While grading for the Shannon rail-
road last Friday, the workmen found a
small ola, which was in fine state of
preservation, but was cracked by the
workmen. 1t was discovered at depth
of Is feet from the surface. A large num-
Der Of human bones were also discov-
cred, which are so brittle that they yield
to the slightest pressure. They are un-
doubtly the remains ofcliff dwellers who
inhabited this section many centuries
ago. Prof. w. II. Harrison, who is in
charge of the railroad work, presented
the relics to Mrs. j. W. Carter, who
prizes them most highly.-Clifton Cop
per Era.
The thousands of old Tombstoners
scattered over the world will be glad to
learn that f. b. Gage has consolidated
the Grand Central, Contention and
Toughnut interests, and will at once re-
open those wonderfully rich mines on a
grander scale than ever. 1t is mistake
to suppose that the product of Tombstone
was exclusively silver as good value in
gold is in all the ore, while the ore
bodies at and below water level are i'm
mense. The Tribune man believes from
a long and intimate acquaintance with
these properties. which have paid their
tens OF millions in dividends, that Tomb
stone will again resume its proud posi-
ton as lhe leading mining camp of
