During the last campaign
The MAIL, as well as every
other Democratic paper in the
territory, told the people that
the plank in the Republican
platform favoring statehood
and the statements made by
Republican speakers and Re
publican newspapers claiming
that if Brodie was elected to
congress statehood would be
certain to follow, was delusive
and was simply put forward to
fool the people and catch votes,
is now proven to be a fact by
one of the leaders of that party
which is clearly proven by the
following words uttered by
Gov. McCord in a recent speech:
"Arizona, measured by any and
all standards, is entitled to ad-
mission as a sovereign state.
Will she receive her reward? |
fear not speedily, and the reason
will not be because of her devo-
tion to free silver, but rather TO
the secret and treacherous op-
position of those whose interests
political or otherwise will not
be advanced by apmission.
Every interest, except the in
terest of politicians who have
no standing with the people
and who have nothing to expect
from their hands, demands of
congress an admission to the
sisterhood of states. "

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

VIZ w
John Love, the we'll known
searcher for prehistoric relics,
has been at work again this
spring over in the Verde coun-
try near Rudolph Williard's
place. In excavating into the
mountain side he encountered a
stone wall, genuine masonry
wall. A niche had been cut
into the side of the mountain
and this wall built in front of il.
1t contained an opening over
which was thin stone slab.
The walls of the chamber, cut
out of the rock, we're plastered
and the cha mber itself con-
tanned three mummies we'll pre-
served. They were apparently
those of children, thhugh some
who saw them cOntended that
they were those of grown per-
sons belonging to a pigmy race.
The smallest of them seemed to
disprove this theory and con-
firm the belief chat they were
children as the teeth had Just
commenced TO push through the
gums of the jaws. A cotton
blanket was found wrapped
about them, this being also in
an excellent state of preserva
ton, and unlike most articles
found in this way did not crum-
BILE when exposed to the air.
The portion of this blanket,
which was between the bodies
and the ground floor of the
chamber was rotten, but the re-
mainder 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 to
the ground.
The chamber in which this
find was made seemed to be
perfectly air tight, the plast-
cred walls, the solid walls of
being hermetically
sealed by means of the slab,
having precluded the entrance
of any air to the resting place
of the dead.
M. Love has found some of
the most wonderful specimens
of a pre- historic nature there
has ever been discovered in the
territory. One of the largest
spear heads, if not the largest,
ever found IN the territory,
was discovered by him. Other
articles of unusual value were
also discovered, and these, to-
gether with the finding of this
walled chamber and contents,
leads TO the belief that at this
point was the residence of some
great chief or king, as the ordi-
nary burying places of the pre-
historic people were not hewn
out of the side of a mountain
and enclosed with air tight
walls.
What a find it would prove
and how it would lift the vail
of mystery which surrounds
these ancient ruins IT some his
torical tablets could be found.
With all the discoveries yet
made the history of these peo-
pie and the age in which they
lived, are ma alters of mere con-
lecture and theory. Nothing
whatever has been discovered
to definitely outline their char
acter or the period of the
world S history in which they
occupied this country -Journrl

Heart at Dobbs Ferry. was on hand

ben transformed into the sembance
of an old English garden.
At the end of the conservatory q dais
had been raised. Over this was a can
opy of lattced smilax, clnging vines
and blossoming peach trees. Its luxu-
RANT foliage shut out the daylight. but
tiny incandescent lights hidden in the
leaves gave soft and ample illumina-
ZION.
Almost promptly at noon, the maid OF
honor, Miss Mary Baldwin Tolfree, en-
tered the ball room and under an aisle
arched with roses walked toward the
waiting priest. She preceded the bride,
