The PrehiStOricS of ftheSOuthWeSt
By ruIman Stout Rush. M. A. Ph., D.

In my University days archaeol- ogy had peculiar fascination for me, which later became a hobby, and when l. came to Arizona seven years ago I devoted much time to explor- ing ancient ruins and cliff dwellings of northern Gila County. To my delight ad satisfaction I made some startling discoveries, which I have discussed with such men as Dr. Ian Hannah and President Wright of Oberlin College, the former mem- Der of the Royal Society of Antiqui- ties of Edinburgh, and the latter the author of the Age of Man. They both concur in my theory that the prehistoric of the Southwest was of Egyptian origin.
 Since establishing the Egypticity of the prehistoric dweller of this country I have made other discov- cries. Some of these facts have been gathered through the work done by others and some by myself. I feel 
 facts have been clearly established:
 It has been a question with many what became of that race of people which once lived in these buildings OF the plains that are now only ruins. From what have seen and heard I have come to the conclusion that they were exterminated instantly by some kind of a poisonious gas at tended by intense. heat My theory is supported by the fact that wher- ever corn has been found in these ruins it has been parched,s as though having been in an oven. Many of the skeletons which have been uncov- cred have been found as though at work when overtaken by the sudden calamity. For instance, a skeleton was unearthed near Globe bending over metate. Underneath the grinding stone, upon which rested the bones of the fingers, was a quan- tity of parched corn. Death had overtaken the grinder instantly and there must ha~o been an intense heat surrounding the victim to have par ched the corn and yet not reduce it to ashes.
 It is a deplorabIe fact that much of the excavating in Arizona has been only digging" with no thought of trying to discover the habits of the people who lived here in the long. ago.
 Since coming to Greenlee Count, and viewing some of the ruins and talking with some of the people who have done some digging, I am convinced that there is very rich field for research here and within | the next few weeks expect to do some scientific excavating myself
 Geology clearly establishes the fact that we have here two ages of for nation, one of the Silurian and the other of the Devonian. What I hope to establish beyond all question is the approximate age at which the prehistoric of this country perished
 There is no doubt in my mind that the age of the ruins date back seven and ten thoisand years.

Cause of Appendicitis

When the bowels are constipated, the lower bowels or large .intestines become packed with refuse matter, that's made up largely of germs, enter the vermiform appendix and set up inflammation, which is commonly known as appendicitis. Take Cham berlain's Tablets when needed and keep your bowels regular and you have little to fear from appendicitis.

MINING IN THE
 DUNCAN DISTRICT

Mining operations in the Duncan vicinity are at present practically at q stand-still, due to conditions in gen. eral in the metal markets of the world.
 Nothing of interest has yet been announced pertaining to the reported sale of the Ash Peak silver mine, located west of town, but it is under stood that the sale will be completed within the coming month. The same can be said regarding the Ash Peak Extension property, which adjoins the Ash Peak property. A small force of men is at present engaged at the Ash Peak Extension mine, the work consisting mainly of the assessment work for the present year.
 It is safe to predict that within the next few months there will be con siderable activity in the Ash Peak district
 Jack Tipton and associates have given bond and lease on their property in the Steeplerock mining district in New Mexico to w. J. Pruitt, of Globe, who is at present on the property doing some prelimin- ary work
 The Mount Royal property, form erly operated by the Duncan Mining & Milling company remains idle, as does also the 100-ton mill on the property. It is reported that Jas. White, who is in control of the prop erty, plans to resume operations this fall.
 The c. & A minng company of Bisbee has ceased operations at the Norman King mine. at Clear Lake, and has removed all their equipment from the property.
 Geo. Wilson, of Globe. who con. trols the Carlisle property and other mines in the Steeplerock district. was a visitor to that district recent ly. He made no announcement as to his plans concerning operations while in the district.

Washington, Aug. ga proposal
that the strike in anthracite coal fields
be settled on the basis of the wage
scales in effect last April was advanced
through Senator Pepper of Pennsyyi-
vania Tuesday night at conference
of representatives. of operators and
mine union officials. Some of those
participating in the conference ex.-
pressed the belief that the proposal
offered hope of ending the long sus-
pension in the hard coal fields.
Under the proposal the controversial
issue of arbitration as means of
reaching agreement on wages would be
set entirely aside and the only import
ant question to be decided would be
that of how long the compromise would
be effective.
Senator Pepper and his associate
from Pennsylvania, Senator Reed, who
also participated in the preliminary
conference, left the meeting after the

Influx of Settlers
to Canada Expected
to Start Next Year
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Lethbridge, Alta, Aug. 29.-On his
return from a business trip to the
middle western states, j. J. Floyd, of
the Floyd Packing company, Warner,
Alberta, and Dayton, Ohio, predicts
large influx of American settlers into
western Canada next spring. Tight
ness of money, he says, is the only
thing that kept back this trek this
year.
Mr.. Floyd found that farmers were
looking for cheaper land and escape
from high taxation. They were look
ing toward Canada, and the adjacent
states, Montana and Washington, as
the most logical country in which to
seek new homes. The Canadian gov
ernment, according to Mr.. Floyd, is
meeting with excellent success in their
new scheme of featuring at county
fairs western Canada display of soil
products.

CONTROL PLAN
GAINING FAVOR
IN WASHINGTON
Passage of Bill Would
Strengthen Hold of u.
S. in Strike Mess.
Coal Situation Serious,
Says Cummins, in Re-
port on Fuel Puzzle.

Washington, Aug. 29.-(By the As
sociated Press ).-Smouldering official
opinion in favor of a presidential
authorization to take over railroads and
coal mines not operated at highest
efficiency was revived in congress
Tuesday when it was made known at
the White House that President Hard
ing still held that such a grant of
power was desirable although he was
without any idea of using the author
ity except in a case of direct public
necessity.
One immediate result of the re-
newed discussion of government oper-
alton was the prospect that the house
might be called upon at short notice to
put itself on record in the matter.
Representative Johnson, republican,
South Dakota, announced his intention
to offer Wednesday an amendment to
the administration coal control bill
which would give the president the
authority he was said to desire. Sew
eral other members of the house indi-
Gated that they also would submit
amendments with the same purpose in
view, although congressional leaders
generally predicted no such legisla-
ton would be passed for the present.
Would Assure Safety
As explained at the White House,
the presidents attitude is that the ad-
ministration's hold on the situation
would be strengthened Fif it had as a
foundation the potential power to take
over a single railroad or system of
carriers, single mine or q series of
mining properties which had been
shown clearly to have failed TO render
the public full service.
Mr. Harding it was declared. be-
lieved that the bituminous coal indus
try was working out its own problem
under the impetus of the practical
settlement reached at Cleveland, and
held further that the anthracite strike
would be settled shortly.
Should this forecast be born out By
developments, it was said at the White
House the railroad tangle would be
left as the only industrial knot of great
Importance and in this connection the
administration policy as outlined Tues
day was said to be constructed on a
strict enforcement of existing law
which guarantees safety of life and
property and maintenance of necessary
public service.
A less optimistic view of the fuel
situation was taken by Chairman Cum
minis of the senate interstate commit
tee. in his report ON the coal control
bill.
Situation Called Grave.
THE present situation is an exceed
ingly grave one" the report declared
adding that unless the railroads sue
ceeded in measurably increasing their
facilities for handling coal the situa'
ton would be the same as though the
bituminous strike were still in progress
throughout the industry.
The senate committee approved ar
amendment in reporting the Winslov
bill for federal coal control. announced
that the proposal for federal fue
agency had been definitely abandoned
at that ''the president is in accord witt
this conclusion"
