 answered, instinctively comes to the lips: "Who were the people that raised so massive a structure? From whence did they come, and what has been their fate?" But sphinx-like, the mysterious ruin stands amid the solitude of the desert plain, while from its Weather-beaten crest voiceless cen turies look down upon the curious inquirer.
 OTHER THEORIES.
 The New York Tribune, in com menting upon the efforts of the gov ernment to preserve this interesting ruin, arrives at the following some what skeptical conclusions:
 Secretary Noble has done well in acting promptly upon the report con corning the ruinous condition of the famous Casa Grande of the Gila, made by special Agent Morrison, through whom it is proposed not only to pro- tect but to "repair" the ruins. Arch @ologists may apprehend such experi- ments will injure rather than i'm prove the appearance and antiquarian value of the relic. The material of which the Casa Grande was built has been so variously described by travel lers that it is rather difficult to arrive at the truth. Mir. Morrison says the material is concrete made of fine gravel, sand and cement" Most other writers have been of the opinion that it was simply adobe; that is, puddled earth, such as has been the principal building material in both Old and New Mexico for centuries. In the Casa Grande, however, the usual method of making the adobe into bricks was not followed, but it was apparently set in large frames or boxes, such as are used for concrete. No one before Mr. Nor rison has discovered the existence of cement either in the blocks themselves or in the fine smooth coating of plaster with which the walls of the interior are covered. The general conclusion has been that the inner plaster was simply a separate coat of the same material from which the building was constructed, though the plaster for the interior was evidently worked up to a finer consistency so as to give it the effect and the durability of good hard finish.
 As regards the antiquity of the Casa Grande MT. Morrison appears to en- certain opinions scarcely on level with recent researches and the most authoritative conclusions. He speaks of the ruin as if he believed that it was a survival from very remote antiquity, and his idea seems to rest upon the consideration that when the Spaniards first saw the Casa Grande, about the middle of the sixteenth cen tury, they found it ruin, and so long antedating the native tribes of the To- cality that those Indiana could give no account of its origin. But if MT. Morrison had made careful study of

SCIENTIFIC eoNcLus1oNs.

The Hemenway Pathological expe- dition, under charge of Lieut.. Frank Gushing, made extensive researches throughout many of the ancient ruins along the Gila and Salt rivers during the past year, and among it's collec- tions were numerous skeletons of the prehistoric people. The army medi- cal museum at Washington was pre- sented with many of these relics, which were made the subject of the most careful study by scientific men, and as result, Surgeon General John Moore, in his official report, states
 that the conclusion has been reached that many of these are at least a thousand years old. The period of their occupation of this valley doubt less covers several centuries of time and, as the skeletons were taken from their several burial places and the best preserved only were selected, if they are pronounced thousand years old it is not unlikely that the disappear
 ance of this remarkable race of people 1 occurred at about that time. The castle of Casa Grande was the work o
 their hands; it corresponds in the class of materials used and method o.

Mir H. H Bancroft's works, he would have found ample reason for doubt ing the conclusive nature of such testi- mony. MT. Bancroft, after full con- sideration of all known facts, sees no ground for assuming that the Casa Grande of the Gila was much more than century old when it was first seen by Cabeza de Vaca. No writer on American antiquities has had the opportunity of consulting anything like the mass of material accumula- ined every particle of evidence on the subject, and his monumental work on the Native Races" must ever be the most full and trustworthy on all the subjects it embraces. Now MT. Ban croft found 1t necessary to abandon the old theory of extinct nations as builders of the New Mexican monu- ments, and he has shown conclusively that there is no need for any such hypothesis, the simple explanation of the facts being obviously the correct l one.
 MT. Bancroft holds that the Casa Grande and all the erections of it's kind were the work of Pueblo Indians. He says: "Every one of them may be most reasonably regarded as the work of the present inhabitants of the Pueblo towns, who did not differ to any great extent in civilization or in- stitutions from their descendants, though they may very likely have been vastly superior to them in pow CT and wealth" And he proceeds : Consequently, there is not a single relic in the whole region that requires the agency of any extinct race of peo- pie, or any other nations than those now living in the country" The con- clusion he reaches, therefore, is that "New Mexico, Arizona and Northern Chihuahua were once inhabited by agricultural semi-civilized tribes, not differing more among themselves than do the Pueblo tribes of the present time" How the civilization of these tribes came to decline some genera tions before the Spaniards came is a question prolific of surmise and con- ject ure, but in the nature of the case incapable of definitive solution MT Bancroft has dealt with it, and his suggestions are certainly plausible but that aspect of the matter cannot be entered upon here. The preserva tion of the Casa Grande--and indeed of other like monuments-is to be de sired and approved; but at the same time it is we'll that the claims of the venerable relic upon our respect ant interest should be accurately stated and that they should not be confused
 by Incorporating with them ground less or exploded theories.

What Is being Done at Fairbank-The Flourishing Mines of Bisbee-TOmb- stone Don't Appreciate it's Great
 ness-The Outlook for Will
FAIRBANK,

Fairbank, since the Copper Queen Company built its railroad into Bisbee, has settled down to average daily life. At one time the large Missouri mule teams of James Carr could be seen hauling out wood or coke to the var ious mines. The teams were the fine est ever brought to the country and the drivers were among the best that could be procurd. It was always a pleas ure to see them pull out and observe what a good driver can do with mules. Unfortunately the country did not agree with the imported mules and, one after another, they died off and MT. Carr met with loss within a few years of over $40,000. The teams fin ally were hitched up with the average Mexican mules and after the railroad was built the teams found employment in other parts. At present MT. Carr is operating at Fl Paso, hauling ore to Fl Paso smelter.
 While Fairbank was at its best, 1t did not afford the accommodations that it now does. MT. l.. D. Lyons has erected a good hotel and newly furnished it, in connection with which he has good restaurant. It often happens that one misses connection at this point and good bed and room are very desirable, all of which MT. Lyons provides.
 MT. P. A. Demartini is the leading merchant of the place and is assisted by A. F. Parades, at one time resi- dent of Florence, and who is now postmaster at Fairbank, but will soon turn the office over to his successor. Most of the trade from the Mormon settlement goes to them, with that of the trade up the river for several miles and few mining operators furnish the town a good business.

BISBEE.

Some forty miles from Fairbank is the town of Bisbee, where is located the well-known Copper Queen. The property is owned by five gentlemen in the east, who operate it in practi- cal manner. Very little is known on the outside about the output of bull lion.
 A visit to the mine and smelters shows that an increase of power is to be added in the way of engines and other machinery, showing that this property is growing in value as the mines are opened up. The capacity of the smelters is about 300 tons per day and, at a rough estimate, they turn out about 35, 900 to 10000 pounds of bullion every twenty-four hours. Large quantities of it were piled up waiting shipment, which, owing to the scarcity of cars, had to lie there. Every thing in connection with the mine shows that there is master hand at the wheel. It does not take an expert to observe the regularity and smooth ness with which every branch is oper- ated It is said that over three hun dred men are employed here. Twen- four cords of wood are consumed daily at cost of six dollars cord, Most of the wood comes from the Chiri cahua side. The timber, similar to that of the King, is supplied from the Chiracahuas. A saw mill is kept stead fly at work supplying the mine and settlements, The tagging comes from the Huachucas and is hauled by teams,

Fish Dying by Wholesale and AMI

Indications that a Glucose Factory Is the
Source OF the Trouble.

DEsMorNEs, IA, May 20.--Secretary
Kennedy, of the State Board Of Health,
returned from Tama yesterday and re-.
ported to the Governor concerning the
wholesale death of fish In ths Iowa river,
from Marshalltown down. The doctor
made very careful examination, and
brought samples Of the water for analysis.
He found the case to be fully as
bad as claimed. Dead fish float In
the water, and are deposited on the banks
and In the eddies In purifying masses,
A sticky substance Is found covering the
fish and other objects In the water. AMI
mails will not drink the water unless COM
pelled by absolute necessity, and some
deaths OF stock are reported from the
effects of drinking It, Three persons
drank the water and were taken seriously
ILL Dying fish taken from the river and
placed In other water soon survive, show
ing that the pollution is in the river alone.
The stencil Is very offensive and the
contamin alton extends for fifty miles.
Even the Musquakie Indians, whose lands
are on the river, havo Joined In
the ccn,Plaint claiming that 1t has
caused the death OF a number Of their po-
MES. They will not touch fish from the
river. DIR. Kennedy was not prepared to
soy that the pollution originated from the
glucose works at Marshalltown, but will
make further investigation. The fact that
1t begins at Marshalltown indicates that
something is wrong at that point The
Fish Commissioner will act with the State
Board OF Health in the matter. The laws
Of the State are very strict on this sub
jecs, and a thorough investigation will be
