Refunding Pima County Bonds.

Phoenix, Mar. 13.-Tbe governor
and auditor today funded the bonded
Indebtedness of Pima county, issuing
territorial funding bonds bearing per
cent. interest and maturing in fifty
years, with n redemption privilege of
twenty years.
The bonds were exchanged for Pima
county ! per cent. bonds issued twenty
years ago, and in proportions equal to
the original issue of $50, 900, added to
which is the : per cent. interest COM
puted for twenty years.
In reaching the compromise the
bondholdcrs concede point in agree
ing to the interest represented only by
the coupons, and the administration
has thus saved to Arizona compound
interest amounting to 800, 600.
The adjustment is REPUTATION of
the charge brought against the credit
Of the territory recently by Bird :.
Coler, who attempted to make an is
sue out Of the Pima county bond fraud
in the senatorial statehood fight.
The administration advises concerted
action looking to congressional relief,
pointing out that congress incurred
an obligation in validating the bonds
held by the supreme court to he
worthless.
The territory also sold upon bid to
Cincinnati bankers twenty-seven fifty
year 10000 bonds bearing per cent
and redeemable in twenty years They
commanded a 1903 premium.

says the Arapahoe Bee. They seemed
70 have lived more or less IN the same
localities, moving from time 70 time
from the same general causes. Their
language is essentially different, 50
they do not understand each other,
except as they have learned each
others language. This, in many cases.
they have done, largely through the
sign language. which Is common 10
western Indians. These two tribes
have largely intermarTied. These in
termarriages have existed for many
years. There are many cases Of men
30 years old and more, speaking both
languages, who can say that they are
half Cheyenne and half Arapahoe.
Like the Cheyennes, the Arapahoes
have been divided, a portion OF the
Arapahoes now being on a reserva-
ton In Wyoming, while others assOci-
ated with the Cheyennes are now in
Oklahoma. The Arapahoes are more
submissive 70 the white mans rule
and obey more readily the government
orders. Under wise and benehcenl
management on the part Of the white
man they are capable Of being made
an industrious and self-supporting
people. They are, in their way, q re-
hgious people. The Arapahoss have

country's strife. Wherever most needed,
she was found laboring, and after peace
was declared, still she toiled on for many
months, Identifying and marking the
graves Of the thousands Of union men
who had died at Andersonville and
searching for the missing men from the
north. The following two years were
spent in giving lectures on her war ex-
periences.
But the strain upon her had been
great and II was necessary to give heed
to the claims Of her own delicate organi-

waters and repaired TO Switzerland to
take her mueh-needed rest While
abroad she continued her charitable
