Speculation as to the profits of the

vative estimate. The American patents

abroad. On account of the delay in the
foreign countries, the perfected form of
the spinning ring is carefully guarded
from publicity, and no photographs of it
are permitted The patents cover the
idea, but the perfected form of the ring
is the result of three years of alteration

Draper says: Like the high-speed spin

ANOTHER CIVILIZATION.
Wonderful Disco veries Made by Excz-
vators In New Mexico.

New York, July 25.-Dr. George i.
Cote and Fay G. Cote of Los Angles,
Cal. Prof. R. W. Butler of Greeley,
Col, and the Rev. G. S. Madden OF
Bland. who arrived at Santa Fe, New
Mexico, yesterday reported that Ia the
excavat1ng of a number of large stone
ruins situated in Pajarato Canon, be-
tween Bland and Espanola, they mads
startling discoveries, says a special to
the Times. A building discovered was
800 by $50 feet. entirely of stone, carefully
dressed. 1t was two or three stories
high, originally, but now only walls six
to ten feet remain standing. The upper
story evidently was open to the sky and
upon this the dwellsrs in the building
probably spent both day and night.
But it is the finds made in room nine
by twelve feet in size that are the most
suggestive Of the civilization of the an
cient people. An old furnace for smelt-
ing was found, near which was a large
iron bar deeply incrusted with rust, also
pieces of rich copper ore, as we'll as gold
ornaments AMI piece OF beautiful tur-
quoise. Twenty-Five pieces of pottery Of
great beauty and brilliancy were in the
room.
Around the fireplace in the room which
was excayated, stood a dozen large pots,
each with bones in it, showing that the
inhabitants abandoned the room while
they were preparing a meal. Near some
of the smelter Stag was found scorched
corn, together with the bones of birds
and other animals. Iron knives, stone
battle axes, polished stone erectors and
several musical instruments including
a flute were in evidence and we'll pre-
served. Many human bones were found
in the regulation grounds. In the build
ing are 1900 to 1900 rooms only one of
which was excavated. There are hundreds
of similar ruins in the twenty-five miles
from Bland to Espanola, showing that
in that district at one time lived more
people than are In Mexico today The
region has not as yet been touched by
scientists. or explorers. Rev. Mr.. Mad
den theory is that about 500 or 600 years
ago, the jewellers in that region, who
left their records in numerous hierog-
lyphic Inscriptions had been driven out,
either by an earthquake or by the inva-
sion Of a stronger force.
