THE LOST FRENCHMAN.
A Prescott Man Returns From a Hunt for the Missing Mine-Not
 Good Place for Poor Men.

Charles Behm, mention of whose return from a prospecting tour of sev- eraI months was made in yesterday s issue, was interviewed by the Journal Miner in regard to his trip and it's success, during which he said:
 T have been out of Yavapai county for the first time in several years. have been in Yuma county in the Short Horn mountains looking for the Lost Frenchman's mine. I had information from an Indian woman which led me to believe I could find it, but I did most of my prospecting about two and One-half miles from where the remains of the Frenchman were buried. Since my return I have received additional information, and knowing the country, I can now go to where the remains are buried. The mine, I was told, is near them.
 Yavapai county today has one hun dred prospects working to one down there and in live camps is far in the lead. At the Harqua Halas they are working a small force. Their pumping station is located about five miles from the mine. Water is pumped about two and one-half miles and then runs by gravity to the mill and mine. Wood is hauled fifteen miles and is getting scarcer every day.
 q did not go to the King of Arizona, but from all reports that is a big mine. They get their water twenty miles away and it is worth cents per gall lon Their ore is hauled forty miles to the mill on the Gila, at cost of $8 per ton All but four or five of the miners were discharged while I was in the Short Horns. There is misun- derstanding among the owners and by the kindly legal advice given to both parties it is fast drifting into litigation Ga very poor fOrmation), but a rich mine makes good, rich legal picking.
 Prospecting is done altogether diff ferently from in this section. One sees not more than one burro outfit there to four here. All kinds of wheel ve- hicles are also used, as the mountains are out in the desert, So that one can drive to any point he may want to prospect. It also gives a person an opportunity to haul water.
 >'Every station keeper has a lost mine or two on hand and there are very few prOspectOrs but what will try to see if they are the lucky ones to find them.
 There are several Yavapai people down there who wanted me to remem- Der them to their friends. At Harris burg Jim Vickers and family are now located. Jim has wood contract there Near by MT. and Mrs. Reed have a ranch. MT. Reed furnished Harris burg and the mine With beef. Here also found Mrs. Campbell, Jack Rarick, Dave Finkbinder and the Devine boys, all old Yavapaians. Reeds ranch is headquarters for parties from this section. At Cullen's wells Joe Drew an old timer, keeps a store and station. Not to be outdone by his fellow station keepers he has a lost mine or two on tap, too.
 Tt was windy, cold and disagree able while I was in the Short Horns. Ice formed several nights and three or four days did not thaw in the sun. I would advise men who are looking for work, especially those who are broke, to keep away from that sec tiOn."

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1899-11-23

There is not great deal of fun in
the Philippines, but one occasionally
encounters a sight or an incident
which brings smile. Usually, these
are of type which must be seen to be
appreciated. In wandering about Ma
nila, particularly the new city, which
is the centre OF material life as the
old city is of spiritual life, one should
either have his nose ut home or plug
it up. The wear and tear exercised
by the highways and byways upon the
olfactory organs are quite severe.
There is fair measure of offense to
the eye as well, but that instrument
possesses wider adaptability than
does the nose. 1t resents less keenly.
The novelty is ephemeral, but there is
novelty for the outsider in the life of
the chief city of the Philippines. The
novelty gone, one rather shrinks from
it all. 1T gets almost to border on the
repulsive, so greatly is it lacking in
inherent attractiveness.

Costumes For Everyday Wear.

Two useful gowns are shown in the
large illustrations. One is brown
tweed with an absolutely plain skirt.
The blouse waist is tucked and the
wide collar and haring cuffs are
finished with stitched braid. A stock
and long Tended cravat of cream silk
complete the costume. With it is
worn jaunty brown felt hat. which
is ornamented with brown quills and
velvet.
The other frock is designed little
more elaborately and has the strap
trimming which has become so popular
for this season, particularly for out-of-
door wear. The straps of black braid
trim the pointed tunic and is seen on
the circular founce of the jupe proper.
The material is rough blue serge and
the vest is cream silk tucked, with
revers of lemon .colored cloth orna-
mented by fancy braid of blue, red,
cream and silver threads and set off by
tiny black buttons. The revers and
slashed jacket are of the same material
as the skirt and are braided to corre-
spond. A broad brimmed rough straw,
blue and white, is loaded with berries,
leaves and rosettes of black tulle.

Tha FriiIed Sheep of Africa.

The sheep that inhabit the noun
famous regions OF Northern Africa up
to Nubia is kind of wild sheep which
has received its specific name from
the lcng name which covers the fore
pat of the body. Captured young,
it can easily be tanned and trained,
The old bucks, however, are very
vicious. These animals attain an
average height of thirty-seven and a
half inches, and the length of the
body is from sixty to sixty five inches,
without measuring the tail. The
illustration represents specimen of
these sheep living at the geological
garden in Berlin, Germany. 1t is not
known whether the frilled sheep had
any relation with the domestic ami
mails of Africa. Skeletons of these
sheep are found in the Egyptian
museums, and these quadrupeds are
