Some Remarkable Discoveries Made
in the Vicinity of the Verde
Valley.

John Love, The we'll known searcher
Tor prehistoric relics, has been AZ WORK
again this spring over ia the Verde conn
try near Rudolph w llard's place In
excavating into the mountain side he
encountered a stone wall, a genuine ma
sonry wall. A ni.he had been Gu inro
the side OF the mountain and this wall
built in front OF it. L. contained an
opening over which was thin stone Sian.
The walls OF the chamber, cut out ot the
rock, we're plastered and the chamber =
self cont airei three mummies well pre-
served They were apparently those OF
children, though some who saw them
contended that they we're those of gro Sn
persons belonging 10 pigmy race. Tn"
smallest OF them seemed to disprove this
Theory and confirm the b'lief that they
were children, as the teeth had jl1t com.
menced to push through the gums Of
the j,ws. A cotton blanket Was found
wrapped about them, this being also in
an excellent state OF preservation, and
unlike most articles OF this kind found in
this way did not crutnble whei exposed
to the air. The portion OF this blanket
which was between the bodies and the
ground floor of the ch amber, Was rotten,
but the remainder was intact and quite
strong A string of beads thirty SIX
inches long, was also found with the
bodies, but the string crumbled when
picked up, allowing the beads to fall o
the ground.
The chamber in which this find WAS
made seemed to be perfectly air tight,
the plsstered walls, the solid walls OF
m asonry all being Theoretically sealed by
means Of the slab, having precluded the
entrance OF any air to the resting place OF
the dead.
Mr.. Love has found some Of the most
wonderful specimens OF u prehistoric ma
tu there ever disco" cred in the territ, Dry.
One Of the largest spear he IDS. if not the
largest, ever found in the territory, was
discovered by him Other articles VI
unusual value were also discovered, aud
these, togeth her sith the finding Of this
walled cham Der and its contents, Leafs
to the belief that at this point was the
residence of some great chief or king,
as the ordinary ourying places of The
pre- historic people were not hewn ou' II
the mountain and enclosed with air tighr
walls
What find it would prove and how
it would lit the veil OF mystery which
surrounds these ancient ruins if some his
torlcal tablet could be found With all
the discoveries yet made the history OF
these people and the aye in which they
lived, are matters Of mere conjecture and
theory. Nothing whatever has been dis
covered TO definitely outline their char
acter or the period Of the world's history
in which they occupied this country -

FIRE IN BROOKLYN MACHINE
SHOP.

New York, February 10 -Four alarms
we're turned In tonight for fire in ma
aine shop No. %, in the Brooklyn navy
yard This is "a three story brick building,
built in the sixties and was full OF ola
machinery. The woodwork of the build
ing was SO well saturated with oil that
the flames made great headwsy and the
building was apparently doomed before
the firsmen got the streams to play on
II.
The only work being done there at pres
ent was small work for the torpedo
boats Mckee. Rogers. Foote, Portsr. this s
being for boilers. Engine fittings were
also being turn d out for the Newark,
Scorpion and the lndiarE
The copper smiths shop, the boiler max
S shop, the carpenters shop and ths
foundry were in flames and burning
| 1ercely.
9he blaze In the machine shop started
q $50 O'Clock. At s.l5 the building
was total loss.
The building was 20 feet by 3s5 and
q portion of it was occupied as a pattern
shop.
A great number of the models were
simply copies OF plans, drawings and
specifications now in the store rooms of
the department at Washington and these
can be replaced at any time. The steam
engineering department of the Brooklyn
yard is practically wiped out and the
work done in that building will have
to be thrown temporarily upon the de-
partment of yards and docks and of con-
struction and repair.
The fire was first discovered by the
man of the watch of the battleship
Massachusetts,. He Immediately notified
Lieut. K. I. Mulligan. who was in charge
of the watch. and call to fire quarters
was piped. The men of the Massachu-
setts seurried down to the maintop, about
800 yards away, and with the aid of a
hose reel, picked up in the yard, got
small stream playing on the fire. 1t was
seen that the Massachusetts could do
but little against the blaze and Col.
Huntington, in command OF the marines,
Joined in the work. About this time a
four alarm was turned in, and the city
engines in the neighborhood of the navy
ward responded. The flames had
then completely enveloped the great
machine shop and attention had to be
paid to The foundry and other buildings
in the vicinity. Several times the flame
got a start on the foundry roof, but the
fremen quickly put them out. A small
corrugated iron building in the rear OF
the machine shop took fire and was
burned but the loss on this is insignin-
cant.
The steam engineering department
had number Of elaborate plans when
were originated in this yard and theif
loss cannot be replaced. 1t is variousiy
estimated that the loss to this depart,
ment will amount to several hundred
thousand dollars.
A particular feature of the fire was
noticed in the fact that the records ana
models of the battleship Maine which
was blown up in Havana harbor OIL
February Is, 1898, were destroyed.
