The thew woman" of San Francisco have an elephant on their hands in the shape of Hinuoo, who is called "The Bramach arin." When he first arrived they slobbered all over him and said he was darling; now they call him a lu- natic, which he. undoubtedly is. He breaches theosophv, reincarnation and similar stuff, and does it in his shirt tail, with night cap oD, which pleases the anclent cacklers. who never before had a chance to inspect a man in undress uniform.-Bodie Miner Index.

Last Tuesday Jose Mendez was acci- dentally shot and killed at Harrington's s we'll, on the Mesa road, about twenty. five miles from Florence. Thomas F. Weedln, Fred White and Charles Douglas had gone out there to take down a boil CT and pump, which Mr. Weedin was re- moving to his mine. They were work ing outside when a shot was heard in the house, and moment later little girl came running out of the door with a pistol in her band. Going into the house the gentlemen named found Mendez on the floor shot through the bowels, and in the agonies of death. Just how it oc cured will never be known, as the little girl can give no rational account of it and the victim never spoke after the shot was fired. The body was taken to Mesa. Republican.

The Science News says: In several places in the Cape Colony and Orange Free State of South Africa caves have been explored which yielded hundreds of mummified remains of queer species of six fingered monkeys. All of the full grown specimens of this remarkable race have the tail situated high up on the back-from three to five inches far ther up than on the modern monkey and other distinguishing marks, such as two sets of canine teeth, boards on the males, etc.

With the opening of the Uintah and Uncompaghre reservations, which it is pretty well settled will occur the coming spring, one million acres in round num- bers, much of it the richest agricultural and mineral land in the country, will be ready for settlement within the borders of the state Undoubtedly the scenes attending the opening of Oklahoma and all large and rich tracts of land will be here reenated. Where the gazell eyed deer. now peacefully grazes will soon be heard the hum of the hammer, the mer- " ring of the anvil, and the whir of in- dustry and trade Cities will spring up where now are slumbering villages of Indian tepees, and the population of our growing commonwealth will doubt less be augmented by many thousands who are eagerly watching the presi. deDtial order that will fix the day when the rich quarter sections of the Uintah and Uncompaghres can be legally filed upon.
 Next April is the time generally set down for the opening of the Uncom paghre. The negotiations which have been pending with the Indians for some time have been settled and bill author izing the opening of the reservation will reach the president early next session and will undou btedly, as the details have been satisfactorily arranged with the tribe, at once receive his signature Un- der the agreement between the govern ment and the Indians the latter take their lands in severalty, and some of it has already been allotted. A similar proposition is pending with the Uintahs, and those in position to know are very hopeful that the arrangements will be closed so that both reservations will be simultaneously opened in the spring of '9S. But, should these arrangements not be completed, it will not deter the govern ment from opening the Uncom- paghre, Inasmuch as there s great de- mand for such action
 The latter reservation comprises some 400, ,000 acres, and on it are known to be the richest gilsonite deposits in the world. While the government reserves the mineral lands it is known that they will be sold fer a price approximately about POS per acre, which would be merely nominal figure. The oppor, tunities for speedy and marvellous wealth by the lucky locaters of these deposits will be numerous. On the borders of the Green river, which courses through the Uncompaghre, are thousands of acres of the richest agricultural land in the state which will also be grabbed up with avidIty. The southern and northeast ern portions of the reservation are moi so rich land, though it's possibilities in mineral deposits of all kinds may be many.
 The Uintah reservation comprises some half million acres, probably one- third of which has been surveyed. In agricultural land 1t is much richer than the Uncompaghre. The innumerable plateaus and valleys around the Lake Fork are unsurpassed for agricultural

THE REPORT CONFIRM ED.
President Ripley Of the A., +. 4 >. +
Confirms the Report Of a Transfer
Of Property with the south
ern Pacific.

Chicago, March 25.-President E. 2
Ripley of the Santa Fe system, who re-
turned today from tour of inspection of
the entire system, substantially confirmed
the report Of great deal between the
Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific com-
panies by which the former obtains con-
troll of the Mojave division of the South
the Needles, 240 miles. This piece of
road has heretofore been operated by the
Atlantic & Pacific and Santa Fe, but the
Santa Fe had no ira. cage over 1t. By
this deal it will ts plas ed IA exclusive
possession of the property and then it
will be able to reach the Pacific ocean
over its own tracks Independently of any
of its neighbors. This of course will be
an immense advantage. The right to run
it's cars to Los Angeles and San Diego
will hereafter be unchallenged by any
body. The Santa Fe gives up the New
Mexico and Arizona road from Deming
to Benson, 175 miles. and the Sonora rail-
way from Nogales to the City Of Quay
mas on the Gulf of California, 265 miles,
for 24O miles from Mojave to the Needles.
In giving up these two roads, however,
the Santa Fe does not give up traffic on
them, because the Southern Pacific has
no outlet at Deming, but over Santa Fe
tracks. The deal is in conformity with
a plan adopted by the Santa Fe since re-
organization, of allowing its outlying and
Improbable branches to 60, and the con-
solidation of its system to the greatest
extent possible.

Constantinople. March 25.-The change
in the policy OF Great Britain foresha-

assumed definite shape. Recent massacre
of Armenians at Tokat and danger Of
outbreaks at Anatolia and action of the
porte in semi officially pointing out to
the Turkish press and provincial Off

fleets of the powers and the support
given to Turkish forces by foreign fleets
was triumph to the policy Of the sultan,
have had the effect that Christians in
Armenia are in danger OF determination,
consequently it is semi.ofacially stated
that the British admiral in Cretan waters
has been notified not to send any more
warships. Great Britain will take part
in proposed blockade at the same time,
however, in order apparently, to avoid an
open rupture with the powers. Great
Britain will acquiesce in the blockade OF

The Santa Fe has made very cheap
round trip rate from Chicago and all
points on its line to Las Vegas Hot
Springs. This indicates that the present
management intends doing everything
possible to build up the territory aud
their action in this matter alone will
prove very advantageous to all points
along the line in New Mexico.
THE GENERAL RESULT.
These changes, all in direct line of gen.
eral improvement and advancement of
the interests of this great railroad sys.
tenn, have the greatest significance in the
prosperity of the territory, and are due
in great measure to the far seeing en-
terprise and ability of Mr.. Ripley, whose
efficiency as railroad manager was
demonstrated long ago. Long experience
in the railroad servico kes made him
familiar with the needs of the various
departments, and the possibilities of
development through that wide extent
of country traversed by the system of
which he is the official head. His army
of assistants are chosen for ability rather
than tor the pull which they can COM
mand, and the result is a foree working
together harmoniously for common
end. The recent Santa Fe project for
the promotion of An industrial depart
ment with the end in view of aiding
various industries along the route uf this
system was a move in the right direction
and ought to be productive Of good re-
suits.
The management of the road is paying
a good deal of attention to New Mexico
of late. for it sees her splendid possibili-
ties, the development of which, it is In
The interest of this road TO promote by
every means possible. Mr.. Ripley is the
right man in the right place, and the
people of this territory recognize in him
! manager of great ability and enterprise,
friendly to their interests, which are
Identical with his own, in the high posi-
ion which he holds at the present time.

How They Write.

Some we'll known authors have been
prevailed upon of late to tell their esp2cia
methods of writing. They differ widely.
Robert Barr says he has no industry,
no regular hours of work, NO average
number of words, no sane methods, no
anything that a reputable man should
have. If I could average 1000 words a
day would be rich. Some days can do
three or four thousand words, if it is net
necessary I should write that number;
but if an edD.or is waiting for me or de-
pending on me I can't do a line"
Conan Doyle says he thinks from 1,5OO
10 1000 words day good work. He new
er takes more than one contract at
time and allows himself plnty of extra
time for the "of days" of which he claims
me has more than his rightful share.
Sir Walker Besant finds he cannot do
more than 1000 words a day. L. takes
him ten months to complete long novel
of about 100000 words.
Hall Caine says he has never been able
to consider his work in relation to time
and speed 1t took him nine months to
write '"The Deemster," buc he had
thought about it for year. He rewrote
'eThe Scapegoat" two or three times COM
pleIely. Tie Is CONTENT WIFI o,UVV " o,VVu
words a week.
John Strange Winter says the largest
years work she ever did counted up 437,-
900 words. A comfortable years work Is
about half that. The largest days work
she ever did was 1000 words-of course
with the aid of a stenographer If in the
mood she can do 5000 or 1000 words a
day.
Max Pembetton says the idea of doing
5000 words a day is perfectly appalling.
He never WROTE more than 1000 in one
day in his life and regretted thai. His
average days work is four hours Xld
he may write 500 words in this time
W. L. Alden does not work with any
regularity because he has to spend so
much time cleaning his bicycle Howev-
er, he manages to work for an hour each
day on his typewriter and can do 1900
words in that time. If driven he can do
5000. Beyond that IN does no. go, for the
machine refuses Ito spell and write words
backward If he attempts 1t.
