 DIGGING FOR RELICS
Harry DearsIey Makes Inter- esting Find On Salt River
 Valley Ranch.

Hasry Dearsley. one-time amateur champion heavyweight boxer of Eng land, has turned archeologist. and has recently made several important dis coveries on his ranch about five miles west of Phoenix.
 From large mound, covering near ly two acres, Dearsley has had dug several holes, from which has been taken a large earthen jar containing human bones. =.
 This grewsome find was made about five feet from the surface. along with considerable pottery. most of which crumbled and fell apart when ex- posed for a short time to the action of the air
 So far Dearsley has done but lit tie work, only prospecting what ap- pears to have been the burial ground for race of people that once lived and thriyed in the Salt river valley, but has since disappeared.
 In the opinion of Dearsley. the mound was the burial ground of Az tees. evidences of whose power in Ari- zona hundreds of years ago can be found in many places.
 
 dead at rest in this sepulchre mus have been. If they had large canal systems. as the historians believe, the heavy rains of centuries and the heavy soil on which it fell have de- stroyed all evidence of their water ways near this burial ground.
 Perhaps half a dozen holes have been dug in the mounds, ,ne ceepest not more than six feet. and in each of them pottery and bones have been the result. Two stone hatchets have been part of the rewnc- Tor the labor done.
 One of these stone hatchets. which Dearsley now has at his ranch-house is a murderous looking weapon. From it's appearance it had great deal If use before being buried with the bones of the Aztec who wielded ii. The other .hatchet also shows much use.
 Dearsley is of the opinion that if the mound was systematically dug up. important discoveries might be made. discoveries that would proba- bly throw some ligllt on the early his .0rv of the Salt river valley and the tile known people who titled the soil here before the discovery of Colum- bus.
 The bones found by Dearsley are evidently those of a young person, the under jaw and part of the bridge of the mouth being the best pre- served. Other bones were found in part. though some had crumbled until there was little left but dust.

MATRIMONIAL MARKET 0h THE T0BOGGAN
Judge McDonaId Offers Club Rates to Couples During

DOUGLASS. Ariz.. Dec 1s.-The matrimonial market is looking up these days. ss
 Judge Mcdonald yesterday per formed two wedding ceremonies and this. morning license for a third was issued.
 One of the contracting couples of yesterday were Mexicans and the oth. e- were negroes.
 Judge Mcdonald ascribes the wave of matrimonial fervor and popularity to the approaching holidays, all good lovers being desirous of making pres ents to each other of themselves.
 His honor, insofar as the matter of race suicide is concerned. sentimental ly and for business reasons, concurs with Theodore Roosevelt. He thinks this a crime and argues that 1t should - abated. Consequently, as offering sbe most acceptable solution to the .roblem. Judge MrDopald encourages ,,, much as possible the ceremony 0, marriage.
 n furtherance of his eminently proper and disinterested ideas on the subject Judge McDonalds is contem- plating the announcement of special rates for ceremonies during the holi- days. Re proposes not only to make special rates for individual couples, but be will make club rates, and in addition will throw in cook book guaranteed not to bring about cause for divorce within one year, at least, and will give all aspiring couples a good amount of wholesome advice. He may even present them with writ ten treatise of advice. And he ought to be an authority on such subjects, for paver a day passes but what in his official capacity he is interviewed by some man or woman who has q complaint of some kind against his other half
