Prospectors should go into the mountains of Mohave county with in the next two months. The past summer the rain was exceptionally heavy, the amount of alluviun carried down from the mountains was greater than for many years and the chances of lodges being ex- posed is, therefore, much better than before. In one place on the Cerbat range, with which we are familiar, bedrock is exposed in many places where before it was covered by several feet of soil.

E. D. Woody and R. C. Lund, Utah's boundary commissioners, arrived in Kingman last Sunday evening from Los Angeles. They interviewed our people Monday regarding the segregation of that portion of Mohave county north of the river and it's annexation to Utah. They claim that our businsss men re- ceived them in friendly spirit and that but few expressed any opposition to the proposition. They are pleasant gentle, men and Utah made a wise choice in their selection. Many arguments in fa- vor of the division are advanced by the com missioners, but we think our legs- lsture ought to look into the matter thoroughly before memorializing con. gress to carry out the wishes of Utah. The matter of revenue cuts little figure in the proposition. The question is shall we divide with Utah one of the grandest scenic wonders of the world? Senator White, of California believes that the Grand Canyon is the natural boundary and expressed himself that if it come before the senate he would favor the di- vision on that line. Utah, of course, has the best of it and if we have to give up the strip we should make the best bar gain possible.

so in this climate" he tells his friends.
The high efficiency of our public
school system is largely due to the
energy and perseverance OF MIR. Bar

when he was u member of the state leg

In Is43 he visited the schools of every

ton before II legislatures. lie made the
acquaintance of the leading teachers In
co American cities and corresponded
with them for years after.
From 1880 to 1912 he was secretary OF
the Connecticut state schools. and from
1857 TO 1889 president OF the University
OF Wisconsin. Then until 1867 he was
busy writing on educational subjects,
particularly in his Journal of Eduea-
ton, which he had established in 1853.
He also issued in 1866 the American Lii

education.
James A. Garfield was among the first
to indorse Mr.. Barnard's work. He in
troduced bill in congress, effected its
passage and Mr.. Barnard talked Presi-

dent did more than that-he appointed
Mr.. Barnard commissioner OF education.
Through the general interest which
from the beginning of his career he ex-
cited In his work Mr.. Barnard was
brought into intimate relations with
many public men. He knew personally
every president of the United States ex-
cept the first three. With most of them
he was on terms of hearty friendship.

FIRE wORsHIPERs DISCOVERED.
Experiences of Danish Officers While
Exploring Pamfr Country.

Experiences of Danish Omcers w lille
Exploring Pamfr Country.
Two Danish officers, NM. Oloufsen
and Philipsen, recently arrived at ST.
Petersburg on their return from jour
ney of exploration to the Pamir coun-
try, where they reached places hither-
to untrodden by Europeans. They
brought back with them over 300 pho
tographs of places they visited and
types they met.
During their travels they met, among
others, tribes who are still fire wor-
shippers and totally uncivilized in their
mode of life. The men of these tribes,
and even their animals, are of very
small size, the bulls and cows being
no larger than European foal and the
donkeys about the size of large dog,
and the sheep about as large as a small
poodle. The use of money is unknown
to them and their only trade consists in
the bartering of furs. Women are
bought at the rate of five or six cows
or fifteen sheep apiece. These natives
are very timid and on the approach of
strangers take fight.
NM. Philipsen and Oloufsen have Sc
cured numerous scientific collections,
which they intend presenting to the
natural history museum at Copenhagen,
and have also made interesting meteoro-
logical observations.

The Tennessee Centennial Exposition,
the White City that has sprung up in
Nashville during the past few weeks,
has now assumed an aspect that Is beau
tiful beyond comparison. AS winter
relaxes its grasp and vernal beauties are

glimpse of fairy land, a page from the

the magic wand of the genii. The
stately buildings. incomparably grand

stand like silver caskets on base of
emerald, and the reflection of the spires

lakes Is q most enhancing vision.

In addition there will be series OF
lectures and illustrated addresses in

BEDOUlN AND EGYPTIANS.
Have Great Respect for People o
Learning,

Learning.
Lacking education themselves, their
respect for superior knowledge is great,
and they eagerly listen to and absorb
such information as may be CLEANED in
their casual intercourse with the peo-
Piles met during their wanderings. How
ever, great as is their respect for knowl.
edge, they hold horsenanship in still
greater esteem, and l attribute much
of my success in dealing with the Arabs
to the fact that l could ride the half
wild desert stations. in which my pre-
vious experience of rough riding in
Morocco stood me in good stead. In.
deed. their contempt for their neigh
bors, the Egyptians, is completely ex-
pressed in their common reference to
them as "those dirty Egyptians who
cannot ride horse" l may here re-
mark that in their habits and persons
the Bedouin are a very clean people
claim the most ardent admirer of the
Egyptians can hardly maintain in their
case; and have known of Arabs, who,
obliged to cross the delta, have carried
out with them sufficient desert sand
with which to cover the ground before
they would deign to pitch their tents or
sit upon the dirty soil of Masr." Diff
fering from the Egyptians in many
essential points, their love for dumb
animals is in marked contrast to the
cruelty practiced upon them by nearly
all classes in Egypt; but perhaps in
no way is the contrast more clearly
shown than BY the respect in which
the Bedouin hold their womankind.
Mosiems of the strictest type, they seem
to practice all that is good in Moham-
mechanism, and avail themselves but
little of its license.--R. Talbot Kelly,

by many to be the most beautiful build

be, for the people who have been ac-
customed to read of "Another Southern

The grand organ is another thing
that will attract great attention, and
IL will be a most superb instrument. In
size it will be one of the largest in the
south, being 40 feet wide and 80 feet
high, and having SO stops and 1.S47
pipes. The makers, Hook d Hastings,
of Boston, built the enormous organs in
the music halls In Cincinnati and Bos-
ton, and in this instrument will intro
duce many new features.
The committee on music and amuse'
ments has engaged the most noted
bands on the continent, and In the
amusement line all the up-to-date fea-
lures will be presented. Among the
bands engaged are Bellestadt and Bel
lcnberg's, Gilmore's (now Victor Her
bert's), the Counternos-father and son
with their talented organization,
Innes' band and several more. Those
who are conversant with events trans
piring in the musical world will remem-
Der that Victor Herbert succeeded the
lamented Gilmore as director OF the
famous Twenty-second regiment band
Innes' band was given the post of honor
at the worlds fair and at the Atlanta
exposition, and is most complete as
sociation of masters of instruments.
The other bands are all composed OF
musicians of high order of merit. and
all the musical features will be of a
high order of merit.
Vanity Fair is fast assuming stu
pendous proportions, and the novelties
that will be found within its limits are
endless in variety and bewildering in
magnificence. The Midway Plasance
