest. But it is quite improbable that
any certain light will ever be thrown on the
origin of this curious race or it's history.

Evils to Italy of Emigration.

A correspondent from Italy speaks of the
vast proportions an evil results OF the EN-
igration from that country to the United
States. 1t is so largo that not a few dis
tricts are left without cultivation or at the
price OF labor which renders all produce I'm.
remunerative. 1t is, as it were, the motion
of q pendulum. / remember the time when
labor was SO i'll paid that starvation was
almost the sure consequence. Now every
one is flying to the United Sta ties or Brazil
or the Plata, and comparatively few re-
main to cultivate a rich and grateful soil.
A lamentable feature OF the exodus is that
women are turned into beasts of burden
and are compelled to do the work that
should fall to the lot OF man.

The First Anglo-saxon Bible.

The first Anglo-Saxon Bible, called a
Bible history, was published A. D. 964.
John W. cliffe, a man Of great Christian
faith, published a good edition Of the Bible
about 1880. in the reign OF Edward, third
king of England. Printing presses came fn
order about seventy-fve years later, and
printed this edition not only in Latin, but
in French, Spanish, Italian, German and
Dutch. Luther translated the New Testa-
ment in 1922, and finished the complete
Bible in 1884. All the Protestant churches
OF Germany TO this date adopt his transla-
ton. William Tyndale published a good
which had to be smuggled into
England in 1926. The first English version
OF the whole Bible was published in 1885
by one Miles C~overdale, but was mostly a
OF Tyndale's edition. The author
lied version was translated by fifty.four
nominated in the reign of James
I. OF ENGLAND, 1911. Another and latest
has not yetquite come into general
use.

THE LIGHT FANTASTIC TOE.
A Sketch of Its Leading Trippers in
Butte.

A Sketch of Its Leading Trippers in
Butte.
Pleasure, without dancing, is very much
like plum pudding with the omission OF the
plums, in the estimation OF q majority OF
our society devotees.
Butte is noted for the large number OF
excellent dancers within it's borders, and
the new Union Club, embracing as it does,
the consolidated interests OF the Highland
and Entire Nous clubs, naturally contains
the cream OF proficiency in this respect.
Fame spares no man and laughs at
modesty in placing it's favored ones upon
the pedestal OF notoriety. When a person
achieves marked distinction in the ball
room, upon merit as an unusually good
dancer, the finger of publicity ito use a
metaphor), at once points him out in the
throng, and makes newspaper comment as
permissible as verbal praise.
Fully conversant with the natural tim
idity and proverbiaI modesty of the femin-
inc gender. we refrain from dwelling upon
the merits OF the young lady members of
the Union Club, but upon their authority
and after freely discussing the merits OF the
various gentlemen members OF the club, We
present without blush, fear or trembling, a
sketch Of some OF the latter whose dancing
has won them local reputation i'm the ball
rooms of Butte.
AS Shakespeare is to- the drama, SO is
Prof.. Couture's name endeared to the dane
ing public oil this community. The Pro-
lessor is q graceful dancer and wears a.
medal, won in California. He isinclined to
favor the glide, more than the hop, in his
dancing.
tsMr. kester" is a name extensively
quoted by feminine tongues in the ball
room, and his ability as a dancer is well
known. His waltz step is a combination.

THEY WANTED NO SMALLPOX.
Vancouver People Fight to Prevent the
Landing of a Steamer from Seattle.

Vancouver People Fight to Prevent the
Landing of a steamer from Seattle.
VANCOUVER b. g. special: A week ago
the steamship Premier arrived here from
seattle, w. T., with q big cargo Of freight
and 40 passengers, including the ]. 8. MUIR
ply dramatic company. When the port
inspector went aboard he discovered that
Gus Thomas, one OF the actors, had the
smallpox. The passengers were not per-
mitted to land, and ths steamer was sent
to the quarantine station al Victoria.
Friday night the steamer came back with
a clear bill of health, but the city authori-
ties here would not let her land. Repeated
efforts were made to run ont her lines, but
the police lined the wharf and with axes cut
her adrift. She finally lot go her anchors
and remained in the bay all night. Satur-
day morning the steamship Islander, OF the
same line. cana in the bay, a alongside
the Premier, and took OFF pait OF her pas
but when she attempted to land
the police cut her lines and with drawn re-
volvers drove the crew aboard. Captain
Irving, OF the Islander, attempted to dis
perse the police by throwing streams OF hot
water on them, but the officers pluckily
held their ground.
Both steamers are now lying off the city,
and 5000 people are down at the wharfs.
All are greatly excited and determined not
to let the steamers land. The Islander is
evidently making preparations to try to
effect a landin; /, and the fire department has
been called out. The mayor says he will
keep the steamers away from the wharf by |
streams of water or them.

NEEDS ATTENTION.
The Recently Erected Sidewalk on East
Park Street.


Park Street.
There is g. dangerously exposed piece OF
sidewalk on East Park street which may
lay the city liable to a damage suit il it is
not remedied. It is hat built ON grade
from the Butte City Hotel to Mahoney's
boiler works on the south side OF East Park
street. In some places it is five feet above
grade next the street, but on the other side
it is anywhere from ten to twenty feet
above the ground. The railing to protect
wayfarers from falling on that side was a
slight concern at best, but ever that slight
protection was destroyed in some manner
yesterday morning and when regretted
only uprights and the piece OF board along
the top were put up. The sidewalk ia very
slippery with snow and ice and has an in
cline to the south, for which reason there
should be an especially strong protectiouin
the way Of a fence, through which not even
a child could slip. When erecting such af-
fairs it is always cheaper to make them as
strong as possible. One damage suit
brought for an accident received there
would cost the city in all probability more
than a years appropriation for sidewalks.

TROUBLES OYER TIMBER.
Some F~inlanders in Alder Gulch Take
the Law Into Their Own Hands.

Some Finlanders in Alder Gulch Take
the Law Into Their Own Hands.
A party of Finlanders in Alder Gulch, in
Jefferson county, near oodville, occupy a
tract Of land upon which is some good
timber. 1t is said they only have a squat
ter's right to the land. On Wednesday they
were at work cutting wood there, having
already several hundred cords cut, when
two men came to their land with a wagon
and made preparations to cut a load OF
poles for their own use. The Finlanders
attacked the intruders and beat one OF the
men severely. The other escaped
the severe treatment of his CON-
rade and returned to Woodviile
where he swore out a warrant for the ar
rest of the Finlanders, ten in number. A
constable went to Alder Gulch to make the
arrest, but when he appeared the Finland-
ers ran him off. He telegraphed for the
Sheriff at Boulder, who soon arrived with
five deputies aud swore in another at
Woodville. All were heavily armed. When
they appeared in force among the Finland
,ers the latter submitted to arrest without
a struggle and were taken to Boulder. They
will be brought back to Woodville for trial
next Monday.

From the Sun River "Sun:" Livingston

company to put in a grist mill at that
place. If the head of the Yellowstone Tai-
ley can support a good mill, Sun River can
support two at least. And in addition to
a first-class Touring mill we need an oat
meal mill. Here in this valley is produced
as good an oat as eve grew, and yet thous-
OF pounds of an inferior quality are
annually shipped to Montana, all for the
lack of a mill. In order that a farming
community may succeed financially, facili-

Said to be Truth About the Poo

Says the Spokane Chronicle" A dis
patch from Butte to a Helena paper con
tanned the following:
"Information reached here to-day to the
effect that the Poorman mine has been com
PEELED to suspend operations owing to the
ice in the Ceur d'Alene lake, which prevents
the passage OF the barges which transport
the ores. Other mines in that district are
also compelled 10 suspend. til is thought
the suspension will not last longer than
thirty days."
Warren Hussey, of the Spokane National
Bank, was seen this morning by a "Chroni-
Gle" reporter. He said that the above vas
but partially true. The night shift only
had been dispensed with and this because
it was impossible to secure transportation
facilities to remove the ore. TIL ice in the
lake has not so far caused any serious
trouble. The difficulty is with the railroad
company which is unable to furnish the
necessary ears.

Oldest Timber i'm the world.

Probably the oldest timber in the world,
which has been subjected to theus of man,
is that found in the ancient temple of
Egypt, in connection with stone work,
which is known to be at least 1000 years
old. This, the only wood used in the con-
struction OF the temple, is in the form of
ties, holding the end OF one stone TO an.
other. When two blocks were laid in place
an excavation about an inch deep was
made in each block, in which q tie, shaped
like an ~hour.glass, was driven. II is there.
fore very difficult to force any stone from
it's position. The ties appear to have been
OF Che tamarisk or shittim wood, OF which
the ark was constructed.
