A DESERTED CITY.
Beautiful Buildings Discovered by q
Miner in Mexico.

Malvern w. Cresworth, an English
mining man well-known throughout
Southwest Mexico, arrived at Ma
pima, Mexico, recently from long
overland journey through the Sierra
Madre Mountains, his starting point
being Culican, near the Pacific Coast,
in the State of SinalOa. He claims,
according to the Cincinnati En-
uuirer, to have visited a section OF
country never before visited by a
white man of the present generation,
and that he discovered large and
beautiful deserted city. He states
that the wonderful city is situated
about eighty miles west of Lake Col
orado, in the very recess of the Sierra
Madres. 1t occupies a basin about
ten miles long by eight miles wide.
Perpendicular cliffs surround the
basin on all sides, rising to height
of hundreds of feet. The only en-
trance to the city is through a deep
canyon, which has width of about
thirty feet. Mr.. Cresworth states
that he stumbled onto the secret en-
trance quite by accident. He gives
vivid description of the deserted
city. The buildings, he says, are
constructed of red stone blocks, re-
sembling granite. The business
blocks are two or three stories in
height and are entirely different in
architectural designs from the struc-
lures built by the Aztecs and Span
iards. The streets are very narrow,
but are laid out in regular order
In the city is "a small park which is
overgrown with rare flowers and trop-
ical vegetation. He entered the bust
ness houses and decaying residences,
but found very little of value except
some remarkable and strange orna-
ments made of stone. He believes
that the city was looted at the time
that it was deserted whenever that
may have been. No records or writ
ings of any kind were found, nor did
he discover any skeleton that would
give an idea as to the race of people
who at one time inhabited the city.
None of the natives at that section
of country had ever heard of the de-
serted city. Mr.. Cresworth is max
ing diligent inquiry of them. Mr..
Cresworth's story is very startling
and remarkable, but it is believed by
those to whom he has related his ex-
perience. He will organize an eX-
petition to make thorough eXplora-
! ton of the city.

The Wise Men of Gotham.

As King John was passing through
the village of Gotham, on his way to
Nottingham, he proposed to make a
short cut across the meadows, The
villagers, thinking that whatever
road king took thenceforward be-
came a public road, objected, much
to Johns annoyance.
Shortly afterward he sent some
messengers from his court to learn
the cause of the villagers rudeness.
Hearing of the coming of the kings
servants, the villagers hib upon the
following plan of turning aside the
monarch's wrath:
When the messengers arrived, they
found some of the inhabitants en-
gagged in trying to drown an eel in
pond; others were busy rolling cheeses
down hill, so that they might run
to Nottingham for sale, while third
set were employed in placing hedge
round bush on which a cuckoo had
perched, in order that they might
enjoy perpetual spring.
The kings servants thought they
had come among village of fools,
and, having reported what they had
seen, John formed the same opinion,
and troubled himself no more about
what he considered their inciyility to
him. Hence people have talked about,

act of the legislature. In the centre

the hitching posts and the sidewalks

History repeats itself in the south
western territories in the recent
building of great storage reservoirs
for the turning of the desert into
arabic land through irrigation. These
things were done in the same region
in days before Columbus, by race OF
Aztec kinship, now surviving only in
a few scattered villages. Traces OF
their old reservoirs, canals and bitches
are still visible in tracts now being
again developed by town and irriga-
tion companies. The town of Eddy,
Lincoln County, New Mexico, and
the productive country about it is
one of the best examples of the re-
suits of this modern application OF
old modes of agriculture. The con-
struction of dams with proper escape
ways for the carrying away OF floods
and silt has passed the experimental
stage and has been reduced to a
practical and profitable science APP
piled on vast scale. The cost OF
the dam recently built at Eddy,
which is to form distributing reser-
voir, was 1926, 600 Above this a
great dam costing 5000, 900, built for
reserve storage of the rivers flow,

James Beckwourth, the famous
cout, who became war chief under
The name of Medicine Calf among
the Crows, has related to the NortR
American Review, an extraordinary
feat OF deviation which great war
thief of the Crow Indians performed
In his presence on the eve OF leading
his warriors to battle. The chief
was an aged man and protested to
have premonition of death For
many moons he had led the Crows
successfully against their hereditary
foes, the Blackfeet. 1t was not his
heart that failed him now, but his
medicine had lost its protency.
In the dusk Of the gray morning
he led his braves out on an open
prairie. and, setting his shield on
edge some fifteen or twenty feet in
front of him, pointed to it with his
lance. AS the eyes Of the fighing
men rested upon the embossed sur
face of the buckler it appeared to
rise slowly from the ground until 1t
reached a height corresponding to
the head of the chief; 1t then, by the
same invisible means, passed through
the air until it obscured his face and
hid it from bis warriors.
A thrill of horror pervaded the
assemblage, but no word was spoken.
1t was taken as an emblem OF his
approaching eclipse, his Punishment
from this world, his journey to the
land of the Great Spirit, to which all
Indians, good and bad alike, went
with unhesitating faith. The great
chief was killed that morning.

The Wives of Two Noted Painters,

Titian's greatest misery was his
wife, who was domineering, dicta-
torial woman who insisted that he
should render an account to her Of
every item of his expenditures. The
wretched man, who was very wealthy
was often put to the sorest straits to
buy glass of wine without letting
his wife know anything about the
transaction. Berghem, the Dutch
painter had scolding wife. He was
lazy, and she was thrifty and insist.
ed that he should keep at work His
studio was over the kitchen, and
from time to time Frau Berghem
pounded the ceiling with a pole she
kept for that purpose, and Berghem
responded by stamping to assure her
that he was awake and attending to

A BOOMING YOUNG CITY.

Not everybody knows that a
booming young city is coming to
the front out forty miles north of
Texarkana, on the Texarkana & Ft.
Smith railroad, but it is a fact new
erthless
Winthrop is the name of this city,
and, in view of its fine location, at
the soon to-be terminus of one rail-
road, and the principal inland town
on another, its fame is not surpris-
ing. The Texarkana & Fort Smith
road will soon be completed to it,
and branch railroad will be built
out to Rocky Comfort. This will
give it two railroads,
Winthrop is located on a beauti-
full, high plateau, midway between
the Red and Little rivers, with no
city of consequence nearer than
Texarkana, and being only six
miles from the Indian Territory,
may hope for a big trade from this
fertile region.
A splendid opportunity is now
afforded investors, as well as per-
sons seeking a desirable loca tion for
for a new home, The following
persons have bought lots, within
the past few days; NJ, II. Bales
