THE PUEBLO INDIANS.
Their Religion Is In "A Way "a Species
of Water Worship.


Eagle feathers are much used in the
ceremonials of the Pueblo Indians, and
In order to make sure Of supply the

few feathers whenever they happen
to want them. On the other hand, the

Of their towns, which are considered
the property of different clans among
them. The eagle lays its eggs in the
same nest year after year, and the
clans inherit rights to certain nests
from generation to generation.
The eagles are not killed, but the
new fledged young ones are taken
from the nest-that is to say, all but
one or two, which must be left. To
remind the eagle god to encourage the
laying of more eggs by the birds an
egg carved out of wood is placed
where the divinity will be sure to see
it; also, after being plucked. the ca
glets are carefully buried in a certain
cleft in the rocks. which is the eagle
cemetery. Here the eagles have been
inferred for centuries, and the place is
very sacred.
The Pueblo Indians have a tradition
Of the flood, and they say that the tur-
key is marked in cOmmemoration of
that event, its tail being black at the
end where it was dragged through the
mud after the water had subsidized
The duck is another sacred bird, be
ing associated with water. From the
Pueblo point of'view, anything that is
related to the all precious water in any
way is an object of worship. Their re-
tigion is made up to a great extent OF
aquatic divinites and might be called
a species of water worship.

EWYHEN it was announced few
49, days ago that f. Augustus
helnze had won his fight
against the Amalgamated
copper company and its Standard Oil
packers men familiar with the danner
little mining king were not greatly sur-
prlsed. There are few men who stand
chance of winning when the battle
Is against such men as John D. Rookie

Cllrk and other opponents of what
Thomas W. Lawson calls 1.-THE system"
HelnZe is one of these few. He gen
orally has luck on his side. He knows
the copper mining business from A
TO Il. he understands how to play both
business and politics so that the two
games will work his way, and he has
nerve enough to tackle anything. The
harder the proposition the better he
likes it. II. II. Rogers is considered to
possess a wonderful power as to esti-
mating men and handling them in any
negotiations he may think fit to enter
with them. But Heinze even ten years
ago, when he was quite young man
proved too much of an enigma for the
Standard Oil vice president to solve
There is Il story that about that time
Mr.. Rogers invited him to his office one
day with view of compromising
the fight HeinZe had precipitated by
suits against the companies controlling
Amal%amated properties. At the be-
ginning of the interview Mr.. Rogers is
said to have minated in his usual DO
lite and suave manner that of course
he had the power to crush his youthful
rival completely to the earth, but that
he hestated to exercise it, that litiga-
ton would interfere with some of his
plans and that, in short. he would lis
ten to proposition for settlement. Mr..
HeinZe, with equal politeness, remark
ed that he had not come to make a
proposition. that Mr.. Rogers had sent
for him. and he was there to listen.
Thereupon John d. Rockefellers right
hand man is said to have declared:
We'll, Mr. Heinze, we will give you
S250,000 to settle all your clams-give
it to you in cash this afternoon"
Young HeinZe smiled. "Mr. Rogers"
he said, Il am surprised. had thought
you were a man of broad views. accus-
toned to great negotiations"
"In heavens name," gasped the oil
magnate, ''how much do you want?"

F. AUGUSTUS HEINZE.

Standard Oil closed with HeinZe at his
own figures then. But he could not see
1t that way at the time. When the
long warfare was recently concluded
through the purchase Of a majority of
the HeinZe mines by a company con-
trolled by Amalgamated financiers 1t
was rrlmored that HeinZe got $4,000,
900 out of the settlement. Amalgamat
ed officials denied the sum was so
large, but nobody doubted it was q
good deal in excess of $10,000,OOO. The
effect of the settlement will be to re-
lease the Amalgamated mines in Mon
tana from the injunctions obtained by
HeinZe and permit the working of val
liable veins to be resumed.
The IF" in the name of Mr.. HeinZe
stands for Frederick. and he was call
ed Fritz as a boy, but he now goes by
his middle name of Augustus. He is
the son of a New York merchant and
was born in New York in 1869. On
graduating from the School of Mines
Of Columbia university in 1889 he start
cd for Montana. His first job was that
of an assistant engineer on the INSIDE
Of the Boston and Montana mine, and
his pay was s. day. During the day
he grubbe1 patiently LOCO feet be-
meath the surface in overalls and laced
cowh.des. He studied the trend and
dip of the copper veins and compared
his notes with the surface location of
other claims. When he came out of the
mines he washed up, put on his 'claw
hammer evening suit. one of the first
reen in Butte, and dined as though in
clubhouse on Fifth avenue. The min
ers called him dude" but they soon
learned that he was no tenderfoot.
After two years of practical work In
the mines HeinZe went to Germany
and spent two years there in study Of
mineralogy. Then he returned to this
country and with his brother, Arthur
ueinZe. a lawyer, formed a copper
company to operate in Montana. The
young men had inherited some money
from a relative, and this they put into
the venture They bought mines sup
posed to be valueless, but which they
knew TO be worth millions, and soon
came to be big factors in copper min
