INTERESTING RUINS

That the Salt River valley was once inhabited by a vanished race has long been known but that one and one-half miles northwest of Mesa there lie the ruins of what evidently was once an immense fortified building. is not known. even to a number of people who live here. While there remains nothing but an uneven mound, yet even the top of this is covered with small broken bits of pottery. There is evidence Of the four sides of an adobe enclosure about 600 feet on each side and in the center of this is the mound referred to. Excavations to some slight extent have been made at different times by prl- vate individuals, prompted by curlos- itv to ascertain what lay beneath the surface. and these have revealed pot tery of various sorts, arrow heads and stone mallet heads. The excavations have disclosed the fact that the build ing was divided into oblong rooms and one explorer dug down through what evidently was a chimney for there were four fire places leading into II and around these were grouped num- erous articles of pottery Charcoal found beneath the surface would indi- cate that the building was destroyed by fire It is presumed that the twelve miles of former irrigation ditch. found by early settlers in the valley was dug bv these same people. and there are smaller ruins for some distance around the larger pile. It is unfortunate that the walls crumble shortly after being exposed to the mir and sun. but grow ing curiosity on the part of portion of the residents of this locality Will doubtless lead to a complete eXplora- ton at some time in the future.

THE GENTLEMAN

The gentleman is never unduly fla miliar; takes no liberties; is chary of questions; is neither artificial nor ar fected; is as little ohstrusive upon the mind of feelings of others as on their persons: bears himself tenderlv to- ward the weak and unprotected; is not arrogant. cannot be supercilious: can be self denying without struggle; is not vain of his advantages, extrin- sic or personal; habitually subordin- ates his lower to his higher self; Is, in his best condition, electric with truth, buoyant with veracity.
 Gentlemanhood is not comDassed by imitation. because inward life is not imitable: nor is it purchasable, be- cause refinement cannot be bought: nor but partially inheritable. because nature discountenances monopolies It is not superficial, its externals being the tokens of internal needs. its em- bellishments part and parcel of it's substances-George Henry Calvert.

A GUN CHASE

City Marshal NJ. C. Browning. Pres ident J. B. Cook of the Pacific Cream cry and Will Cook a brother to the creamery president. engaged in an ex- citing gun chase with two Mexicans yesterday morning when they visited the company's ranch on the river bed to invite the two men to move out of a house they had been occupying there for several days. Well armed. the trio bore down upon the abode. but still at distance of 30 yards or more. the Mexicans sighted them and took to the brush. A chase ensued and when the men were encountered again and or dered to stop but declined. fire was opened on them. The thickness of the brush. however. made accurate shoot ing impossible and they successfully effected their escape up the river bot tom. The two fellows had been on the ranch for several days and at the re- quest of MT. Co~k, the marshal went ont with him to ascertain if possible, who they were and what they were do- ing there. Why they made such a nasty retreat though. seems peculiar. especially when they were under fire It is thought that thev ere possibly fugi- tives from the law and were in hiding there
