Sale of Lots Attracts Big Crowds
to New Town.

The sale of lots at the new town of
Columbia in the Goldfeld district on
Monday attracted a big crowd, and
resulted in the sale of about thirty
seven lots, most of the buyers being
Tonopah people. The lots sold were
in both the residence and business
sections, and brought from s25 to
$500 each.

In Troubled Africa

Germany Is meeting with some diff
Guilty in its colony in southwest Az
RIGA, one of the native tribes, the
Ovampos, being strongly opposed to
Teuton rule. Sud-west. as the colony
is generally called. is q country of
magnificent distances tits area is
about 100000 square miles,, and much
Of it is practically desert. Along the
whole coast (some 800 miles) and for
about 100 miles inland il is a bowling
wilderness-irst of sand and then of
stones.
Within this belt the country i'm.
proves somewhat, but the continued
drouths are a sore trial to farmers.
The fertile areas are generally dried
up. The country in the southern half
of the colony is covered with scrub,
and wide stretches of undulating coun-
try alternate with high ridges. 1t is
country adapted to guerrilla war
fare.
There are several tribes living in
the terrtory-Herreros, Damaras.
Ovampos, Hottentots and Bushmen.
The Herreros, Damaras and Ovampos
are of the same blood as the Zulus,
Basutos and Cape Kaffirs. The two
former, who live chiefly in the central
zone, have given little trouble to the
Germans. but the Ovampos, who live
In the far north. are still uncon.
quered. and are defiant and insolent
to the Germans. who for several
years past have planned expeditions
which so far have had to be post
poned. The Ovampos, If fully mus
tered, could show $4,000 fighting men,
some of them armed with rifles, and
the expedition which Germany is now
The Mercur miner. [volume] (Mercur, Utah) 1895-1913, 1904-01-06

sending against them will have to be
a strong one.
The Hottentots are of various clans,
scattered about. chiefly in the south
ern half of the colony. They are
usually small and yellow skinned, and
their wool grows in patches. Their
language consists largely of clicks and
gurgles and is not pleasant to listen
to.
They are lazy treacherous, thiev-
ish and untruthful. They work when
they cannot help it, and when there is
a chance OF hunting, off they go. and
leave their employer in the lurch.
They will live where a white man
would starve, and find water where he
would die of thirst. Their cunning is
proverbial, and as trackers Of game
they rank high They have never
been thoroughly thrashed and are not
well disposed toward the Germans.
The pure Bushmen are probably the
lowest type of human being in the
world. Queer little, understood, nerv-
ously grinning blacks, they cannot be
tanned, and now are approaching ex-
tinction. They live now, as they al
ways did. widely scattered. Their
language is practically a succession of
clicks, and as rule their intellects
cannot grasp any number higher than
five. Anything beyond that is "a
great many"
The Bushman has apparently no
moral sense. He will live where even
a Hottentot would starve. and as a
hunter he is hard to beat. He will fol.
low buck until 1t drops from ex-
haustion, and his poisoned arrows are
things to be avoided.

WEDDING RITES OF sAvAeEs.
Very Simple Ceremonies Constitute
Marriage Among Them.


Tn marriage ceremonies of many
savages are of the simplest possible
description. In some places, indeed,
says the Leisure Hour ceremony is
almost entirely dispensed with. There
are no wedding rites in Dahomey, Eek
cept where the king conlers the wife"
the interference OF royalty rendering
it necessary for the bride to present
her future lord with glass of rum.
Brandy-drinking is the principal feat
ure of the ceremony In some Brazil
ian tribes. Amongst the Navajos, 1t is
only required Of the bride and bride
groom to eat maize-pudding from the
same platter In the Hill tribes of
North Aracan, marriage is described
as "a simple contract unaccompanied
by ceremony" and it is an equally in
formal affair in many other tribes. At
Khasia wedding the couple about
to be married merely sit together in
one seat. and receive their friends TO
whom they give a dinner or feast.
They have a rather mixed ceremony
amongst the Gonds and Korkus, con
slsting OF eating together, tying the
garments together, dancing together
round a pole, being halfdrowned to-
gether by a douche of water, and the
interchange of rings" A negress OF

Is what she has just set her heart on.
How many hearts ache and how many
break
With desires that elsewhere do roam:
Those who dolefully cry for the moon in
the sky
Would find more satisfaction at home.
For there's one circumstance which
should greatly enhance
the worth of what one may possess;
That which he despises some one else
highly prizes
And wants, more than words can ex-

Within the gates of Taxa, the Morescan
maiden Zaza,
On terrace in the twilight softly
strummed her light guitar,
While her lover, Abd-el-Alla. a young
Arab, dark and sallow,
Was fighting meath his Sultan with
his troops from Alcazar.
From a Fondak there adjacent a con
valescent patient
Caught her warm and lustrous
glances as she languidly looked
down.
And this young Americana swept the
keys of a piano
AS his look of admiration, with a
smile chased way her frown.

She ceased to sigh or bother as the
strains of "Hiawatha"
Came in ripping repetition through
the perfume-ladened air.
And forgot her bold defender, who
was fighting the Pretender,
While her fancy rewove warp and
wool of romance then and there.
But as the day was dying, in wild
haste the news came flying
OF Abd-el-Alla having fallen, and
now the rumor says,

tallest trees, where all manner of birds
are swimming, flying and singing, and
the songs that they sing "are prettier

Notwithstanding the attractions
here and my desire to take them in,

time manipulating in art and decora-

river at the rich mems fishing and

resume my work in that line. | expect
my experience here to be beneficial in
