The Best Advertising. !.

The most efficient advertising in be-
half Of Hoods Sarsaparilla is that which
comes from the medicine itself. That is
those who are cured by it speak to
friends suffering similarly, who in turn
derive benefit and urge others to try this
successful medicine. Thus the circle Of
its popularity Is rapidly widening from
this cause alone, and more and more are
becoming enthusiastic IN behalf OF Hoods
sarsaparills, as it actually demonstrates
its absolute merit. All that is asked for
Hoods sarsaparilla is that It be given a
fair trial. II you need good blood puri-
fer, or building up medicine, try Hood s

IL regard to the probable outbreak Of
the Indians in this section, Captain flar-
dy, who is probably better posted ON the
habits and customs Of poor Lo than any
man in the Territory, contributes tile fol.
lowing article. The Captain says, Editor
MINER: In your issue Of the 7th inst.
notice an article headed "Our Indian
Scare" In the article you quote letter
from Judge Logan, of Cedar District, to
Sheriff Lake. Mr.. Logan says that an
Apache Indian had made threats that he
would muster band Of Apaches and re-
turn and join the Wallapais and make
war. The Apaches referred to are evil
IDENTIFY the Apache Mohaves, or Yavapais.
These Indians never inhabited this part
OF the Territory, or claimed it. Again,
these Indians have resided on the San
Carlos reservation for nearly fifteen years
past, and are closely guarded by the mil
itary stationed at the reservation. 1t
would be difficult for band OF these In
dams to leave the reservation without be-
ing interrupted by the soldiers. Again,
the Apaches were always at war with the
Wallapais, and the two tribes have in
variable fought when they met. / met
Captain Charlie (Wallapai Charlie) few
days since and asked him about the pros
pective trouble. He said there was
nothing in it. He stated that some OF
the Indians thought that by soaring the
white squaws they would get more
rations, and that il they stole few cattle
they would get rations sooner and get
more at time; ''but," said Captain
Charlie, 81 don't want any fuss with the
white men. have seen too many white
men. don't want any war" 1t will be
remembered that when Charlie was
young and wiley he was sent TO Fort AL
catraz for year. During that time he
saw several men-of-war enter the port oi
San Francisco, and witnessed the firing
of the large l5-inch guns. lie also saw
thousands OF soldiers and thousands OF
citizens, which rather discouraged his
ambition to wipe out the Caucasian race.
Charlie further said that il any fool In
dian Of the Wallapai tribe had made
threats or stolen cattle, or stolen any
thing, to tell him who the Indian was
and he would arrest him in the name OF
the United States Grand Jury and have
him tried before the Mohave County
Court. in getting of the last sentence
Charlie got little mixed and one must
be able TO interpret his talk to understand
him, as he gets Mohave county and the
United States badly run together. Char.
he says that there is not the least danger
sf an Indian outbreak.

This tool combines the advantages OF
iron and wood planes, and possesses many
points of great superiority.
Ii is SELF-SETTlNG in every respect
and can be parfsctiy set for the finest
work with she eyes closed; the bit simply
dropped INTO position sets the plane with
the most minute accuracy.
When properly adjusted it cannot be set
wrong. The cap aud cutter may be re-
moved, replaced and accurately set in FIVE
seconds, By actual trial; this alose would
save many days in the course Of year
usually spent in setting the cutter.
The adjustment IL such that the GnttinR.
iron msy be set square with the face of the
Plane. even If the cutter is not ground
square with itself.
The throat is prevented from wear by
being within the adjustable iron bit-holder
which extends through the plane.
The cap Is not attached to the cutter,
but remains stationary while the cutter Is
moved up or down by the thumb-screw;
thus. even while at work, the thickness Of
q shaving can be changed by q simple
movement of the thumb and finger.
This tool can be changed from double
to a single iron, or from single to a
double iron plane in two seconds. Ii is
adapted to the coarsest or finest work This

OF gold this morning and some dust be-

from the Garcia mine, out Of the Hassay-
ampa. The nugget weighed upward OF
tventy-seven ounces and, with the dust.
called for thirty ounces at SIS, or total
of $50. The Mexican who brought il in
seemed satisfied. Mr.. Smith has been
receiving such consignments for long

Photographs Of inscriptions on rocks

date far more remote than any traces Of
man yet discovered, placed there by ii
race of men ancient as that whose foot
prints are discernible in the solid rock Of
the state prison quarry. It'was at first
contenced that the inscriptions were
made by a race Of men once inhabitiDg

Arizona. While there is resemblance
between the inscriptions left by the pre-
historic residents Of the regions watered

As to Breathing.

A boy, IA years old handed in the follow
ing as composition on "Breathing." The
instruction was. Tell all you can about
breathing." He said:
Breath is made of air. We breathe
with our lungs, our lights, our liver and
kidneys. If it wasn't for our breath we
would die while we slept. Our breath
keeps the life agOing through the nose
while we are asleep. Boys that stay in a
room all day should not breathe. They
should wait till they go out doors. Boys
in room make bad. unwhOlesOme air.
They make carbonicde. Carbonicde is
pOisOner than mad dogs. A heap of SOL
diers was in a black hole in India, and a
carbOnicide got in that there hole. and
nearly killed every one afore morning.
Girls kill the breath with corosits that
squeeze the diagram. Girls can't holler or
run like boys. because their diagram is
squeezed too much. If l was girl. had
rather be boy, so [ can run and hOller,
and run and have great big diagram. y

Slang Names.

The words "blOke," ''chump" lead, :"
.'duffer," sucker" are in common use
among all English speaking people.
"BlOke" appears in the Century dictionary
as word of obscure derivation, meaning
''man, fellow; term of disrespect or con-
tumely." Perhaps it comes from block,
meaning bIOckhead ''Bloke" seems to be
applied to Older persons than ''chump,"
and as used now means fool. idiot, dun
derhead. ass" "Chump'' is also in the
Century dictionary; as applied above, it is
in meaning parallel with ''blOke." 1t is
said to be probably a nasalized form of
''chub." which means "a jOlthead, a clown
ish fellow" or to come from ''chunk."
Cad" is a dictionary word. and differs from
''blOke" and ''chump" in not being slang.
1t is thought to come from Scotch ''cad-
de-" an errand boy. 1t is term of great
dsrespect. and means ian ill-bred fellow.
a vulgar fellow. fellow who is no gentle
man." ''Duffer'' means IAN awkward,
unhandy person." it is said to be a corrup-
ton of ''dudder." a person who handles
clothes; peddler, who need not neces-
sarily have any particular skill, or from
''dOwfart," an English word, meaning IAN
awkward fellow" Sucker comes from
the verb suck" and has several meanings:
l. A young fellow, kid" not term of
contumely, though it may be of disrespect.
2. A drunkard, 3. A sponger. 4. An H.
linOis man. AS a corolary to l is 5, one
