ARIZONA'S GLASSMOUNTAIN
From the 81. 2. Sun.l


A party of archaeologists and anti
quarians have made important diseov-
cries in the hitherto unexplored region
at the northern limit of the Harqua Hala
range of mountains in Arizona A great
desert and the total absence of water.
have prevented any previous examina-i
ton, and only the Indians know of the.
curiosities of these mountains
One side OF one mountain rises In
terraces and presents many features re-
calling the Grand Canon of the Colora-
do. The whole mass is of obsidian, or
volcanic glass. and glitters in colors of
green, blue and black. 1t may be seen
on clear mornings at great distances
and the glitter of the mountain has Iured
many travellers in its direction.
The exploring party found under a
high shelving rock a narrow necked ola
or earthenware jar, bottom side up, con-
tanning human bones, a broken hammer
and a metate. or stone employed by the
prehistoric races of Arizona probably
for the same purposes as a similar uten-
sill is used by the aborigines of today
for grinding maize Slabs, turquoise
stones and other euriosities were re-
vealed by digging, and there were marks
on buried rocks which were supposed to
be inscriptions. A careful study of the
curiosities was not made. but another

Of unearthing all available relics in the

the position in the dramatic world he
has battled for, and for which he has
for some years deserved in the opinion
of others without the precincts Of that
self-important center. But with this
production, and in his performance of
Norbert in In a Balcony" he came
into his own, being hailed as a sur
prise" Just why New York took Mr..
Skinner as a surprise is hard to I'M
derstand. He had enjoyed long train
ing and done capable work for years
at Days. and during several seasons
Of subsequent starring tours he had
been seen in that city in classic or
tragic plays. New York likes nothing
better than to discover dramatic
worth-at least this is the latter tend
england if it delayed it's discovery
in this instance, it may be fairly COM
mended for being better late than
never. It will be recalled that Henri
eta Crosn an was a New York sur
prise" last season. although she had
been acting in that vicinity for the mat
ter of fifteen years.

The report that Otis Skinner viii next

IN THE HOTEL LOBBlES.

''The news that the presidential party
will not come to Montana will be
great disappointment to the transpor-
tation companies operating in Yellow
stone National Park" said Alexander
Livingston of Park county at the
Thornton this morning. There have
been all kinds of preparations made
for the reception of the president
and the transportation of the great
crowd, that would flock into th'.
Park when the distinguished visitor
went through. You see it would be just
as cheap to go through Wonderland
when the president did and all the tour
lists were planning the trip so as to be
OH the road, through the Park, while
the president and his party We're en-
route.
THE transportation company that
had the task of taking the president
through Wonderland, cut out for its
share of the work. has been all torn UP
over the project. New coaches have been
fitted up and the best horses money
could buy hav been purchased and
trained for the trip. The expert stage
drivers Of eastern Montana have been
employed to guide the coaches and
matched teams. six horses each, have
been purchased to draw the new coaches.
THE roads in the Park have all been
put in good condition. too, and nothing
has been neglected that would insure
the president pleasant trip. 1t is just
as well, however. that the president did
not take the trip as far as Mrs. MeKin-
ley's health is concerned. There isn't
the slightout doubt but the trip would
be too hard for her, at this time of the
year. It's no snap to make the rounds
OF the Park before the middle of sum-
mer."
Sheriff M. w. Potter of Red Lodge and
Terry Fleming of the same busy little
city. We're in Butte yesterday afternoon
and left on the evening train for home.
Both gentlemen are well known in the
eastern part Of the state and also have
many friends and acquaintance in Butte
with whom they visited while in town.
Sheriff Potter is one of the wheel
horses of the republican party in east
ern Montana and made hot race last
fall for the sheriff's Office. He has put
the gambling business out of the county
since he took office and has won the
thanks of the people of the county for
his zeal in enforcing the law. Although

ministration is proving good one.
