In a previous letter reference was made to the cyanide plant, carrying with the remarks these facts: A Phoenix morning paper followed the writer and In touching on the subject of cyainiding stated that "on reliable authority" the cyanide plant was failure. Having observed the work ing of the plant and the preparations made for the location of the two new tanks, it appears strange that any newspaper could so far distOrt facts as the publication referred to. The Congress Gold company is having specifications drawn for the best method of introducing new stamps and it is more than likely after the two additional hoists are in perfect work ing order that the company will carry out the plan it has been considering and put i'm twenty or more new stamps to work merrily along with forty stamps, which have been doing ser vice fully four years. Superi tend ent w. F. Staunton and Secretary Arthur Gage, nephew of President E. B. Gage, are very busy just now in full filling the duties of their respective offices.

THE GREEN CORN DANCE.
Kansas Pottawatomies Arc Celebrating Theaa'
Annual Festival.

TOPEKA, Kan, July 13.-This is a big week for
the 800 Pottawatomie Indians who occupy a res@
e~rvation twenty miles north Of Topeka. The Pots
tawatomie festival. the green corn dance. is now
in all its glory. Every year this festival is obs
served, and committees representing many OF
the tribes of the Indian Territory are here TO be
initiated into tha mystery of the "Medawin."
The famous dance follows the secret ceremoy
MES, which are said to resemble the Masonic
initiation. Pottawatomie sociologists assert that
the grips are similar to those of Masonry.
Tho dance, which is in progress every after
noon and evening, is in n great circus ring with
openings at the east and west sides. Around
the edges tho squaws with their papooses sic
and cheer the dancing braves. Each squaw
holds in her hands n stalk of green corn, and
when her favorite dancer outwinds his oppos
nents she rushes into the ring and presents him
with il as q reward of merit.
4 half dozen big braves furnish music for tho
dancers by beating gorgs and tomtoms. II an
Indian desires to break the bonds of matrimony
all he has to do Is to appear at the green corn
dance, shuttle off the " divorce" dance, and he
is once more a free Indian. Several divorces"
have been thus granted on the Pottawatomio
reservation. This proceeding without the inter.
vcntion of the courts has been witnessed by
scores of people from here and the surrounding
towns.

A Smaller velume Thnn last Years because OF
the Ellmlnation or Certain Nance.

The 111th volume Of Trow's New York
City Directory was issued yesterday. IN bind.
ing and general appearance It resembles tho
other volumes Of recent years, but is n much
smaller book than that OF last year. This has
not boon accomplished by n change In the type
or tho paper, but by reducing the number OF
pages from 1909 that wCro in tho book Of last
year to lao in the new book.
The publishers say that tho names were
gathered, assorted, and compiled In their pro.
vious method, but that after n careful scrutiny
by skilled compilcrs, many unnecessary names
have been eliminated. Just how this was done
and what classes Of names have been dropped Ia
not stated, but from q comparison Of q number
of pages Of the new directory with the corro-
spending pages Of last years, 1t appears that
the principal change has been brought about by
dropping tho names OF laborers, bartcnders,
walters. buffers, and persons whose occupations
mako them liable to move their places Of rcsi.
dence frequently. The now directory, It Is an.
nounccd. contains the names of about 20 per
cent. of New York's population, about tho per
eentago Of names contained in tho New York
Directory Of twenty years ago. Tho publisher
believe that the change will not impair the uso.
The process of reducing the slze Of tho Direo
tory has been going on steadily since 1890. In
that year the book contained I,40o pages, of
present volume. In 1896 tho Directory contained
l,5S.S pages OF names, and was half an inch
thicker than the present volume.
In addition to tho directory Of names, the
now volume contains forty-cight pages OF bust.

An EnEIishman says Ho Drowned u Man In

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, July ia man bearing
the marks OF long dissipation staggered into
Capt. McDermott's Office to-day at Police Head
quarters and announced that he desired to give
himself mp to tho authorities, as he had killed o
man in England. He said he was Arthur VIM,
25 years old, and that his home was in Plumsted.
Kent county, England. With a decided English
accent he impaired the information that the
killing occurred on July Of, 1887.
Twas only IS years old at the tine" he said,
"but / was as big az I am now. I threw tho
man into the Thames River"
On being questioned closely he said his victim
was old George Charles Dickson Of Palper,
Essex county, England. He was walking along
the bank of the Thames River, between North
Woolwich and thu Beckman Gas Works, where
hc was employed as a stoker, when he met
Dickson. He asked Dickson for money, and, on
being turned off, he caught the old man by tho
throat, threw him down. pounded him, took R5
from hun. and threw him into the river.
Winn at once left the country for Australia.
He finally drifted to America a few years ago,
md has been all over tho United States. He
arrived In Rochester on the Saturday following
last Christmas. He says remorse has pursued
him all these years.
