Is This a Fish Story?

Mir. c. Hallet arrived here on
 Monday after an extended prospect ing trip over in the grand canon of the Colorado river. In getting in- to that country about four weeks ago, he went from here via Piareah,
 and thence across the Buckskin molntIins. Following an old de- serted trail down gorges, cliffs and cafions, over a country apparently never before seen by white men, to the Colorado river, in the deepest part of the canon about six miles above Lees Ferry. Here he was surprised to find an old half-breed Indian who had evidently not seen a human being for twenty years, and whom he induced to put him over the river by means of an old log canoe. While prospecting around the towering cliffs, on the east side of the river and having been attracted by what appeared to be a blanket vein, he had scaled these perpendicular walls for hun dreds of feet by making niches and clinging to crags when he found himself at the mouth of cavity 20 inches wide and five feet high pro- ceeding straight into the cliff, the entrance of what he found to be the habitation of ancient cliff dwellers. Lighting his candle the hardy pros- pector entered the hole that had been vacant and dark for thousands of years. He passed through two rooms 10x1S feet where were all manner of ancient dishes and other curious things. In a third room he found slab of pure gold weighing over seventeen ounces. We exam ined the gold and would judge it to be about one-ffteenth of circular cake that had been run into an earthen vessel. Geo. F. Henry, of Marysvale, pronounees the gold ab- solutely pure. After a lengthy ex- animation of the ruins Mr. Hallet began a search for the diggings from which such a quantity of gold could be obtained, and thinks he has them located. He proceeds now to Kansas City, and will re- turn in short time with men and money to continue the iayestiga- tion.-Richfeld Advocate.

There are said to be numerous descendants of the ancient Swiss nobility still existing, some of whom, as the Bernese family, trace their pedigree back to the Romans. Oth- CTS owe their distinction to the Dukes of Austria. to the founders of Berne and Fribourg. or to the Dukes of Burgundy. More modern titles were granted by the Kings of Prussia, while families of Huguenot ancestry received their titles from the Kings of France.

From White Hills.

Tom W. Gallagher writing from Kingman regarding the new town of White Hills, says:
 l have just returned from the new mining camp, and after a careful examination of the prospects can safely say that they are all that is represented All men that present openings will admit are being work ed. In my judgment this strike will be an exceptional one. It will go down. A townsite will be laid off in a gulch between the principal claims, and yesterday morning lots were changing hands at prices rang ing from $100 to $500.
 have bought the best location in the town, and am going to com mence building at once, or as soon as I can get the material on the ground. The town is known as White Hills. The only drawback to the camp is scarcity of water, it being T cents per gallon and scarce at that price, but that will soon be remedied, as more water teams are being put on and a number of par ties are about to commence sinking in different localities. Several good outfits could obtain remunerative employment hauling supplies to camp and ore back. The camp is easy of access by teams. k. G. Wood, formerly of Big Bug, has some valuable property here and has also manipulated several small deals in town lots. Joe Chambers, formerly of Boggs, yesterday sold a lot for a valuable consideration. The excitement over town lots has reached feyer heat, but that is not so bad considering the thermome- ter registered 112 to start with.- Phenix Herald.

pointed for the reception OF taxes in a

GAS STOVES

Are Invaluable and should be inyesti-
gated by careful housokeepers.
About 200 arc in use in this city and
the number would be greatly increased
if their merits were fully understood.
As Cookers" theyaro unrivalled and
arc far superior to coal or wood stoves
in cooking meats or vegetables.
AS water Heaters" and 'Ironers"
they are most useful. especially when
the weather is too warm to use the
ordinary stove or range.
As heating apparatus that can be
moved from room TO room In a feWl
minutes by tho housekeeper they ar j.
most convenient.
AS assistant heaters in rooms where
furnace or steam heat will not ascend
on tho windward side they have given
great satisfaction.
AS permanent heaters In rooms that
cannot be reached byheating llues they
have given much comfort.
AS intermittent heaters, where heat
Is wanted only an hour or two at
timo. they are economical.
For Offices and stores, when the
weather is rather warm for furnace
fires, they may prevent sickness.
For spring and autumn use, whom
mild days make furnace fires oppres-
sIvo, troublesome and expensive, they
are comfortable and economical.
AS fires that can DO startod in a min
ute and eXtlnGuished in less time, they
arc most satisfactory.
As heaters that avoid ASHES. COAL
GAS and Dl' 81 thoy arc valued by pru-
dent housekccpers.
Modern Gas Stoves IRE not only use-
