MODERN RUINS.

From the main tower Of the fort can
be seen in front Gaping each a hill
three towers or forts, which constituted
the first defense OF the city. The palace
and other public buildings stood on the
hat top Of mound and covered about
thirty acres Of land. The sides Of this
mound are so steep that In but one or
two places is 1t possible for q man TO
ascend. The only approach to thus
mound was by way OF narrow cause

could not go abreast The city extend
ed for miles on both sides Of the deep
| raVine surrounding the palace. From
the tower, besides the palace the fort
and the outer Notifications we counted
half dozen other ruins, some OF them
two miles away.
These towers, one Of which measured
40 feet square and so feet high, were
built of small stones, Weighing from
five pounds to ten pounds each. put up
in much mud mortar, like the walls of

those OF Militia very much but have no
| resemblance TO those Of Palenque or Of
Ocoslngo In the latter the walls are
mostly Of stone, laid regularly, and but
| little mortar Here the reverse Is the
case.
The cement floors Of the palace are
still seen. In these lime seems to have
been used. They are still, in the parts
uncovered, as hard and apparently as
fresh as the day the king trod them
as he marched out at the head Of his
immense army to repel the white men

THE SACRIFICIAL MOUND.
The sacrihcial mound still remains,
but is much in ruins as the stones sup.
porting the sides, as well as those form
ing the steps have been taken down. On
this mound human sacrifice was won't
to be made Here the victims were
brought, stretched upon stone that
was somewhat rounding In the center,
thus causing the chest to be higher
than the head or feet. Four priests held
each hand or foot, while fifth held
the head A sixth with sharp stone
axe cut the victim over the heart, and
while that organ was still beating
thrust in his hand and tore II out, at
the same time offering Il to the ldol
nearby. The corpse was then thrown
down 20 the multitude below, and the
owner, perhaps the one who had cap
turod the victim In war, would take II
and prepare the flesh for the banquet
that followed.

SHODAIR BLOCK IN DANGER
Workmen Discover That Prospect
From An Old Shaft Drifts
Under the Building.

When the rear of the frame building
belonging to the Thomas estate was re-
moved to make room for the new Clark
block in West Park street yesterday the
workmen discovered that the prospect
from an old shaft drifts directly under
the corner Of the Shodair block. There is
said to be danger that the ground may
settle and weaken the foundation and ex-
tensive repairs will be necessary.
While the hole is not deep, a bridge
of rock three feet thick is all that sup
ports the two-story brick wall of the
Shodair blu lding. Building Inspector Lane
investigating the conditions existing yes
terday evening and declared that steps
must be taken at once to insure the safe
ty of the wall. - i i
The abandoned shaft is located on the
Thomas property and goes straight down.
ward for a few feet; swhen the prospect
drifts directly under the southeast cor
ner of the Shodair block. A temporary
bridge must be constructed and the wall
strengthened with masonry laid on solid
rock.

Shodair. II asked the man doing the
work what he proposed to do. He said
nothing but what he was paid for. He
told me he was drifting under the alley
and not under the building"

HIS DIFFERENCE REWARDED
Judge Boyle Is Lenient With An Old
Soldier Who Salutes and
Roua

Judge Boyle received salute in police
court this morning that would have
filled with joy the heart or any great
general. There is little doubt that the
bestower of favors on the Judge had. in
his time, been next to the firing line. but
this morning he appeared on the carpet
on a charge Of vagrancy.
Having heard Clerk VIM read the COM
plant against him. the old soldier stated
that he was a miner and had worked all
his life. He had been idle for a few
days, he said. and then added that rude
policemen had robbed him.
II am going to play quits with Butte
tonight. your honor" he said. and made
another salute and bow. and Judge
Boyle did not have the heart to send him
up. The old soldier made no attempt to
conceal his " when he was DISCHARGED.

HER LIFE WAS A SACRIFICE
Mrs. Clark, Who Died Here Week
Ago, Had more Than Her
Share Of Trouble.

AS foreshadowed in last Thursdays
Inter Mountain, the past history Of
strange Mrs. Clark, who died at St.
Pauls hospital week ago, has revealed
life full of pain and sorrow. No doubt
when the woman said, II have lost my
life, but saved my SOUL" just previous
to her death, she knew the end was at
hand and thanked God for it.
The Rev. j. L. Albritton, pastor of
Mountain View church Of Butte, and a
spiritual friend of Mrs. Clark, re-
ceived letter yesterday from Mrs. H.
S. Mills of Keller, Mich, in which Mrs.
Clark's past is wildly described. 1t is
apparent that the unfortunate woman,
who came among strangers to die, had
been woman of sterling qualities, and
although she had suffered many of the
hardships thrown in the path of strug-
Cling woman during the last few years
of her life she bore her burden without
fiinching.
No word of complaint, says Mrs. Mills
IN her letter, was ever uttered by the
woman to strangers. The battle was
fought single-handed by Mrs. Clark, and
although brought up in luxury, she
struggled hard to aid those who were
dear to her when they were in need.
Mrs. Mills relates how Mrs. Clark had
been married to wealthy oil speculauor
In pennsylvania, who, after five years of
happy married life, died. Through bad
investments, Mrs. Clark's husband had
lost nearly everything. Tha woman,
true to her husband and his acts,
promptly sold her beautiful home and
other personal prosperity to liquidate some
OF the remaining debts. With her A.
year-old daughter as her only comfort,
Mrs. Clark went out into the world to
earn living and pay off the balance due
her late husbands creditors.
BY careful management the brave wo-
man succeeded, after eight yeaa.s Of tedi-
Gus work, in saving the required amount,
and the world began to have a few rays
of light for the widow. re
Joy was not to be hers, however, for
no sooner did she succeed in lifting the
burden of debts from her shoulders than
her heart was weighed down with a
much greater woe. Her only comfort in
life, the daughter, was taken from her
by death, and almost at the same :irne
news was received by the unfortunate
woman that her sister had become an
invalid for life. The sister died six years
later while living with Mrs Clark.
Mrs. Mills further states in her letter
that third sister of Mrs. Clark had not
written to the woman for number of
years, and Mrs. Mills did not know
whether she was living.
Some years ago Mrs. Clark went to
live with Mrs. Mills in Keller, ana 1t
was at this time a friendship was ce>
mented between them. Mrs. Mills says
that the woman, who became nurse for
the sick after all was taken from her,
acted as though she were weary of life.
and at times, the writer states, she
feared that she might end her misery
by suicide.
Mrs. Clark's age is given as 80 years,
and her maiden name as Herriot.
