Residents of the Pecos valley in New
Mexico are excited by the discovery
that underlying more than 100000
acres Of desert land Is apparently an
lnexhaustible supply OF water. The
fame Of the region has spread through
out the country, and even to portions
OF Europe. The water gushes from
the ground wherever borings are made
and pours over a thirsty land, trans
forming 1t into a garden Of almost re-
markable fertility.

Conry, the clerk. the motion being some-
thing of a habit with both.
Denny casually remarked that perhaps
the gentleman was off his beat and
thought the office was the back kitchen

said Joe. Last night I had room 1914

He then detailed a long line Of per-

gathered, and told Of his campaign with
Coxeys army. He also admitted that, he
spoke eight languages, including "hog-
attn and profane," and that he was an

with bit of the soldier of fortune.

RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT
 ARRESTS kRUSTALEFF
LEUPP SPEAKS UP
 FOR THE INDIANS
COMM SsIoNER OF INDIAN AZ FAIRS FAvoRS PRESERVING IN DIAN MUSIC AND ESTABLISH ING REFORM SCHOOL.

Washington. December 1O-The neces- city for preserving Indian music the es- tablshment of an Indian reform school and the erection of sanitarium for ln- dians suffering from tuberculosis, are new features of the annual report of the com missioner of Indian affairs Francis E. Leupp.
 After discussing the Indian question generally, the commissioner says that in pursuance of the general idea of saving instead of crushing what is genuinely characteristic in the Indian, steps have been taken by him for the preservation by the schools of what is best in Indian music. The last thing that ought to be done with the youth of any people whom the government is trying to indoctrinate with notions of self respect he says is to teach them to be ashamed of thei ancestry. The Indian schools offer jus now. he added, the best opportunity to retrieve past errors on account Of va riety of tribal clements assembled there
 The children should be instructed in the music of their race side by side with ours he says, and with that end in view he has made an experimental start by the appointment of a Supervisor of native rmusic. The idea, he declares, is spreading most notably.
 Commissioner Leupp believes that the best way to handle pupils whom the teachers find unmanageable is to put them in a reform school for Indians only. The grouping together of the well-meaning and the vicious he declares to be unwise. He believes also much good can be made in the checking of tuberculosis among Indians, where 1t exists to an alarming extent, by the erection somewhere in the southwest of an Indian sanitarium. This sanitarum. the commissioner suggests, should be in itself school infected with the disease, which he says would Insure to the unfortunates special care and chance for recuperation IS well as all the schooling needed to fit them for the serious business of life. This would ob- viate their being sent to serve as cen ters of infection.
 Vast interest is the subject of the pur- chasing of supplies for the Indians, par ticularly drugs. and of the quality ot the goods received Is noted by the commits sioner. No goods have been accepted, the commissioner states without first having been passed on by men expert In their es- pecial line. The spoliation of prehistoric ruins by relic hunters and others Is par ticularly referred to- and the commission CT quotes from a former letter of instruc- tions 10 Indian agents warning them that unless positive legislation shall be se- cured in protection, everything practicable must be done to prevent these depreda- tions.
 The sectarian contract school question is considered at great length.

 In his letter to Corbett. Mccoy says he has posted 5000 with local newspaper as a guarantee of good faith. To issue for nal challenge for a prize fight is against the laws of New York state so the Me Coy letter does not deal with any of the details of the proposed contest, but sim ply seeks correspondence on the subject
 Mccoy says he is induced to enter the ring again only because of the unsatis- factory termination of his former fight with Corbett which he admits left cloud on his record as a pugilist, and because believes he Is the better boxer of the two. He declared that under no consideration will he take on match with any other. man than Corbett.
 James J. Corbett when asked tonight concerning the challenge, said:
