SUN TEMPLE, MESA
VERDE NATIONAL PARK

A new and mysterious type of pre-
historic ruin which has recently been
discovered is described in a publica-
ton entitled Excavation and Repair
of Sun Temple, Mesa Verde National
Park" by j. Walter Fewkes, which
has just been issued by the depart
ment of the interior. This ruin is
of type hitherto unknown in the
park and it shows the best masonry
and is the most mysterious structure
yet discovered in a region rich in so
many prehistoric remains. Although
at first there was some doubt as to
the use of this building, It was early
recognized that it was not construct
ed for habitation, and it is now be-
lieved that it was intended for the
performance of rites and ceremonies;
the first of it's type devoted to religi-
Gus purposes yet recognized in the
southwest. This publication. which
may be obtained from the superin-
tendent of documents. government
printing Office, Washington. D. c.,
for Is cents, contains a description
of the ruin and an account of the
methods of excavation and recon-
struction. The exact age OF the ruin
is somewhat problematicai. but a
large juniper that grew on the
mound about the wall gave clue to
the time that has elapsed since the
structure was abandoned. This tree
undoubtedly sprouted after the de-
sertion of the building and grew af-
ter mound had developed from
fallen walls. Its roots penetrated
into the adjacent rooms and derived
nourishment from the soil filling
them. A section of this tree at that
point was found to have $50 annual
rings; it's heart was decayed. but it's
size suggested other rings, and that
Few more years can be added to its
age. 1t is not improbable that this
tree began to grow on the top of the
sun Temple mound shortly after the
year 1910, when Coronado first en-
tered New Mexico, but how great an
interval elapsed during which the
walls fell to form the mound in
which it grew and how much earlier
the foundations of the ruined walls
were laid no one can tell. A con-
servative guess of $50 years is al
iowable for the interval between con-
Struction and the time the cedar be-
gan to sprout, thus carrying the an
uqulty of Sun Temple back to about
1900 A. d.

Of this period, put in twenty-five sea-

The day before Christmas Miss
Linda left Chickasha to spend the
holidays with relatives at her cid
home in Durant. Just before en- train.
ing from this city the young lady lost
her pocket book containing some ten
or twelve dollars in cash and a num-
Der OF valuable papers. Miss Linda
placed a lost adj in the Express and
went on her way to Durant. Yester-
day, following her return from her
Christmas vacation, Miss Linda was
most agreeably surprised when a
gentleman dropped into her office at
the court house and. after stating he
had seen the ad in the Express, told
her he had found the pocket book and
returned the same to her.

The present-day fans look upon
Honus Wagner and Larry Lajoie as
the most ancient of ancients in base
ball. While these boys have been cal
vorting the diamond green for many
moons, yet they are school kids when
compared to some Of the players OF
the past. For instance, look at the
baseball career of a certain James
O'Rourke, who played the outfield and
was at one time the star catcher Of
the New York Giants. O'Rourke's of
fetal record began in the year 1876;
that is, his major league record
For seventeen seasons after that
the Orator, as O'Rourle was called,
was star in the big show, and for
sixteen years Hon. James was a CEN
tral figure in the Connecticut State
league. He played in several posi-
tions, and one season his son played
on the team the Orator managed. So
for thirty-three seasons James
ORourke reported for duty every
spring in the pink of condition.
Then we have Uncle Adrian Arson,
who for twenty-six seasons blossomed
out with the same old def that she
had the pennant already cinched. The
big chief made good his predictions
on many occasions. Then came Jack
Glasscock, the king of all shortstops,
and old Eagle Eye Beckley, two play
ers who were no springers when they
started in the game, and when they

 STATEMENT OF SHEER
Mining Engineer Of San Francisco Declares Young est State Has The Greatest Future In The Country

ARIZONA HAS GREAT =. =. ...-
 That Arizona has more possibilities for the coming and present genera. tion, particularly with regard to min ing in all its branches, is the belief of Frank L. Sizer, consulting mining engineer of San Francisco and promi- nent in his profession all over the country. Sizer is on a tour of exam ination in Southern Arizona and is spending a couple of days in Bisbee and Douglas meeting some old friends.
 "Of all the states in the west" de- clared the visitor, Arizona appears to have more potent possibilities than all of the balance. It is a mighty good state to tie to for the young man who is looking toward a future
 ''The present price of the metals will be adjusted by the law of supply and demand in due time That pro- cess will not affect the development of the state, in my opinion. It will merely place it upon a more solid basis"
 The visiting mining man, at one time, was the consulting engineer for Senator W. A. Clark. the owner of the United Verde. He was located in Butte and is known all over the west. Last year, for a number of months. he was in charge of the mining opera tions at the Mascot, near Dos Cabezos. On the present trip he has visited the Vulture at Wickenburg and a prop erty at Chloride. Before returning to San Francisco he will go to Ruby. in Santa Cruz county, where he will make an examination of a lead-zinc-silver property for California mining syn dicate.
