APACHES AND MINERS.
The Troubles Between Them Seem
to Have No End,
Peculiar state of Affairs Existing
Along the Line OF the Famous
Mojavc Desert in Southern
California.

Especial Los Angeles (Cal) letter.
The troubles between the white set
tiers in southern California along the
line of the Mojave desert and the In
dians seem to be never-ending. And as
for Arizona, the principal occupation
of the peace officers and ranchmen
seems to be raids on Indian camps. The
chief outstarting points are Kingman,
the Needles and Mojave. These towns
skirt the Moiave desert, and the
rallying points of defense and offense.
Here mining prospectors get their sup
plies, ammunition, and, of course, a
liberal supply of whisky. These out
fitting stations are also railroad cen
ters. and with a mixture of mining and
railroad men, gamblers, tramps, In
dams and Mexican half-breeds and des-
peradoes in general, may be considered
tough" towns. Here the traveller
gets a picturesque view of q typical
frontier town. There are one or two
general stores, several saloons and a
hotel, generally given the name OF
palace" Whisky drinking and
gaming are the principal industries.
At all hours of the day and night the
saloons and gaming houses are open.
Indeed, it is doubtful if some of them
have doors, as they are not needed.
Lumber on the desert is a costly item.
Faro and monte are the prevailing
games of fashion. Americans patron
i2e the former, while the MeXicans and
Indians take the latter.
The monotony of frontier life is re-
lieved by an Indian hunt. News has
beenreceived that the desert Indians, -
as all tribes are styled by the frontiers
men, have murdered a miner. A nun.

men are heavily armed with long-dis

in the mines and some prospect for
themselves, but no sooner does one
find claim of any value than along
comes a paleface desperate and drives
him away. or kills him, and covers the
corpse with sand, or perhaps leaves it
on the road as food for coyotes. The
roads and trails are strewn with dead
bodies of both white people and 1ndi-
ans, more as the result of these feuds
than from hunger and thirst. The drift
ing sands conceal many bodies, which
are discovered months after the person
has disappeared. There is hole in the
head or back, which tells the story of
assassination. In this dry atmosphere
dead body will not decompose for
months, and will look as natural al
most as in life so, unless the "varmints"
have eaten the flesh, the body can almost
always be identified.
The Indians of the desert possess the
knowledge of the whereabouts ola num-
Der of springs hidden around in the
lodges and under rocks which they re-
fuse to tell to the white miners. Hence
they are trailed in every direction.
Some of them also know the loca-
tioa of some very valuable mines
which they also refuse to reveal,
but occasionally bring in guam
titles of gold dust which they sell
at the stores principally for whisky
and calico goods. They are frequently
swindled, for they have little idea of the
value of gold dust or gold nuggets. es-
pecially when sold by the white mans
weight. and weighed on varying scales.
Not only are these Indians tracked
and killed by desperadoes who are ly-
ing in wait for some one else to find
something valuable, but white pros
pectors also are killed, and all is
charged to the Indian because he is a
vagabond. 1t is no wonder that he
is so, seeing that he is protected neith-
er by the laws of God nor man. Hence
he becomes an outlaw in many cases.

on the sandy trail he is shot down in
revenge for a murder with which he
had no connection. His horse, pro-
visions and arms are taken by the In
dian. When he, in turn, is killed,
these are brought into town as
trophies, and furnish argument for
the determination of the Indian"
AS a rule the Indians are harmless if
let alone. 1t is the desperate characters
who keep up the vendetta. If rancher
loses a beef, he will at once accuse the
Indian, though the desert swarms with
coyotes and other animals.
There is no doubt that Indians do
steal both cattle and horses; but there
are others on the desert who are in the
same line of forbidden industry, But
the Indian is charged with these crimes
until they are proven on some paleface.
This furnishes an excuse for killing an
Indian whenever desperate wishes to
make a record as killer. The Indians
have no lands, and, being mere vaga-
bonds of the desert, they seek to live
on the pale face who has despoiled them.
Some of them are Industrious and work

However, since that time the Indian
has become morose and has taken to
the warpath, He has followed the trai,
OF the miners through the ravines and
canyons and shot down a paleface
whenever found. At last accounts he
has assassinated nine men and two
women, none of them being party to
the deed which drove him to seek such
hellish revenge.
Indian trailers are often used in these
expeditions, for there are renegades
among the red men as well as other
races. The trailers hang around the
towns, have forsaken the life of vaga-
bondage and become sufficiently civ
ilized to betray their people-for a
price. They are, however, not trusted
by the white people, and when a few
Gesperadoes attempt to regulate" the
town, they occasionally shoot one OF
these domcstcated Indians, Just to see

CHRISTMAS LONG AGO.
All Presents Had to Go Into the |
Christmas Stocking.

Robert j. Burdette in the Ladies'
Home Journal tells in his humorous
way how he remembers the Christmas
Of long ago. Most of the Christmas
presents in those days were designed
by the manufacturer for the hang
ng stocking. Anything too big to go
Tto a stocking had to go over to some
oody's birthday. In any family where
there was more than one child the old
reliable 'Noah's ark was always looked
Tor. We hailed with excla nations of
astonished recognition Noah and Mrs
Noah, Messrs- and Nine. SheIn, Ham and
Japhet. There was no way of telling the
men and women apart They We're ex-
actly alike. but the elephant and giraffe
you could distinguish at a glance, on
account of the spots on the giraffe. So
also the dog and the cow, because the
COW was always white and blue. while
the dog was invariably plain blue
Within "a hours after the landing Oh
Ararat the tahy would have all the
raiut sucked off Shem, Ham and the
hired man, and the doctor would be
sent for.
The red monkey climbing a red stick
was another regular Christmas visitor.
He was highly esteemed as a light
luncheon by the baby. 1t never seemed
to affect the infant unpleasantly-to
himself. that although the cloudy
symphony of red and blue about his in
nocent mouth was apt to make the be-
holder shiver. But it made the monkey
look sick. Then there was a man on
the box, with a major-general's uniform,
heating a drum. You turned a crank,
the general lifted his stick high in the
air. and something in the box made a
noise as much like a drum as a. peal of
thunder is like piccolo. These things
as toys were of no great value, but as
practical and useful object lessons they
were beyond all price, on the minus
side"
