DANCED SEVEN DAYS.

Yakima Indians Hold Their Medicine
Dance-Some Barbarous Practices.
TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 27.-The va.
hma Indians have just closed seven
days medicine dance near ToppeIish.
A peculiar feature of this dance and one
that neighboring white people supposed
had never existed except in the minds
of dime novel writers is the self-indicted
torture of those participating in the
dances. This rite has deep religious
significance for them. Of course not all
of the Yakima Indians take part in these
barbarous practices. Many of them are
well-educated men and women and live
very much as their white neighbors
The Indians who tortured themselves
this week included several young bucks
who have been away to school and edu-
Gated. Returning home they relapsed
into the ways of savagery and discarded
the white mans dress for blankets and
feathers.
All of the dancers inflicted numerous
wounds upon themselves with knives,
stones and sharpened sticks. Cutting
holes in their flesh, they inserted rings
Of leather through them and pulled at
these thongs until the flesh gave way.
Some of them. danced almost contin-
uously for seven days, stopping only
when physically exhausted. A young
buck about 80 years old held out the

The Yaquis had also Maxim gun,

and. the first intimation of the presence
of the Yaquis was whitening fire from
the Maxim and of rifle volleys from
Notifications in Dense Thicket.
The First division retreated in con.

in the afternoon hill signals showed the

sion that the second detachment had
reached the neighboring heights to the
southeast in it's flank movement. A
simultaneous attack was then made
from the front and flank and the In
dams retreated. The Maxim gun, dis

BIG BRITISH CAPITAL.
The rIoutexamA Company Backed BY
Big British Capital to Do Lots
OF Work West Of cosIdaIe

Tuesday Mr.. N. E. Barnes and
Capt. G. Melville Boynton were in
Canon City arranging some final min
ing deals, in connection with their
properties at Coaldale. These gentle
men are from London, England, and
represent the Montszuma Gold Mining
Company, which has large properties
on Hayden Creek. up in West Ere
mont.
These gentlemen represent large
syndicate that will prospect and de-
velop some tunnels and mines near
Coaldale. They have good gold bear
ing ore near the surface. Assays
have been had a. high as one and =
half ounces, or $50 per ton.
They talk of putting up big con-
centrator, and are now returning to
England to perfect arrangements for
their big enterprise.
Mr.. Barnes Is . man of means and
push. While the handling Of twenty
five full claims, developing them and
the capitalization Of q big company
would be a big thing for most people,
it is an ordinary everyday affair for
Mr.. Barnes.
Capt. G. Melville Boynton is best
known as the famous walker. He
has walked, no doubt. more miles
than any other living man. He broke
all records in walking to the summit
of Pixies Peak and back, and won 3
large wagon by walking 1000 mile,
in 1000 consecutive hours. When
Capt. Boynton is in training little
stroll like that from Colorado Springs
to Leadville is considered nothing.
He takes those sort Of walks to keep
in practice. One time, whom be was
walking from Canon to Lsadville, he
stopped over night At Coaldals, and was
pursuaded to remain a few days and
look over the mining prospects there.
The result was the discovery Of the
Montezuma and the formation of the
Montezuma Gold Mining Company.
