Not knowing it, perhaps, he still is at the time of this
writing in the sphere of influence and in the power of the Sphinx and
is doing its bidding. Else why should he, as is well known, favor the
jointure of New Mexico and Arizona into one State? Surely the loyal
subjects of the Sphinx, the Pueblo Indians of Aztec blood, live
mostly in New Mexico, and the cunning idol plans to deliver them out
of the hands of the Spanish Mexicans, and place them under the
protection and care of the Americans of Arizona, knowing full well
that the Anglo-Saxon blood will rule.
Every miner and prospector of Arizona knows that there have been, and
are found to this day nuggets of pure gold and silver on the summit
of barren hills, in localities and under geological conditions which
are not to be reckoned as possible natural phenomena. Whence came the
golden nuggets on the summit of Rich Hill at Weaver, where a party of
men gathered two hundred thousand dollars worth in a week's time?
Whence came the isolated great chunk of silver at Turkey Creek,
valued at many thousands? The wisest professor of geology and expert
of mines cannot explain it. This, I say, is the gold and silver from
ornaments employed in temples of the idols of ancient races, who
lived unthinkable thousands of years ago.
