The buildings in this abandoned city were erected in the fofm of a parrallelo- gram, and surrounded by a wall that at one time no doubt was utilized as an ex- terior fertilization, but now an irregular heap of stones encircling the piles of rock, that years before had protected from the vicissitudes of the weather a community whose identity at this time is wrapt in mystery. Four ruined tow CTS stood at each corner of the ruins in striking contrast to the monotonons system of architecture that character ized the city at large. The first week that we spent in these ruins was devo- ted to the investigation of the city itself. From a number of excavations made in the dwellings it was difficult to determine if the catastrophy that lead to the aban- donment of the city was due to earth quake or to its capture by an enemy. We found immense quantities of frag- mented pottery, hatchets, axes, chisels, arrow heads of obsidian flint and quartz, metates of lava, and numerous other utensils of rock of primitive origin. We discovered in other portions of the ruins and associated with pieces of Aztec ware, blue Spanish pottery, the blades and hilts of swords, still stirrups, oak tanned leather with steel and copper, inlaid with gold and silver, long purses made of rings of steel wire, but tons and buckles of steel and silver, knives, fragments or entire pieces of domestic utensils, an alambique of cop per, fragments of glass, long pointed shoes. such as we lad never seen before, broadswords, long g-necked vials, and in fact, innumerable articles that betoken that at one time an European popula- ton occupied this city. Pieces of fire locks, stocks and barrels in iron, bronze and brass, bell mounted, and otherwise were evidences of the former occupa- tion of this point by the Spaniards, but convincing arguments were six pieces of 6-pound maritime guns of the peralloy

The Man Who Has Money.

The keeping of money is harder job than the earning of it. The old adags may not always be true. that any fool can make money, but only wise man can save it. Those who save money ire quently cannot keep it, for their very thrift frequently becomes blind. There Is perhaps no fact so quickly known as en individuals possession of more money than he requires for his living. Men who save are frequently vain of their suc- cess at thrift, and let out the fact that they are further ahead of the world than somebody else says or supposes. In a little while, especially in our metro politan society, so called, the man who has this money is mysteriously waited upon. A bright minded man Is pursued. He is entreated to comS out little more into the world and enjoy himself, and not let his exceptional wit and ability be hid under a bushel. Per haps in the course of a few months hiI own wife will acquaint him with the fact that there is great deal of money in some stock, mine, mortgage or scheme; the piper and steerer have got around on the blindest side of the man and made his wife believe that her husband can sud denly become three times as we'll of as he is if he would only take a sure chance. als of his family will brighten up and say Well.

THE NOON MINING CAMP
Mines All Looking Well--A Road to Be Built--New Mill.

l MT. s. c. Starratt came in this morn ing from the Noon Mining camp, and brings good reports from that section. MT. Starratt has been working in the | St. Patrick mine for six months. The St. Patrick and San Francisco mines, the principal ones in the camp, are now worked by Col, Reed with a force of eighteen men. The deepest shafts are 150 feet with connecting drift at the bottom to give circulation of air. The ore is even and of high grade. A car load was shipped last week. 1t IS all carried on burros to Nogales. This Is slow and expensive transportation. There has been large amount of ore shipped from these two mines which has averaged about $500.
 The owners of the various mines in the camp have agreed to contribute sufficient sum of money to build a road to Nogales, via Calabasas, that can be used temporarily until such time as they can secure assistance from the board of supervisors to build a better one.
 Leavery $ Dougherty are working the St. Elmo mine and will make a ship ment of ore in few days. This ore IS high grade, some of the assays running to S700, and it is believed all the ore ta- ken from the mine will average between S200 and $500.
 McNally S McNamara are working the Ready Cash mine. But little ore has been shipped as yet from this prop erty, but it is exceedingly rich. A few sacks of ore shipped from this mine av- eIaged 1000 ounces.
 Considerable prospecting is being done all the time. A man named Light struck spleadid ledge last week, the sample taken from across its face giving a 72-ounce assay. All the strikes in the Noon district show high grade ore.
 Mr. Royce, formerly of the Noon camp, is now at work timbering the Yellow Jacket mine, recently purchased by him in the Gro Blanco district. road has been completed to Arivaca and mill is to be erected on the property soon.
 Col. Reed, of the St. Patrick and San Francisco mines, will go east in few days and will purchase a mill to be erected sometime this summer.
 Mir Sarratt is now en route to his old home in Nova Scotia, having been away sixteen years, ten of which have been spent in the west. He will return this fall.

ANCIENT RUINS.
An Abandoned Sonora Mining Settle
 meut.

A correspondent writes the following
 interesting article in reference to an abandoned mining settlement m Sonora; After thorough eXamnation of the question l. have arrived at the conclu- sion that the larger number of mines abandoned in Mexico, were so abandoned a century, more or less, before the Mex
 jeans achieved their independence by throwing off the yoke of the Spanish
 crown. From the days when Cortez overcame the Mexicans, the Spanish caballeros and their retainers metaphor ically commenced to exploit the gold and silver mines that had filled the treas ury at Montezuma. With the arque- buse in one hand and the pick in the other, the peon and the enslaved abori- nee continued thus to toll underground to enrich the crown of Spain for years, while the caballeros, their lances at rest, stood guard at the opening to keep in check the unsubdued Indians, and to over awe any demonstrations of rebel lion upon the part of the unwilling toil- CTS, through whose labors Spain was made the richest and most powerful na- tion of that period. A year ago or there abouts, became acquainted with Padre Jesus Ma a pious and learned Catho- lie priest, who had devoted lifetime to the accumulation of an immense store of archa ological and historical lore. From him I learned that southwest of the city or Hermosillo, Sonora, in the main range, and remote from any settle ment I could find mines, that a century before had given employment to thous and miners or more, that were now idle and that mining city, a monastery, churches, and untenanted dwellings awaited the advent of any stray inves- tigator, who thought it worth his while to examine these remains of once thrifty and prosperous community. at once secured the services of Don Ro man Flores y-- and six good Yaqui Indians, and having them well supplied with provisions and ammunition packed upon a stout burro and the party mount ed upon Mexican broncos, the best and most hardy horse in the world. 1 took my departure for the main range, the backbone of the continent. After mo- notonous journey of six days our party had left the foot hills and stood upon the cumbre de la Sierra. Here we camped and replenished our larder by killing Rocky mountain goat (big horn sheep.) The following morning SenoI Flores, who had been well drilled by our respected friend the padre, took the lead and just as the sun was sinking we stood in the midst of the ruined walls of a city, that upon reckon ing that seven souls dwelt in one abode must have at one time sheltered not less than fifteen thousand human beings. Little more than the bare walls remain ed, though in few cases carved stones and roughly sculptured wooden beams bearing dates and initials attested to its occupation by people of Latin origin. Such was the case in one instance, where over the doorway the following inscrip- tien met the eye:

The Wham Robbery.

The prisoners now in jail charged with the robbery of Paymaster Wham were brought before the commissioner yester- day for preliminary examination, but owing to the absence of two of the sol diers wounded in the fight, who are i'm portant witnesses for the government, the cases all went over until tomorrow at 10 o'clock. There has been no new developments and until the preliminary examinations are held there will proba- bly be nothing more of interest to pub fish. The prisoners are all held in the sum of S10,OO0 each and it is doubtful if any of them can give bail in so large a sum.

FAIR PLAY FOR THE pARsoN.

1t was a touching story which the late Lord
Shaftesbury told Of some of the greatest roughs
in the East End Of London. A young clergy
man in one Of the most wretched parishes had
asked his advice as to how to deal with the
terrible human vice and misery of the place.
Lord Shaftesbury had counseled him to begin
by establishing a ragged school, and had at the
same time furnished the necessary funds. The
school met with immediate success, but 1t was
impossible, in spite of all the Wears efforts, to
induce the people to come to church, and the
young clergyman finally resolved to meet them
by preaching in the open air. He selected one
Of the worst courts, and had the benches from
the school taken there for his hearers to sit
upon, but was dismayed when he came upon
the scene to see the front rows occupied by a
number of the most notorious roughs of the
neighborhood, who, he thought, had come to
break up the services To his surprise, how.
ever, everything went of quietly, and when
the services were over he stepped up to the
leader of the gang, told him he had not ex-
pected to see him there, though he was very
glad to welcome him, and asked what had
brought him. The man said: "Well, sir,
you've been very good to our little kids, so
said to my mates, Parsons going to preach IN
court on Sunday night: it's roughish place;
let's go and see fair play" That's what brought

New York world.i
Among the novel patterns in walking
sticks brought over from the Paris Exposi-

most bulky ones, which have proved very
