It is from the historical writings of

are accessible to all. that DR. Williston
has acquainted himself with the rec

They are brief and, in most particu-
lars very indefinite. The facts in them
were furnished from writings of early
Spanish and French soldiers and voy-
ageurs Previous to DR. Williston's ex-

DR.. FAHRIC TALKS.
Gives His Side of Controversy
With Topeka People.

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug 11.-Dr. Ernest
Fahrig inventor of the "bauxogen"
process, who resides here, denies en-
phatically that his resignation from the
Commercial museums had any connec-
ton with his exploitation of "bauxogen'
in Kansas. His resignation, he said, was
made for an entirely different cause.
DR.. Fahrig when seen here today was
bitter against what he terms the land
boomers" of the west. They are try
ing to rob me of what is justly due me-
he said with bitterness, when question:
ed about the threatened suit of the
stockholders of the Fahrig Mining and
Milling company to recover the amount
paid him for a quantity of his "bauxo-
gen..
As to disclosing the secret of his pro-
cess now that a suit is threatened he
said:
Why should 1? Although I have
been unable to profitably work the sbale
fields as yet. still have thorough con-
fidence in my discovery. No. 1 cannot
tell you what the properties of 'bauxo-
gen are because 1 hardly know my
self yet. 1t is principally electrolytic.

away. Why may not preserve my
secret?
The gist of the matter is these people
in Topeka want to boom their land to
a figure as high as 81. 900 an acre, pre-
tending it is a gold producing country.
1t will take many years of tests to de-
velop the lands to such a point"
In his laboratory at his home Dr.
Fahrig has samples of "bauXogen." 1t
is not a chemical form of aluminium, as
Is claimed by some westerners, he says.
His discovery was made while expert
menting with ozone in Baltimore some
years ago.
DR.. Fahrig asserts that his element is
a. sort of cure for all ills" 1t can be

rendered uninhabitable the pueblos in
which it was discovered. 1t is to the
fact of its charring that the grain owes
its preservation. Crisp. black almost
pure carbon, many of the grains of corn
are yet of perfect size and form. The
corn was raised by a colony of south
western Indians who settled the we'll
Watered valley of Beaver creek in Scott
county in 1850 and for so years or more
titled the soil adjoining their Pueblo
dwellings.
It was in the investigation of these
pueblos that this interesting remnant Of
historic agriculture was uncovered by
Mr. Martin, who holds the position of
curator of the natural history museum
at the university. His Investigations
were made in September, 1899. and were
infinitely careful and accurately record
ed. 1t is principally to DR.. S. w. Willis
ton, now of the University of Chicago,
that Kansas owes the investigation of
the ruined village. The corn is but one
of numerous relics of it's former habita-
ton, procured from the pueblo by Mr.
Martin. Pottery, bone, stone and iron
implements and a careful description Of
the structures Of the village are preserv-
ed as result of the investigation. The
ruins, located y miles north of Scott
City, have been known for years, by the
residents of the vicinity but were never
tntelligently examined previous to a
hasty visitation by DR.. Williston in 1898
which preceded Mr. Martins expedition.

stream. filled by water drained from the
chalk hills through which it flows. From
It irrigation is conducted in the vicinity.
Early settlers of the country are said
to have found and put to use an irri-
cation ditch dug and used by the people
who built and lived in the pueblos. The
owner Of the property on which the vii
lage stands H d. Steele irrigates in
bitches believed to have been thus re-
excavated for present day use
In a description of the ruins, shortly
after Mr.. Martins visit in 1899, DR.. VIII
Iston said:
THE ruins are situated near the mid
die of the valley, close to the stream,
and away from any possible ambush
by hostile savages. They occupy a
small knoll of ground and, as first seen
by US, consisted of a low rounded heap
of soil and stone, perhaps 70 or 100 feet
in diameter, the soil wholly overgrown
by buffalo grass. The rocks are the
coarse sandstone of the neighbo1ing
hills"
OF the origin of the pueblo DR.. VIII
1iston ventures the following opinion:
"One fact is established from the ex-
plorations-the ruins are of Pueblo ORR
gin. OF this there can be no question
The plan of the structure is only such
as the Pueblo Indians could have de-
vised and carried out. It is not the
work of white men, either French OF
Spanish although it is very probable
that both the Spaniards and the French
may have occupied this and other struc-
lures at this locality at later times OF

NEW YORK, May 19.-The officials

that determined effort is being made

For the last month the unions have
