HAD TO STOP TRAIN TO
GET THIS OLD LADY OFF.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July Mrs.
Charles Skinner, of Jackson, a 70-year
old woman, who took her first ride on
railroad train, was SO frightened
that the train was stopped and she
was permitted to alight owing to
fear that she would die of fright.
Yesterday with her son, Mrs. Skin
ner started for her home near Benton,
to go to Danville to visit relatives.
They drove to the Benton station and
there the old lady, after much per-
suasion was induced to board the
train. No sooner had she seen the
landscape moving past, heard the
rumble of the wheels and felt the mo.
tion of the train than she began to
scream and in minute was hysteri.
cal and struggling to get off. The
passengers fearing she would die Of
fright, induced the conductor to stop
the train, and she allghted a mile
from the station. AS soon as she re
covered she walked home.

CEREMONIAL DANCE.
AT TESUQUE PUEBLO
Interesting and Unique DispIay-Medl'
cine Men Chief Participants
Weird and Grotesque.

Many tourists and many people from
Santa Fe attended the feast and dance
of st. Joseph given by the Indians at
The Tesuque pueblo yesterday. A part
of them went on the excursion ar.
ranged by Charles Closson and ]. s.
Candelario, while others went on
horseback.
Although not as large as some
dances given in this part of the Ter
ritory, the one yesterday was pictur.
esquc and interesting, especially to
those who had never seen anything OF
the kind before. Presentations for the
affair had been arranged with great
care, so that everything was ready
when the party from Santa Fe arrived.
The dance began about 10 o'clock
and was held in the plaza surrounded
by the adobe buildings Of the pueblo.
About fifty Indians, including the med.
icine men, young bucks an dsquaws
and number of children participated.
The dances were of about one and
half hours duration with intervals of
about half-hour for rest. and lasted
until late last evening.
The dress of the dancers. which
had been made especially for the oc-
casion, added much to the interest OF
the affair. The medicine men were for
the most part wrapped in blankets of
bright colors and as they circled
around the oldest inhabitant of the
pueblo, who was beating Justify on q
huge tom1tom. they made an impress
sive picture. The bucks, with the ex.
ception Of a breechcloth, to which was
suspended ,he hides of wolves and coy.
otes, were not clothed. Their 1.-THE
and sinewy bodies had been painted
either a light brown or gray, while
their faces had been daubed with red
paint. They wore bells around their
ankles and all carried sprlgs of pinon
The squaws wore black dresses,
which came to their knees and which
were held around the waist by red
sashes. Many of the dresses were or
namented with silver spangles and
other decorations. Their long black
hair was also decorated, most of them
wearing a large "T." which had been
so arranged as to stand on their heads
in perpendicular manner.
The figures which they danced we're
irregular and indescribable. The med.
icine men, young bucks and squaws
ing time with the tom-tom chanted
wierd lncantations With the bucks
it seemed to be more a matter of en-.
iprance than anything else, and the
leh@er they danced the higher they
would leap into the air in trying to
ontdo their companions.
Between dances, the bucks and med
icine men retired to large adobe
building at one side of the court, while
the squaws entered the chapel where
services were being held. The medi-
cine men during the rest intervals
gathered around the tomtom and con.
! tinued their chants.
The feast was held at noon, a "fat.
ted calf' having been killed for the
occasion.

MINING OPERATIONS
WILL CEASE,
Says Albert r. Meyer-Protests
Against $50 Per Acre in Patented
Mining Claims.

Albert R. Meyer has addressed the
New Mexican from Broollline, Massa-
chusetts concerning the recent action
of the Board of County Commissioners
of Grant County in directing the as
SCISSOR to assess all patented mining
claims at 500 per acre. Mr.. Meyer
is of the opinion that mining in Grant
County will cease if such is the prac.
tice. He says
Editor New Mexican.
"Sir---In the June Sth issue of the
Western Liberal, a local newspaper

mann, both of Steeplerock, opposed
this order.
1T so happens that | am personally
interested in claim at Shakespeare
just south of Lordsburg. for which a
patent has recently been applied and
| am free to say that think the or
der of the commissioners is extremely
unjust and entirely agree with Messrs
Robinson and Wessermann.
Unless this order of the commits
sioners is abated to say between SIC
or SIS, there can only be one result
namely, total suspension of mining
activity in Grant County.
"In my opinion there is altogether
too much politics in Grant County fol-
its own future good.
I'm Arizona things are different ant
think 1t will win out in the race
unless there is a very quick change
in the conditions governing the min
ing industry in New Mexico.
