THE WOOL BUYERS
Have Made the Navajo Blanket Very
 Scarce Article.

Numerous articles have beer writer lately about the growing scarcity of Navajo blankets. This is particularly true in the east where they have been on sale for several years. In many cities they, that is the genuine Nava- jo blanket can no longer be obtained at all. It has been explained that the h. dians of the reservation tempted by the high price of wool sold nearly all' of it to buyers, so that only in remote corners of the reservation have blank cts been manufactured within the last year.
 great many persons are calling al Balke's Big Curio store, having been commissioned by friends in the east to see if blankets can be obtained here. They say that they can find none where they used to be kept Mr. Bake was fortunate last summer in buying a large stock of the blankets in an out of the way corner of the Navajo reservation to which the wool buyers had not penetrated and where the wool clip had been made up into the genu- inc, old fashioned kind of blankets like the ancestors of the present Indians used to make. These blankets were
 
 being sold very low.
 A great variety of articles made or petrified wood are being shown at the Big Curio store. The average obser- yer does not know that there are many kinds of petrified wood of variegated colors depending upon the surround ing chemical agents. There is green and white, the black and white and the more common wood in which brown predominates. These woods have been made up into all sorts of fancy and useful articles There are also the gold stone articles. The gold stone is popularly supposed to be so- of its glittering particles to gold. As a matter of fact they are gold but the stone Is so refractory and the particles so small that no way has ever been found to get them out.
 Mention should be made of the amber articles, that is genuine amber. Also of the genuine turquoise beads. An other very attractive thing and very appropriate gift is the Mexican hand made silk stawl which comes in a variety of cOlors.
 There is something at the Big Curlo never before seen in this part of the country-Moki basket work. This comes in the shape of baskets and placques. The placques are quite orna- mental. Their use among the Indians is to support their idols called the

 Food supplies, however, and the ob- taining of them is ore of the problems that confront Sonor3. The last years wheat crop was a total failure and an effort is being made to have the Mex ican government remove the tariff re- gently imposed on American wheat.

LOOKING FOR A LION
 A BOY SHOT HIMSELF
Harry 5. Bennett Will be the Loser
 of Two Toes.

Harry $. Bennett, the 1S-year-oId son of II. j. Bennett, VII probably lose the first ana second toe of his right foot as the result of an occidental shot at the Buffalo mine, of which his faher is the general manager. The shooting occurred one day last week. The boy had gone from the camp to the nearest letter box to mail some let- ters. For several days @ more than usually bold mountain lion had been seen about the camp and it was fear cd that he would not hesitate to at tack man if he found him at a safe distance from camp. The young man ther efore took a Winchester rifle with him on the errand. When one is go- ing to use a rifle on a mountain lion he don't want to spend much time in unlinbering it. This gun was there fore carried at full cock.
 When young Bennett reached the box he laid the rifle on the ground and when he picked it up it was discharg- ed. the ball going between the first and second toe of the right foot, shat tering the bones oc both.
 His father brought him to the city at orce and while here he employed as many idle miners as he could find about town to 50 to work on the Buff falo and Arizona, which is showing more and more wealth every day.

AN IOWA OPINION
Of the Mixing up of Arizona and New
 EeXico.

H. NJ. Belvel, the editor of a pros porous weekly paper in Polk county. Iowa, and who has at various times figured prominently in Iowa politics, has for several years followed the progress Arizona mas made. At pres ent he is not interested in a financial way in this territory, but he has on several occasions seriously considered the advis3bility of taking up property in this valley. Evidently he has no desire to have Arizona lose it's iden- tity, in view of his possible locating here, for n recent issue of his pa per he had the following to say regard ing the presidents attitude on the statehOod question::
 "Ihe president advises the admis- sion of Oklahoma and Indian Terri tory as one state and New Mexico and Arizona as another. The first two named would probably accept such an arrangement as the best that could be secured; but New Mexico and Arizona would never be satisfied to be joined together. There is no reason in the proposition. The rec ommendation is unworthy of the presi- dmt, who advocates square deal"

MINES OF MEXICO
A Single District Ont of Which Great
 Wealth Is Pouring.

J. E. Tonlinsoa accompanied by his son, El. L. Tomlinsol, passed through the city yesterday en route from their mining property in Cananea to Pres colt, where they will visit friends anI relatives until after the holidays. Mr. TomlinsOn, ST. has for several years past been operating in northern Mex- icO, his property being the Swansea lOCate1 about seventy miles south of Cananea in the Bacuachi district His company is preparing, at an ny date, to install q stamping, cyarfCing and concentrating plant of 150 tons caEac- ity to be used in the treatment Of it's ore. Of necessity it will take several months to make the installation. the transportation problem being a great drawback in making time with the work. At present they freight from Ysabel, a station on the NE-ozari road, and about forty miles from the mine.
 The principal mine in the district and the one aecording to Mr. Tomlin- son which has by the showing made in sured the districts future is the Plea cho, managed by James Douglas, and the property of the Phelps Dodge company. In the deepest wOr kings of the tunnel, run in now a distance of

 Another district that is rapidly com ing to the front as one of the pro- ducing districts of Sonora is the one located in the Sierra Azuls end Sierra Manzanels. At present there are five shipping mines, all producing copper. silver and gold. One of the properties located in the district is the Alcatran which ships by way of Cananea it's ore to Fl PasO. A. T. Haloran of San Francisco, is associated with local cap ital in the ownership of the property. For some time past the shipments have been two cars a week of $1Sj ore.
 From the San Bernardino, weekly shipments are made, the product being purchased by the Greene company and handled at Cananaa. The values aver age 200 ounces of silver and 15 pe~ cent copper to the ton. Not far distant from the San BcrnarCino is located the Gro MaYimO, the property of Detroit capitalists. At present some 120 men are at work taking out the god ore and soon a pant of forty stamps will be installed with 2OO ton capacity. Pumping machinery will also have to he used and will be rut il at the sctne time the mill 3s erected. J. P. Casey, 1 the superintendent of the company, is optimistic of the future of tho mine

TOO GREAT A SHOCK.

The parson was a-preachin'-
 Twas a sermon good and strong He said that married people
 Didn't try to get along. He said for love around the house
 Some folks had little use. And were perfectly contented
 If they only kept truce. He said the evil Of divorce
 Would disappear he knew If men would only spark their wives
 The way they used 10 GO. Now, Hiram sat and listened
 An he thought about Maria And somewhere round his collar
 Hiram starred to perspire. He knew if Ee should lose her
 He could never fill her place; Yet he couldn't just remember When he last had Eisse1 her face. He loved her better every year
 She'd shared his cares and joys, And wasn't she the mother
 or his grown-up girls and boys? Now Hiram he felt sorry
 He repented right away He was going to do better ..
 He'd begin that very day. At home he found her standing
 At the open kitchen door His dear old wife whose life on eartl Had numbered just three score. So he put his arms around her

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
 MAYBE A FREE TICKET
Some one Will be the Lucky Retip-
 tent Today.

It will be known today what the name of the new morning train on the S. F. P. 6, P will be and who will get the free ticket promised for the name. According to the following from the JournalMiner, this christening project has made a great deal of work for the clerical force Of the company.
 General Passenger Agent Jones will have no lack of material from which to select a name for his new nocturnal train, for up to the close of office hours last night he was in receipt of 1096 suggestions. There will probably be a hundred or more names filed by tonight as this is the last day of the competition.
 Until this scheme started he had no idea how many people there were who are anxious to take a free trip east to see the home folks. The bulk of the letters are from Phoenix and Prescott but many suggestions have been re- ceived from Flagstaff, Williams, Tue son, Tombstone, Bisbee and other ter ritorial points. One man telegraphed his suggestion for a name, and another party from a mining camp telephoned in yesterday stating that he was afraid lest his letter would not be received in time, as the snow had caused the missive to lay in the postoffice for four days.
 So much interest has this christen- ing scheme created that is is proving to be the best advertisement that the local division of the Santa Fe ever had. In the stores. on the streets, in the homes, it is the question of the hour. one business man went to the Santa Fe office and argued for nearly an hour with Mir. Jones over the merits of the name he suggested. Other people in writing are so convinced that they have the prize winner that they kindly in form MT. Jones in advance of the city to which they desire the ticket issued.
 More people are trying to get out of Phoenix on the free trip plan than from any other place. In a letter from a well known man connected with a newspaper, he suggests the Valley Flyer" as a name, and submits a car toon of himself with this pathetic ap- peal: "A sketch may impress upon you the importance of my getting d free ticket out of Phoenix at an early date"
 The writer pictures himself sitting on soaobox. with his bare knees breaking out of his trousers, while a look of unspeakable woe marks his features. In the rear is bill collector with a handful of unpaid accounts, while the Phoenician depicts himself as engaged in writing the following resume of the "cost per month of Iiv- ing in Phoenix:"

Public School Notes.

Public School Notes.
The amount OF stale school moneys
to be apportiOned in July will be
about $50, 600 more than last year.
The per capita will be about 81. IS this
year.
1t is encouraging to note that most
cities, towns and school districts are
employing teachers at increased
salaries.
Kentucky is agitating the question
of establishing a system Of state
normal schools. State Supt. Caring
ton recently attended the Kentucky
State Teachers Association and ex-
planned to them the Missouri system
than which be thinks there Is none
better.
The State Department of Education
will shortly revise the state course of
study. The old course was based on
the adopted books. Since there will
not be state uniformity Of text. books,
the course Of study will be arranged so
as to adjust itself to any good text.
In the recent examinations held by
the State Superintendent, 55 different
persons wrote. There were 269
separate papers. About half of these
were graded above passing, AS a
result, eleven certificates were issued.
Many did not attempt to finish the
examination.
We may expect much larger attend
ance on the high schools the coming
year. The number of pupils gradual.
ing from the grades is fifty per cent
larger than last year. The best test OF
the efficiency of any school is the
percentage Of its graduates entering
schools of higher grade.
The state institutions are maintain
ing summer schools for teachers as
usual this year. They are fuller than
ever. There are nearly 900 al
W%arrensburg, 400 at Kirksville, $50 at
Cape Girardeau and 800 at C)lt mbia.
All approved schools have large
attendance also,
1t is a good suggestion that the
commissions recently appointed tC
locate the two new normal schools
make as one of the conditions Of
locating a requirement that the public
schools of the places be offered fol
model and training school purposes
The towns or cities securing the loca,
ton should pledge the state to main.
tam the public schools on a mode
basis for these purposes.
There have been quite a few changes
in the superintendencies OF some OF thu
smaller city schools of the state. A
few good superintendent are retiring
and engaging in other business. AS
rule, the schools will not suffer thereby
for many very able young men ar,
promoted to positions of greater use

be equal to the situations and condI
tons will in nearly every instance b,
