RELIGION IN SIAM.
Belief of the Laos People the Native
Religion.

The Rev. w. c. Dodd, who is sta
toned as missionary in the Laos
country, north Of Siam, under the Pres
byterian foreign board. has sent to
friends in this country n report of an
interview he recently had with Kun
Tum native chief at the head of eight
villages. Kun Tum talks of the native
religion, and says that his people do
not worship ghosts and spirits, rs do
many of the Siamcse, but that they be-
lieve in one God. who inhabits the
ethereal eXpanse. He is creator of all,
including the human race. According
to this religion the original man and
woman had three sons. The oldest was
ancestor Of the Asiatic people The
second took to wife Il monkey and be-
came ancestor of the white race, which
is consequently active. energetic and
cunning. too much for their Other
brethren. The youngest son was the
ancestor of the black race.
All the brothers originally worshiped
God and had a book from him. Tn"
belief is that the white brother and
away from the others. taking the book
with them. Other writings were re-
vealed to those who remained, but
most of the reveationes have been de-
stroyed. TO the people of Kun Tum
was given two great pillars Of stone.
These they were instructed to protect
and preserve. They were also instruct
ed to keep alien people out of their
country. but were told In revelation
to submit to the British The stone
pillars are to be guarded until God ap-
pears in human form. This they eX-

gend. told thus briefly. fits well with
the return of the white race with n
book, the Bible, and this native chief
says he and many others wait to see
how it shall fare with those who have
become Christians in order that they
may judge whether the religion with
a book is really their prlmeval religion
and the book the one taken from them
so long ago.

Copper Gity Happenings Of Interest Building
ANOTHER RICH STRIKE
 OF SILVER ORE

Douglas, Ariz., Sept. Especial )-
 What is thought to be the richest silver strike ever made in the state of Sonora occurred two weeks ago, when some prospectors, whose names are unknown here, struck an enor nous ore body bearing 500 ounces when but fifty feet from the surface. The prospect is at a point twenty-five miles east of NacOzari, in the Nogal de Carisas district, where there are already a number of paying mines, but nothing in comparison with the new strike.
 The news of the discovery of the rich ore was brought to town yester- day by E. C. York. who has just re turned from NacOzari. Mir. York de- clares that there is the greatest eX- citement in the country. men riding day and night to reach Moctezuma to denounce property, and many of the prospectOrs are outfitting at NacOzari for a trip to the silver fields.
 The Nogal de Carisas mining dis trict has long been known to be rich in silver. In this district, and not far from the new mine, is located the Ia bitachita mine, owned by Fyke & Wick Roy, from which there was re- gently taken one car of ore that net ted it's owners s7OOO, and which is so rich that strangers are not allowed in the mine. The district also contains the famous San Ignacia mine, owned by the BartOlina brothers. the hold iDgs of Frank Watts, the Enluagua mine, belonging to W. R. Ramsdell, and the San Higninio the property of H E. Dugan and E. H. Bachman.
 All of these mines have given as says showing remarkable richness, the Tabitachita mine showing as high as 4000 ounces of silver in some as says, and therefore the strike is not as surprising as though made in a strange field.
 The ore which is taken from the new strike is said to resemble that from the Fl Tigre to a great extent, and the workings indicate that the famous bone of contention will be completely overshadowed in richness
 There can be no doubt of the truth of this report, according to MT. York for the excitement in NacOzari and Moctezuma is such as to leave nc room for question.

 While MT and Mrs. w. A. Lucas were asleep in a tent in their yard last night the tent caught fire, and in saving their baby Mrs. Lucas was badly burned.
