SOME MEN GROW ON TREES.
This Is the Belief of an Indian and
Some other Tribes.

The Sioux Indians still share with
the old Aryan and Semitic tribes in the
belief that there are trees that bring
forth human beings and others that
bear various portions of the human
body, and in the fourteenth century
an Italian traveller, on arriving at Nal
abar. was told by the natives that the
country abounded with a tree that
bore men and women. The latter were
attached TO the limbs by the neither eX-
tremites and were full formed when
the wind blew, but when the wind died
out they soon withered. These speci-
mems of humanity reached the length
or height of three feet.
In the first book of the Mahadharata
mention is made of forms of dwarfs
that were TO be found on a large fig
tree. The Arabs are still strong in the
belief that somewhere in the southern
ocean there is a tree that bears nut
that resembles the face of man and
when in its fullness the mouth opens
and gives voice to the cry: Walk
WAX The Chinese reverse the order
VI A4iAhSo anu AAloltcih VI bNiitNlIS AiAtAN
the trees give birth to men, claim that
in the beginning the herbs and grass
sprang from the hair of the human
family. They have preserved the ira
ditiOn too, that somewhere within the
borders of the beautiful Flowery
Kingdom there is a wonderful lake by
whose margin grew trees whose leaves
developed into birds and also that if
jar be broken on the waters, birds Of
the most brilliant plumage will at once
arise from the pieces and fly off.
In central India there is a tribe call
ed Khatties that claim to have their
origin from a stick of wood. When
the five sons of pandu, the heroes
whose exploits are told in the Mahad-
harata, had become simple tenders Of
sheep, Karna, their illegtimate broth
er, wishing to deprive them of their
last resource, prayed to be gods to as
sist him. He struck the earth with his
staff, which opened. and from it sprans
a man who was called Khat, meaning
begotten of wood, and by this name
have his descendants ever since been
known.-St. Louis Republic.

\ newspaper is an educator; there are all

who has little or nothing to spend.
THE SUN is the highest type of a news
paper.

throughout the United States, as well as in
Europe, South Africa, China, and, in fact, all
over the world, make it an up-to-date news

DIR. b. X. Mckenzie has taken bond
on the old Paymaster mine from Nc
Nicely Il Bohne and will begin work on
the property within few days. The
mine has been operated for years by
the owners and chloriders and pro.
duced great deal of ore. In the lower
workings there is nice body of ruby
silver ore carrying good values in gold.
Since the bond was given the owners
have run into body of very rich ore
and appear to regret having tied the
property up.

The Excursion TO Chloride.

In response TO an invitation from
citizens of Chloride our local dramatic
company went out to that thriving vii.
lage last Saturday night and rendered
their play, sour Uncle from Japan"
for the benefit of the Chloride school
fund. Two cars of the special train
furnished by the Chloride committee
were filled to overlooking. and on ar
irving at the depot hacks we're ready to
take the troupe and those accompany
ing up town, When those Chloriders
do anything they do it in a royal man
ner and there was no stint in the way
they handled this affair. They had
said to the Kingman people, "come out
and render your play and we will pay
the eight" and they did it. When
the party arrived in the city the ladies,
some twenty-five in number, were TAX
en- to the residence of Mrs. A. Altman
where they had arranged a luncheon.
AS one lady of the kingman party eX-
pressed it, that luncheon was dream
realized Each table was a bed of
flowers, some brought from Los An
geles, but the most beautiful and at
tractive ones coming from the noun
tains, which make so grand back
ground for this city of mines. From a
center piece on each table festoons
reached to the ceiling, making a dis
play so beautiful that it did not take
much of a stretch of the Imagination
to make one think they we're sitting
down to a spread at Delmonico's. And
the delicious repast bore out the prom.
Use extended by the trimmings. There
was only one thing lacking at that
table, and that was-men. In the
meanwhile these poor fellows were be-
ing entertained down town, where they
could do justice to their apl cities.
Not a thing was lost sight of by these
princely providers to make the trip
! one to be long remembered.
| Inspired by the way they were re-
ceived, and the $50 people present, the
performers did themselves justice in
the rendition of the comedy. There
was no hitch in the performance and
the people of Chloride expressed them
selves satisfied with the piece from
beginning to end. Notwithstanding
the heavy expense the committee put
them selves TO, it is with pleasure that
we publish the following report, show.

Six miles from st. Thomas oil seep-
ages have been found and party of
Californians have already located sew
eral thousands of acres of the land.
A few weeks ago the MINER called at
tention to the fact that asphaltum ex-
listed in that country and that sooner
or later oil would be found there. The
country has all necessary indications
of oil and the deposit will be found to
extend up the Virgin Valley to point
near Beaver Dam in this county.
Frank NJ. Barnes is one OF the original
locators of the new field and several
other Mohave county men are inter
e-ted. Oil in that country means great
things to the people, as fuel is both
scarce and costly. The mines at
Phoebe and Delamar could readily be
supplied with fuel oil from wells at st
Thomas.
