The priests at Cienega are engaged in the production of grammar and dictionary of the Navajo language, which will be of great benefit to this section of country. The NavajOs have spread out over 10000 square miles of this part of New Mexico. They are engaged in stOck-raising, agriculture and the manufacture of blankets. A large number are employed by the Santa Fe Pacific railroad as laborers. There are at least fifty Indian trading stores established in and about the reservation. An opportunity to learn the language will be of great help to outsiders who frequently come in con- tact with the Indians in business way.-Gallup Cleaner.

KILLED BY FALLING ROCKS.
W. H. Ashurst Caught In . Rock Slide In
 the Grand Canyon.

After search of several days John Hance found the body of w. H. Ash urst near the Arkansaw mine in the Grand Canyon on Thursday of last week. tIVE1 vt
 MT. Ashurst had been in the canyon alone since the last days of December, doing assessment work on his claims, and his headquarters were at the Ar kansaw, which is near the river and about seven miles below the Cameron. Berry trail. He had an engagement to meet Capt. Hance at his cabin on the rim on February 1, and his failure to do so caused Hance to think that some thing serious prevented the keeping Of the appointment. Hance came to this place in search of him, and not finding any trace went to Williams, where he was joined by Joseph Hunt, and thence to the canyon, where they found the body of their friend.
 Just how the accident occurred which caused the death of MT. Ashurst will never be positively known, but Capt. Hance, who has been for the past ten years close associate of Mir. Ashurst, is of the opinion that he was gathering wood along the steep side of the canyon and in some manner rock was detached, which carried other rocks with it, and Mir. Ashurst was not only struck by one rolling rock, but by several. His left leg was broken and crushed between the knee and the hip, and it may be that he was internally injured.
 From the position of the body it was evident that he had not moved after the accident. He was found lying on his back, with his hat pulled down over his eyes.
 MT. Hance is decidedly of the opin. ion that death took place very soon after the accident. The accident Oc. cured on the afternoon of January IS. MT. Ashurst had during his life time faithfully kept diary, making the entries at the close of each day. The last entry in his diary was made on the evening of January l7. He had par taken of his lunch, and thus the time of his death is clearly established.
 Monday party composed of John Hance, Niles Cameron, J. D. Halford, Porter Guffey, Marvin Beal, Henry F., Charles and Andrew Ashurst started for the canyon, with the purpose of bringing the body out. Itwas decided that owing to the condition of the body and the long, hard trail up to the rim, it would be impossible to accom-. plish the task. On Thursday the bod y was walled within rock on the spot in which death had taken place, to be re- moved at some future time.
 w. H. Ashurst was one of the piO- neers of the territory. He in company with John Clark of this place drove their bands of sheep into what is now CoconinO county in 1875, driving them across the country from California. MT. Ashurst was for many years one of our largest cattle owners, selling out a few years ago. Since then he has de- voted his time to the development of the Grand Canyon mines.
 Deceased was 8 native of Missouri and was about 57 years old. He leaves wife and the following children to mourn his loss: Mrs. J. A. Pitts, Hon. H. F., William. Thomas, Charles, An. drew, Edward and Maud.

PLANS FOR HISTORICAL HALL
PART TO GO Up AT ONCE IN CENTRAL
PARK WEST TO COST 100000

Plans for the new hall which the New-York
Historical Society will erect in Central Park
West. between Seventy-sixth and Seventy-sev-
enth SITS, were formally adopted at meeting OF
the society last night. They provide for
marble or granite building, three stories in
height, occupying the entire Central Park end
of the block. just below the Museum OF Natural
History. York & Saunders. of No 156 Fifth
ave, were the successful architects
Dean Hoffman, president of the society an
nounced that. according to the plans of the
building committee, S400,O 900 would be needed to
build that portion of the hall which is TO go UP
at once. OF this amount, he said. half had al
ready been obtained. and there was every reason
TO believe that the remainder would be forth
coming. The hall which the society erected in
1881 at Eeventh-st. and Secondary and which
it is still occupying. with the land on which it
stands, can be disposed of for 100000.
The architecture of the proposed hall is in
keeping with the object of the society which It
is to shelter. 1t is based on the lines which
were popular with the first American architects
1t follows closely the classic style of some of the
older buildings at Washington. Marble pillars
and many tall windows will be a feature. The
building will be 125 by 200 feet when finally
completed, and if the present plans of the
ciety carried out. its final cost will be nearly
$1,000,000. 1t will be capable of seating five
hundred persons, and have large reading room
circular in form. The adjoining stacks will pro-
vide room for 1874 600 volumes, and the capacity
can be increased to 100000 in the future il nee
essary. There will be suitable rooms for the
officers and various committees. For the pres
ent the society will be content to build the CEN
trail portion of the hall leaving the wings on the
street sides to be added later. a portion of the
plans were exhibition last night. and met
with the strong approval of the members who
present.
After the plans had been discussed and the de-
cison of the building committee approved, Will
lam S. Peletreau read an interesting paper en-
titled The Seven Hills of New York" He gave
a detailed history Of the various hills which
reared their heads on Manhattan Island before
street grading and building excavation caused
them to disappear.
