The Yaqui Insurgents.

Guaymas, Mex, Nov. 2O---A Yaqui
Indian sub-chief Of that tribe, who de-
serted the rebels few days ago, ar
rived here and furnished the military
authorities valuable information con-
cerning the location and the plan of
campaign of the Indian forces. He
says the Mauser rifles do not cause as
much fear among the Indians as the
old Remingtons, as the bullets do not
inflict such severe wounds and heal
quickly. There are according to this
Indian about 2,200 insurgents alto
gether, of which 1000 are north of the
Yaqui river, and 200 in the mountains
The rebels are organized in companies
of forty men each under captain and
are drilling regularly and the chiefs
continually exhort them to continue
the fight until the "Yoris" white mem
are all killed.

BLAND BUsTLINes
i he Puzzle Group of Mines Sold to
Eastern Capitalists-Other
Items.
Bland Herald.

A deal which is important in many
respects was concluded last Monday,
when Thomas Fl. Benson sold his Puz-
zle group Of mining claims to eastern
capitalists. The Puzzle group is sit
uated in Obannon gulch, south fork
Of Cola canyon on the main road.
They have lately proven themselves
to be good paying mines in which are
great quantities of both medium and
high grade ore. The group is com
prised of five mines: Puzzle No. /,
Puzzle No. 2, H. M. Teller, Isabella
and Victor No. 2. A good deal of de-
velopment work has been done on the
group consisting of shafts, tunnels,
etc. In Puzzle No. 1, in which very
high grade ore has been found, "A shaft
of 122 feet has been sunk and tunnel
of 10 feet developed. 1t uncovers
ledge of probably % feet and shows
up nicely. A cross cut has been made
but the foot wall has not yet been dis
cl sed This mine averages from So
to $40 per ton in values. In Puzzle
No. 2, there is 20 foot shaft and a
IA foot tunnel. In the H. M. Teller
the ore averages from $40 to $14 per
ton. In this mine a we'll defined ledge
of good pay rock has been disclosed
| It also contains 80 foot shaft and a
tunnel 80 feet in length. The Isabella
| Is another mine in this valuable group
and it gives promise of being as val
liable as any of the others of the group
when it is thoroughly developed. Il
contains 20 foot tunnel and shows
a ledge of feet of splendid ore. The
Victor No. also shows promising
signs of rich mineral deposits ant
contains a shaft of "a feet with some
30 feet of work accomplished in oper
cuts.
This group ranks among the bes
and richest in the neighborhood IL
which it is located. II it is developed
as extensively as it should be by it

gregation rose and sang THE Star
Spangled Banner" closing with the
occasional hymn and THE Dead
March from Saul" by Handel. The
George Washington Memorial Asso-
citation held a three days session i'll
the banquet hall OF the Raleigh hotel.
The leading object of the societyis to
raise $25O,000 to build a splendid
memorial hall here which will form
the administration building for
national University as suggested by
Washington in his will, for the
purpose of higher education. Mrs.
Ellen A. Richardson of Boston has
been called the mother or great pro-
moter of this society. 1t is said
that Washington left $25, 900, or
stocks and shares amounting nowto
that sum in his will. The society
was started in 1897 and great deal
of aggressive pioneer work has been
done, but there seemed to be crisis
in the business affairs that has occa-
stoned some friction amongst the
various committees. Mr.. Smith
acted as parliamentarian for the
president at the sessions and Col.
H. H. Adams of New York city as
counsel for the committees. Mrs.
L. D. M. Sweat of Maine was elected
for the next president, and it all
ended tremendously. There was
very fine memorial meeting in La
fayette Opera House Thursday even
ing. with many prominent educators
for speakers and an immense audience
of leading citizens. The building
was beautifully draped with the
national colors. Music was fur
mis- ed by the Fourth Artillery Band
and the Choral Society. John A.
Kasson introduced the speakers,
who eulogized Washington and
endorsed the Memorial Associa ton,
its work and purpose. When the
national song was sung, the stars
and stripes formed by electric lights
above the Choral Society on the
platform, waved back and forth with
magical effect. The meeting was a
great success.

A Question Well Answered.

The Celestial Empire of Shanghai
is perhaps the leading paper publish
ed in the Orient in the English Ian
guage and the comments of this
journal on our policy in the Philip
pines are always interesting and sug-
gestive. A recent number OF this
paper answers the oft repeated ques-
ton of those opposed to the Presi
dents polcy,-"Cui bono" for what
good is all this expense and sacrifice
of men. Here is their answer
al America will only regard her new
possessions as held in trust tor civiliza-
ton there is scarcely any limit to bless
ings which will result from her govern
ment Of them. Nor will her own reward
be small. II we are right in our interpre.
tation OF the signs Of the times, America
has already begun to reap the harvest
she has sown. We do not now speak of
any increase in her trade; we have in
mind the quickened and extended feeling
oil the American people that an imperial
mission demanded ~ competent and
clean civil service, inaccessible to party
manipulation; (2) settled and stable
system Of finance; and 81 renovated
and reorganized diplomatic and consular
service. In striving to solve the problems
OF weaker peoples, America may not i'm.
probably find the solution OF some per.
plexities and difficulties OF her own.

the message of American progress and
prosperity, and plant them upon the

After awhile it will all be over. Peace
will be won and then our real work will
begin.
The school teacher will supplant the

Gone to Their Reward.

The year closes with the deaths CT
some very prominent people and the
neurology of the past week includes
the Duke of Westminster. Dwight L.
Moody, Dorman B. Eaton and
Daniel S. Ford. The first named in
our list was the richest man in Eng
land and left fortune of over $780,
100000. Evangelist Moody's death
was not unexpected as he was strick-
en- down with a heart trouble while
preaching in Kansas City about a
month ago. He was one of the
greatest men of the century and has
done more for the salvation and edu-
cation of the people of England and
America than any one else. Mr..
Eaton was a native of Hardwick,
where he was born June 81, 1928,
was graduate of the University of
Vermont, and is best known for his
efforts to improve the civil service.
Mr.. Ford was for 40 years the pro-
prietor, publisher and editor-in-chief
of the Youths Companion. He gave
the closest attention to every detail
of that paper, and was man of
generosity and full of good deeds.

Rev. Mr.. SheldOn's Creed.

The author of I'm His Steps," which is
now running as serial in the CALICO
MAN, has adopted shorter creed, so
simple, he says, that child can under
stand it, but one that embodies all the
essential pledges OF the old Congrega-
tional covenant. 1t is as follows:
Dearly beloved, called of God to be his
children through Jesus Christ, we give
hearty thanks to God, who, by his spirit,
has opened your eyes to see and your
heart to receive Jesus as Lord, and who
has led you to present yourself here to
confess him and to unite with his church.
Now, before God, your Heavenly
Father, and Jesus, his son, and in the
presence OF his people, you promise to
devote yourselves during your whole life
to the love. service and obedience OF Jesus
Christ. You promise to walk in his
steps so far as you know them now or
may hereafter learn them through his
holy scriptures and to do his will so far
as you may be able, through the help OF
the Holy Spirit. You do cordially unite
yourself with this church OF Christ, and
you promise to share with us in it's .wor-
ship and work, by attending the services
of the church, by aiding in the financial
and social work of the church, and by
taking upon yourself such responsibilities
as you believe belong to you as a mem
Der of this church.
Do you so promise?
Now, unto him who is able to keep you
from falling and to present you faultless
before the presence o: his glory with ex-
ceeding joy, to the only wise God, our
Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion
and power, both now and forever. Amen
