The telegraph frank is said to be worth
on an average of $500 a year to each re-

congressman and such high flrnctionaries
as can serve or most annoy the telegraph
company. Gov. Dennison, when post
master general, recommended to CON

graph department, and said that he
had telegraph numbers on annual cards.

Arms for the Indians.
HOW THEY PROCURE THEIR SUPPLIES OF
WEAPONS AND ANMu milton.

When Colonel Bracket was commanding
at Camp Thomas he took quite an interest
in one Of the Apache scouts, who was
good game hunter, and who, when permitted
TO go hunting. seldom failed to bring IN a
deer for the coloneFs headquarters All
this pleased Colonel Bracket very much,
but nevertheless he was always surprised at
the enormous number Of cartridges it took
10 kill one deer. The Indian would start
out each time with two belts full, but had
never one when he got back. The colon
el would frequently interrOgate him about
his wastefulness. But Mr. Indian always
had an excuse, generally making it appear
that he chased the deer for many hours and
expended many shots. OF course the car
tridges were sold by the<Indian either to the
Apaches or else at the country stores, where
they always have a commercial value, and
are resold to the San Carlos Apaches almost
openly. 1t is also well known fact that
small bands of soldiers when out on scout
ing duty. will sell their cartridges at country
stores to obtain drinks, and report their
deficiency as having been caused by target
practice or chance losses from their cartridge
belts. There is not village store within
100 miles of San Carlos but that deals in
cartridges in this manner, each cartridge be-
ing bought for two cents and resold for ten
cents and this is how the Apaches obtain
ammunition and hide it away for emer-
gencies.
In about the same manner the Apaches
obtain guns. purchasing them through others
in open market in Tucson and other places.
Every Apache has good gun and plenty of
ammunition. A gun is god to the Apache.
Teey worship gun, and would as soon be
without their hands as not to have a good
breechloader. OF course they have way of
hiding them in the ground, and if an attempt
were to be made to disarm them no guns
would be found.

anxiety Yesterday there was hurrving

How much progress has been made so far
