People who have studied the myth
ology of the North American Indians
state that their traditions run back a
period of nearly 5000 years and tell
of great flood which covered the
earth, the waters of which gradually
receded until there remained only one
great lake in the southwest. In the
depths of this lake sported all the
prehistoric monsters that lived be-
meath the waters, while its vast sur
face was covered with the floating
dead bodies Of huge land animals
that had been drowned in the food.
AS this great inland sea commenced
to evaporate, and the water lowered
day by day, the great mass of strug-
Cling, shrieking monsters were piled
on top of one another, forming
mountains of dying, fiercely fighting
animals that vainly endeavored to
sustain life by crowding into the rap
idly disappearing lake, the last waters
of which sank into the earth in that
particular section that is now known
as Northern Arizona, leaving on
its whilom bed millions of dead
bodies of prehistoric monsters piled
up, forming for miles great noun
tain of flesh and bones. A long, dry
spell followed; the hot sun shone
day after day on this rotting noun
tain of flesh, and great pestilence
spread over the land, which prevailed
until the horrid mass succumbed to
the elements and sank into the earth.
This tradition of the Indians has
been written and related for years
and years. Now comes the recent
dicovery of the great phosphate beds
north of Prescott Junction. How
did they get there? Is not this In
dian tradition as we'll verified as any
of the verifcations of prophesies in
holy writ, or the verifications of an
cient history by the finding Of buried
cities of which they are told? Who
can say that the Indian tradition is
not correct to the letter?-Prescott

from that point to Ottumwa, where
connection will be made with an
other short line extending to Har-
vey, a distance of about fifty miles.
A new road will be constructed from
Harvey directly west to Omaha,

LATE NEWS.
HOW THEY VIEW IT.

WARRINGTON, Jan. 25.-The AsSO-
ciated Press, after the adjournment
of the two houses. today, interviewed
upwards of 100 senators and repre-.
sentatives in regard to the presidents
message. The senator's were much
more cautious about commenting on
the message and the probable out
come than members of the house.
But it was evident that party con-
siderations did not bind members Of
the house in their views, and that a
decided majority was willing TO sus-
tain the president in upholding with
firmness and vigor theposition taken
by this government. Many of them
in expressing their views, said it
seemed to them that the United
States had in some respect, perhaps,
not acted altogether in the right, but
they said they had no doubt that
much should be done by Chile and
that in the end she would comply
with most Of our demands. OF the
message itself the opinions of Demo
Gratis and Republicans alike was that
it was strong presentation of the
case. Some congressman were of
opinion that it was ex-parte state
ments, and that its language might
be stronger than the correspondence
warranted. Members of the foreign
affairs committee of the house were
the most conservative In their views
and said they desired to examine the
correspondence before commenting
freely on the affair. Both senate
and house committees will take up
the matter promptly. The members
of the appropriation committee were
agreed in case the necessity should
arise of enforcing our demands on
Chile, that money would be freely
authorized to be spent to make the
demand successful. Mr.. Egan's con-
duct was discussed quite freely, and
many representatives on the Demo
cratic side thought that his actions
had given considerable provocation,
but at the same time, those members
said, they did not justify the assault
ing and insulting of American sailors.
The most warlike utterances come
from a number of Influential, ,staunch,
southern Democrats and members of
the Massachusetts delegation. Gen.
Cogswell, of Massachusetts, In the
library of tho house addressed a half
dozen or more members who, because
of Chile's size, deprecated hOstIlities
and told them small country must
take the consequences of its actions
the same as a large one and that
Americans must be protected under
all circumstances from unjust
assaults.

realize the fact the better. The
wonderful possibilities of this section
have recently been brought to the
attention of the general public by
the system of irrigating enterprises
recently inaugurated in the counties
of Eddy and Chavez, where during
the past two years thousands of acres
of desert land have been reclaimed.
Hundreds Of families have located
in that section during the past year
and more are arriving daily. Thous-
ands of acres of land are now seeded
to alfalfa, to say nothing of the
many really large and beautiful
orchards and vineyards which have
been, and are continually being set
out. In agriculture, horticulture and
the fattening of cattle lies the great
future of this immense plains coun-
try and without irrigation these in
dustries can never flourish, except on
very limited scale. Irrigation will
do for New Mexico what it has done
for California and the Salt River
valley of Arizona. To.any measure
which will increase the interest in
the subject of irrigation we should
lend every encouragement, not only
as individuals, but as people and
state. The Enterprise earnestly
hopes that the irrigation convention
will be as largely attended as was
that of the miners convention recent
ly held at El Paso.-Silver City

several minutes, until at length the boa

under the strain. and he certainly

matters stood there before venturing
to quit my watery refuge, and the
sight that met my gaze was certainly
one of the liveliest interest. The tiger,
which ponderous but graceful brute
seemed to bear no relationship to the
overgrown cats which are dignified by
that name in South America, looked
every inch the genuine lord Of the Ben
gal forest as he sat there firmly on his
launches. with forepaws extended out
ward and also firmly planted on the
ground. And he needed to put forth
all his strength now, for the capacious
jaws, still crimson with the blood OF
the living meal had wrested from him,
were locked upon the neck of the boa.
while the body of the latter was wound
once and half about the tigers ribs,
passing outward between the fore legs,
and extending thence to low lying
branch of the tree around which the tail
was coiled in a triple fold. And, if the
noble brute appeared the very incarna-

How 4 Town Was Named.

That thriving settlement, Tipperu-
salem City, o. r.. has curious name
and even more curious history. Tip
Jerusalem was founded last year by
Timothy P. Grady and Col. II. NJ. Kauf-
mann, upon whose holdings it was
built. Now Mr.. Tim Grady is q
steadfast lrishman, while Col. kauf-
mann is' proud of an ancestry which
followed Moses to the Promised Land.
Mr.. Grady wanted to call the new city
after his old home-Tipperary. Col.
Kaufmannwas equally anxious to name
it Jerusalem. A squabble resulted, and
for a time it seemed as though the town
was going to be divided into two dis
,tinct municipalities. Finally, however,
a settlement was effected. Young Pat
Grady fell in love with Rebecca Kauf-
mann, and through their interference
the old men shook hands and agreed to
compromise matters by calling the
place 'Tipperusalem." Thus it will re-
main until some fool-ordinance people
come along and. change it.-Brandon

sprang forward and with all my
strength slashed at the taut body of the
boa. The blade, biting all the better
for its wetness. cleaved it's way well
through the scalv hide. and as recov-
cred, somehow. with precision that
never could with deliberatinn have
achieved. cut right into the same spot
and reached the vitals. for in another
moment there was Il general collapse
Of the great reptile; the tail relaxed its
hold Oh the bough. and with a dull
thu,np the body fell prone to the earth.
But death was not instantaneous. for
the snake family are tenacious of life,
and for quite awhile after his fall this
specimen continued to fiutter and writhe
about most alarmingly. This perform
ance did not in the least interest the
tiger, however. SO soon as the tension
was relaxed he freed himself. and for an
anxious instant feared that he contem-
plated renewing the interrupted attack
on me- He stood regarding me in an
inquiring sort of way, and drawing my
revolver, prepared to give him warm
reception. But he neither attempted to
modest me nor to emulate the traditional
example of Androcles' lion and fawn
gracefully on me. For about quarter
of a minute those seriously inquisitive
eyes were turned on mine: then, with q
stately lash of his tail, he turned and
lcisurely trotted off into the forest
shades, sadder if not much wiser
pQacher.

NEyvA LAREDO. Mexico, Dee o.
Reports, although conflicting. come
from every part of the northern side of
the republic indicating the growth Of
the revolutionary movement. Dis
patches are rushing to and fro from the
Mexican officials to the United States
officers on the frontier, and in the near
future there will be a genuine revolu-
ton in Mexico.
Information was received here Thurs
day that Gen. Estrada. stationed at
Mier, about IS miles down the Rio
Grande, was missing from his post of
duty, and it is thought he has joined
the revolutiouists. who are marching
toward the interior of Mexico This
is another indication that the outlook
is serious for President Diaz. A courier
says that the reported desertion of
Gen. Estrada is confirmed and that he
is now at the head of Thousand men
who are in every way familiar with
the Businesses of the interior.
1t is impossible to gain any informa-
ton from those high in authority, as
everyone is under the strictest orders
not to make public the kilograms, but
this much is positively known. that
there was a battle the 18th on Mexi-
can soil, near Guerrero about 80 miles
from the river. between the Mexican
troops and revolutionists. with VIC
tory for the latter.
There were five soldiers killed in the
skirmish. the revolu,ionists completely
routing the federal troops, and in u
body 400 strong continued on their
march toward the interior When last
heard from they were within few
hours march of the town of Coralvo.
which is situated 80 miles from the
river. near the Candida mountains,
and so miles from the Mexican National
railroad.
Another battle took place ON the 10Th,
when ten men were killed at Coralvo,
where there is a garrison At this place
five Of the Mexican soldiers were burned
bali alive A courier with official in
formation gave it out that the revolu-
tionists gave and asked no quarters.
There is no lack of funds to carry out
the movement.
