brought back a rare and beautiful
blanket from the reservation, valued
at 500, which is worked in designs
copied from the sand paintings. These
sand paintings, the Indians seldom al.

do not generally permit the squaws to
use the patterns in blanket weaving.
There are instances where a squaw
has been put to death for using the

Mr.. Alexander says the trip was
hard one, but it was interesting and !
profitable. He found the New Mexico
water very bad, travelling for miles
and miles without coming across a
drop OF water fit to drink. The sun
