fAKI WARRIOR TAKING HIS EASE.

well advanced Indian race, inclined to
be peaceful, but stoutly resenting en-
croachments upon what they deemed
their rights. They did not submit to
whatever conditions the strangers
sought to impose upon them, as did the
Pimas and ,Maricopas of Arizona. They
showed a love of home-the home of
their ancestors and their own choice
and a sturdy independence that gained
for them-350 years ago-a bad name,
and this has never long left them.
Any people that did not Immediately
yield to the demands of the naughty
Spaniard were contumacious and re-
bellious, and the Yaki ranked them
selves in this class from the outset.
And never, until the close of the So
called ten-years' war, when, in May,
1897, a treaty of peace was declared be-
tween the Yakis and Mexicans, have
the former ever conceded that the lat
ter had the slightest right to occupy
their territory. It is useless to ignore
this fact. Mexicans have claimed the
Yaki country the same as the United
States has claimed the Apache country,
but the Yakis and the Apaches, in both
cases, were no party to the claim, and
both resisted it.. And as in the latter
case the resistance was futile, and to
the ken Of the white race hopeless for
the Apache race from the start, So will
the fUrmer case be futile. III f'l= l. ~

guese, Swedes, Japanese or Chinese,
and know by personal experience the
working capacity and trustworthiness
of them all.
When they are compared with the
Mexicans, who conjointly occupy the
so-called Yaki country with them, the
comparison is in every way in their
favor. Of course I mean the lower
class working Mexicans.
The Yaki country is situated in the
Mexican territory of Sonora, and main
ly consists of fine bottom lands on the
Yalxi river, which empties into the Gulf
of California, or that portion of it To-
cally known as the Gulf of Guaymas,
some so miles or SO below the Mexican
city of Guaymas.
For 70 or 80 miles the Yaki river is
navigable above it's mouth, and for CEN
turies it has been used by the indus
trious, peace-loving Indians for the
transportation of their produce. When
the Spaniards first met these people,
just prior to the Arizona march of the
valiant Coronado, they found them a

forests, stands in the way of his sue
cess. It does seem hard that after he
has done so much,, and persuaded so
many Americans to go into the land,
he should be baked when the prize
is so nearly in sight. And it is only hui
man nature to assume that this disap-
pointment will be wonderful factor in
the fight. It will settle many ques-
ton as to the disposal of wounded and
captured Yakis, and dictate many a
letter to the Mexican government when
more forces are needed. You see, the
fight has narrowed itself down to Yaki
versus Torres, and it is now war of
determination for possession. Torres
is fighter and the Yakis are home-lov-
ing and determined, and just as the
American colonists, peace-loving non
combatants though they were, made
wonderful soldiers when they were
aroused, so are these Indians, as their
history for $50 years has demonstrated.
They are not an educated people,
though a church can be found in almost
every villa ge. They have no settled
priests, however, merely tolerating
their visits, as do the Acomas and Zunis
of New Mexico. In their general life
they are much like our own pueblo
people, living largely upon their own
produce and weaving strong woolen
and cotton cloth for personal use, the
same as the Navajos, though, like them,
the Americans gaudy calico is con-
slant article of wear.

wild daring, the desperate valor and
utter recklessness of his northern con-

keep an army hunting in vain for them,
at the same time keeping up active hos

Army officers who have charge of the
subsistence of troops are urging that ice
plants be established in the Philippines,
Cuba and Porto Rico. 5 The system,
which is represented as absolutely nec-
essary to preserve food, will be cost

officers and the surgeons insist it will

provisions, that ice plants be estab-

The department experienced much
difficulty in awarding the contract for
a large refrigerator at Manila, and the
question was pending for several
months. There was objection to giving
the contract to q Chicago firm, which
was the lowest bidder, because the sys-

remove the sod carefully, replacing it
after they have taken out stratum of
peat. There is little doubt that if these
beds of peat could lie undisturbed and
covered over through many ages they
would take on all the characteristics of
mineral coal.
The substance of coal has been so
compressed that the forms of the plant
composing it cannot usually he seen.
But when a piece of it is made so thin
that it will transmit light, and is then
subjected to powerful microscope, it's
vegetable structure may readily be dis
tinguished. Immediately under every
separate seam of coal there is stratum
of what is known as fire clay. This
stratum is always present and contains
in great abundance the fossil impress
sions sof roots and stems and twigs,
showing that it was once the soil from
which vegetation grew luxuriantly. It
is common also to find fossil tree stems
lying mashed fiat between the layers
of black slate which form the roofs of

from these trees while they were liv-

rounded.

q fraction of an inch in diameter and
but one to two feet high. But at that
time all conditions were favorable for
a rapid and enormous vegetable
growth. The air was laden with carbon.
which is the principal food of plants
so laden, indeed, that man could not
have lived in it. The great humidity OF
the atmosphere was another element
favorable to growth. Vegetation never
lacked an abundance of moisture either
at root or leaf. Then, too, the climate
was universally warm. Over the en-
tire surface of the earth the heat was
greater than it is to-day at the torrid
zone. With all these circumstances in
it's favor vegetation could not helr
fourishing. The fossil impressions CT
more than 500 different species of plants
that grew at that time have been found
in the coal beds.
The most abundant of the plants OF
the conforming era were the ferns.
Their fossil remains are found in great
profusion and variety in most of the
rocks of the coal-bearing strata. There
was also the plant known as the "tree
fern," which attained height of 20 or
80 feet, and carried single great tuft
of leaves at its top. Next in importance
to the ferns were gigantic MOSES re-
sembling in kind the low ''club" MOSES
OF the present, but vastly magnified.
They doubtless contribute the greatest
proportion of woody material to the
composition of coal. There were forest
trees, and their fossil trunks have been
found measuring from 100 to 130 feet
in length and from six to ten feet in
diameter. There were also pines, some
what resembling those of to-day, which
probably grew on high ground. Be-
sides these there were plants of the
horse-tail family, which grew up with
long, reed-like, jointed stems to a
height of 20 feet or more and with a
diameter of 10 or IL inches.
1t is claimed that coal was mined in
England before the Roman invasion by
julius Caesar. The cinder heaps found
among ruins of the time of Roman su-
premacy in the island appear to show
that coal was largely used by the people
of that age. By the end of the thir-
teenth century bituminous coal was
burned to considerable extent in Lon
don. The Oldest coal workings in
America are near Richmond, Va. It is
supposed that coal was discovered and
mined there as early as 1850. Tradition
says that a boy while hunting for craw-
fish chanced upon the outcrop of coal
bed which crosses the James river IL
miles above Richmond. Mining was be-
gun and by the year 1775 the coal was
in general use in the neighborhood. It
played part in the war for indepen-
dence by helping to make cannon balls,
and by 1889 it was being shipped to
Philadelphia and New York. During
the late civil war, these mines were
seized by the confederate government
for the purpose of procuring fuel, and
they are still largely productive. This
coal bed has an area of about $50 square
miles and an average thickness of "a
feet. It is supposed to contain about
5O,0OO,0OO tons yet unmined. There is
reason to believe that the Indians knew
something of the use of coal.
