Back From the Sulphur Mines.

Capt. Polhamus returned Wednes- day evening with the steamer Monave from the sulphur mines i'll Lower California, bringing up 100 tons of sulphur ore. The orc is being shipped to the Mexican Sulphur Co.'S as phaltum works at Ventura, California, where it will be experimented with and thoroughly tested. Almost any piece of the ore brought up will readily burn when a match is touched to 1t
 Some of it being almost pure sulphur. Forty men are at work developing the mines and about two hundred tons of high grade ore is now on the banks or the Hardy river awaiting shipment. Ice Godfrey, one of the best pilots that ever turned wheel on the Colo rado river, brought the boat from the mines in three and half days, making the trip of two hundred miles without going aground, which, considering the heavy load and low stage of the river, is most remarkable piece of work. On the down trip the boat layed at the mouth of the Hardy river five days waiting for the tide to raise the slough loadi"" to the mines so It would be navigable, and Mr. Godfrey ] in company with Custom Collector ] Navarro. spent the time very inioy- ably hunting wild fowl and hOg- winch abound in that region. They succeeded iii baggins aIl the small game they wanted and also killed three fine specimens of the wild hog, Messrs. Godfrey, Navarro and an Indian belonging to the party killing one each. The porker killed by MT. Godfrey weighed three hundred pounds and was excellent meat.

O~RFuSGTON, Nc, Jan. 2l.-Within the past
two years the State of Maine has placed more
than 10000 landlocked salmon fry in Bremcr's
and Fields's ponds. two large sheets of water
near Bangor. This winter the fishermen have
been taking large quantities of pickerel from
these ponds, using live bait, which the fish
seemed greedy to get. On Sunday a warden was
sent out to SEQ that the law was observed.
one of whom had his hooks buitcd with
young salmon, which were dipped from
the shOal places and hlowholes on the
borders Of The ponds. The matter has
been brought to the attention of the Fish and
Game Commission. who will no doubt clO,c tho
ponds for five years until tho young fry have
grown up, ms the state can hardly afford to
grow young salmon for %pickercl bait. The prac-
tice OF using FISH from the hnlcherles for bait Is
ponds that have been newly stocked.

hold up n man on snowshoes. Coming upon a

The crust would not bear them, and
they could only wallow along in the
snow. Seth would tackle. anything that

he set out after the wolves with his axe. What

CALLING HACK THE SUN.
Tho Moaui Dance That Helps to Causs the Re-
turn or Summer and Haryests.

DENVER. Col, Jan. 1s.-Dr. Towkes Of the
Smithsonian Institution at Washington re-
turned recently from tho Moqui villages In
Arizona, where he attended tho winter dances
Of the Indians. He is one OF the few white men
who have ever seen this remarkable ceremony,
and tho result OF his visit will appear In a de-
tailed report on his return to Washington.
The dance or ceremony is called tho Say-la-na.
and is the most complicated of all the religious
ceremonies among the Moauis. 1t continues for
nine days. including preliminary preparations.
IL Is one of the few ceremonies still In existence
among the uncivilized tribes in which the sun ia
directly the object Of worship. The dance Ia kes
place at tho winter solstice when the sun has
receded TO its furthcst limit in tho southern sky.
Its object Is primarily to induce tho sun to re-
cede from its southern march and retrace its
steps toward the north to bring Joy. warmth.
and returning harvcsts to the Moquis. The
secondary object is to extend q peace offering to
the great Plumed Snake. a deity hostile to the
sun. in order that his wrath may DO appeased
the Moquls.
The main dance took place at walpai on Dec.
20. and on the 22d at Oriaba. IL WAS held be-
tween 10 and IL o'clock in the evening in one of
the secret rooms of tho KhivR. A rude altar had
been constructed ~ one end of the room. back
OF which was partition or wreaths and flowers.
iPaiTGnsdi s %SlsG the pro hS%d Of n This s'iRE LEAD Of w shs
about eighteen inches long and about twelve
inches ~. diameter and made from u large
gourd. The upper part OF the head was stained
black, the lower part white, and tho mouth,
with y hideOus exhibition OF teeth, WAS stained
red. Behind this screen was nm Indian, whose
Ofice il was TO impart to tho head of the reptile
n swaying motion, ms II the serpent was imbuod
with lie. A I Inc sane time a number OF Indians
blew into hollow gourds. which emitted n
strange rushing sound TO initiate the noi3o
made by the s"it movement of II monster
snake. In front OF the altar and tho oitigy OF
tho snake appeared "a warrior. with n shield
ON which were represented emblems Of tho sun.
These minor deities and the Pluned Snake at
tackled the warrior representing the sun, and n
battle ensucd In which the lone warrior tri-
umphcd. beating back his enemies. and thus
being enabled TO return 10 the north to cheer
the land of the AlOquiS.
The next morning after tho performance ns
the sun rises above the eastern horizon and tips
tho western hills with gold tho Indians offer
up their prayers and sprinkle holy moal In It's
fore, and by these simple acts Of devotion wei:
come its return from the southern skies, and
with IL also the return of the Kaehen0s. the
good gpirits. vho bring the Moquis rain, corn.
