Prehistoric Ruins and Wonderful

 around Payson, in the northeastern portion of Gila county, Arizona. It is a great copper country and also rich in gold: besides, it is fine cattle cOun- try," said A. Lafavre, who has been there for the past four months, but who is now in Fl Paso. 'Payson is on a tributary of the East Verde river, and is at an elevation of 5,2J0 feet. The gold veins are Assures in granite, those around Gun creek are in slate. This gold belt is 20 miles square, with Payson as a center. On the west side of Tonto basin is the Mazatzal moun- tain, where the Mazatzal Copper con- pany is doing very extensive explora- tion and development work and is showing up some immense bodies of copper ores.
 'There is much wonderful natural scenery around Payson, including a natural bridge holding up 40 acres of land, but the most curious things are
 
 remote antiquity, covered with the de- bris and dry silt. I believe that a highly cultivated race inhabited that country many years ago. It certainly is older than Egypt, Ninevah or Baby lon. I have been familiar with that country over 30 years and have spent in hn The buildings are principally made of sandstone, and show high architectural skill. My belief in their great age is founded on the fact that 1 find in sev- eral places an accumulation of earth 10 or more feet deep covering ruins, which has been gathered, apparently, from the atmosphere-the dust of ages. The earth is not the result of wash or drift from water, as the site of the ruins is high above the surrounding country.
 Tn the walls l excavated I found a box in which were cotton balls. At the present time there is no cotton growing in that country. This slight circumstance leads me to believe that these ancients cultivated cotton.
 ''On another occasion a friend and myself, noting seepage in a foothill in TOnto basin, sank shaft about 20 feet deep to develop water, and un- earthed an ancient well walled up with masonry and near it pottery of exquisite design. In a sealed jar was corn in good preservation. The soil covering that well was an accumula- tion of desert dust, which must have taken centuries to have formed to such thickness.
 ''On the high plateaus of the Mazat- gal range, few thousand feet above the TOnto basin, is an ancient city made of sandstone. Here, owing to its altitude, the ruins are not covered with earth like those below. These walls show unmistakably that both phallic and sun worship prevailed, the former being the oldest known relig-
  over a great area. The famous Casas Grandes ruins, over l5O miles distant, are doubtless the work of the same people.
 "The natural bridge described was really caused by gradual deposit or growth from the minerals of the Verde river. It is not caused by the usual process of erosion. It is built upon the same principle that stalagmites and stalagtites are formed. Every thing near it gradually turns to stone, as exemplified in the petrifed forests. l found a child's leg and foot imbedded in solid rock of silicifed mud. ."-El Paso Herald.
