THAT was about the class of men the
miners are, and in all seriousness ! do
not believe that 1000 of them-Mexicans.
Italians and half-breeds-could have taken
possession of the mines and diSarmed the
fifteen Americans there. The miners ale
not that kind of crowd and would have
tough old time In getting next to the
men who l believe still there. The
miners are a treacherouS lot, and would az
soon kill one of the white men or one OF
their own number as not, If they could
strike him in the back or get at him some
where in the dark, but they have no nerve
and no courage to speak of. While / was
in Morenci there was bar room brawl in
which two nervy men kept about fifty
miners at bay with a billiard cue. and.
later, returned to the place armed and
stampeded about 800 armed miners
Other Mining Companies.
There several mining concerns in
the vicinity of Morenci. The Detroit Cop
per Company controls the works at Mo
renci, and there smelters at Clifton,
known as the Clifton smelters The Arizo-
ma Mining Company has mines in the Nc
Mullen district also, near Morenci The
work of the miners is sometimes done by
contract system. The contractor engages
with the mining company to clear out a GER
tain chamber or lead at so much per cubic
yard The contractor puts his workers
into the mine then and has the lead cleared
out in short time. / have known contract
ors to make as much as $500 or $500 per
month at this work and their miners would
be well paid, too
LAS L said before I do not understand
how trouble could arise under conditions
which, l believe, exist now just as they
We're when | was in Morenci.'

canvas. The Smelter and the outbuildings
of the company were of wood, however,
and there was one building made of stone

was embrasured and had steel-barred Win

Character of the Ore.
1.-The ore taken from the mines was
manganese blue and brilliant red. The
colors were simply beautiful, and the piles
of quartz and rock formed most wonder
full combination of all the hues one could
imagine. Sometimes we would get hold OF
piece of rock which when broken open
would be found to contain crystals OF the
most beautiful shape and color.
1.-The miners were all Mexicans, as / said
before, there being about 500 of them. The
manner in which they were treated by their
employers was simply marvellous, consider
ing the character of the men and their
treacherous nature. They were worked in
three eight-hour shifts and all got good
pay At the time ! was associated with the
company there were about fifteen Ameri-
cans there, and they were all of the from
tier type. There was one man l remembered
particularly. He called himself John Smith
and was deputy sheriff. He worked in the
mines as boss of a level and was the
nerviest man / ever saw. He walked into
a tunnel after a miner who had murdered
his wife and children one day, the miner
being armed with a Winchester rifle, ana
brought the fellow out by the collar. When
they appeared near the opening Smith was
beating his prisoner over the head with

Sifans Of Thibet.
From Golfers Weekly.

From Golfers Weekly.
The worship of ancestors is curiously car
ried on among all tribes. Twice a year
their bones are dug up and religiously
washed, 1t being ludicrous in the extreme
to watch the preternatural gravity with
which the natives go about this stupendous
operation, carrying huge pots of water to
tie open graves and relyiously scrubbing
the bones When 1 first saw this operation
1t struck me as being remarkably funny,
but to the natives themselves 1t is an In
tensely solemn and sacred ceremony. AS
the possession of a large ''bonery'' gives to
the fortunate proprietor great power in the
tribe these bones are seized upon for debt
or on the Inauguration of a feud, the per-
sons or family so deprived of their sacred
relics being Stunned by the others until
the bones shall have been redeemed
One of the most remarkable OF all the
strange myths believed in by this curious
people is one pertaining to the sun. moon
and stars. The sun is believed to be an i'm
mense ball of yak meat and fat wherein
the spirits of departed ancestors are sup
posed to feast, the light being caused by it's
heated condition. The stars are portions Of
this immense feast. which. dropping to the
earth. give birth to animals for the susie
nance of suffering humanity. The moon
they conceive to be less ball Of similar
texture. In use while the larger one Is be-
ing repleniShed for the morrow the non
appearance of the sun or moon on cloudy
or stormy days being accounted for by
the fact that the deities are undergoing q
period of fasting and religious abnegation.
The parched and desert condition of ster-
lie regions is ascribed to the fact that
many thousand years ago this immense ball
slipped from the hands of its keepers. and,
descending too near the earth, scorched
those parts with which 1t came in contact
before il could be removed.

a member of the District National Guard.
While employed by the copper company in
Arizona he took occasion TO study carefully
the Mexican miners employed at the place,
and his estimate of their character and
courage is not complimentary to them.
"Of course I cannot say what the trouble
In the mines is. at present" he said yester-
day. in discussing the matter, land can
not understand how there could be much
trouble When I was in the service of the
Detroit Copper Company the employees of
the company could not expect handsomer
treatment. The men in the Office and in the
mines were getting far better pay than they
would have received in the service of the
government and the latter service was
held at a higher price than was>almost any
thing else out there The miners received
50 per day as beginning. and good man
could make anywhere from 81 to 80 per day.
The miners. 1t must be understood, were all
Mexicans. There were some Italians there
at the time was employed there, but most
of those there now have come since left.
The Town Of Morenci.
Morenci is situated in the eastern part OF
Arizona, in the vicinity Of McMullen Peak,
about seventy-eight or eighty miles from
Lordsburg. N NJ To reach Morenci one
takes the one daily train on the Arizona
land New Mexico railway running out OF
Lordsburg and in due course of time ar
rfyes at Clifton Ariz., after being pushed
and joggled and shaken for the distance of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-06-16

seventy-two miles. From Clifton there are
two modes of transportation to Morenci.
You can take the stage and pay dollar
for the ten-mile ride over the toughest trail
you ever saw, or you can get into one or
the ore cars on the eighteen-nch gauge ore
railroad and risk your head going through
the tunnels, for nothing. The best way is
to take the ore car. They have no other
cars on this road, and after one learns
enough to keep ones head below the top
of the car, it is perfectly safe.
THE Morenci that l saw and the Mo-
renci of today may be slightly different,
but l do not think SO. At that time the
place consisted of a collection of wooden
and canvas buildings clustered about the
stamping machine and smelter, which were
both in one building, and which constitute
probably the mill referred to in the news
paper dispatches of the recent trouble there.
When the town was built up lumber was
10 cents per foot-in fact, it was so when
was there, and remained so all the time l
remained. and may be the same price now.
At such a figure entire house of wood
was out of the question, SO the workmen
built the floors of their dwellings and about
three feet of the house from the floor OF
boards covering the remainder with heavy

WHERE WALKING IS WORK.
In Constantinople It is a Fierce and
Active Struggle

From Harper's Magazine.
To walk in Constantinople is like
fierce and active struggle. One should
look at once before, behind and under
meath ones feet; before, behind and I'M
gust is always threatening. l never walk
ed up the steep road which leads from the
bridge to Pera without the feeling that
l was fighting my way through hostile
city. A horn blows furiously and, a black
man runs UP the hill, clearing the way
before the dashing and struggling horses
of the tram. At the same moment
cab drives at full speed down the hill, and
the horses set their feet on the pavement.
In front of you man balances slices of
offal on q long pole across his shoulder:
they dangle before and behind; he swings
cheerfully with his burden through the
crowd
Kurd, STOPPING under a weight higher
than himself, follows, step by step, behind
you. A dog with a red wound behind his
ear and a long strip of NANCY skin on his
ba ok lies asleep in the middle of the pave
ment. You step into the midst of the dogs
and the hamals; as you stand aside for
moment beggar with a handless arm
rounded into a stump, a woman with her
face eaten away in the cavity of the hood
which she draws back before you, appears
suddenly filling what had seemed the ollly
aliey of escape. The sun soaks down INTO
the narrow street; the smell of mud rises
IN into your nostrils. mingled with those
unknown smells which, in Constantinople.
seem to ooze upward out of the ground and
steam outward from every door and win
dow and pour out of every alley and rise
like cloud out of the breath and sweat
and foulness of the people.

The Incorporation Sale OF Pianos now being con.
Quoted by the F. G. Smith Piano Company at 1925
Pennsylvania avenue, is probably the only sale OF
the kind held in the history of the piano
business in Washington. This company has pur.
chased the entire local business Of the Bradbury
Piano Company at the above address, and the
whole stock Of pianos is being sacrificed at % pei
cent 40 per cent and so per cent reductions. The
sale was naugurated Monday morning, and the en-
ployes of this well-known piano firm have been
continuously busy ever since. No piano sale evei
held in Washington has attracted such wide
spread attention-and this Is doubt owing to the
unusual and unprecedented sacrifices that being
made the highest class instruments.
Every and second hand piano contained in
the Bradbury Building has been tagged and marked
with the Incorporation sale price. well the
original price, that the purchasers may ex
actly how much they are saving on each instru
ment.
In looking through the ware rooms yesterday the
writer observed many Upright Pianos marked as
low S95, S125 and $3.50. Square Pianos were tC
be had at SO, $3.50, SIS and $50. A number OF
second hand Organs contained on one Of the upper
floors were priced at So, $40, S15, &c. He was
secured payment Of small deposit. The bal
ance could be paid at the convenience Of the pur
chaser. The instrument would be delivered free
OF charge now or at any time desired.
Many of the above pianos and organs cost orig
inaly two or three times the prices now marked
them.
Any contemplating buying a piano or an or
gan is advised to attend this sale soon pos
sible before the best Instruments sold; for
