who will produce the celet ated Apa-
che baskets at the Ha ~ curio
ooms
Mr.. Apache brought the basket wea-
rs from the San Carlos reservation
as a courtesy to Mr.. Fred Havey, and
rs efforts in obtaining these skilled
yeavers is highly appreciated by those
in charge of the curio system. He
had quite an adventurous trip from the
reservation, having to contend with
the snow and extreme cold weather.
The Apache weavers are very prim-
tive in their customs and add much to
the attractlveness of the curio rooms.
Manager Switzer has now In his
charge twenty industrial Indians. all Of
whom are skilled in their respective
lines. Among the foremast may be
considered Joseppa, the finest Poma
basket weaver in the world and Pla-
tero, the oldest and best silversmith
in existence. All the others are art
lists In their respective trades.
Antonio Apache, who was with the
Field Columbian museum of Chicago
for three years and has visited all the
noted museums of the country, spoke
in the highest terms of the valuable
and rare collection of curios and In
dian productions on exhibition at the
curio rooms. The new departure in
the way of having the Indian wares
produced where the tourist and public
are afforded the opportunity to wit
ness the work in its different stages
was to him a most unique and pro-
gressive idea. He will remain at the
curo rooms as a visitor for some time.
Mr. Apaches pleasing and approach
able manner never fails to win the
highest admiration OF those whom he
meets and conyerses with.
Mr. Apache is highly educated and
at present is promoting some import
ant enterprises in Arizona
