financial way perhaps will be fraught , with a great deal of good for all the aboriginal tribes of Arizona as well as the rest of the western hemisphere
 Mir. Apache has had a varied eXper fence, has lived all over the United
 States and has travelled quite exten-
 sively in other countries on this con-
 tinent His home has been in the
 east most of the time for many years
 past. and for long time in New York
 City where he was active in nearly ev
 erything from politics to business in
 vestment and some labors of a socioi-
 ogical nature. He says he has had such a diversity of occupations dur
 ing his career that he does not care to go into details. they are so numer ous. and he believes not interesting or entertaining to others. He says it has not all been, a path of roses. He had his ups and downs and has done a great deal of hard work and some that was not SO hard. All that he has he has acquired by making good" in whatever project he set out upon. just as every successful man has to do and he does not look upon his achieve ments as anything wonderful. merely the success that attends hard work and a clear head.
 His interests are quite numerous and include some mining enterprises though they are at the present time rather subordinated to other activities. He has travelled in Alaska. principally in the interior in the region of which Dawson City is the center. and in con- nectiOn with others. owns some claims there he hopes some day will be de- velOped and proven valuable. He, also has some mining interests in Mexic1 and has a few claims in Arizona. He came here partly to see the latter and being not a great distance from Phoe- nix he decided to visit the capital and look after a detail of his present more important work. He expects to re man h~ro until Tuesday night, then return to his present nome in Los An geles
 The work referred to is a project in which he is associated with H. E. Huntington. the street railway mag nate of Southern California, and it is of this he talks most freely. It is an enterprise designed primarily to be re- munerative in itself and at the same time add one more attraction to the many places of interest in the vicinity of Los Angeles. to which the Hunting ton lines run. It is in reality a per manent industrial exhibit of the works of aboriginal tribes in all parts of North and South America and is to bS' called Indian Crafts" The compaIy. which was not really formed yntil $40.000 had been expended in pyelim- aries and the buying of some /stock. owns fifteen acres near Eastlake park in Los Angeles, has erected some suit able buildings and expects to con- strcut others. and is installing typical groups of families of oboEgines Of various tribes, together with the ma terials and facilities for employment in their respective native crafts. They will also be required to live in their tribal ways and conduct thenselves in every respect as though the ey were on their native soil To illustrate, d family of Maricopa Indiansl may be engaged for a stated period to reside there in their native wickups and de- vote themselves to the making of pot tery. A Pima family may be secured for basket weaving. another from some other section for the making of im- plements of war. bows, arrows, etc. or whatever the rank and file of the tribe is engaged in. It is not designed t0 have all the tribes of the Americas on exhibition at once for that would make the enterprise almost as big as worlds fair. but as many as practic- able will be kept at the same time and changes will constantly be made so the visitors may always expect to see something new and in the courseH of time if he lives in Los Angeles long enough and visits the Crafts" often enough, he will have an opportunity 10 see every aboriginal tribe in the
