The United States geological sur vey has recently been instructed by the secretary of the interior to make an examination of the Moki and Maya jo Indian reservations to determine whether or not ground waters exist there in sufficient quantities to just- fy development.
 The region occupied by these tribes is the high desert east of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. The Navajo are best known as the makers of h. dian blankets of unique design and Of particularly fine quality. Both the Ma vajo and Moki are pastoral tribes, herding within their reservations flocks of sheep and bands of cattle. In places where sufficient water is available small areas have been put under cultivation, Indian corn, mel ons and a few vegetables being raised.
 The reservations are rather rarely visited by white men, although they comprise aone of the most pictur- esoue areas in the great plateaus of the southwest. San Juan river, one Of the tributaries of the Colorado, flows along the northern boundary of the reservations in a canyon that resem- bles that of the Colorado but is some what smaller. Just south of the Moh

SHELDON ARRESTED
 AFTER MANY MONTHS
Man Wanted In Graham Coun- ty Captured In Douglas
 After a Long Chase.

DOUGLAS, Dec. 21.-(Special)- Sheriff A. A. Anderson of Graham county Friday arrested J. F. Shel- don in this city on a charge of em- bezzlement. Sheldon was previous to the indictment bookkeeper and cash fer for the store department of the Shannon Copper COT. pany at Clifton. Deputy, Sheriff Bob Hilburn and Pc
 liceman Russell assisted the Graham county official in the arrest of his man
 last night, though there was no re
 sistance, Mir. Sheldon being found
 with his family at his home on Eff
 teenth street.
 Sheldon was in the employ of the
 Shannon Copper company for several
 years prior to 1907, disappearing dur
 ing the summer of that year, taking
 with him as alleged in the indictment
 funds belonging to the company, the
 exact amount of the dedication not
 being known, but has been rumored
 to be an amount something like S25OO.
 The indictment against Sheldon was
 found by the grand jury at Solomon
 vile in October, 1907. Since then
 Sheriff Anderson has been on the look
 out for the absconding cashier.
 During the latter part of last year
 Sheriff Anderson succeeded in locat- ing Sheldon in the City of Mexico, and through the American consulate in that city, procured his arrest and started there to arrange for his re turn to the United States. Before the sheriff reached the Mexican capital Sheldon succeeded m making the po- lice of that city believe that his ar rest had been a case of mistaken iden- tity and he was released and disap- peared.
 After that nothing was heard of Sheldon until last month when Mir. Anderson received information to the effect that Sheldon had been seen in Ell Paso.
 Ten days ago Sheriff Anderson was notified by a friend in Clifton that Sheldon was at Nacozari, Sonora. He at once left for NacoZarf for the pur- pose of locating the fugitive, but when he arrived there on Wednesday or this week it was to learn that Sheldon had left on the train coming to Doug ias However. he learned at Nacozari that Sheldon had made inquiries there about Fl Tigre camp and it was pre- sumed that Sheldon was intending to go there However, Anderson con cluded to return to Douglas yesterday. On his arrival he soon learned that the family of Sheldon was residing in this city. but then he was not sure that Sheldon had returned here. Securing the number of Sheldon's house in the city the sheriff secured the assistance of the local officials and went to the hoese and made the arrest. Sheldon made no attempt as resistance and after some words with l his wife. who was completely broken down by the shock of her husband s arrest, the prisoner was taken to jail. Sheriff Anderson left this morning with his prisoner for Clifton. It is not known whether sheldon has friends who will provide him with the necessary bond for his release. pend ing the trial of his case, or not

ARE THE SCHOOLS WORTH THEIR COST?
Question Raised Regarding Results of Non-ReSeNation
 Indian Schools.

Is Uncle Sam's non-reserVation In dian school system a failure? Have the millions expended annually in it's support been merely wasted?
 l asked these questions of United States Indian Commissioner Francis E. Leupp, and his answer was ''Yes," says a Washington newspaper cores pondent.
 MT. Leupp ought to be pretty well informed on the subject, too. He re- ceives a big salary for being in charge of Uncle Sam's Indian population of 300, 900, of which there is an enroll ment of 94S5 students in the twenty six non-reservation schools of the country.
 The Indian commissioner does not consider his admission a reflection on his Indian management. He has done all he could to convince congress the present system of educating Indians is wrong, and that the money set aside-$3,925,S30 was the amount ap- propriated last year-for the maiDte- nance of Indian colleges away from reservations is practically wasted. ''The governments purpose in edu. eating the Indian" Commissioners Leupp e4plalQSus Is JO ndkS tue EdCSi not . the individual Indian, self-sup- porting The school of of the reser. vation does not do this.'
 At the schools every comfort is pro. vided. The students become accus- l toned to a life of id.eness
 When they gFsduate they feel above the uneGacated Indians on the reseT vajon, and instead of returning home and allowing their fellow tTibesmep 70 associate with them and get some of the benefit of their education strike off for the city.
 Indians soon find employers of cler- teal help are prejudiced against them Not 5 per cent of the Indians that go to large cities are able to make good With his pride injured, the educated | Indian finally returns home. He feels the white man has not treated him right in educating him as a white man and then refusing to associate with him in a business way. Once home, there is only hard farm work at hand.

know that Washington officials in restigated these matters and found him innocent"
 It was further urged by Bullard that Hildreth's business interests would suffer the longer the charges were held over him. Alexander said that he wanted the defendant to have a speedy trial, but gave his reasons for asking that the trial be set for some ten weeks away.
 In offering demurrers to the two in. dictments, both of which cover the same ground, Bullard contended that the offense charged did not constf ute a public offense, and that fur. ther ne was not properly charged After brief argument between Bull lard and Alexander, Judge Kent over ruled the demurrers. ...
 Hildreth stated later that he would welcome a speedy trial as he feels confident that he can prove his in nocence. He added that he would rather have the matter go to a jury than to win out on a technicality that would leave the question of his guilt or innocence unsettled.

One of the visiting bankers who at tended the annual convention of the Arizona Bankers Association, held in Bisbee last week, upon being asked what he thought of our town, ex- t,resse himself as follows:

 Many of the new buildings In War ren, which so impressed the visiting banker, and those now under process of construction, are being built by members of the Cochise Building & Loan Association, local institution organized last year for the purpose of enabling those who owned lots, but were unable to build, to secure the money for this purpose by becoming members of the association, and re- paving their loans in small monthly payments, less in fact than would be paid in rent for a building costing the same amount The need for an asso- ciation of this kind has long been felt in Bisbee.

Most of Examples of Summary Vengeance Were For Usual Offence So Common in the South.

CHICAGO. IL. Dec. 2I.-rne lynch ing record for 1908 shows that the practice of taking summary vengeance on persons guilty If certain forms of crime is increasing rather than al minishing. The figures for the twelve months beginning January l, 1908, are larger than for several years past. Though the most of ths lyncn- ings occurred in the south, they were not confined to that section by any means. Springfield. H., was the scene of the greatest race riot of the year, resulting in the lynching of two negroes and the killing and wounding of a number of citizens who partici pated in the riots that lasted several days. Of, the other northern states one lynching is recorded for Indiana while California furnished the onIy lynching in the far west.a Mississippi, Georgia and Texas, in order named, furnished the greater number of lynchings for the year. A Quadruple lynching in Kentucky Tn creased the figures tn that state over those of previous years. The record of Texas for 1908 was skiold greater than in 1907. In Arkansas, Alabama and Louisiana there were fewer lynch. ings than in 1907. Oklahoma shows a clean slate and so do Maryland, Mis- souri, Iowa and Nebraska, in all oi which states lynchings occurred ir 1907.
 The lynchings for 1908 total eighty eight This number is exclusive ol several who met death while being pursued by posses or resisting arrest Of the eighty-eight victims, eighty four were negroes and four were white men
 Following is a tabulated statement of lynchings, showing date, place, name and crime charged:
