New Ore Body In the Quartz King Mine, Owned Largely by European Roy alty--Company Officials Now at the Mine.

CTom Shultz, Special Corespondent)
 Wickenburg, Nov. 6.-Again the stoned Hassayampa produces one of those connecting links between pre- historic times and the pulsing life of these twentieth century days. This time the gap is bridged by natures own hand. unaided by cliff dweller Aztec or other representative of the genus hand. Here is the story: At some time in the dim and misty past two turtles, stunning themselves on the banks of the stream now known as the Hassayampa were overwhelmed by a landslide and buried deep under an avalanche of earth and rock. Whether they remained entombed a million years or only a thousand or two has not been definitely ascer- tained. It is only known that when some recent shifting of the Hassa- yampa's banks partially revealed the long buried crustaceans the last yes tige. of flesh and muscle. of vein and tissue, had long ago disappeared, and only the empty, earthstaine shells re- mained. It was at this point that na- ture. which abhors a vacuum, got in one of her twentieth century stunts and filled the void between those gaping shells.
 A gentle hint to the queen of a colony of wild bees was all that was required to tourn the trick. The colo ny was delighted to find two ready made storehouses for it's winter sup
