thirty mummies found in Inc cliff dwellings in Colorado and nov preserved in the state museum at Denver, all have either red or light brown hair, very thin skulls and large brain cavities, all of which are exclusive characteristics of the white races. Their hair Is also as fine as silk, something that Is never true of the hair of the dark races. Who knows but that our very remote ancestors were the cliff dwellers of this country and grad ually drifted with the centuries around the globe to where the Anglo o-Saxons first appear in our written history. Stranger things than that have happened.

 Yuma Sun: The old section men along the P. & E. have gone on strike. They were paid $1.50 per day by the Santa Fe company but were cut to $1.25 per day when the $. P. company took possession of the P. & E. The demand for labor in this Territory at present is unprecedented and any effort to reduce wages under these condi- tions cannot be successful. Sup ply and demand regulate wages just the same as they regulate the price of commodities. The demand in Arizona is ahead of the supply here and will continne to be for some time if the era of develop ment now in full blast should con- tinue indefinitely as it probably will.
 Tucson Sun: Some time last fall a railroad brakeman by name of J. J. Griffin, was arrested charged with the robbing of his own train. He was accused of break ing in a car and taking there from several dressing and suit cases. The case was to have been heard on Wednesday, but the charge was withdrawn and the defendant discharged. This how ever, was not the end of his troubles as he was immediately rearrested under a United States statute, and the case set for the 29th. After his discharge, his attorneys, Messrs Worsley & Drachman filed suit on his behalf against the railroad company for $15,0O0. The case has, in railroad circles, attracted much attention.
 Yuma Sun: Prospectors return ing from the Copper mountain bring not only wonderful samples of the mineral, but of the vegetable king dom as we'll. A century plant blossom measuring fully fifteen in- ches in circumference and with bright yellow flowers is the latest sample brought in. The plant, which IS rare one, grows twenty feet high and the blossoms branch | out five feet from the top of the i plant. The finders had no little trouble in getting the blossom, as the main stalk. which looks green and tender, is as tough as leather and as unyielding as a post. In California a similar plant with white flower is called yucca, and is as beautiful as any of the wild flowers which grow in the state. The main stalk of both desert and coast varieties appears like an i'm mense asparagus.

discovery of their flight was made bv
a neighbOr named Pierce. He told
Others, and a search Of the premises ;
was begun. We found n trapdoor in
the floor, and below It, in the cellar
the gravel flooring was stained with ;
blood. In the garden we found several !
places where the earth had sunk. The :
most recent appearing of these we dug Z
into and found there the body of DR.. I

way found sixteen bodies. II I remem- n
