Transvaal, in South Africa, is extremely
rich in mineral deposits. William Young
Campbell, president of the chamber of
mines of johannesburg, who is now in
London, says that iron, copper, COAL silver
and gold are found everywhere in the re
public. Thus far the mining of gold has
received the most attention. This metal
was first discovered in 1886 in what is
known as the Rand field, south of Pretoria
During the following year the yield from
surface and pioneer scratching was 200
ounces a month. Ii was increased to 1901
ounces a month in 1883; TO 20, 900 ounces in
1889; to 10000 ounces in 1890 and to 6O.OOo
ounces in 1891. With an extension of min
ing and milling Mr.. Campbell believes that
it can be made 10 reach $4,000 ounces
month The total output thus far hAe
been $50, Oo0, 900.

! men. Barboncito, the Navajo who nego
tiated the treaty of 1868, was born diplo-
mat and held his own in discussion with
General Sherman and other officials. His
co-chiefs, Juerro and Ganado Mucho, were
also men of marked ability.
The most noted Indian on the California
side of the Colorado was the aged Ca
bacon. 1t is almost incredible, but his
people assert that he was 40 years old
when he died, and the first white men who
visited the Cahuillas spoke of him as quite
an old man sixty years ago. Tradition
does not go back to the time when the
Cahuillas were not ruled by a Cabazon,
and the sentiment of loyalty is as intense
among them as among the clans of Scot
land in the Seventeenth century. The old
chief ruled for a century with extraordin.
airy ability, made treaties with the Coco
pahs, Mohaves and Yumas as well as the
whites, and was succeeded as a matter OF
course by his son Cabazon.
For many years he also ruled wisely, and
the most harmonious relations existed till
Agent Rust declared his intention OF
breaking up the tribal relations, in which,
he says, he is obeying instructions from
Washington. His first move was to name
one Billy Williams as chief. The imme.
date result was a schism in the tribe and
bad blood generally. At least two-thirds
of the tribe, led by VIII Pablo, a finely
educated Indian, adhered to the old
chief. Then the agent declared his in.
tention TO hsve CabaZon arrested and put
in prison, and SO all is confusion among the
Cahuillas. This is the more to be regretted
as these Indians are ordinarily peaceful and
industrious
The YQmas have been located in thei1
present seat and farmed their little valley
from the earliest times of which there is a
record. Their chief, Pasquale, died a few
years ago aged 100 years, and was succeed
ed by his son, who is now seventy-fve His
name in the Yuma tongue is Spkottier,
but the whites call him Miguel, and he
recently visited San Quentin to see the
four YumaS who were convicted of muir
der and given life sentences. Before going
to San Francisco he had seen nothing
larger than a frontier village, and his sur
prise may be imagined. OF all he saw
there the street cable cars, without steam
or horses, excited him most.
The Yumas number about 5000, and
have not increased or diminished for
number of years. They are q very brave
people, and have fought the Apaches from
time immemorial, but have maintained
peace with the whites. For this they now
ask the government to construct for them
a large irrigation canal in the Colorado
valley, as their former system of farming
is no longer reliable. Spkottier is man
of great ability, with a memory that would
be noted anywhere. He tells in very in
teresting way of the first white trappers

too, without cost, as the expenses are met
by voluntary contributions, which come
from some of the best known and wealth
lest citizens of Chicago. The presideLf
Charles H. Ham, recently said, ave wish
to impress upon the minds of the poor and
unfortunate that the much Wanted broth
erhood of man is not hollow sham, but
a vital principle"
During the past year, which was the
third of the existence Of the bureau. s, 7S3
appeals for justice were made by individu-
ais. OF this large number it was found
necessary to carry but 375 into court. The
3,1S3 claims were attended to at the aver
age cost OF 81 25 each. Most of them were
for wages due. The bureau will not lend
its prestige and power to the persecution
of an employer by discharged employee.
The latter must first convince Mr. Errant
of the truth of his story and the justice of
his claim before any steps in the matter
are taken.
The average person has no conception of
the devices resorted to in order to swindle
wage earners. Dir. Errant has related
several cases which have come under his
notice. One boy went to Chicago and took
the agency for a double action, self cock
ing, patent, reversible humbug coffeepot
He was required to deposit fifty dollars,
almost all the money he had. When ne
came to the conclusion that the coffeepot
was ret destined TO fill long felt want,
he gave up his job and demanded his fifty
dollars. He was simply laughed at. But
he had heard of the bureau, and went
thither for justice. He got it in the shape
of his fifty dollars. and the cofeepot man
also got it in the form of years imprison-
ment.
The agencies which collect wages and
other small claims for poor people, and
then fail to turn the money over to the
owners. have been practically wiped out Of
existence by the bureau.

Of all the Indians in the United States
those of Arizona and adjacent sections
have awakened the greatest interest. They
are of every possible grade, from the Dig
gers" in the northwest singularly de-
graded, filthy and stupid set Of savages
to tribes which live in well built dwellings
and till the ground with considerable skill
The recent trouble among the Pueblos in
the southwest of Arizona and the Cahuil-
las in California show how difficult it is
for some white men to understand Indian
nature.
The first division is into Pueblos and
Nomads, the Apaches and Navajoes being
the most noted of the latter, and though
the Pueblos, or villagers, are in general
mere civilized, yet it would seem that the
Nomads have the most energy, the keenest
intellects and the largest number of able

Alfred had hopes but Charlie had the
girl.
This, Of course, was unknown to
Alfred. or he never would have proposed
to her.
At least it is fair to suppose that he
would not have done so, notwithstand-
ing there have been recorded several
instances of that species Of emotional
idiocy.
In any event, Alfred proposed.
Naturally the girl said no, because it
was not in the summer time, and two
engagements at once would have been
bad form, and furthermore she was not
stuck on Alfred little bit.
So she responded no, and was about
to say something else when Alfred held
up his hands appealingly.

say you will be q sister to me-"
She drew herself up haughtily.
ST had not intended doing so" she
said coldly. Charlie isn't very partc-
ular as to what kind Of brother-in-law
he has, but we have to draw the line
somewhere"
From that moment Alfred was a
changed being.
