GEMS ARE FOUND IN
 OLD MEXICO

At the time of the fall of Mexico City, the conquering Spaniards found in the royal treasury precious stones, mostly turquoise, opal and sapphire. The last named were large and fine
 The opals are mined at Queretaro. the turquoises are found in various places, but the source of the sapphire has always remained a mystery.
 About eight years ago 8 young Am erican found stone in the district. of Moctezuma, about four leagues southwest from Granados, which he afterwards took to Fl Paso and sold for a few dollars. This stone was eventually sold to Tiffany for $75.00, gold, being pronounced a sapphire
 Over twenty years ago an American came into the western foothills of the Sierra Madre, to the eastward of Bacadehuachi, having a plat of cer- tain section of country which plat mad as it's central figure the ruins of an ancient pueblo. He succeeded in locat- ing the ruins with the aid of an old Indian who went with him. The In- dian said the man started from the pueblo and went about half a mile down a small stream to a high bank of yellowish gravel and drift where he began to wash and carefully in spect the small stones.
 All at once he jumped up, took off his hat and shouted Viva Mexico" He held small stone which he told the Indian was worth more than gold, and he was much excited over the find
 The prospector remained some five days. Meanwhile the Indian return ed to a settlement, where he was joined by the foreigner. who told him he needed no more in this world; that he was going to San Francisco and would return soon to get title to the land and would fix the Indian beyond need for the rest of his life. He also offered to take the latter along, but the Indian did not want to risk get ting so far away. The American went out by Bacerac, where he tried to persuade a Mexican he had seen before to accompany him out. He al so refused, but another Mexican, thinking the man carried something of great value. offered to go to the United States line with him and mur- dered him on the way out.
 This story seems to be capable of corroboration in many particulars, and would suggest diamonds, but the Indian said he did not examine the stone the man held up, nor could he give its color, as he was not near enough at the moment
 During a campaign in the trouble with the French, Mexican general was shown diamond which came from reddish clay in the state of Guerrero. He expected to return and take what data he had as to the loca- ton of the find, and try to secure the ground, but died before he had oppo-- tunity to do so.
 Not far from the diamond, or what ever it may have been, field, told of above, a story also comes to the writ CT of rubies found in the upper Boni- to between Nacari Chico and Dolores. but this is too indefinite to bear much weight. It points to gravel deposits to the eastward from Sate- chi.
 Prospectors should always watch out on hills and in gravel washes for precious stones. They may occur anywhere in Mexico and the lucky finder needs no million dollar smell ter, just burro, maybe leather bag, and the world is his.

TABLES ARE TURNED ON
 FAIR COMMISSIONER

PHOENIX, Nov. 1S.-An unexpected development appeared in the justice court of Captain Parker this morning as an outgrowth of the discussion be- tween J. c. Adams and Jake Cottrell on the night the fireworks were post poned. Following the fracas, Mir. Adams entered a complaint against Cottrell, charging assault and battery, and large list of witnesses was sum- moned.
 This morning Mr Adams had the case dismissed at his own expense, paying the costs. Cottrell immediate Iy turned around and made complaint, charging Commissioner Adams with assault and battery, and had all the witnesses summoned by Adams sub poenaed, remarking that he would bring him into the police court, any how.
 Cottrell and Mir. Adams had some words at the fair grounds, it is said, though it is not reported that the com missioner struck the complainant. It lis presumed that only technical as- 'sault is to be established in this in stance. MT. Adams, it appears, de- sired to let the matter drop rather than be bothered with prosecuting the offense charged against Cottrell, but the latter was not in frame of mind to allow the incident to be closed this morning. The trial is set for Thurs day at g o'clock.

THE STORY.

II AGGAI did not often pass that
II way. but on this particular morn
ing. moved by some strange i'm
pulse. he had eseended the heights to-
ward the temple site and stood view
ing the desolate ruins.
To the heart OF the deyout prophet
the sight brought but one feeling. that
OF encouragement and doubt
Could il be that the temple was
ever TO be completed" he asked him
self. and then by way Of answer shook
his head in a detected way. while the
tears filled his eyes and a sigh burst
from his lips
Fifteen years before he had been
among the colonists who had returned
to Jerusalem from the captivity in
Babylon and had hopefully begun the
building Of the city and the temple.
And while the enthusiasm lasted the
work vent on splendidly. The CITY
began 10 take on something OF It's
old-time activity. The people rebuilt
their homes and the ruins of the
temple had been partially cleared
away and the foundation Of a new
structure begun.
Then had come the check in the
work caused by the jealous Sauari-
tans. and now for IL years nothing
further had been done towards re-
building the temple Of God. The walls
were overgrown with vine and bush
for nature is never idle. but with
sympathetic touch seems to try To oh
literate the evidence Of mans neglect
But the very luxuriance Of natures
covering only emphasized the neglect
the more. IL was a sight which Has-
gai did not like to behold. and il was
seldom be came thither.
VIII il ever be completed. he
again asked himself. as he picked his
way over the rock-strewn ground and
seated himself upon one OF the larger
OF the stones which had been hewn
ready for its place in the wall so long
before
From his vantage point on the tenn
PIE si4e he could look out over tie
city Hing below He marked the
eoodly dwellings which had been
reared by the people since their re-
turn he saw the smoke lazily creep

courts a the houses and where he
knew thS women were busy preparing
