NEW MILITARY TELEGRAPH LINE

General A. w. Greeley, chief signal officer, U. $. A., arrived from the west Thursday morning and proceeded by ambulance to Fort Grant. Returning from the post Friday evening, he took the train for the east the following morning. Understanding that his visit had some relation to the new military telegraph lines between Fort Grant and Mammoth and between Bis bee and San Bernardino, Burt Dunlap and the editor of The News called on the general to ascertain his views re- garding these lines. General Greeley is a pleasant and affable gentleman of scholarly mien, and, considering the arduous nature of his trip and the weather encountered, was looking quite well. AS to the line connecting Fort Grant with Aravaipa and Nam moth, he stated his belief that it sub served a good purpose and said that so long as the post commandant at Fort Grant considered it an aid to the ser vice he would recommend it's being maintained. Its chief value is as a means of giving settlers in the Ara vaipa and San Pedro valleys early mo- tice of Apache outbreaks, and of com municating with detachments in the eld.-Sulphur Valley News.

Cost of 8 Cardinals Hat.

The red hat of a cardinal costs hin. more money than kings pay for any ex- cept their very best crowEs. Before accepting 1t the grateful rrelate must make offerings to the the propaganda and to his titular church at Rome. and pay fees to long list of officials, rang ing from chamberlains at the vatican down to the cooks and sweepers and the soldiers of the Swiss guards. Indee d, the new cardinal has to pay fees atevery step from the moment of his creat ion to the occasion of his receiving the red hat in public consistory, and when all is over and done finds himself ou. of pocket to the extent of s, ,500 at least. If the cardinal is without means to de- fray the cost of his elevation. and if he is to reside in Rome, the vatican is ready to make him loan to be repaid in in stallments out of his yearly allowances.

are found, it is said, certain cliff dwell ings which are built on so small a scale that people of ordinary size could not possibly have inhabited them The doors would not admit an average man, the pots and pans of earthenware seem like mere toys for babies; the flights of steps up the cliffs are as lad ders for veritable brownies, and the stone graves are no bigger than soap boxes. But Dr. Fewkes declares that more investigation is needed before these data can be accepted scientifi- cally. The little pots, for example, might be designated for purposes of re- ligious ceremonial, and not for domes- tic use. Mummies of astonishingly small human beings have been dis covered in some of the cliff houses, and they have proved to be the desic- cated corpses of infants, dead nobody

ARIZONA PYGMIES.
Traces of Their Existence Found by
 the Bureau of Ethnology.

The notion of an occupancy of 'blow holes" in volcanic lava by hu- man beings for dwelling purposes is decidedly new, says the Washington D. C., correspondent of the Globe-Dem- ocrat. It has been brought to the at tention of science by information gath cred by Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, of the Bureau of Ethnology, incident to a re- cent study trip through Arizona and New Mexico. The blow holes in ques- tion are in the neighborhood of Mount Taylor, and it is alleged that in earlier times they were inhabited by pygmies of race now wholly extinct. To at test their former presence, there are little stone houses built within these strange volcanic caverns, and some of the tiny mansions are more than half filled with lava, which has flowed in through the doors and windows. This proves, of course, that at least one great Outburst of subterranean fire has occurred since the dwarfs took up their residence in that locality.

THE PROFESSIONAL EXPERT.

The professional mining expert is of ten unjustly and unmercifully assailed by the people who cannot be made to believe that there is any such thing as scientific mining. The grizzled, hoary prOspector of the old school still re- fuses to be guided by the conclusions of those who rely to an extent upon books and college professors. Some times the prospector is right, and then again he is wrong; it altogether de- bends on whether the expert knows his business. But whether right or wrong the sentiments of many of the old lowing lines:
 I am jes an oP prospector, tramp the
 mountains every day,
 An it isn't very often that I make
 preaching pay,
 But I've heerd these minin' experts
 singing scientific stuff,
 Till I'm gettin' sort O weary O their
 hifalutin' bluff,
 I hold that books an science never hit
 upon a lead,
 Never built two modern wonders, sich
 as Cripple Creek an Creede; But that every payin prospect in the
 hilly west was struck
 By common sense an judgment, an by gol darned luck As I said at the beginin' it is seldom thet I preach,
 An I never fool with language out O ordinary reach, But when science gets a-trampin on the toes O common sense, Then it's time to show your hand against the scientific gents. may never make winin' with the shovel an the pick, But you'll always find me tryin and a keepin' up my lick,
 An if I should happen on the purity yellow truck, will give the bulk O credit to my gol darned 1upx

 Capt. J. c. Beatty arrived here Mon day from a short business trip to Los Angeles. The genial captain paid the Sentinel office pleasant call Thurs day. In speaking of his mine he said the vein at the 100-foot level was forty feet in width and continued to grow richer and wider as depth is obtained. He had ordered ten-stamp mill but as the mine was proving bonanza he countermanded the order and will erect in the near future much larger mill. The mine is known as the Buena Vista and is located some twenty miles above this place on the Colorado river.-Yuma Sentinel.
 MT. James F. St. Clair, a mining man interested in the Picacho mining district near Yuma, is a visitor to Tombstone. MT. St. Clair states that his section is proving a bonanza pro- ducer. Eastern capitalists have ac- quired some property there which in every instance are proving valuable producers for their owners. The Capella, White Gold, Golden Dream ] Monday and Leon groups of mines owned by various companies, are among those working, and the erection of mills on two of these properties will soon be in progress.
