Ancient Skeletons.

Another ancient skeleton was yesterday brought to light in the sewer excayatiop in the alley be- tween Jefferson and Madison streets, near Pinal. It was that of an adult, 5 feet 7 inches in height. The skull was of the Toltec type, with a high, straight forehead. None of the bones could be saved, as exposure to the atmosphere caused them to disintegrate and return to the orig inal line only a few minutes after being dug out. Near by were found an almost perfect stone axe, fine grained flat rock, evidently used as a sharpening instrument, and a small white clam shell. A short distance west ashes were encounter ed. All were found at a depth of three and one-half feet. This is the fourth one encountered in the sewer trenches.
 There is nothing that so substan- tiates the generally accepted theory of 9 vast population in this valley in the days of long ago as these frequent discoveries of the remains of those prehistoric people. Upon almost every acre of this vast ex- panse can be found at least faint trace of an ancient habitation, and under foot the searching spade or blow soon finds the sepulchre of one who there lived in the days long agone. Yet these ancients, for the most part, burned their dead and placed the ashes, in funeral urns, in family burial plots, often of con- siderable size. Only the remains of certain individuals, presumably those of high station, were given what we would term burial, and these were oft walled up in cement tombs within their very habitations. Truly, these Toltecs seemed, like the Egyptains of old, to love to con template death and to keep ever near them the forms of those who had penetrated the mysteries of the great unknown.-Gazette.

The Bore of the Colorado.

One of the most daring trips that can be undertaken and fully as thrilling as anything done by Stan- ley in duskv Africa, was recently accomplished by a Yuma man. He sailed along down the Colorado and out into the Gulf of California, skirting the coast of the peninsula down to Los Angeles bay, where the Cranz Bros.' big gold bonanza is situated.
 One who has never experienced & flood or waterspout ean appreeS- ate the "bore" of the Colorado at it's mouth, where the incoming tide of the Pacific fills the gulf, and it in turn rises thirty feet at each flood tide, suddenly forcing the waters of the Colorado up stream like a mill race. The sound of the "bore" can be heard miles away, roaring from the battle of currents. Many lives have been lost at the turn of the tide, as there is no premonitory sign to the boatman save dull roar and the sight of a threatening tornado of water coming up stream twelve miles an hour. The current of tho river is sucked under the roaring head of the tide, which curls whiten- ing to an alarming height. A com- mon boat has no show when the trouble comes. as so many diverse currents and furious waves strike it at once that the effect is generally demolition and death.-Tucson Star.

ACcoRDING to a Deming dispatch, the Mexican government has given orders to confscate all cattle which cross the line and parties at Las Palomas, where cattle stray back from their ranges on account of su- perior feed, are actually putting this barbar-law into practice. If true, this will not do and Mexico may as we'll know it first as last.

Among other peculiar resources in Arizona, you may observe in the vicinity of Prescott some thing like this: An old rotten pine tree some sixty feet high is used as store house for wood peckers. They have bored till holes on the surface of that tree are as close together as they cah be made, and chucked full of sweet acorns fromtop to bottom. Besides this, every crack and cre- vice is packed full to the very sur face. I believe it is no exaggera- ton to say that one tree, IS inches in diameter, contains five bushels of these nuts. Standing close the tree, it is rare curiosity to ob- servers. Talk about starving in Arizona, when the wood becker stores up food for you.-Prescott Courier.

REPORTS from San Francisco are little more encouraging to cattle men. Tue Butchers Gazette says :: The week under review has been good with both slaughterers and re- tailers. The demand has far ex- ceeded the previous one, and much rough cattle has been disposed of which in dragging market is diff cult at any price. The top notch, however. cannot be quoted at over 51c, although a few very choice steers have brought Sc. The bulk of sales have averaged from 4 !c to 55c. Choice Leifers and cows are little stiffer in price and we ad- vance our quotations 3c. This is owing, no doubt, to a scarcity of second quality steers, and good COWS and choice heifers have been in de- mand. Slaughterers are of the opin- ion that from now on the market will remain very steady, and the chances are that prices will grad ually advance. There are plenty of cattle on hand and the corrals are we'll 6lled up with fairly good arri- vals nearly every day, Receipts of cattle at Butchertown are mostly from the southern part of the state with few from Nevada.

Fight With Bears.

Geo. w. Connors drove in from Pine Flat, Camp Wood district yes terday, with W. R. Monroe, a young man recently from Colorado, who had fight with three bears on Sat urday last about 4 p. m., and was badly chewed and fractured up, says the Prescott Courier. The wound ed man was carried to the office of the Plaza stables, where Dr. Davis dressed his wounds. The right arm was badly chewed and the doctor said compound fracture of the ulmer," as he dressed it. A long claw scratch extended across the stomach, near the short ribs; the right shoulder was badly lacerated, several stitches were taken in an ugly gash right behind in the left shoulder, there were two ugly tooth wounds Tn the right foot, which was swollen, and the left thigh was bad ly bitten. The bear had been seen in the vicinity several times. Mon roe started out with a dog and a 40- 82 Winchester rife to hunt the bear. When three miles from home he looked up and saw big cinnamon bear coming down the trail toward him, not thirty feet away. He fired and knocked the bear down. The bear sprang to hcr feet, when anoth- CT bullet stretched her dead. Her cub next put in an appearance, and shot laid it low. Then came great he bear, with savage growls and grinding teeth, rushing on the young hunter, and shot knocked this bear over only few feet away. The bear was on his feet in an in- stant, rushed on Monroe and down. ed him, and in the rough-and -tum- ble fight which followed broke Mon- roe's arm in his teeth and lacerated his shoulder. The gun was knock ed from Monroe's hands as he fell. He had a pocket knife in one of his pockets, but could not get at it. The dog fled while the bear was chewing his master up. Monroe called the dog ; the dog crept up and smelled the bear and bear made a dash for the dog. Monroe ran for a tree, grabbed a limb with his un- broken arm, and was pulling hIm- self up when the bear rushed on him again, bit him in the left thigh, grabbed his right foot, and, had not Monroe's shoe come of, the bear would have pulled him down. The bear walked off with the shoe in his mouth, looking back at the same time, laid down few feet off, be- hind a pile of rocks, and died. Monroe walked three miles oyer the rocks back to Connor's ranch.

THE Republican party of Arizona is playing . double game. In the southern part of the territory, where it is we'll known there exists bit ter prejudice against all who belong to that church, they do not hesitate to use that prejudice for their ad- vantage, and consequently continue their old-time practice of casting slurs upon all Mormons. In this and Graham counties the Republi- cans are pattlng the same people or the back, taking them into their councils, placing them on their ticket, and assessing them ten per ONntyof what they are to receive, if elected, for campaign purposes, in the hope they can deceive a suffi- cient number of them to enable the leaders of the Republican party to obtain control of the county gov ernment, that they may bleed the tax payers as in days of yore. The leaders of the Republican party to- day, were the leaders eight years ago. We have the same fight to make this year that was made in 1886. But, we are digressing. The following published in the Tucson Citizen, the leading Republican pa per in the southern part of our ter ritory, will convince any one of the truth of the statement with which we commenced this article. It was sent to that paper as a special dis patch from Flagstaff, while the Ter ritorial Democratic Convention was in session, and is as follows:
 LATER-The Graham county del egation came in by way of Albu- querque. There are four bishops in the party. They left their prayer books at home, but brought their thirst along. They are jolly good fellows of unlimited capacity. Their arrival called for another taking of the census, and another, and anoth- CT, and another alexiteric inocula- tion against cholera.
 l joined the good bishops in their ocult observations and am feeling as shaky as Hamburg liner.
 The Solomonville Bulletin, in commenting on the above, says
 The implication in the above that the Mormons are whiskey drinkers as a class is base slarder. The Mormons are nearly all farmers and in Graham county there is less whiskey drank among them than among farmers as a rule. There is not one in ten who ever tastes whis- key. As 8 class they are sober, in dustrious and create none of the criminal expense which is such a burden on Arizona to-day. The Republicans hate the Mormons for no other reason than that they vote

It seems to be the general opinion that something substantial will be done this season on the great Arizo- na and Sonora canal. Those con- nected with the company of course do not say much, butexpensive sur- veys are certainly not being made for nothing.

the Democratic ticket, and they never miss an opportunity to abuse and slander them.
 The news gatherer for the Citizen could not let slip the opportunity, but must hit our delegation a slap in the face. In the body of the dis patch we find the following, which is as dirty and malicious as that part referring to Graham county:
 The delegation from Apache are expected in on the next train and quite a crowd will be in waiting. The delegation is knoyn to be sol idly Mormon and for their wives sake, are entitled to distinguished consideration.
 Here is an assertion which Is ab- solutely false. The delegation was not solidly Mormon. There were two Mormons in the delegation, and they are as good and true men as can be found within the boundary lines of Arizona. There is the plain statement that they were all Mor- mons, and the covert insinuation that they were all polygamists. One ; oo f,Ioo 10 fba ofbar
 What more will 1t take to con vince our Mormon friends that the Republicans are trying to use them simply to further their hellish de- signs, and when that is accomplish ed, turn and trample them in the dust as has been done heretofore.
