About two pounds and a half OF silver
trimmings Of the bride, saddle, and
clothing OF some Spanish grandee or
officer OF Coronedo's army was found
hidden away IN a small. dry cave up
among the almost inaccessible rocks on
the 200. 0OO-acre ranch belonging to c. w.
Post, IN Cara county, Tex, about $50
miles west OF Fort Worth.
There are disks OF silver about three
inches In diameter, and smaller disks.
evidently intended for the head piece
of a bride. Then there are various
long strips intended to cover the straps
of a bride. Many of these pieces are
rudely carved and engraved. Among
the relics are a variety OF chains at
tached 70 large silver earrings; at the
end Of these chains dangle small silver
crosses and crescents.
In about 1850 Coronado put OFF north
from the City OF Mexico with a small
army, with the avOwed purpose Of dis
covering the mines from which tho Az

and silver everywhere in evidence. His
journey was continued north and across
the Rio Grande. then up through this
portion Of Texas and clear up Into the
plains OF Kansas. The point where
these silver relics were uncovered is a

The Public Is Warned by Proclamation
Against the Further Carrying off of
Specimens.

Los Angeles. Jan. Copies of Pres
ident Roosevelt's proclamation setting
aside the "petrified forests" of ella and
Apache counties. in Arizona, as a
"petrified forest national monument"
have been received here. The procla-
nation, which is based upon an act of
congress of June s. 1906. declares that
the "Mesozoic forests. commonly
known as 'petrified forests in the ter
ritory OF Arizona, situated upon the
public lands owned and controlled by
the United States are of the greatest
scientific interest and value and 1t ap-
pears that the public good would be
promoted by reserving these deposits
of fossilized wood as a national monu-
ment with as much land as may be
necessary for the proper protection
thereof"
The proclamation concludes: Warn
ing is hereby given to all unauthOr-
lied persons not to appropriate. eXca-
vate. injure or destroy any OF the min
eralized forest remains, hereby de-
clared to be a national monument. or
settle upon any lands reserved and

statement: THE proposed strike Of
the firemen on the Union Pacific in the
face of the separate agreement made
with them in April and without dis
satisfaction or a desire to leave the
service of the company will leave the
men without the support Of the state
and federal government. The situa-
tion, already serious, will be further
extended and intensified by causing

Unless the railroad management has

As a Result of the interstate Commerce
Commissions Investigation
lt Has Been Found That the Railroads Have Not Been
MaliciOus1y Wrong but DO y ot Really Understand
the Transportation Problem.

Washington. Jan. 2.-The causes. but
not the cure for the car shortage in
the northwest and the consequent colI
famine in North Dakota. have been de-
termined by members of the interstate
commerce commission participating in.
the recent hearings at Chicago and
Minneapolis. Franklin h Lane. chair
man of the Investigating committee.
today filed a report with the full COM
mission and sent it to Presiden.
Roosevelt who ordered the inquiry.
He finds: "The inference from ali
the testimony is that the real cause
OF the car shortage in North Dakota
was such an abundance of west bound
traffic at the head of the lakes that
ears We're not available"
Mr.. Lame says the report will be fol-
lowed in due course by a special rec
ommendatiOn of the commission as TO
the legislation deemed advisable.
Referring to the report that the coal
shortage was due to the. presence OF a
trust or combination btween dealers In
coal which had fixed prices in the
northwest and refused to sell to "out:-
siders" and "irregulars' the report
says: THE commission gained indis-
putable proof Of an agreement between
coal dealers To maintain prices and 10
oyC oft all who did not 81 agree tTl
To evidence at all jUstifying the Gun
tention that this combination l.
chargeable with the coal shortage pre-
vailing. nor that the railroads were a
party in any way to such conspiracy
In considering the evidence taken.
Mr.. Lane says that the plan for a pro-
posed car clearing house or car pool
between connecting lines is regarded
with much favor. He says this plan
alone would not overcome the trans
portatiOn difficulties, if the measure
merely provided for the punishment of
a railroad for the non placing Of cars
or the non movement thereof. Sum
ming up the report, Mr.. Lane says
the real cause of the car shortage may
lie in the too conservative character
