Old Ben Franklin, who was once the

Dr. Franklin meant to express the doc

same original tribe. This fact Is made
known by the Rev. DR.. George de la

del. having recently returned from A
tour OF the Jesuit missions OF Alaska
This discovery was made. said
Fother de la Motto, through the Curl

had been told a tradition OF the tribe
handed down from father to son fol

was found that the same words and

tiles were compared, with the result
that II has been established beyond
reasonable doubt that the Navaios and
Tlnnehs are offshoots OF the same
original stock.
This discovery Is OF immense value

Express Companies
May Consolidate.

NEW YORK, Dec 26~lt Is reported
that the great express companies OF
the United states are formulating
plans for a consolidation. Included in
the proposed merger will be the
Adams, American and United States
companies. The former controls the
Southern Express company, and the
American the National. and is closely
allied with the Wells Fargo.
Rumors of this intended merger
have been frequent OF late and have
been persistently denied, but there is
reason to believe dispite .hese den
ials. that the consolidation will be ef-
fected within very few weeks.
The express companies are enjoying
the most prosperous period of then
existence. As evidence OF this state OF
affairs. the Wells Fargo recently de-
ciared an extra dividend of 2 per cent
and the American company gave away
500 600 In Christmas presents to Its
employees.

Schley and Pitz Lee
Suggested by Croker

FRENCH LICK SPRINGS. Ind,
Dec. 26.--In conversation today, Rich
ard Croker expressed decided OPP
iuion that Rear Admiral Schley would
make q strong Presidential candidate
in 1904 and that the probabilities all
favor a boom for him In the East with
a strong following in the South and
West
Mr.. Coker went to give reasons why
Schley would make an ideal candi-
date
He said there Is a general belief that
the Admiral is being prosecuted by a
clique in the Navy Department, and
that the sympathy Of the American
people is always with a man when the
persecution is the result of Jealousy
and is aimed at merit. Mr.. Croker ex-
pressed the opinion that Congress
would not interfere In the case In any
way. and that lnis would be to the
advantage of Schley and the Demo
cratic party. for Congressional mac
ton would be equivalent to an in
dorsement OF the majority verdict and
thus commit the Republican party to
It,
While not expressing himself de-
finitely upon the question OF second
place. his idea seemed to be that the
Vice President should go to the south
and that the candidate should be one
who saw service In the Cnban cam
paign. 1t was clear that he had in
mind General Fitzhugh Lee when he

IN one not thoroughly familiar with
mining as follows: The mines are
three months old. The company has
5000 900 In cash with which to work
them. No part OF the mine and not
share OF the stock OF the company are
for sale. Three careful estimates place
the value of the gold actually In sight
of the naked eye at $27. 600 600 and we
haven't a dollor of Indebtedness.
The mines lie about seventy miles
north of Tucson. in Graham county.
Gold was first discovered there by
Jack Gardin, an old California miner.
We purchased his and few other
claims. IN all fifteen for $l60.Oo0. Our
big discovery was made In OCTOBER
and at that time the papers all over
the country printed big stories about
us. especially the Western papers Our
discovery was simply this: vein OF
gold 200 feet wide, with an outlet OF
about 5000 feet A canyon about 20o
to 800 feet deep cuts straight through
the vein. and ii Is in the sides OF this
canyon that the gold can be seen
The walls are solid with ore, which.
we have discovered. will run from 70
to 800 a ton.
"Gardins discovery was called the
Red Bird. and was made the day
Mckinley was inaugurated. March =.
We bought the property in september
When Gardin made his find there was
not a man within twenty miles of the
spot. Now there are over 1000 people
there. We feel very proud of our hold
