MEN OFFERING -scALPs.

Mr.. Rex anu his :1o1 Ranch, are
famous for the offer of 81 900 which has
been made to the man who would
run the risk of being scalped by the
Indians of his Wild West Show on the
opening day at jamestown. The offer
is that any man will be given 200 yards
start of squad of Indians and must
run around the track of the arena, which
covers two city blocks, three times. If
he is not caught by the Indians he will
be taken to the centre of the arena and
given $1,000. If he is caught, he will
be taken to the arena, given 81, 900 and
then scalped. This operation will not
necessarily cause death, but is said to
be quite painful. Mr.. Rex has hundreds
upon hundreds of acceptances. One
man from Southwest Virginia writes:
Il beg leave to repspeckfuly except
your offer of one thousand dollars to be
scalped at the Exposition. Give me
200 yard and / can outrun any darned
batch of Indians you can get together"
Scientists are now engaged in dis
covering what the effects of the opera
tion will be.

quartz extracted must be treated at
the mill of the ground landlord and all
gold extracted sold to him at q rate
previously decided upon, leaving a fair
profit for the peasant and an extra
good one for the landlord. There Is no
philanthropy about the transaction.
and the peasant is in no way bound to
accept the terms. No charge whatever
Is made for the use of the mill. The
field is thus practically developed for
nothing; rich reefs which would prob
ably remain undiscovered are opened
up by "tributors," who frequently
make fortunes out of rich strikes. The
mine owner is thus continually In
touch with ALI that is going on and
duly records the results Of the OPERA
tions for his own benefit.
