Sacrifice to a Superstitious Cus-
tom.

tom.
 The Yuma Indians, besides their many other heathenish ways, have an memorable law, 1t seems, of sacrificing their medi- cine men who make nine false predictions with regard to either the death or restoration of their patients. A failure to make the correct prognosis in either case sends the doctor to the funeral pyre along with the unfortunates of his treatment. It appears that during the present measles epidemic, so fatal among the In dians just across the Colorado, one of tne most renowned of their three medicine men has had the misfortune to make the fatal nine mistakes. When the ninth one of his patients died last week the distinguished doc tor took advantage of his knowl edge of addition and discreetly retired to the mountains for med itation and closer study of the hidden virtues of his various panaceas. But like St. John in the wilderness, he hungered, and after 8 seclusion of three days returned to the tribe. A council was immediately called and a greatpow-w WOW had. The unfor- tunate Esculapian was seized and bound, and as a prisoner was taken in the direction of the Mexican line. He has not re- turned, and probably will never do so. As to his fate no white man knows, as the Indians are all very reticent concerning the affair. There will be one medi cine man less in that community at least, and the health of the afflicted Indians may be expected to improve in proportion as his removal decreases the number of his profession. It is needless to say that the custom does not exist among the white people.

The Holiday number of the Coconino Sun is a gem of Arizo- na enterprise. In addition to the regular weekly matter it con- tains twenty-two illustrated pa ges describing the commercial and native resources of Coconino county and the natural beauties of that magic land. The whole is neatly bound and will make a pleasant New Years remem- blance to our eastern friends. The Sentinel extends cOngratu- lations to Bro. Funston and wishes him the prosperity which his efforts so well merit.

ing of the new line from this city to Benson about the middle of January. From that time on the road will be pushed rapidly to completion.
 This same company will con struct a line from near Congress Junction on the s. F. P. & P, which will be pushed in a north westerly direction to the Cobra do river, and probably to Nee dles. This work it is believed will be done during the coming
 year, and will open up some very rich country.
 With the short stretches of
 road completed, the Santa F'e people, by operating thePhelps- Dodge road, will have short line from San Francisco to the City of Mexico and to New Or leans.
 It is believed that the road from Phoenix to Yuma will be pushed during the coming year,
 and when completed it will give the traveller q chance to view the most beautiful country in the world. The road will traverse
 the Salt River valley, passing
 through Buckeye, Phoenix and
 running direct to Yuma. TEis
 district is particularly rich as an agricultural center, and the road will be of great benefit to the farmers of the valleys.-GaZette.

There are some people in this world who are never willing to concede an honest or sincere motive to anyone-at least to one whose politics happens to be opposed to their own. This fact is called to mind by an editorial in the Yuma Sun of last week heaping abuse upon Governor Murphy. The Sun cannot un- derstand why Governor Murphy should so strongly favor state hood and go to Washington to try to help secure it, knowing as he does that there is a brutal democratic majority that would stand in the way of his political aspiration in case statehood were secured
 The Sun sneeringly refers to Governor Murphy in connection with his defeat as a delegate to congress in 1900 and trolls as a sweet m0rsel the narrow and contemptible action of the state hood convention at Phoenix last summer in ignoring the governor whenit came to naming delegates to Washington to work for state hood. In this connection the Sentinel desires to go on record with the statement that this ignoring of the governor was a small piece of business, brutally discourteous, without the slight est decent excuse that this sO- called ''non- political" convention could muster up. Governor Murphy had been the most act live worker for statehood in the territory; it was by his own vo- lition that the convention vas called through public announce ment, over his own signature, thus giving the movement tangi- bility and weight, and 1t was through his activity and evident earnestness that a real statehood sentiment was worked up which resulted in a full repre- sentatiOn at the convention from every county. It was a good, big gathering, but as a "nonpo- litical" convention it was farce. Governor Murphy will go to Washington, notwithstanding, and accomplish more toward se- curing statehood than any other man who was or who could be sent there for that purpose.

The Finest GarnetS.

The finest garnets produced in the United States are found in New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California. The Silver City Enterprise says the garnet is abundant on the Navajo reser-. vation, where the Iudians collect them in large quantities from the ant hills, which are numerous there. The ant does all the hard work for the Indians. In build ing their homes, or hills, the ants run across these garnets as pebbles which obstruct their galleries and passageways. They then proceed to dig them out from the softer rock around them and bring them to the sur face, where they are dumped out on the hill. The Navajo Indians find them and pick them up. The New Mexico garnets, as we'll as those from Arizona and Colorado, are found loose in the sand. The color of the gem IS not constant, and is therefore no criterion for the jewel, which may be deep red, or purplish red stone. The gems vary in color from black through red to several shades Of brown, orange, red, yellow, emerald green, pink and nearly white.-Pacifc Coast Miner.

Germany did not 5undertake this little bill collecting business without having in mind the Mon roe Doctrine, and the well-known "techiness" of Uncle Sam. So Baron Eon Holleben, German Ambassador, was instructed to see the President and to say that there will be no violation of the Monroe Doctrine.
 Germany's plans according to the Statementconveyed by Baron Von Holleben, are to send a squadron to Venezuelan ports, land marines, seize the customs houses and hold them until rev. enue equal to the S2,000, ,000 owed by the Venezuelan Govern ment to German subjects shall have been collected. According to Baron Won Holleben's assur- ances, his government will, un- der no circumstances, attempt to acquire any territory or to hold any territory other than that embraced in the customs houses.

John J. Hoduett, vice presi- dent and manager of the El Paso, Phoenix and California Southern, Tempe, A. T., says that this proposed road will be 300 miles in length, running from Benson to Yuma via Mammoth, Kelvin, Florence, Mason City, Tempe, Phoenix and Yuma. A prelimi- nary survey has been made from Phoenix to Yuma, POO 0miles, and it is expected to let contracts for the grading and bridging right away. The road will have light grade and will pass through the rich agricultural valleys of the Salt river and the Gila river. Eventually the line is to be ex- tended from Yuma to San Diego, Cal. There will be 8 bridge 1,70O feet long across the Salt river, a
 bridge 1,00O feet long across the Gila, a bridge 500 feet long across the Agua F'ria, and a
