to take out the rellcS intact as they may find them. They are Hork1szK open drifts along fbe level of the streets Of tho old cir which Ia soisfe nine fest below the p1esent Stirface. The floors of the houses are 6fI h.z led clay .soeeihlv forspAd by burn ing huge fires on them while they were in damp state and are mostly found in perfect order. The debris works readily off the hard floors and pavement, and renders 1t in an easy task to keep the true level.
 As so far opened the town would appear to have been a series of rooms, there being no space between the houses, excepting on street fronts, the joining of the houses being indicated by double wall.
 A correct chart of the place is being made, the measurements and general formation of the rooms, houses, streets, etc., being carefully noted. This will give but the ground plan, however, there being no way to tell the original height of the buildings.
 The indications are that the town was destroyed by a hostile force or by an earthquake. The most probable theory is that of destruction by an enemy, and it evidently was conn plete surprise. The freplaces are found to be full of ashes, and have cooking utensils in and about them. Skeletons are lying about in great numbers, none of them having been buried, but are found lying on hard floors, on the streets in all manners of pastures. The absence of trinkets on the bodies and of implements of war fare would further disprove the theory of earthquake, these things having probably been carried off by the vic tors, as was the custom, as is yet, of the barbaric aboriginal tribes of Amer ica. The fact oi the skeletons being found mainly in bushes would further indicate that they had died fighting.
 Earthenware is found unbroken in many of the rooms, which would hardly be the case had the houses tumbled down and killed the occu- pants.
 Everything goes to show that the place had been most throughly footed by those who understand the business, and the present party of explorers can scarcely hope to find anything beyond old pottery and broken hatchet and arrow heads.
 Prosecution of the work is intensely interesting, and attracts groups o people, who sometimes give their as sistance. If few more picks and shovels were provided the work would go on faster.-Jimez Springs Guide. A Young Fiend.
 Yesterday afternoon as Charles N Thomas little son and a son of MT Anderson were playing in yard anC amusing themselves by swinging on g trapeze Mexican boy, aged about four teen, approached and touched lighted cigarette to the hand of Mir.

The Ander son boy was the most badly hurt, hi face being badly burned, eyebrow and hair burned Off and eyeball scorched, but with proper attention his eyesight can be saved. Int Thomas boy also had his face slightly scorched and eyebrows burned of but his most severe hurt was one o his hands, which is severely burned The Mexican boy immediately left and the last seen of him he was nak ing tracks for the Dragons. It is { wonder the children were not killed and that their eyesight was not de stroyed is hardly short of the miracu lous.-Epitarh.
