NEGROES GROW RICH FAST.
Many Of Those Living In the Creek
Nation Are Weil.to-oo.

1t is not in the South that the richest
negroes are found. although many In
that region have amassed q goodly
store Of property since the war. Doubt
less the wealthiest community Of col
0red people in the world Is found
among the Creek Indians in Indian ter
ritory. There are about 1000 of them,
and they are worth on an average OF
5000 each. The wealth of the more
industrious foots up even higher, GER
tain individuals being the owners Of
from $4,000 to 1000 worth of land
each. "a 40
These negroes are the descendants
Of slaves Of the Creek tribe of Indians
and are known as Creek negroes. They
are entitled to q share In the division
OF Greek Indian lands: also part of
the trust funds. Together the 1000 me-
groes own 22.OO0 900 acres of land. And
yet their education is far from COM
plete. Their social environments are
crude In the extreme and progress goes
slowly amid their huts and fields.
Unlike the other Indians OF the rich
i've civilized tribes, the Creeks insisted
upon freeing their slaves to give them
an equal share in their lands and mon
ey. At that time there were few slaves,
but the number grew through descend
ants. until now fully 1000 have laid
successful claim to head right" on
the Creek rolls of citizenship. They
have their own representatives In the
Creek Indian Legislature, their own
schools and their own churches. Ev-
erything bids fair to make them . snod-

States when Indian territory is recov-

SHELTER FOR BENSON.
Ground Will Be Soon Broken for a Fifty Thou
 sand Dollar Plant

Benson is to have custom smelter. The plant will cost in the neighbor- hood of S50,000. The machinery has been ordered. It will be in operation within ninety days.
 In a few words the above is the out look at Benson and in consequence the Benson people are feeling very good and talking shelter, and Benson's flu ture prosperity on the coming of the smelter to the exclusion of everything else. The old-timers are especially active in this move, including tEat old Kentucky war horse, Colonel Land, Castenadas, Friedman, ShiIliam and others.
 The smelter proposition for Henson has passed the speculative period, It IS an assured fact.
 The promoters of the enterprise are Peter Kirk, A. J. Pigeon and Mir. Boy gers, of San Francisco, These gen tle- men have formed company known as the Empire Smelling company. Mir. Pigeon and Mir. Kirk are nov on the ground at Benson, drawing plans of the plant and ordering machinery,
 The site chosen is the old Webster smelter site, for which was paid S2. 800, of this amount $l 800 was donated by the citizens of Benson and the remain der of the purchase price was forth coming from the Empire Smelling company. The site has been deeded over by Mir. Webster, who was in Ben son this week, and the first work will be commenced on Thursday.
 Mir. Pigeon was seen at Benson on Tuesday by Review reporter; Most of our machinery is ordered from Pitts. burg said that gentleman in speak ing of the plant. "Our plans call for a 500-ton plant, but we will make start with capacity of 100 tons, The es- tImated cost of this plant is $50, GOO. We expect to be in operation within sixty or ninety days and with the com pletion of the Phoenix X l,enson rail. road 3enson will be most advanta- geous point for a custom smelter.

An important mining deal has just been consummated, wherein the Me. Cabe Extension Mining X Milling com pany has acquired the Gopher group of mines near the McCabe Extensions other properties in Big Bug district.

The McCabe Extension people now have control and will re- sume operations on these mines which have always been conceded to be among the best properties in Big Bug district. Phoenix Republican.

ARIZONA PINE VALUABLE.
The Pine Forests of Arizona Must Supply a
 Great Demsnd in the Future.

The Phoenix Enterprise thinks that things are coming Arizona's way It IS well known locally that the white pine from the Arizona forests Is the handsomest, smoothest and easiest worked of any pine iu the world but its value is not known away from home because of cSOrbitant freight rates. Leaving out of consideration the fact that new railroads are being built all over Arizona and that freight rates will soon be reduced, the demand all over Arizona for white piue is sure to make the saw mill men of Arizona rich. Concerning the increasing demand for white pine, Mr. F. ]. Saxe, of Phila. delphia, one of the most prominent lumbermen in America, says:
 White pine lumber is fast disap- bearing. The present sources of sup ply in the Lake superior country and tanada are being drawn upon so heav- fly that in few years no more of the wood will reach this market.
 With these facts apparent, it is not surprising that prices are advancing Taking inch lumber as basis, common stock sells at SIS per ,OOO feet good qualities bring s70 to SSO In the past five years there has been an advance of S6 per l,0o0 feet on lower grades and slo to slj on upper grades. There is less than l00t0, ,o00,o o00 feet of this kind of timber standing in the coun try today. Lumbermen are wondering what wood will take its place when this product, too, is exhausted, which will occur before many years have passed, because uf the greatly in. creased consumption"
 According to thiS there is great probability that in time the genuine Arizona pine will be as valuable as walnut.
 And Arizona has immense pine for e ,ts yet to draw from.

Not Afraid of Death

The Navajo Indians refused to ap.
 proach nearer than fifty yards to an automobile in the Grand Canyon. And yet, says the Los Angeles Express, it is claimed that the red man does not fear death. Williams News.
 This is another proof that it is the unusual that appallS, rather than what is in itself appalling. Those Indians would doubtless have met death un- tiinchingly in score of ways that would have greatly disturbed the com. posture of the automobile rider.
 The incident reminds us of Mir. Standings experience twenty years or more ago. He had collected large party of Cheyenne and Arapal,oe In- dians to take to Carlisle school They had never seen a railroad F.nd were obi ged to take the train at night.
