INDIANS USING WAMPUM.
Thu Primitive Shell Curr~ acy L. stAn
MAJ u1actared by Caiifor1Aa
Redmen.

During recent relic-h uniting trip
into Lake and Mendocino counties,
Curator Charles p. Wilcomb. of the
Golden Gate Park museum. paid a visit
to the headquarters of several of the
tribes OF Pomo indians. i'll Potter val
ley. and made many interesting OBJ
servations of the customs and habits of
this still unciyilized and strangely
primitive people. He obtained num-
Der of rare and valuable relics from
them, among others tribal pestle
within an inch of three feet long, which
had descended from chief to chief of
one of the tribes through uncounted
generations until it fell into the hands
of a dead chiefs wife. Only the most
persistent effort and cunning play on
the old woman's cupidity secured the
pes;le for Curator Wilcomb, who has
placed it in the museum and cherishes
it as one of his dearest exhibits
Among the things which Mr.. VII.
comb found in the possession of the
Pomos and coveted, but could not buy,
was a coinage mint, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. According TO the
in America who still make wampum for
actual circulation as n medium of ex-
change and who prefer it in their tribal
dealings to the money Of the white
men. Other Indians have il in their
possession, but no others continue TO
coin it.
Mr.. Wilcomb found the Pomo mint
working full blast. Its machinery is ex-
ceedingly simple and of exceedingly
primitive design, consisting of two
short wooden uprights, with a cross
piece at the top, a stone base and a
rudely formed stone drill, which ope-
rates through hole in the cross piece
Once year the Indians gather mate
rial from which to make their money
They travel in bands to the ocean
shore, so or 90 miles away, and there
gather shells which their women carry
home in baskets. A, home the shells are
turned over TO the official coiners. who
polish them TO perfect smoothness and
roundness on fat stones. The polished
shell is then laid on the stone base OF
the mint machine, and hole is drilled
through it with the stone drill. 1t is
then wampum, is strung on wire or a
string, and is ready for circulation. The
value of the she large ones
are worth more than small ones, al
though the smaH ones are the hardest
to make. Sometimes the stones are
colored with pigments and then they
become more valuable than ever. Some
of them are rated at as much as dollar
apiece. A string Of them makes its pos
SCISSOR a wealthy man.
Strangely enough. the OFFICIAL coiners
of the Pomos are all blind. They are
chosen from among the distinguished
members of the tribe, and no Indian
can become coiner who has not
reached ripe old age. They become
exceedingly expert with the rude drills
despite their blindness. and in days
time can turn out enough wampum to
make them wealthy Indians were they
its destined owners. Curator Wilcomb
has several strings of it in the museum
although he could not induce the Pomos
to part with their mint.-S, Louis Re

| to between two and three thousand
dollars, and as they were all shown
in about one hours time it is easy to
see that the exhibition was very
interesting one.
The opening piece of the exhibit
was prismatic illumination 800 feet
in nlength, stretched across the grounds.
This was preceded by the Admirals
salutes Of seventeen guns. Flights of
rockets were then followed by shells
and bombs which exploded in the air.
A very pretty affair was the special
design to welcome the Admiral, the
words formining an arch, "Vermont
welcomes her Hero Home" Starry
meteors, aerolites, rockets, Japanese
shells, and tourbillions followed show
ing the great fire motto, "Manila,
May 1898 Montpelier, Oct. 1S99." Then
came the meteoric storm, in which
the air was filed with thousands of
the little balls of fire, which appeared
to rain fire for a time. Another pretty
display was the signals, Remember
the Maine," which was followed soon
after by the ''Cruiser Olympia" show
ing the flags of the United States and
the special flag of the Admiral. Other
set pieces were given, "The Saxon
Cross'' and the ''Flag Rising" perhaps
the best being the battle of Manila,
and the destruction Of the Spanish
feet. The closing piece was one in
which the words, "Good Night" were
shown in balls of fire.
At the close of this gorgeous display
the large bonfire on the top of Capitol
hill was lighted, making another
object to be viewed by the assembled
thousands. The material for this
bonfire covered a large area and
ascended to a great height. In tne
morning it had been well smeared
with tar, varnish ETC., and the whole
covered with kerosene oil, three bar
rels being used for the purpose. Much
intrest was manifested in this bon
fire and as the flames shot upward a
great shout went up. This fire lasted
for over an hour, during which time
the sky was brilliantly Illuminated,
and was a fitting close of the great
celebration.
The following day Admiral Dewry
was at Northfeld to take part in the
laying of the corner stone for the
Dewey memorial hall. The address
was delivered by Senator Depew of
New York.

BOERS UL1TNATUM.

The New York Tribune has the fol-
lowing cable from London:
The magnitude and the deliberatiOn
of the British preparations for war
are now regarded by many keen OBJ
servers as safeguards against hostili-
ties. An aggressive British campaign
in South Africa is deferred until the
end of November, and the RESPONSE
bility Of declaring war is forced upon
the Beers, who will unite the English
people against them by any overt act
against Natal. Unless they are will
ing to face this responsibility and put
themselves on the wrong side Of the
moral question, they will keep their
i'll ll-organized army encamped on the
borders for nearly two months, until
the British army are prepared to at
tack them with an overwhelming
force.
Men who have been in South Africa
are emphatic in the declaration that
the Beers must either attack within
week or run the risk of having a dis
the end of November. Delay and
mastery inactivity are on the side of
the big battalions. A prominent Lib
eral sums up the Transvaal situation
in this way:
''It will not be a campaign, but big
parade for imperial purposes-the
biggest ever known Ofredcoats. Kru-
ger has forced us to send 25, 900 regu-
lars, in addition to the 5000 already
dispatched, and there will be no fight
ing in the end, since the dullest dop-
pei can understand that there is no
chance Of defeating a force of such
magnitude. The money will not be
wasted, since this fine parade will
convince everybody everywhere that
England is the paramount power in
South Africa.'
Later a special dispatch from Lady
smith, Natal, says that the Beers oc-
cupied Laings Mex the moment the
ultimatum expired and are now pour
been occupied.
Official confirmation of the an
nouncement that the Orange Free
State burghers have entered Natal by
way of Van Reenen's Pass is at hand.
It leaves no further room for doubt
that acts of war have already been
committed and that the campaign
has begun.
News of an invasion on the north
ern border is also generally accepted
as reliable, therefore, that clash be-
tween the forces of Briton and Boer
can not be long delayed, if it has not
Cured already.
