HOW A PRosPBCTOR LOST A FOR

Ash rule prospectors fully realize the i'm
perative necessity Of frequent assays but at
times those who have not long been engag-
ed in the business rely upon the appearance
of the ore and estimate its character and
value by the eye. Nothing in nature is
more deceptive than mineral in fact as a
rule the beautiful specimens glittering
with crystals and of varied hue are not
distinguished by their value. Upon the
contrary the rusty dingy looking minerals
are those that generally contain the great
test portion of silver. As we write this ar
ticle we have upon our table before US a
sbmbre specimen from the st. Patrick
mine Of Nogales, not larger than the FIST,
that C tains not less than SIS at silver.
and quite near 1t a splendid looking speci-
men Of quartz permeated throughout with
cubes of galena, zinc. sulphide of iron sui
phlde and varigated copper, in fat, the
latter specimen is a thing of beauty. but
it only carries 10 ounces of silver per ton.
These two specimens, so different In an.
pearance and value, remind US of a pros
pector who, in 1882, was engaged in pros
pecting. By accident enc day he stumbled
upon wide cropping of dark gray ore to
which he gave no further attention, not
being favorably impressed with its appear
ance. Shortly afterwards e more prudent
companion had some of this vein mat
ter submitted to determination, without
revealing the result to others. He made a
location on the claim, and before the close
of 1884 the property had yielded over
IS, 900, 900.
We venture the remark that if one-half
the money that, since 1880, that has been
squandered in whiskey had been devoted
in the southwest to assayinR, New Mexico
and Arizona would have treble the num-
Der OF producers. Mineral is much like
woman, you cannot Judge of the merits Of
either by appearances and not to be par
tial we will add that a mans position in
society cannot be gagged by the cut of his
coat or color of his necktie.

THE APACHE INDIANS.

Concerning the report that was recently
given credence, to the effect that Geroni-
mo, the Apache eut-throat, was TO be re-
turned TO Arizona, a special dispatch TO
the Globe-Democrat from Washington,
says;
"A press dispatch from Tucson an
nOunces this morning that the people Of
Arizona have learned that Geronimo and
his band Of Apaches are to be returned to
that territory. The authorities at the
war department declare this statement
without foundation. Geronimo and his
band will never be returned TO Arizona, "
said Adjutant General Kelton to-day. 81
do not see how such an idea originated.
The fact that Captain Pierce of Benecia
Arsenal, has been ordered east for consul
tatlon regarding the Apaches may have
given raise to the thought that these Indi-
ans are to be again allowed to roam at will
IN their native mountains"
Then General Kelton explained that a
few weeks ago the Indian Rights Associa-
ton, Of Boston, held an extended interview
through their chair with General o. o.
Howard upon the subject Of further civillz-
ing the Apaches, now numbering $50
souls, located in the mountains of North
ern Alabama. That conference resulted in

Apaches in another state and on a per-

ton. Captain John Bou.ke of the Sd in
fpntry, IN company with Prof. Painter, of
the Indian Rights Association, is now
travelling through the Southern States for
the purpose Of negotiating for lands on
which the small bands of Apaches may be
placed. The Indians themselves desire to
remain where they are. The country in
which they live is mountainous and in
many respects similar to their ancient
home from which they are exiled. The
white men in their immediate neighbor-
hood, however object to their presence

General Kelton, that there is quite large
settlement of Seminole Indians already
located in the northern mountains Of
North Carolina, but sueh is the fact.
They are not only civilized. but they have
the right TO vots. They do vote, and vote
the republican ticket at that. II is quite
probable that the gentleman engaged in
Selecting a permanent location for the
Apaches will decide upon some mountain
Gus region along the Atlantic coast. In
fact, the location il about settled upon,
and when everything is definitely arranged
Geronimo, who is now in exile, will be re-

of her death, however, all the flowers died
and none of them have ever come into bloom
again, and do not think they ever will"
Flora, the fairy, and her little friend,
lived very happily together. The little girl
made herself very useful to the fairy BY
helping her to attend to the flowers and pull
out the weeds that would sometimes creep
up from the ground.
One day Marguerite had nothing to do,
and she went out among the thorn bushes.
Suddenly she heard a voice, and when she
stopped to listen she distinguished the iol-
lowing words:
Prick your finger with a thorn
And flower will bloom red as the morn.
Three times Marguerite heard these words,
then she understood them and approaching
the bushes she pushed her finger against a
thorn. The blood flowed out of the wound
and ran along the stem of the bushes but
wherever it touched a beautiful red rose
sprang into blossom. The little girl was
overjoyed at the result, and she immedi-
ately called Flora and showed her what She
had done. The fairy was amazed when she
saw the beautiful flowers.
These are the flowers my great-grand-
mother used to have too; now YOU must go
with me to our Queen and she will give YOU
reward, because she has always said that
whoever would bring back the rose should
be her friend"
Thus Marguerite came to the palace of
the Queen of Fairies, and when Flora, the
flower fairy, told the Queen what Marguerite
had done, she got up from her throne. em-
braced and kissed her. She also asked the
little girl to remain with her at her palace.
and Marguerite remained in fairyland for
ever afterward.

TELLING A SNAKE STORY,

Yarn With Facts.

An EoItor VINO Does Not Believe In Spelling
Yarn With Facts.
Punxsutawney spirit.I
1t is not without certain degree of chag
rim and humiliation that we proceed to
whack several feet off the tail of that SER
pent we spoke of last week, but careful in
vestigation has led us to believe that it was
not as large as at first reported. As rule
we do not believe in economy in giving the
dimensions of a snake. When telling a
snake story, large, yellow serpent, with a
spring calf in its stomach, comes lust as
cheap as common garter snake with toad
in its mouth. By buying in large quanti-
ties and paying cash, we are enabled to
give our readers the benefit of the discount
and furnish them larger and better authen-
ticated snake stories for the money than any
of our contemporaries. But this beacon
strictor we spoke OF last week was several
sizes too large for even those Of our CUSTOM
ers who have the most voracious appetites
for the marvellous. They could moi, some
how, swallow it. Some of them made heroic
attempts to do so, and were willing to make
still further efforts.
But we do not wish to be too exacting, and
will therefore take our little hatchet and cut
it down somewhat. The main outlines of
the story were correct, but more conserya-
tive estimate of the size of the serpent places
its length at between eight and ten feet. And
then it was not yellow, either. 1t was, it
appears, a common black snake. We are
constrained to add this foot note to last
weeks snake story alter protracted inter-
views with Messrs Pantall and Dilts, who,
it seems, are not willing to stand over 16-

FLORA, FAIRY OF FLOWERS.
ERNEST H. HEINRICHS.
BY

garden of flowers she had ever seen in all
her life. The little house the fairy led her
into was composed of all kinds of fragrant
winding plants. The walls Of the house
were made of sunfowers. and the roof was
covered with myriads of morning glories,
whose blossoms shone through the verdant
leaves like stars of purple, pink and milky
hue.
Marguerite's eyes wandered in wondering
amazement from flower to flower, and the
fairy seemed to enjoy her bewilderment.
From the very moment Marguerite entered
the little house where Flora lived, she forgot
all about the past and the pain her cruel
uncle had inflicted upon her. The next day
the fairy took her all through the groves
and gardens surrounding the little house,
and at almost every step the little girl OBJ
served new and more wondrous beauties of
the floral world.
But one thing must be mentioned here,
there were no roses in that garden, for the
simple reason that roses did not then exist.
However, when the fairy arrived at the
end OF the grove of flowers she said to Mar
guerite:
DO you see all those thorny bushes grow
ing there? Well, they were planted by my
great-grandmother thousands of years ago,
and while she lived they were covered with
the most beautiful red flowers On the day
