Under the direction Of Prof
Putnam, chief of the department
of ethnology OF the Worlds Col
i dmbian Exposition, a party Of
men has been making extensive
excavations of the prehistoric
mounds in Ohio and Indiana, and
according to reports received from
time to time most gratifying sue
cess has been met with. Many
skulls, skeletons, copper hatchets,
pipes, ornaments, altals of burnt
clay weighing 400 to 500 pounds,
flint spear heads, etc, have been
secured. la one mound, situated
near Anderson station, Indiana,
1882 flint spear heads and knlv,
were discovered. The bulk was 80
great that 1t took four horses
and "A large corn wagon to haul
the tiints 10 camp. The total
weight was a trifle over 4,7O0
pounds. Tho implements were
found in layer one foot in
thickness, extending over a space
20x30 feet. Many of them were
over s or 10 inches in length;
some of them even larger, while
the majority ranged from 7 to s
inches. They are made of grey
flint found only in Indiana, and
show that there were from fifty
to seventy flakes detached from
each one in order to fashion il.
The largest find of flint imple-
ments made III one place hereto
fore In America did not exceed
l,SOO specimens. La one of the
cayerns occupied by primitive
man in the valley of the Seine,
below Parls, $500 implements
were found in one deposit As
it Is reasonable to conclude that
nearly one days work was ex-
pended on each implement, aud
as each one exhibits almost absp.
late perfection as far a flint
chipping Is concerned, the find
will be of special value to ethnol'
ogical research.

ADISCOURAGING OUTLOOK

Col. W. S. Hopewell, manager of
the Nathan Grayson Cattle com
pany, of Sierra county, one of the
largest cattle corporations in the
southwest, was a south bound pas
senger Tuesday morning. In re,
ply to the Reporters inquiries. in
relation to the cattle business, he
replied.
owe are getting MS many of our
cattle into the mountains as pos
sible. OF course we have shipped
a great many out of the territory.
The losses the coming winter will
undoubtedly be very heavy and
will reach 90 per cent, if not
higher percentage, liz many locali-
ties. The drouth and consequent
failure of grass extends over
very large section of range country,
includes all of New Mexico, Ariz-
ona and western Texas, SO that the
loss will be widespread"
"Will not cattle bring enough
more next spring to make good
the loss?"
Il think not" replied Col. Hope

ducing section is not afflicted, ana
cattle enough will be marketed to |

CALL OF THE SOUTH WEST
SILVER CONVENTION.

To the prospectors, miners, mine
and claim owners Of New Mexico,
Arizona and Western Texas:
The depression that exists
throughout the southwest is due
to the unnatural depreciation of
silver and to the evil effects caused
by that portion of the alien act
that prohibits the investment of
foreign capital in mining property
in the territories The object of
the Southwest Silver Convention
that is to convene on tho 10Th day
of December, 1891, IN Ell Paso,
Texas, is to discuss and take steps
to remedy these evils. No other
subject but the silver question and
the me dlfication'of the alien act
will be entertained by the conven-
ton, and all attempts to pervert
the object of this mass meeting of
miners by the introduction of
questions foreign to the principles
for which it was called, will be sup
pressed. The restoration of silver
to It's normal value or parity with
gold 1929 and the obliteration of
an unjust discrimination against
the miners operating in the terrific
RES, will engage the entire energy
and time of the assembled miners
of the southwest.

The members had been invited to bring specimens of their farm products, also to report on the same A large number responded thereto. Dur ing recess the samples were inspected and some of them tested, all agreeing that the biscuit and honey, cake, celery could not be surpassed while the dis play of fruit, cereals and vegetables was very fine. ... The patrons of this post office are very indignant at the change in time of dispatching mails. With the present arrangement mail going south is not dispatched from the R. R. post office at Falls Village until nearly 3 D.. m., while the north bound mail lies in the Falls Village office until about 80 p. m. Mails for Bridgeport and Pitts field are not delivered the same day they are forwarded from this office. We un- derstand it is the aim of the Department to furnish the very best service possible but if the officers in charge should look into this arrangement they would find the poorest service possible.

THESEvENTEENTHDEAD
Another Bridgeport Suicide
 Club Man Kills Himself.
ONLY TWO MEMBERS REMAIN ALIVE

They Have Died by All Sorts of Methods Except by Drowning and the Use of Poison-John Kopp the Name of tho
 Last Victim.
 BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Nov. 10. - John Kopp, German, lately employed as a cabinetmaker at Wheeler & Wilson's shop, has hanged himself to rafter in the cellar of his home at 10 Evitts lane, East Bridge port. He was one of the last members of the famous Suicide club of this city, and it was time for another member to die. He had been member of the club from it's beginning and had officiated at the funeral of nearly all the members and often said that his turn would come in short time.
 Only Two Members Left.
 There are only two other members ot the club now living. Every member who joined when the club was first projected has died by violence and his own hand. They have died in almost every style. Some have hanged themselves. some have wooed death with revolver or shotgun, others have thrown themselves in front of rail- road trains, but none have taken poison. That was considered too easy and un- worthy the members of the Suicide club.
 Kopp Was the Seventeenth.
 Kopp is the seventeenth man of the club who has killed himself. One man disap- peared and no trace of him has ever been discovered. It is believed that he has committed suicide by drowning, but the members of the club refuse to accept that version, as drowning is prohibited by the rules. The two remaining members of the club are expected to do their duty.
