Very Ancient Americans:

One OF the most fruitful or recent arch
geological expeditions undertaken in this
country has just returned to Washington
with tale Of adventure aud discovery,
the result Of search in the barren waste
OF the far southwest for the ashes and
crumbled ruins Of lost races and forgot
ten civilizations. Early in the Summer
DIR. j. Walter Fewkes, explorer for the
bureau Of ethnology, with DIR. Walter
Hough Of the chronological department Of
the National Museum, left Washington
for portions Of Arizona and New Mex
leo. The two explorers proceeded direct
ly to the eastern boundary Of Arizona, not
far from Fort Defiance. According to the
traditions in which they had gotten scent
of the buried treasures to be excavated
there once lived in those parts ancient
people, said 10 be relatives Of the Zunii,
which tribe, long before the discovery of
Columbus, occupied the site OF the famous
Seven Cities Of Cibola. found three cen
turtles ago by Francisco Vasquez de Cor
onado, In the valleys of the Rio Zuni. An
Indian trader, who had squatted there
several years ago, was the sole occupant
Of the site of this strange city when the
explorers found it. This squatter had
torn down all save n small corner of the
circular walls, Of whose stones he had
built for himself a substantial habitation.
Previous to his arrival the ruin had been
well preserved, standing to n considerable
height. The small cells or houses built
In the walls had been repeated upward
about four tiers of stories. The ancient
spring which once had dubbed in the
midst Of the central courtyard was cleared
by the ingenious squatter after 1t had
been sealed by the dust for centuries.

Wants Accurate Reports.

Secretary Wilson of the Department Of
Agriculture has returned to Washington
from a ten days visit to Ohio, where he
travelled among the farmers. He said:
"As soon as the present crop season is
over 1t Is my purpose thoroughly to reor-
ganize the division of statistics, and as far
as possible consolidate the system with
the weather bureau, as the character of
the work is very similar. The plan which
propose to put into operation is to have
an agent in each State. Where his salary
Is large enough to bring him under the
civ:i service law n most rigid and practi-
cal examination will be exacted before he
Is appointed. With such an agent and
an intelligent correspondent in each town
ship the data collected by the division Of
statistics will be as reliable as it Is posi-
Bile to make it. The entire force will be
recognized and overhauled. ! am deter
mined that there shall be no guess work
in the reports Of the department and aim
to have all the reports as complete and
reliablea as are those of the weather bureau
at present. With weekly reports on the
condition Of the crops, the kind of wealth
or that has prevailed in every section of
the United States and its effects upon the
different soils and crops, 1t will be posi-
bic to make our monthly reports so accu-
rate that experts who desire to figure out
the yield and probable amount of various
crops can do so for themselves. At the
end of the crop season a review Of the
conditions that have prevailed, as shown
in the weekly and monthly reports, will
enable us to make an annual report in
which n close estimate can be made of
the amount produced of certain crops"
