The Lagunas. Acomas and Apaches at the New
Mexican Exhibition-What They Do and

SANTA FE, N. NJ, Special Correspondence,
July 21-To visitor to New Mexico the Ind
ians constitute the most attractive feature Of the
exposition now in progress at this place. Even
persons whose lives have been spent in contact
with them regard witt surprise and gratifica-
ton the showing that has been called forth by
this occasion, aud it is a matter of remark
among residents that not only has such gath
ering never before occurred, but that in the
nature of things few years longer must work
such developments, both in the way of prog
ress aud extinction, as to make it very doub'-
full If anything so curious and essentially
unique can occur again 1t is, of course, hardly
supposable that tribes disposed to peace and
recognizing the importance to themselves OF
obedience to law, will be soon disoanded, let
the strides of civilization be ever so rapid; but
there are living examples here of the effect of
white settlement in an Indian section, showing
how the character and habits of tribe may be
changed within few wears.

A prominent cigar drummer Wis
tied Eureka a short time ago, and
stepping into cigar stand on Main
Street, endeavored to sell the pro-
prietor some cigars. Upon inquir-
ing the price, and being told, the
proprietor remarked that the brand
desired must have risen in price
since the drummer's previous visit,
and he could not account for it, as
the late rebate on cigars should
make them cheaper. "Vhell," said
the drummer, ''of course de re-
bate is dree dollars dousand on
cigars, but den, you see. my friend,
dey hat raised de price on de leaf. -

plussed, is no description, and the

The Other Side.

Gently thrashed Mr.. Joachimsen,
editor CT the Democrat. The
trouble originated over reflections
cast by the Democrat upon a son of
Mr.. Booths. Though Is years old,
Mr.. Booth made his young antag,
onist sing out, ''Enoughr'- Mining
News.
From the above there seems to
have been some reason for the as
sault, though those who read the
Democrat next morning were led to
believe that a giant had attacked
pigmy unawares, and beaten him
numerically over the head with
telegraph pole.

The literary dude who writes the
Alta brevities for the Examiner
does not seem satisfied with the
way his jokes are received by the
secular press. Hear him
Nothing is more dangerous and
disagreeable than to joke with
witless person. 1t matters
not what tack you take, you are
sure to be beaten. Irony is taken
in earnest. and unconquerable stu
pidity construes honest praise into
defamation. No play of the mind
is safe. The incest bon mot is re-
garded as silly, and the most re-
fined double entendre is construed
into vulgarity. The witless one is
exceedingly dull when not troubled
about something, and his misun-
derstandings are a source of con-
tinued annoyance.

Since the APPEAL and Enterprise
pointed out the job in contempla-
ton of a change OF school books
there is but one paper in the State
favoring the job, and its editor rises
to assure the public that when he
held official position he was never
improperly Influenced" by school
book agents. As no one has ever
charged him with being Influenced,
the reasons for his denial are not
plain to the casual observer. The
Reveille talks very sensibly upon
the matter as follows:
The Eureka Sentinel rushes to
the defense of the State Board of
Education and advocates a change
of school books, claiming that the
publishers offer to furnish Nevada
change of readers SO that they
will have that much prestige in
engineering change in California.
1t further says they offer a better
book than the one now in use, etc.
This is the usual talk. It is very
strange that the self-forgetful pub. |
fishers make this kind of q discov-
cry about as often as they think the
parents will stand it. They talked
just the same way before the pres
ent series was introduced and to
such good effect that we now find
Nevada supplied with inferior text
books which have been discarded
by other States. Very few bust
ness houses care to spend money
to engineer change unless it
comes back with interest. It is so
In this case. The book publishers
are trying to work Off stock of
old text books, and hence this talk.
Parents are tired of this thing and
all papers that oppose the jobbery
have their favor. It is lodging
the question to assert that the
school book question is only used
as preteNt to abuse officials The
Sentinel knows better. It knows
that getting angry wi not convince
anyone, nor will it disguise the
shortcomings Of an officer, be he of
either political faith The whole
question is just here. Will the
parents approve the action of the
State Board OF Education, if they
gain change the text books? We
ay no, and the member of the
Board who votes for it will be re-
rendered and defeated.
This is good square sense, and E
be last clause will do to read
everal times.

Good Signs Of an Impendtn

The developments on the Com
stock during the past three days ar
of the most hopeful nature. TIL
APPEAL has good information fron
Virginia relative to the present GU
look, and casting aside all rumor.
and doubtful information, can state
positively that there is sixteen fee
of good milling ore in Union and
nine feet in Sierra Nevada. This
ore is reported as running all the
way from $40 to $50 ton, and the
report of averages also vary. The
highest average assigned to this ore
is S35, and the lowest trife over
S25 ton. On Sunday numbers of
leading mining men from San
Francisco went up to look at the
north end and Hale and Norcross.
THE NoRCROss DEVELOPMENT.
The best informed buyers do not
place much confidence in Norcross
despite the efforts to boom it since
the new management obtained con-
troll, and taking it as a whole i:
looks as if the efforts now being
made in that direction were made
to attract attention away from the
north end stocks. During the
furry in Norcross hundreds of
holders of Union, Mexican and
Sierra Nevada sold their stock to
get into Hale IL Norcross, and thus
the north-enders rank lower than
they have been quoted at for years.
md the insiders took up all that |
was dropped and got the stock at !
bedrock prices. There is nothing
more than prospect in the middle
mines as far as any outsider is able
o see with his own eyes, and the
movements of the management
'nly puzzle the operators. In the
lorth end, however, the ore is there
o be seen.

Wound Around a Shaft.

WMKsBARRE, Pa, Aug. 1S.-Miss
Only Steamer, a young lady employ
ed at the Trucksville wooden mills,
near here, was the victim of a singu-
lar accident yesterday morning,
by which she wa fatally injur-
ed. She was standing near the
main shaft when the machinery
started up, and her apron was caught.
She succeeded in pulling it loose, but
in the effort her hair, which was very
long and worn in a single braid down
her back, was caught by the rapidly
revolving shaft. In an instant she
was whirling around the shaft with
terrible vi olence. and before the ma
chinery could be stopped and the I'M
fortunate girl extracted, she had re-
ceived fatal injuries Her hair was
torn from her head and her body and
head terribly bruised. She also
received injuries to her spine, and
has since been lying in a
paralysed condition. She is about 20
years of age, of great personal
beauty, and of a highly respectable
family. She had been employed in
the factory for several years.

The Labor Investigation.

New YORK, August 17.-Daniel l..
Robson, telegraph engineer and
contractor, was the first witness ex-
amined to-day by the United States
Senate subcommittee on education
and labor. He said he had seen Nc
Clellan'S estimated cost of conStruc-
ton of telegraph line of eight wires
from New York to Chicago, wherein
the latter said that it could be COM
pleted for operation for the sum of
1925, 965. This witness thought it was
about half of the real cost of cOnstruc-
ton. Such line would cost at least a
thousand dollars per mile. He was
not prepared to give any detailed
estimate of the cost of con-
struction and equipment, and
for this reason Senator George
thought the opinion of the witness was
not of much value as evidence. A
warm controversy ensued between
the senator from Mississippi and Sem
atOr Blair, chairman, who accused
his colleague of his discourtesy to the
witness III interrupting the latter by
any such expression of opinion. SEN
atOr George replied that he proposed
to take up as much time as he liked in
questioning the witnesses. He insist
ed upon a complete statement of the
cost of each item of expense in CON
structlOn. Witness refused to answer
the question any more definitely than
he had done, as he said he thought it
would be contrary to his inter-
est to do SO. In regard to
the right of any witness, he said he
had known of cases where over one
thousand dollars had been paid for
the privilege of erecting six poles
This item was probably the most inn
pOrtant In the cost of construction on
some routes. The cost of the right of
way was much larger than on the
other most expensive route in this re
spect would be. He thought that if a
line between Washington and Chi
cago could not be acquired except for
a large consideration, providing he
had the right of way possessed by the
Western Union company. Robson
asserted that he would willingly
undertake to reproduce their tele-
graphic system in this country for
$50, 900. 900, and would not hesitate
at $50, 100000. The most valuable
rights of way possessed by the West
ern Union company were those OBJ
tanned from the railroad systems of
the country and no estimate could be
formed of the cost to the Western
Union company Of acquiring these
easements. The ordinary expense
connected with this item is incurred
in obtaining the rights of way through
cities. This was usually placed under
the head of legal expenses for lawyers
usually employed obtained privilege
in these cases. Witness had been en-
gagged III the construction of the Mu-
tual Union, American Rapid and sew
eral railroad lines.

Labor investigation.

New YORK, Aug. 1S.-The United
States senate subcommittee on labor
and education resumed session to-day.
Samuel Granpers, president of the
amalgamated trade and labor unions
Of this city, was recalled. He claim
ed that the increased productivity in
England, consequent upon the inn
provement in machinery, was the di-
rect result of the reduction in hours
of labor; and in this country, where
the hours of labor were restricted, as
is the case IN Massachusetts,, where
there was a ten-hour law governing
all textile industries statistics showed
that productivity was much greater
than in other states, where employers
could work their men for any time de-
sired, and that the factories of Massa-
chusetts produce more yarn to the
spindle and more cloth to the loom
than in Rhode Island or Connecticut.
