INDIAN RELICS ARE B. GUS.
Factories in Denver ard Other West.
ern Cities.

One industry that is gradually dy-
ing out in the West is the manufacture
Of Indian relics among the Indians.
At Denver and various other cities
girls and men are employed the year
round at turning out what are sold for
genuine Indian relics, but they are
spurious in more ways than one. The
competition of these pale-face factories
is responsible in part for the decadence
of the industry among the Indians.
One interesting sight on the reserva-
ton has been the manufacture of In
riors have put in several months in
making these weapons. Most of them
are made out of the hardest kind Of
quartz and granite. An Indian takes
suitable piece of rock and heats it
white hot. Then taking it opt he pours,
drop by drop. the contents of a gourd
of ice-cold water on it. This causes the
rock to chip off a piece at a time until it
has reached the required shape. 1t is
then handed over to a squaw. who rubs
it on sandstone until it is polished to the
required standard.
The making of Indian baskets is an
other decaying industry. The baskets
are getting scarcer every year as the
old squaws die off. The young ones,
like their pale-face sisters. object to
work of so tedious character and de-
cline to do it. The baskets are made
fir m II sort of willow which the wo-
men wind in a coil as one would rope.
and they keep building it up and mold
ing it into shape until they get the re-
quired height. Then they take differ
ent kinds of roots in natural cOlOrs and
weave them into the outside of the bas-
kets. They are mark of genuineness,
these natural roots, and artificial col
oring is the hallmark of the spurious
kind.
While most of these curios are sold
in Western stores to Eastern tender
feet. there are many fine collections of
them in the West. An engineer run
ming OH the Elkhorn out Of Chadron,
Neb, has one Of the finest collections in
the United States belonging to private
individual. He has refused $1,000 for
it. 1t is the slow accumulation of many
wears.

MARITIME SHEEP RANCHES.
Use to Which the Rocky Islands OF

Use to Which the Rocky Islands Oh
Maine Coast Are Put.
When an island Off the Maine coast
Is good for nothing else it Is turned
into maritime sheep ranch, and much
money is made in that way, men from
other States having invested large
sums in the purchase Of islands and
stock. The sheep are turned loose and
left to get living as best they can.
The islands appear barren, but the
sheep get along very well, and are in
with boats to take them off for slaugh.
ter in the fall. On some of the islands
there Is no water whatever, but the
sheep get what moisture they need
from the heavy dews, and where grass
is scrubby and scarce the animals cul.
tivate fondness for various kinds of
seaweeds, which diet is said to give an
excellent flavor to the mutton.
A few years ago much complaint was
made by well meaning but poorly in
formed persons Of the supposed cruel
ty of leaving sheep to take care Of
themselves, without shelter, on these
barren, wind-swept isles, but 1t has
been demonstrated that the sheep suf-
fer no hardship whatever or they would
not thrive as they do. 1t Is related by
one man who had several hundreds Of
sheep on Metinic island that he built,
at considerable expense, warm shell
ter for them, because his wife was con-
stantly expressing the fear that the
poor sheep would freeze to death on
cold nights. The kindly sheep breeder
found that not a single one Of the ami
mails had taken advantage of the shell
ter provided in one of the coolest win
tiers that ever blew on the coast Of
Maine. Sheep will huddle together
where they like and cannot be induced
to go into the sheds built for them on
several of the islands.
In the fall, says the New York Trib-
une, the island ranchers go off in do
ries and bring some of the latest of
the sheep ashore to market, tying their
legs together and tossing them into the
boats like SO many bundles. and at the
same time new stock Is carried to the
islands. In the spring a trip is made
to get the lambs and the stock is again
replenished. The expense Of sheep
raising on the islands is small and the
profits are CORRESPONDENCE large.
