It's appro- priation for the fiscal year is Sll2,20 just S20O more than will be received by the more noted Indian training schools at Carlisle, Pa., and Lawrence, Kan. The school here has an attendance of over four hundred, and it's mission ap- pears to be to fit all the young Indians of the Arizona plains tribes for useful activity in many of the white mans occupations. The buildings, which occupy central position on quarter section of land three miles north of the city, are already extensive, but im- provements are projected that will about double their capacity. Work is in progress on new boys dormitory, to cost $l4, 800. It is to accommodate 150 cots. Plans for still another simi- lar dormitory are being prepared, as we'll for an office building to cost s5O00. The appropriation bill now before con gress includes an item of $lO0O00 for the erection of a manual training school. An important feature already contracted for is an automatic sewer age system, whereby the sewerage of the buildings will be used for the ir- rigation of part Of the large school farm.

stand by the plaintiffs, who are still
putting in their direct evidence. The
direct examination of the witness oc-

The rest of the day was given over to
his cross-examination. Counsel for the
defendants tried to disqualify the wit
ness as an expert, but did not succeed
any further than to show that the
only schooling he had received rela-
tive to mining engineering was in the
nature of an ordinary university
mathematical coures.
The territory between the transverse
veins crossing the ground involved in
the case was the subject of much at
tention from Mr.. Patterson in his
cross-examination of the witness, and
among other things it was brought out
that the witness had not tried to fol-
low individual veins across the trans
verse assures in his examination of the
Rarus lode. but had been content with
following ore connections. The ques-
tions of Mr. Patterson indicated that
the counsel for the defendants would

testify on behalf of the plaintiffs, and
his examination was taken in charge by
c. ]. Hughes, one of the legal represen-
tatives of the Montana Ore Purchasing
company. Mr.. Palmer was asked to
state his name, residence and occupa-
