INDIAN CUNNING.
The Blackfeet Indians Story of the
 Great White Horse.

All Indians who use horses are very fond of horse racing, and not only race their own horses against one another but they race their own against those of other tribes-and used to do this even in the wild era of the buffalo and constant warfare. Even at that time
 friendly tribes and bands joined in the
 two grand buffalo hunts each year.
 and. after the hunting was over. pit ted the fastest horses in the various
 bands one against the other. At one time, not so very long ago, the Black feet had the very fastest horse that any one knew of; the fastest horse of which anyone could tell, or which any one had seen. He was a source of wealth to the tribe, for Indians are
 very fond of betting. and this animal always won everything that was bet against him. You can imagine how proud the BIaclIfeet were of this crea-
 ture. You can also imagine how en-
 vious were the Stoneys. the Crows
 the Sioux and the Creeks, and all the other Indians of the plains.
 Stealing is considered fair between
 tribes and if it can be successfully
 done those savage people think it very
 honorable, even glorious. The Black
 feet, therefore, kept the wonderful an

REV. FIR. GIBBONS RESIGNS
He Will Probably be Succeeded by an
 Eminent Kansas Divine.

It became publicly known yesterday that Rev. A. M. Gibbons, pastor of the First Methodist church of this city , will sever his connection with the church early in September. This is a matter of regret to MT Gibbons as well as to the entire membership of ! the church whose impOrtunities to him to remain have made his going all tine , more difficult. He WI! take a place in the southern California conference | of which he has been a member since his connection with the Arizona mis- sion. The place to which he will go ! has not yet been made public and will , perhaps not be until after the meeting of the conference.
 NIT. Gibbons began his work in Arf- zona eight years ago at Williams. Ev- cry move he made after that was in the nature of a promotion and was made against the protest of the con- gregation he was about to leave. He | has been pastor of the Phoenix church for two years and during that time the church has greatly increased in num- 1 bers. There has also been a healthful growth of interest.
 The change MT. Gibbons is about to make was decided upon after ma ture and prolonged deliberation. The opportunity offered him was af the most fattering character and one which might not be presented again soon. It offers him for one thing wider field of usefulness. though he does not hope to find his work there more congeniaI than his work in Phoe- nix has been. It could not be so for there has never been a closer relation between pastor and people than that existing between MT. Gibbons and the members of the First Methodist church.
 The official board of the church is now casting about for his successor and is now in correspondence with Rev. A. R. MacLean. pastor of the church at Ottawa. Kan. perhaps the most important charge in the South ern Kansas conference. Mr. MacLean is regarded as ono of the strongest and most eloquent preachers of his de- .nomination in the church.
 He came to Phoenix some time ago and looked over the field. He was de- sirous of coming here perhaps on ac- count of the frail health of his wife. At that time an arrangement for his coming could not be made but it is believed now that he will be the next pastor of the First Methodist Episco- pal church of this city. That of course would rest with his bishop and the su- perintendent of missions for Arizona but it is almost certain that the strong expressed wish of the people of the church would be acceded to.

Unless early and correct treatment is applied the patient seldom survives when once the disease is fastened upon her. Lydia E.. Pinl1ham's Vegetable Compound is the most efficient treat ment for kidney troubles of women, and is the only medicine especially prepared for this purpose.
 When a woman is troubled with pain or weight in Joins, backache, frequent, painful or scalding urinatiOn, swelling of limbs or feet, swelling under the eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the region of the kidneys or notices a brick dust sediment in the urine, she should lose no time in commencing treatment with Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound, as it may be the means of saving her life.
 For proof, read what Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Sawyer.
 " I cannot express the terrible suffering l had to endure. A derangement of the female organs developed nervous proStratiOn and a serious kidney trouble. The doctor attended me for year, but kept getting worse until my mind could not live l finally decided to try Lydia E..

 When Prof. Todd left Phoenix at the close of the school year he gave no in timation even to his closest friends that such an important event in his life was scheduled to take place. He said he would for a time visit friends in Wash ington and later might possibly visit at his former home in Iowa.

PRESIDENT KNOX
GIVES FACTS
Says Directors of MOntana-Tou0-
pah Mining Company Differ
Only as 10 Time OF Pay
ing Dividend.

There having been rumors on the
streets of Tonopah this week, to the
effect that the relations between the
directors of the Montana-Tonopah
were strained, a Bononza repre-
sentative called ON President Knox
and asked him as to the truth or
falsity of the statements. That
gentleman responded as follows
THE rumors you speak OF are not
true. There was difference of opin-
ion at the Reno meeting of the board
of directors as to the date when the
company's second dividend should
be declared. All of the directors IA
vor declaring dividends, but four Of
of them, Messrs. Nixon, Badgett,
Dunlap and myself contended that
there should be a reserve left in the
treasury of at least the amount Of
the dividtnd dtclared and that
should be cash In hand and not due
or in transit. Therefore we thought
it best not to neclare the dividend
before July Is, payable August l.
compromise was effected, however,
and the dividend declared Jolly /, but
not to be payable until August
/, by which time, in all probability
the cash requirements will be met
This compromise should have, in
my opinion, obliterated all feeling
that might have existed before the
action was taken"
81 would like to ask another ques-
tion," said the Bonanza representa-
tive. rs it not a fact that proxies
for the annual meeting to be held in
September have already been sought
by some members of the board?"
"Yes," replied Mr.. Knox, but none
of the gentlemen mentioned above
have solicited proxies either for
themselves of in my behalf, nor
will any be solicited with my CON
sent, until notice of the meeting has
been given"
Is 1t not fact that the parties
who are soliciting the proxies are
stating that they are for you for
PRESIDENT" Yes That, however.
is misleading. There should be no
controversy as to what man should
be elected president, though his
policy should cut figure, for
president without the support of the
board would be mere fgurehead
Il desire to state, in Justice to
director c. e. Morris, that he was IN
New York all through the contro-s
Versy and only arrived here this
morning"

Bullfrog District

A large piece of ore spattered all
over with free gold that would run
into the thousands of dollars came
from the Montgomery-shoshone
shaft, at depth of over 100 feet.
They are sacking ore day and night
in the shaft, and have just cut sta

the Beatty Bullfrog Miner.
The National Bank made a new
and rich strike a few Jays ago on its

THE GREAT MONTANA
Statement by Four Directors of One OF
Tonopah's Richest Mines.

the mine had disclosed an amount of
ore in tonnage and value to meet
such quarterly dividends for more
than six years to come and this too
without taking into consideration
anything at all but shipping ore.
The only difference between the
members of the Board was as to this
matter of business policy and it
seemed to those members who fa-
yored quarterly dividends that the
condition Of the mine and the report
of the superintendent not only justi-
fed the declaration of such a policy
but made it a duty of the Board to
the stockholders of the company to
announce such policy. The report
of Mr.. Gillies was not questioned by
any member of the Board but was
considered by all who spoke of the
matter as a conservative estimate of
tonnage and values.
SO far as they are concerned and
so far as they know there is and
should be no occasion for any per-
sonal feeling or personal differences
amongst any members of the Board
and that the only differences which
has ever existed in the official fami
ly of the Montana-Tonopah hav,
been solely as to questions Of bust
ness policy.
