around their corral, ready and willing
to do any work that might be given
them But there was none for them
to do, and finally the owners turned
them loose to get their living as best
they could. 1t was several months
before they vcnturcd far from their
home, but in time they managed to
wander all over the deserts Of arizona
and even into Mexico and New Mcxi-
CO. At first some of the bold cowboys
thought to have fun with the meek.
sad looking camcls that crossed their
tracks. But they never tried it a
second time. 1t was always somewhat
difficult to make COW pony yet near
enough to a camel t. throw Il rope
over its neck. But the trick was
often dodc, and the cowboy settled
back in his saddle to haze IA good
laugh at the antics Of he beast.
But about moment later the COW
boy generally thought the country had
been struck by IL cycl"nc. His horse
jcrkcd from under him and usually
dragged him to death unless the lariat
fortunately broke. The cowboy bump
cd the ground pretty hard and in some
cases came to i'll time to witness the
rul Of his horse, ar possibly see the
bruised animal lying on the sand and
Tie saddle following IL camel into the
distance. y COW pony could no more
hold one of the tomStock animals than
1t could a steam engine, and the COW
boy who found this out by experience
learned a lesson that he never forgot.
As the years went by the camcls de-
creased in numbers, and in spite Of
the fact Chat they were running wild
the remaining ones always had long
ing for human companionship. They
would wander into the villages and
frequently would let the children be
lifted on their backs for ride. ANY
village would gladly have taken car.
OF one or two Of the camcls, but they
made it troublesome for the horses.
For some reason horse dislikes the
smell Of camel, and so, after few
days, to the intense grief of the chill
dren. the animals had to be driven
out on the desert again. Should
prosrcctor without horse happen to
be camping in lonely spot and one of
the camels came along it would exhibit
all the signs of perfect friendlincss.
Mess the man drove tn. camel away
it would remain around the camp for
weeks. 1t always foraget, its own
food and water, but simply ycarncd to
be near some human being. Camcls
and dogs are nearly always good
friends
six yeats ago the original herd Of
thirteen camcls had dwindlcd down to
two, rs near as could be Judged from
the people who lived in the country
where the animals made their home.
That year one of the pair died and the
other was left alone. lie was very
old even then, because he was at least
ten years old when he worked on the
Comstock. An old ex-showman who
saw him when last he visited Phoenix,
placed his age at least seventy years.

their death message. In the thickest
OF the fight, blinded by choking
powder smoke, deafened with the din

whisper OF Mauser bullets and the
roar OF heavy ordinance, with the
blood OF warrior ancestors tingling
through their veins, the Idaho troops
fought their bravest, earning no in
considerable part in the glory of the
day
In the engagement about Paco
church and convent, in which insurg-

contracts for brick, to be delivered

as possible. The capacity of his
plant is $1,000 per day, and if those
expecting to build will give their or

be run to its full capacity and, tax
ing advantage Of the cheap spring
labor, furnish brick considerably
cheaper than IL made later in tue
season with q dragging, half capacity

this matter at once as, their giving

On last week about two tons OF
Seven DEVILS copper ore arrived in
Weiser from the Green Vale and
Myrtle mines owned by New York
parties and being developed under
the direction Of Mr., James Walton.
This is some OF the rich copper glance
and the first load to arrive out OF
about 8 tons piled at the mine; it is
very pure, averaging well over so
per cent copper, almost any indvid
ual piece being 60 to 65 percent pure.
This company, whose prospectus we
mentioned last week, is now working
8 men but as the ground is opened
up and room found for them more
will be put on, until enough ore is
taken out and in sight to keep the
smelter, the company are figuring on,

In our railroad notes on first page
appears the important statement that
the Short Line management has ex-
pressed the readiness OF the road to
furnish the rails for branch road in
to Central Idaho II the people OF the
communities would get on foot be-
ginning to the enterprise. The SIG
NAL has repeatedly stated that 100
miles Of road up the Weiser river
would do the business and open up
the grand empire of Washington
county and Central Idaho; and it
has urged those who have financial
interests In Weiser and who are able

uheel and start the work. At one
tlzae NV thousand dollars would
have started the work Of grading and
the rest would have been practically
easy, no doubt. The real estate sub
sides which have in the past been
raised In Weiser could be hypothe-
cstsd for the money to do a great
deal OF grading, and with rails furn-
ished by the Short Line, the first sec.

capital to push northward.

GOMEZ NOT FITTED TO RULE.
General Ernst Says Few Cubans Can
InteIliSently Govern Cuban
Affairs,
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
More than 1850 soldiers from Cuba, most
of them discharged from the service. who
arrived on the Havana, were glad to be re-
leased from quarantine yesterday.
General H. o. Ernst, inspector general on
Major General Brookes staff since jan
uary. said there was no illness in Havana
nor had there been for some time.
There has been delay in distributing
the S3,OO0.OOO among the Cuban soldiers
said General Ernst. 'One cause of delay
was the assembly which was organized by
General Gomez to give him d standing be-
fore the United States. The assembly rep
resented nobody.
in the opinion of many some of the
Cubans have been guilty of fraud. 1t was
"a surprise when the rolls were found to
contain the names of 4S,o00 men. Gomez
and Senator Porter had calculated the rolls
would show only 30,CG0 men. 1t was de-
all those who had civil offices and those
who had Joined the army since July l..
There are still $500 names, which must be
sifted down.
Il believe that all the American soldiers
now in Cuba will be needed and that the
offer of General Gomez to raise 1000 men
will not be considered.
In my opinion there are few Cubans
capable of directing affairs intelligently.
Gomez is good man, but he has many
enemies. ] do not believe he is qualified TO
