though quite a number are in vertical positions. The great majority are com pletely petrified. as far as the wood is concerned, and have an outer coating of what seems 10 have once been sand and gravel. This coating, it is believed, was formed by the action of the ele- ments and by the movements of the trees at different periods in the worlds history. GeOlOgists have divided the forest into what are rmed three cen ters of accumulation. on the the-ry that much of the wood has been carried from one point to another by natural phenomena. In each of these centers of accumulation can b. found logs and blocks from a few inches in diameter to five feet. while trunks in length range up t. 90 feet. although the tree form ing the Natural Bridge has been meas. ured distance of III feet to a point where it reaches tn. sandstone forma- ton. It's length in the formation has not. as yet. beer estimated.
 Throughout the forests are scattered mesas upon which are many of the larger fragments. They are in brilliant tints of red. yellow, blue and com5ina- lions of these cOIors. and sections cut through the center show that the inte- rior of the logs have completely chang ed into the forms or agate. jasper and chalcedony. Judging from portions of the larger pieces which have been found, some of the trees must have originally been from 150 to 200 feet long. Owing t1 the facc that quartz crystals are abundant in the forest, many of the best specimens have been cut also blown up by persons who wish to ge. solid crystals, which are gener- ally found near the center of the tree. There is every evid5nc that a century or more ago the Indians in this part of the United States. and possibly pra- historic inhabitants. visited the for sts to obtain material for hatchets arrow heads and knives. as the same material has been found in such implements

PETRIFIED FOREST
A Description of One of ArizOna's
 Natural Wonders.

Tn the northwestern part of Apache marllable petrified forest yet discover ed on the American continent ana what geologists believe to be the most won derful specimens of silicif-d trees in the worlG, writes. write D. Allen Wiley, in the Scientific American. The forest is about 8 miles square. and was orig inally composed principally of frs. It is located upon a plateau which is $500 feet above tide water. although the the Ory of geOlogists is that the woodland in its natural state originally existed at q much higher altitude. IL is in the the center of one of the most desolata parts of the W st. surrounded for many miles by country which yields prin- cipally sage brush and sap weed. The nearest stream, which is about 20 miles distant from the forest is lined with q stunted growth of cottonwood trees. and is called th. Dirty river. from the quality of the liquid. which can hardly be called water. flowing through it. The cottonwood trees and a small clearing at the railroad station include the only living vegetation in the vicinity of the forest, with the exception of a few small cedar trees and bushes near what Is termed the Natural Bridge"
 The plateau on which the forest eX- ists is divided into many small gulches and gOrges. and the strata of which it Is composed consists principally of beds of clay, sandstone and sandstone shale. Under portion of the strata water can be found at q deDth of but a few feet and it is believed that below it ara s=v

sure-footed mule. The bridge consists merely of a huge tree trunk. which, it is believed, has never moved from the original section in which it fell. The center of the trunk shows that 1t is completely silcified. The exterior is coated with a sort of cement made of sand-rock. in which geologists believe it was originally imbedded. At the middle it measures ten feet in circum- ferance and at the base four feet in di- ameter No branches. however. of any kind, can be found upon it nor are there any indications that branches have ev- CT grown from the trunk. The suppo- sition is that the gulley has been form ed by the action of the elements wash ing away the formation from beneath the trunk as it lay where it originally fell and that it's first bed was upon sol i'd ground.
 Several theories of the petrification of these trees have been advanced. One is that ages ago a volcanic shower buried q number of forests in the southwest and that the action of water in later periods produced the necessary chemi- cal action to change the woody matter into the present material. Tn the case of the Arizona forest. however, there is little evidence of volcanic action. eX- cept in one or two portions. Many of the trees are found in the sandstone formation, and this has caused much discussion among geolOgists. T. is ad- mitted that the trunks and other frag- ments must have become petrified in the locality where they were found. as their weight would render it impoS- sible for them to have become moved to the place by floods or by any convul- sion of nature. owing to their size and the form in which they have been dis covered.
 At the last session of congress the question of preserving the petrified forest in its present condition was brought up by a memorial from the Ar izona legislature that it be made into a national park like the Yellowstone The government has had examinations made of the tract and it is prObabla that some action will be taken at the next session

among the cliff dwellers of Arizona and the southwest.
 The beauty of the silicified wood and it's hardness has attracted attention tn the petrified forests by manufacturers, who have used it as a substitute for onyx and other material for the manu- fracture of table tops, clock cases, tiling for floors, and even curious jewelry. At he Chicago exposition an assort- ment of articles manufactured in ma terial found in the Arizona forests was shown, which attracted much atten- tiOn. Another collection is now on eX- hibiticn in Paris. The material also forms an excellent substitute for eme- ry for milling purposes, and several years ago a company was organized which located a mill for reducing it to powder on the edge If the forest. Ow- ing to competition from Canadian man. Ufacturers this plant was never placed in operation, and consequently a large portion of the forest was saved from destruction.
 The position of the various trees in the forest makes it exec edingly pie tuTesque, but since 1853, when it was first discovered, but comparatively few touris,s have explored it, owing to the difficulty in crossing the gorges and in climbing the mesas and other forms Some of the trees have been found pro- jecting from deposits of what were evi- cently at one time volcanic lava and ashes, as high as twenty-five feet above the volcanic foundations. Others are on the edges of the gulleys. lying like gigantic cannon as if protecting the To- cality from the intruder.

A larse number of them are in lengths of but a few feet and at a distance looked like great cart wheels. As their centers are beautifully tinted with the colors re- f5rr7d to. the sc.ne in the sunlight is so brilliantly dizzling that the visitor could imagine himself in a sort of earthly paradisa were it not for the des- o,ate surroundings formed by the clay, sandstona and volcanic formations.
 Probably the most remarkable feature nc the forest is the Natural Bridge all ready referred to. This forms a thor oughfare across one of the gulleys or rany. ns upon which a man can safely tav1l and which has been crossed by

 The HOosier shaft Is being unWatered which will permit of the early resump- tion of work on the lower levels. Reg ular shipments of ore are going for ward to Fl Paso.
 R. C. Goodwin brought in some fine samples of suiphide ore d few days since from the Cole X Goodwin mine. The ore runs 39 per cent in copper. The work of development is progressing satisfactorily.
