ARIZONA Mining Index.

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 deer for
the colonePs headquarters All this pleased
Colonel BrackettYery much, but nevertheless
he was always surprised at the enormous
number of cartridges it took to kill one deer.
The Indian would start out each time with
two belts full, but had never one when he
got back. The colonel would frequently in
terrogate him about his wastefulness. But
Mr.. Indian always had an excuse generally
making 1t appear that he chased the deer for
many hours and expended many shots. Of
course the cartridges were sold by the In
dian either to the Apaches or else at the
country stores, where they always have
commercial value, and are resold to the San
Carlos Apaches almost openly. 1t lis also
well known fact that small bands Of soldiers
when out on scouting 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 a
village store within 100 miles of San Carlos
but that deals in cartridges in this manner.

assume prominent, place, as well as critics
on music and the drama, but they all have
the same fault, they are too dry. That
learning can be made attractive, and that in
formation can be given without statistical
tables, never is recognized. Locals" too,
are neglected and the correspondence from
points of interest is Scanty. Some features
they possess, however, of great value, and
conducted by specialists. Such are the mar
ket reports, financial reports and notes on
in America that report the first two
items as fully as the majority of
German dailies Discussions of the value
of new agricultural implements are
the most attention. Nearly every paper
has serial, chosen sometimes with Ques-
tionable taste. Thus the Frankfort Gazette
has been publishing Zolas last work, Gee

On protection civil service reform, the coin
age, the record of public men, they are very

edge of geography is limited, however, and
sometimes leads them into the most amusing

trade and railway interests, being unsparing
in their criticism of the frequent cuts in
rates. Recently, they have begun to publish
sketches Of American life, such as Jerry Nc
Auley's Mission, the Kansas City Stockyards
and life among the Memons. A series of APP
preciatiye articles on American humorists
has also lately appeared. 70 many the ad-
vertisements would be of the greatest inter

and marriage with its almost brutal re-

perhaps the most peculiar. The personal

given, before you are called on to repeat the
operation. The German daily appears gen
orally in two, often in three editions, with
supplements and adN ertising sheets innum-
cradle. The Sunday edition, like the Ameri-
can, is far more interesting than the week
day ones. As for contents and variety, there
has been vast improvement since the DAYS

erudition and dizziness still remain. They
