APACHES AND MINERS.
The Troubles Between Them Seem
to Have No End
Peculiar State of Affairs Existing
Along the Line OF the Famous
Mojave Desert In Southern
California.
Especial Los Angeles tCaL) letter.

Especial Los Angeles Cali Letter.
The troubles between the white set
Tiers in southern California along the
line of the Mojave desert and the In
dams 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 Mojave 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
tiers, and with 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 a 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 the3 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
ize the former, while the MeXicans and
Indians take the latter.
The monotony of frontier life is re-
heved by an Indian hunt. News has
been received that the desert Indians"
as all tribes are styled by the frontiers
men. have murdered a miner. A num-
Der of the most desperate characters
start out to make good Indians" of the
6rst Indians they may meet. These
men are heavily armed with long-dis-
lance shooting rifles, belt full of cart
ridges, a brace of revolvers each and a
bowie knife. A minsr has been muir
dered, and an Indian must suffer,
though the murder may have been
committed by some paleface desper-
ado for the purpose of robbery. Ere
quently two prospectors go out on the
desert in company. They may locate
a rich claim, and in order to get it
ali one murders the other, and returns
to town with a hair-lifting story to
the effect that his partner had been
murdered by 'Injuns," and he narrow
ly escaped. A posse goes out and
kills the first Indians they meet with
out questioning. They have so little
regard for am Indians life that it
makes little difference to them
whether the Indian is guilty or not.
Frequently he is guilty of some other
murder. But this is not known to his
assassins. Consequently the relatives
of the murdered Indian take the war
path and kill the first miner they see.
The Iadian will stealthily creep along
through a ravine or under the lodges
of rocks and as the miner approaches

A PULLING RIVER.
The Niger Was for Many Years an
UnsOlved Problem.

The Niger Was for Many Years an
UnsOlved Problem.
For many years the Niger river was
the cOnundrum of African geography.
Nobody knew where it's waters reached
the sea, but many geographical experts
had the widest theories on the subject.
Some of them thought it entered the
Sahara and lost its waters in the sands;
others that it flowed into Lake Tchad.
Mungo Park evolved the fanatic idea
that it was the upper part of the Congo,
and the Inflated Turkey expedition.
sent by Great Britain in 1916, was in
structed to ascend the Congo to the
Niger. Some of the most famous Afri-
can explorers made great discoveries in
other directions while they were really
seeking to solve the problem of the
Niger. The only result of these inves-
LEGATIONS was fresh crop of erroneous
theories. One of them conjectured that
the Niger reached the Atlantic. and
each one had an opinion of his own.
All these speculations were duly re-
corded on the maps and the cartograph-
ic delineation of the Niger from 1851
to 1882 is something wonderful to con-
template. 1t would seem to be simple
matter to keep to the river when once
it was reached and follow it to it's des-
tination, but that was the very thing
the explorers were unable to do. But
it was the German geographer Reich
ard, in his library at home. who solved
the Niger riddle, some Is years before
the Lander brothers in 1882 proved his
assertions true. Everybody knew OF
the numerous rivers emptying into tbs
Gulf of Benin and they were supposed
to be independent streams of small i'm
portance. But Reichard said that the
long stretch of the coast where these
streams reached the ocean was the sea
front of great delta and that the Oil
rivers were nothing but the subdi
visions of the mighty Niger. That was
true, and we know that the Niger delta
is the largest In Africa.-Chicago News

On the sandy trail he is shot down in
,evenge 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 a rancher
loses 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 a Desperate wishes to
make 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.

Abuse of the Dispensary.

1t may be broadly stated, as the re-
suit of exhaustive statistical study.
that fully so per cent. of the patients
who apply for free medical aid are tc-
tally undeserving of such charity. The
main reason for this is that no effectual
means are taken by the managers OF
these institutions TO correct the abuse,
For the sake of donations and the oss
tensible good accomplished by the
treatment of a large number of pas
tients, these charities are managed or
the usual business principles OF proving
their right to be and to prosper on the
assumed basis of demand and supply,

dreds of well-to-do patients, who are
encouraged to defraud the really poor

doctor of his legitimate fee. All this
goes on in spite of protests, and in oper
defiance of all laws of ordinarysdecency
and fair play. The managers of these
sO-called charities, who virtually have
the matter in their own hands, willis

roads and trails are strewn with dead

The indians of the desert possess the
knowledge of the whereabouts of num-
