 turers of Old.
Los Angeles, Cal, July r, 99.

Los Angeles, Cal, July IF, '99 Editor of Graphic;
 h compliance with your request of the 11th, l will write brief de- scription of portion of our trip, from Santa Fe to Los Angeles:
 From Santa Fe our party went to Flagstaff, Arizona for the purpose qf visiting the canon and other 5oints of historical and geog ~aphi- cal interest.
 No part of our journey has been of more interest than our visit to Walnut canon, once the home Of the Cliff Dwellers. This canon is about three miles long and from 300 to 1000 feet wide. It's sides rise in harrow terraces and far up beneath the cliffs are found the ruins of the homes of this prehistoric people of whom little is or can be known. The rooms are arl anged much ike a set of soldiers barracks, twenty or more in a groop, separated by a wall made of stone and cemented with kind of clay. The rooms are on an average about 10 feet wide and from 70 to 90 feet in length. [ Pieces of broken pottery, d few small corn cobs that have bee D foun q eemented in the walls aud an occasional utensil of stone are l that remains 10 tell of the fife and character of these early North Americans.
 Some mines about 65 miles north of Flagstaff have been recently ex. amined and many curios have been exhumed. Innumerable strings of beads and ornaments of various kinds, pottery of different colors and designs, woven coltoL cloth aud few mummies make up part of this valuable collection.
 The mummleS and skeletons that have been found seem to indicate that the people were of small size, somewhat like the Pueblo Indians of today, but with the collection ilst mentioned was a skeleton of a man who must have been fully 8 feet tall, showing that there were giants in those days too. It is esti- mated that the race abandoned their home or were entirely exterminated aoout geo or l .O00 years ago The cloth in which the bodies of tta Q dead we~e oncased and some other things seem to indicate that the people possessed at least some of tue arts of civilized life.
 Quite number of our party undertook the long and tiresome journey to the Grand Canon, The ca non lies wholly in Arizona and

Skeleton identified.

Sunday. August 10, G.. r. Foulks
found a human skeleton between
Mystic and Floriston. Yesterday G..
r. Holcomb shed some light on the
mystery. He believes the skeleton to
be the remains of Stephen Garrett,
who disappeared in July. 1865. Gar
rett had been in the employ OF Mr..
Holcomb, who was one of the pro-
prietors Of the Clipper Mill at the
head Of Evans Creek. He lost his
horse and went in search OF it but
did not return. The mill men search
ed for several days but found no trace
OF him.
Garrett was feet 8 inches in
height, had long body and short
arms and legs the description tallying
with that of the skeleton. He had a
wife in Birmingham, Iowa, but no
other known relatives. Reno Journal

RattleSnal<o Trust.

According to the Buffalo Courier,
Rochester, N. Y, boasts of the most
unique trust yet organized. A snake
farm will be established In the su.
'burbs Of the city for the breeding of
rattlesnakes for the market. At
present it is impossible to supply the
demand for rattlesnake oil, skins and
live snakes. During the past six
months many cases of goitre have
been cured by the use Of live rattle.
snakes, which are wrapped around
the necks Of patients. A goitre sani-
tarium will be conducted by the
trust In connection with the snake
farm. At the head of the trust is
Pete Gruber, better known as aRat
tlesnake Pete" a man who is an au-
thorlty on snakes and who has CAP
tured hundreds of rattlers in the
snake dens of the Pennsylvania hills,
In Wyoming and in Florida. Gruber
says that the rattlesnake possesses
more curative qualities than people
In general have any idea. Rattle
snake oil is also specific for rheu-
matism, deafness and lameness. The
skin Is largely used for felons and
carbuncles, and is said to be the most
powerful poultice obtainable. A
rattler sheds his skin three times a
year. Gruber has been unable to
meet the demand for oil, skin and
live snakes for use by goltre patients
and will depart for Florida in a few
days to secure a supply of rattlers
and to arrange for future shipments.
Snakes are bought by the foot, piece
or pound. The only bargain he ever
got was at CIRCUS auction, when he
secured fifteen pounds of assorted
snakes for $3.50. Rattlesnakes bring
from 80 cents to five dollars each.
The longest one he ever captured
measured trifle over seven feet, and
made music with string Of twenty
rattles. The most vicious rattlers
come from the Florida swamps,
where they grow to length of eight
or nine feet.

Dominican mail advices just received

for Juan Isidro Jimenes, the leader of
the revolution in that country, by Gen
immediate political faction is not alto

to appear that while the whole nation
accepted the revolution on the tacit
understanding that the intolerable in
cubus of party politics would be pre-
manently removed by securing an
American protectorate, Jimenes' party
were finally working for his personal
interests, to the establishment of which
they now purpose utilizing the victory
if they can compass his constitutional
election.
In spite of the growing popularity of
General Horacio Vasquez, the pro-
visional Vice President, who was the
real leader of the revolution and is the
real hero of the hour, the advices add
that unless the person elected either

tablishing the existence of a Nationalist
and Royalist plot to overthrow the re-
public, and there is every indication
that President Loubet will apply the

persons charged with offenses against
the security of the State.
The Investigations that nave peen

magistrate in charge of the case, nave
already resulted in the discovery OF
compromising documents in Paris ana
