FALLS into ANCIENT
ANCIENT Cave BONE
Mexican Shepherd PIunges
Through Earth IN Chamber
Of Skeletons

SANTA FEE, N. NJ, May 9.-While
standing on top of one of the many
mounds near Magdalena, in the billy
county of Socorro, Ursulo Borrego, a
shepherd, sank knee deep in the soft
earth. He struggled to free himself
and suddenly plunged on through the
crust of ground, fell through space for
20 feet and landed on a stone floor.
He had discovered one Of the apart.
ments of a communal dwelling be-
lieved to be centuries old.
Borrego, aided by light which came
in at the opening he had made in fall
ing, explored the room, which con-
tanned several Skeletons, charred red
corn and many pieces Of pottery, sam-
pies of which he took with him to
Magdalena as confirmation Of his
story. Such pottery has sold for $500
a piece whenever it has been found.
The hole through which Borrego fell
luckily was close to the wall OF the
prehistoric room, and after providing
about he was able to climb to the sur
face by gaining footholds in the
stones.

the room found by the shepherd is one
OF several subterranean dwellings or
part of an old cliff house, over which

MILLIONS ARE UNCLAIMED.
Sum Of $4,000, 900 Due Missing Per-
sons in Hands Of England.

LONDON, May 9.-The sum of $780,
O0O, 900 is in the hands of the British
government waiting to be claimed by
the rightful owners or their heirs.
According to Sidney H. Preston,
who has made study of this subject,
a recently issued parliamentary paper
ows that the dividends on govern.
ment stocks "due and not demanded'
on January 3, 1912, were $324,075. The
non-claimants were in all likelihood
investors who have died.
"The greater portion of these
sums SIS said Mr. Preston yesterday,
lis handed over to the government IN
reduction of taxation, on the under
standing that when claimants make
good their case the sums they are en-
titled to are reimbursed.
"The total amount of accumulated
unclaimed stock and dividends taken
over in this way is about $25 600. 600,
and l estimate that there is over &c.,
000, 900 in hand unappropriated, max
ing $35 100000 in all.
There seems to be no reason why
the names and last known addresses
OF the stockholders should not be
published, seeing that the last list OF
these unclaimed funds was issued as
far back as the year 1845.
I'm no other country could there be
so much derelict gold. The explana'
ton lies in the extent Of the British
empire and the migratory and enter
prising habits of the British popula-
tiOn"

$25 Prizes in Corn Contest.

Yesterday the unity commission

$25 in prizes to the children. For
the best ten ears of corn grown in the
county according to the directions of
the Agricultural college, which is fur

given, over and above what may he
given by the college. For the second
best ten ears, SIS will be given; third,
SO; fourth, 81; and for the next five
sets, 81 each. This should be an
added encouragement to the children

the grain man, on his return, said he

we passed was given a ark in book

note regarding condition, stand and
probable loss of area.
lone feature that struck me most
forcibly was that in sections where
roads were the worst the crop condi-
tons were invariably the poorest,
while it was the reverse where the
roads were good. The hotels, taking
the country over, are nothing to brag
of, and the best We had to eat on an
average was ham and eggs, which
could be relied on with more certainty
than beefsteaks. We tried the latter,
and found them of the sole-leather Or

A story is told of crop expert
who is out for Stock Exchange house

prospects. He is said 10 have gone
into a field, half OF which was poor,
to have picked out the best section,
made his compilations as to the
number of hsads to the square foot
and the kernels in each head, and
then not only estimated the entire
field from this, but also the crop of
the state. 1ngils, the crop reporter, is

Experts who are at work on a sal.

crop territory, as the house they rep
resent pays the expenses, and speed

$3.50, which easily pays the crop ex-
