When the present negotiations
were begun, ii of the best edu-
Gated and representative Indians
were selected to act for the tribe.
The advantages to be derived
from having the resources of the
reservation developed were point
ed out to the Indians and they
finally consented to allow the
filing of mineral entries under
the laws laid down by Uncle
Sam.
Navajo Indians are for the
most part industrious and self
supporting. They are the only
tribe which the government has
not supplied with ratiOns and
other necessities. of life such as
are granted to other Indians,
and it is probable the best thing
that could have happened to
them. Many of them are en-
gagged in ranching and stock
raising and have large herds of
cattle and sheep. Some of the
more thrifty have amassed for
tunes well up into the thousands
of dollars and live in substantial
houses and 'hogans."
Navajo blankets, which find a
ready market aud have brought
the tribe into prominence in the
commercial world, are woven by
the women and the work is done
entirely by hand. Practically
all of the wool from which the
yarn is made is sheared from ma
tive sheep and the fleece spun
on Gne reservation.
The Navajos are also silver
smiths of no mean ability and
their silver trinkets and kindred
wares are as eagerly sought by
curio dealers as the justly famed
blankets.
The celebrated Adams lost
mine, the story of which reads
like the rarest romance, is sup
posed to be on the Navajo reser-
walton, and here is a fine oppor-
tunity for prospectors and min
ing men to do original business
in their own, their native land.

TERRI
TORY TO Open
Fol. Mineral Entry.

A treaty has just been signed
with the Navajo Indians through
the efforts of a special agent of
the Indian office whereby their
reservation in the northwestern
part1 of New Mexico will be
thrown open, to mineral entry.
In consequence there will prob
ably be a rush of prospectors to
the mine deposits in the Cariso
mountains, which are located
about so miles west of Farming
ton, says the Bisbee Review.
According to the reported
stipulations of the treaty the
mineral entries will be confined
to gold, petroleum and natural
gas and the Indians viii receive
q certain percentage Of the pro-
ceeds in the form OF royalties.
The Cariso mountains are said to
be rich in gold deposits, which
have been jealousy guarded
heretofore by the Indians, who
were chary Of invasion by the
palefaces. There is a story that
several prospectors in years gone
by went into the Cariso noun
tains and were carrying off gold
nuggets by the canfull when
waylaid and killed BY the III
dians.
The Navajo Indians as a tribe
are quite civilized and yet they
have 10 tribal organization.

OUR new
GOVERNOR
pIeaSes the Masses.

The news of Curry's appoint
ment as governor of New Mex
leo was gladly received at Ala
mogordo. Curry is one of us.
He is our George and everybody
likes him. His appointment
doesn't mean a political move,
but a move for a chance for New
Mexico to have an executive Off
cial that will insure good govern
ment to all sections of New Mex
leo. He doesn't belong to any
sectional faction nor to any par
ticular political ring, and those
who are kicking at his appoint
ment are the fellows who want
a governor whom they can"work. "
In other words the kickers are
the fellows who want a governor
for their own personal political
selfish needs. And the kickers
know that George Curry will be
governor of all the people of
New Mexico. However, as ia
klckers, and those who are suf-
fering with kilkany-cat fits over
Curry's appointment, they do
not amount to much nor never
will, neither in this world nor

her cheek. He surveyed her with ad-

woman, especially as he Intended to be

Margie struck her forehead with her

Alexandrine came and put her arm
around Margie's waist.
Il almost envy you, Margie," she
said. in that singularly purring voice
Of hers. "Ah. LiHmere is magnificent!
Such eyes, and hair, and such a voice!

How They Act While Attending Their
Duties in Parliament.
1t is a mistake to think that the act
which led to the confederation of the
various provinces in 1867 has attained
no higher meaning in the life of the
Canadian people than that of a consti-
tutional union, says DonahOP's Maya
zine. It carries with it a meaning Of
far deeper import-a union of hearts,
whose offspring is oneness of patriotic
aim and purpose. OF course it would be
idle to say that the Canadian people
are a unit upon all questions of vital
interest to the life and growth of the
dominion. The geographical interests
of Canada are so varied that there must
necessarily be at times some friction
and clashing Of provincial needs and
ambitions. This is the case at Wash
ington: this Is the case, too. in so small
a confederation as the cantons Of
Switzerland.
A stranger visiting the gallery Of the
Canadian house of is struck
with the dignity and decorum which
mark the proceedings and surround
even the warmest and keenest Of de-
bates. Parliamentary procedure being
rigidly adhered to, there is little room
for uncalled for personalities in the
heat of a discussion. Sometimes, how

Early in July Mr.. Trevlyn and Mar

down to Cape May. Mr.. Treylyn had
long ago forsworn everything of the
kind; but since Margie Harrison had
come TO reside with him he had given
up his hermit habits, and been quite
like other nice equity old gentlemen.
The party went down on Thursday

destroyed for her all the charms Of sea

She despised Linmere with her whole

she scarcely gave her approaching mar

wondered that she did not; when she

to find herself so impassive.
Her party had been a week at Cape

with the wife of his employer, Mr.. Bel

and had been advised to try sea air
