A correspondent of the Philadel-phia

to tin- Standard Oil Compa-ny,
has purchased 300,000 acres of
land in the West Virginia oil belt,
and propose iu the spring to begin
sinking wells in series of twenties,
each experiment representing an
investment of $100,000. If these
experiments ii, the Weal Virginia
,'ields should be successful, a radi-cal
change would necessarily fol-low
in tin- emit r I of the oil market.
This new field wonld have the ad-vantage,
especiall; in the Western
trade, of cheap water transports
tiim ami a further saving iu the
cost of production, as compared
with the thickly-drilled Pennsylva-nia
regions. The syndicate have
already secured su much land, and
if they strike paying wells they
will practically control this new
source ul supply, and iu a si.oil
lime build up an oil corporation
that might eclipse the Standard.

foot hills of the San Francisco
mountains in the San Juan region
of Arizona. The surface stratum
of the hill had by exposure become
hardened, and formed the common
| roof of the entire community. The
dwellings were excavated" after a
j common pattern, and a description
of one gives an idea of the whole.
They had no inter communication
beneath the surface, anil were only
accessible by means of square holes
leading Irom the surface bv a verti-cal
shaft to the floor of the main
room of Ihe dwelling Foot rests
—holes at convenient distances—
along the sides of Ihe shaft served
the purpose of a stairway.
Descending the shaft the ex
plorers found themselves at the
side of an oval-shaped, arched-roof
room about twenty feel, in its
smallest diameter. At the ends
and in the side opposite the en-trance
low door-ways connected
the main room with smaller rooms,
(he whole suite or dwelling con-sistingof
four apartments. One of
the smaller rooms had its floor ex-cavated
to a depth of two or three
feet below- those of the other rooms
and is supposed to have served the
purpose of a store room or cellar
for the ancient occupant. The oth-er
small rooms may have been bed-luums.
A groove eighteen inches
deep by fifteen in width, extending
from the floor cf the main room up
one side of the shaft to the surface
of the hill—its bottom tilled with
ashes and its sides blackened by
, smoke—formed the fire place anil
chimney of the establishment.
Around the mouth of the Shaft a
stone wall was found, forming by
us enclosures kind ol door yard to
the dwelling below. The wall
I doubtless served the double pur
pose of guarding against snow
slides, which might otherwise fill
up the moms ami bury the occu-pant
, and against the accidental
fall of an inhabitant into his own
or his neighbor's dwelling, upset
' ting the dinner pot and possibly
breaking his neck in the operation.
Considerable debris was found in
these ancient dwellings, an exami-
: nation of which led to the diseove-ryofjcuiiosities,
illustratingsomenf
, the social and domestic customs nl
the extinct race. Stone mauls and
axes, implements used in excavat-ing
the dwellings; pottery bearing
a great variety of ornamentation,
bone aw Is and needles nl delicate
workmanship, the metate or family
grinding stone lor grain, its well-worn
surface indicating long use,
shell and obsidian ornaments, and
implements of wood, the uses of
which were nndiscoverable, were
among the trophies of the explora-tion.
Search was made for a water
cout.se or spring, but no appearance
of the existence of water iu the
neighborhood during recent ccntii
lies was discovered. There were
s'gns of inter-communication be
[ween this village and a cliff city
some fifteen miles distant, also a
new discovery, which indicated the
contemporaneous inhabitancy of
the two. This city, or rather cllis
I ter of villages, occupied the sides
of a canon which has recently been
christened Walnut canon. It is an
immense fissure in the earth, with
1 nothing above the general level of
the country to indicate its exist-ence
to the traveller until he stands
upon the side of its almost precip
itous brink. The sides have been
, gullied by storms ami torrents,:
leaving shallow cave like places of
great length at. different heights,
along the bottoms of which, wher-ever
the ledge furnished sufficient
area, dwellings iu groups or singly
were built. The season was well ,
advanced when the [dace was
reached, and only little lime was
spent iu iis exploration. All the
ancien' methods of approach .had
been long before worn away,' and
access to I he nearest of the groups
of houses was a work of difficulty.
'Ihe group or village which was
most narrowly examined was about '
three-quarters of n mile in length
ami consisted of a single row ol
houses, tbe common lear wall be
illg the living lock, while the sides
and fronts were made of large
squared stones laid in clay. A
narrow street orpathway extended
along the entire front. Other and
similar villages could be seen along
the canon for a distance of five
miles.
Among the relics found here was
a wooden spindle whirl similar to
those in use by the I'ueblos of the
present time, but unlike them in
the apparent manner of its manu-facture.

A terrible calamity has just hap

Htion. The distinguished analyst,
I'i nl. Beaton, has been making a
chemical examination ol the water
of i he holy well of Zem-cem at
Mecca, and has discovered ii to be
full of the worst kinds of impuri-ties.
Since its rediscovery in the
sixth century by the graudfathei
of the prophet .Mohammed this well
bin formed the chief supplj of

who have annually resorted to
Mec.-a lo pay their respects lo the

Well. It is a humiliating refl.ee
lion that, owing to the carelessness
of the iuhhitniits of Mecca in sain
larv mailers, this miraculous water
should be charged with all sorts of
impurities. But il is some consola-tion
to reflect that if the well water
could work such wonders in so im-pure
