meter. These pits are the remains of the
prehistoric turquoise beds. All around
the pits the soil consists exclusively of
decomposed coarse sand and gravel,
among which one may pick up in a few
minutes a handful of small turquoise
stones of various shapes, sizes and coli
ors.
Some portions of the district show only
turquoise veins while a few miles away
We're found stones in the form of kid
neys or various sizes from that of a pea
to large beam The turquoises are gen
orally found in what is known among
miners as pockets and small seams
principally as pockets. They occur in
considerable quantity, and days work
results in finding a hatful of stones of
varying value.
The other pits bear every evidence of
having been worked by some ancient
race, according to Professor Eisen's re-
port. There are TO be found in them
fragments of Aztec pottery and prehis-
toric stone implements used in chipping
the rock. The polished stones found are
in the same shape as those in the pos
session of the Aztecs. of Montezuma's
time.
Wherever one of the old mines Is
found it is accompanied by picture
writing on surrounding rocks. The
hieroglyphics are found only on bluffs
of basalt.

under Washington That great and good
man, Robert f. Lee, lives today in
memory as patriot to his country and
a martyr to his cause. No family has
ever produced as many or as successful
warriors as the Lee family. For three
generations there has been a Lee 1t
West Point. That reputation is now
sustained by a son of Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee, a lad who would enlist by the side
of his father and fight as his ancestors
fought. IT, as decided by Lord Sails

has been engaged in active warfare
from the time of the blowing up of the

He was so severely wounded at Chan
cellorsville that he was obliged to retire
for while. He distinguished himself in
the Richmond campaign in 1864 and was
breveted major general in December of
the same year. He was made colonel of
the 4Oth infantry, U. S. A, July 2S, 1856,
and was transferred to the 5th infantry
in March. 1869.
In 1876 he was sent with his forces to
Dakota, where he subjugated the hos
tile Sioux and other Indians. He was in
command of the department of the Col
umbia until he became the head of the
army.
Gen. Wesley Merritt graduated from
the Military Academy in 1860. But it was
not until he went out into Indian war

1877.
He continued in doing wild west fight

He drove them back to the Red Cloud

up the command of the regiment only to

SEA DOGS AT ODDS
OVER A BOAT RACE
The Crews Of the Dolphin and the
Fern Do Not Agree on Time
Record

The boat race between the representa-
lives of the crews of the Presidents
yacht, the Dolphin, lying at The navy yard,
and the Naval Reserve vessel Fern. which
took place on the river between the Arse
nal Point and Buena Vista on the District
side of the river Thanksgiving Day, has
resulted in a controversy between the
friends of the respective contestants as
to the manner in which the regatta was
held
The Dolphin hackers claim that the
crew won by loo or $50 yards. The friends
of the Reserves say that they were de-
feated fairly, but by only thirty seconds
Ii seems that this race was the second one
Of the day, and that an earlier race was
started but called off because OF an al
legged fluking of the Reserves men by the
crew OF the Dolphin whaleboat which was
agreement under which the race should
be from the Buena Vista side and that
the Dolphns refused to race unless the
start be made from the Arsenal Point.
1t is also claimed by the Reserves that
this gave the Dolphins the advantage of
having the wind with their boat The Re
serves claim that in the first race the Dol
phins were being beaten. and that seeing
this. they deliberately fou!ed the Reserves
boat. The Reserves claim that the frs
race was granted to them by the referee
on account Of this alleged foul but admit
that they We're squarely beaten in the
second race.
