An Archaeological find of great
antiquity and value was made at the
Connolly camp last Wednesday in
Optima upon the Rock Island ex-
tension. Following a heavy blast
in the rocks a plate seven inches
long by three inches wide, was OBJ
served fastened in a crevice. 1t
bore some unintelligible hieroglyph-
les and evidently had been displaced
from where it had rested for ages.
Mr.. Connolly Immediately set his
force to work and after moving fifty
tons of rock removed the treasure to
his Office. No person thus far, in
these parts, can form any idea of its
age or use. Mr.. Jerry Connolly,
for the convenience of those who
crowd to see it, has placed it on
view in the Gel Paso" saloon. Mr..
James McQuillan intends leaving
next week for Kansas City to sub
NIT this relic of ancient times to ex-
perts in Lawrence. 1t is Mr.. Con-
nolly's intention that, should this
discovery be found of Aztec origin
or previous period, to present it to
the Smithsonian Institute in Wash
ington, D. C. The Rock Island
bridge across the Beaver is complete
and the grade for number of miles
south of the Beaver is finished. The
track laying crew has worked up to
the north end of the big cut immed
lately north of the Beaver. This

Many of our citizens, formerly
residents of Western Kansas, will
remember the sorghum sugar bubble
of 1890, the building of mills to
make sugar from sorghum, and how
townships were authorized to issue
bonds to the extent of SI5,o 900 to
aid the construction of these mills.
A late decision of the supreme court
of the United States has held the law
invalid and the townships will be
relieved while the holders of the
bonds in the east will hold the sack.
