AT SOUTH PASS.
The Lockling-Millsr Claim to be
Worked.

The Lockling-Mil1sr Claim to be
Worked.
Interest in the Locking Miller claims
at South Pass is again awakened by the
fact that mining man Of means is to
open up the claims, sink shaft to Is or
100 feet in depth and il the prospect
continues further development on larg-
er scale will be prosecuted.
Mr.. p. j. Mccoy, a mining man of
Utah and California has been looking
over the field and spent two days at the
mines. Hes was so we'll satisfied with
the prospects that papers and agree
ments were yesterday drawn up and
signed between the owners and Mr.. Nc
Coy, which will mean the immediate
opening up of the claims and the sink
ing Of shaft.
In convention with Prospector rep
resentativs yesterday, MIR. Mccoy
stated that the indications were most
favorable at the strike, and that he
will sink shaft with the expectation of
finding the lead con tin uing and the pos
sibiIity Of opening a big ore deposit
which, in the opinion OF Dearly all the
old miners, underlie this section.
Mr.. Mccoy was surprised to find
such rich specimens taken from here,
and the banning OF gold from almost
any piece of float or quartz on the sur
face; all of which indicates that this
must come from some hidden ledge in
the vicinity.
Work will be watched With interest
and it is to be hoped the projectors will
meet with success and encouragement
as work procseds. -Prospector.

Indian Allotment.

j. Roe Young, agent of the Pima and
Maricopa reservation, and p. McCor-
mick, inspector of the Indian bureau of
the interior department, arrived in Phoe
nix from Sacatou, says the Republican.
They are lately from ella Bend, where
the allotment OF land &c the Pimas on
the township reservation at that point
is nearly complete. OF the %, 600 aci es,
only $500 have been found available for
allotment and this has been given to
the Indians on the basis OF 10 acres TO
each man, woman or child of the appli-
csnte. All of this is under the irrigatir z
scope OF the Gils Bend canal, 5, ZOO acres
being also covered By the South River
side canal. The idea seems popular
with the dusky wards OF the government
The next allotment will be made on

TIRE ARIZONA MUMMY.
Remains Thought to be Those of an
Aztec Warrior.

An Arizona hunter, named John Nc
Carly. has brought into Prescott num-
my that is believed to be ante-date, the
Indians, and the Courier claims, is OF q
decidedly different type. de found it
while hunting lion, which he bad freed
and brought down on the Verde canyon.
In cliff dwelling he had found q sealed
chamber 7x9 feet. Tesring it opel he
met 0risley sight. 1t was this mummy
kneeiing on soap weed mat, with the
body upright and the head erect, the
long arms hanging straight down from
the shoulder. In life he was about five
feet seven inches high. In one hand
was grasped a stone ak, in the other q
bundle of barbed, fiint-Aeaded arrows.
AS the air rushed into the vault, the
rawhide shafts of the arrow-hesds and
the raw-hide handle of the stone Ak
crumbled to pieces, as did the mat and
mantle which covered the mummy.
The fine brown hair, sbout two feet in
length, fell from the head. In the cave
we're found several earthepware bowls,
a tortoise she'll anG about 1,SO0 worth
of the best grade Turquoise in the rough,
just ss it was taken from the ledge.
The pieces ranged in size FROM the di-
mensioas of walnut to those of hens
egg.
There is no flint in this part of the
country, AMI no known vein of turquoise
in the western hemisphere of the width
of these specimens. whore the ancients
got them is a mystery. The skull is
thick ard the BRAIN cavity small. The
lower jaw is very heavy md projecting.
The teeth are large, strongly Get and in
tact. A ~ hat fits closely on tie bare
skull. The body Is sm4ll, shoulders
narrow, legs and arm bones large and
strong; legs long, arms and fingers phen
omem8!ly long There is almost M
forehead; the back of the head is large
and round; the skull has q sharp incline
down to the eyebrows. aud the hair
seems to have grown close to the eyes.
The mummy Is complete, and seems to
have dried up without decomposition
The absence of high cheek bones and
the fue hair indicate that be was not re-
lated to the Indians of today.

PENSION LEGISLATION.
Pickler's Bill VIII be Brought For
ward and Time Given for
Discussion.

WASHINGTON, April 27-Pension legis-
lation to be taken up by this congress
ives the subject Of conference by Re-
publican leaders today IN Speaker Reeds
room. There were present the speaker,
Chairman Pickler, of the committee on
pensions, and Representatives, Drngley,
Dalzell and Payne. Pickler's general
pension bill. as reported to the house by
the committee was discussed minutely
as the committee on rules desired to be-
come familiar with the terms of the bill
before deciding whether to give 1t time
for discussion in the house.
Il was decided it would be good policy
to take up the pension question, and the
bill will be brought forward in the house
and ample time given for debate on it IN
few dsys.
Under this bill the discontinuance or
reduction of pensions will be unlawful
except for fraud, clerical errors,
mistake in the facts or recovery from
disabilities.
Commissioners Rsum's Interpretation
of the act of 1890, which has been large
ly reversed by the present administra-
ton, will be restored and pensioners
dropped from the rolls by these reversals
would be restored on application. The
securing of pensions Will be considerably
facilitated.
One of the changes which Speaker
Reed and bis colleagues desire, is to drop
the section of Pickler's bill which estab-
fishes q presumption that disabilities
we're incurred through vicious habits.
Picker estimates that with the bill in
operation. the pension budget will be in
creased from two to three millions a
year
