MONEY FOR INDIANS
ottawas and chippewas in Michigan
to Get $4,000.

The much-wanted pot OF gold that
the Indians of Michigan have been ex-
pecting Uncle Sam to give them has
at last materialized and in Traverse
City hundreds of Indians received
their share of the $4,000 allowed by
the court of claims.
AS there are $500 Ottawas and
Chippewas to share in the money, the
fortune dwindled down to $21 for each
adult and s125 for each child of 3
years Or under. The payments are
being made by Charles M. Dickson,
who has come come from Scottsville
where he paid the Indians in that
vicinity.
No notice OF the government agents
coming was published, but that was
not necessary, the news being wire
iessed" among the Indians OF the north
with most remarkable rapidity. For
days they have been coming, old, mid
dle-aged and young down to pappooses
It is now expected that claim OF
100000 will be allowed by the court
of claims.

old ground each had traversed 50 many years ago, is that MT. Farley learned in San Francisco a few days ago that MT. Kinney was in Tucson, and left immediately for the Old Pueblo, and was agreeably pleased to learn that his old eomrade of the famous troop was still alive and good for any duty in the cause of the country at the sound of "boots and saddles"
 In speaking of Sergean Farley, MT. Kinney states that he was one of the bravest and most fearless sol diers the service ever had. He was regarded so highly by commissioned officers that had he remained in the service or had not been so seriously wounded, there is no doubt he would have received higher recognition in a short time. While resolute in his discipline ne had that genial person ality that made every man on the line a stauneh friend.
 MT. aFarley today retains all his old time characteristics, and his won derful physique is not shattered in the least. He walks with the agility of a boy, and is now recognized as one of the keenest detectives on the Coast, being the assistant general manager of the Thiel Detective Agency of San Francisco, that mas force of over 1,5OO men employed. Before selecting this line of work as a profession, MT. Farley was fiji teen years chief of police of Denver, Colo, making a splendid record in that office.
 When the two comrades met in Tucson, it was nearly forty years to a day since they had bidden each other a farewell. It was on Sunday morning last when they met, and when they parted at old Camp Bowie two score years ago, it was On a Sunday morning also. Of their sol dier days in Troop K, in Arizona, they are the only two known to be alive. i., p -CL zF Aj

YAvAPAI COUNTY IN
 RACE FOR PRIZES

Yavapai has taken action on the many tips that have emanated from the southern counties of Arizona to take away from it the well earned
 honor of being the banner agricul- tural and horticultural division of the Territory, and will exert itself next month at the Territorial Fair to retain the distinction it honestly won by hard effort and intelligent hus- bandry of the soil. The intense riv- airy to take away the first county prize and to strip the blue ribbons of the eighty-seven exhibitors that were accorded as many tillers of the soil, last year, will be answered by the greatest and finest display this year that was ever exhibited.
 A vast amount of interest is pre- vailing among the farming element, and A. A. Johns, the energetic com missioner of this county, is daily flooded wit hletters asking for in- formation and applications for pre- mium lists, which suggest that the task will not be an easy one for either Marieopa or Coehise to accom- plish.
 MT. Johns stated yesterday that dry farming products were especially de- sired this year. Those whose pro- auctions cover other lines are inform ed that no cost whatever will be made for transportation on the rail road from any point, and after the exhibit reaches Phoenix, cold storage will be furnished free of charge.
 The estimated number of agricul- tural and horticultural exhibits this year is reaching far above that sent to the last Territorial Fair, and it is believed that the blue ribbons will raech to 100 and the first county priz secured again.
 The mineral exhibit will be larger tnAs yedr anu lt IS dlmOsI cerIa;1 that the county will as usual receive the highest rating in that line. The ore exhibit from this county exceeds in volume and character that of tie combined exhibits of all counties in the Territory and is kept ou the Fair ground the entire year.
 Any intending exhibitor desiring can communicate with | MT. Johns, who will reply promptly, | and send in addition a premium list. l He requests that shippers send ex- hibits direst to Phoenix, or to him in this city.

PACIFIC MINE IS
 NOW REGULAR SHIPPER
QFrom Fridays Daily.)

Yesterday the important informa- tion reached the city from the camp of the Pacific Copper Mining com pany at Silver Mountain, that the first ear load of thirty tons of ore from that property was being loaded for shipment and that hereafter it was the intention to make regular weekly cOnsignments for reduction. This movement it attracting sonsid erable interest in that field, and prae- tically another permanent mining en- terprise is established under the most favorable conditions.
 This disposition of the product fol lows the completion of the new wagon road from Harrington, permit ting transportation facilities that heretofore were not available. This avenue will also be utilized in bring ing in new machinery that was de- cided upon recently when John Kelly, president of the company, and other associates visited their interests. The new equipment consists of a 40 horse power hoist, an 80 horse power com pressor with four drills, and lesser machinery, indicating the intention to operate on a scale far more exten sive than ever before. That the proposition warrants the heavy out lay and the extensive development planned is borne out by what is in evidence at all points opened, the mine passing from a stage that gave it rating as a prospect and assuming prominent consideration as one of the coming big propositions of the eoun- try.
 The Pacific interests have been quietly and diligently developed for more than three years but not until the past few months have they at traeted public interest. the isolated location and the methods of oper ating keeping the property somewhat in the background.
 The uncovering of rich and strong ore bodies at depth a short time ago has awakened the mining community to a keen realization of that district, and naturally the Pacific section is now an attractive zone.
 Mining men familiar with the prop 1 erty and the mineralogieal determina- tions in evidence speak in splendid | terms of what may be expected from this enterprise from now on.

 Denton, the check manipulator, af- ter sluieing several in the city, on Tuesday, out of a sum ranging to over s1O0, using the name of Charley Miller of Skull Valley, to get the the easy money, continued the pro eedure Wednesday afternoon, after banking hours, and secured s14.50 in cash and some goods from a Cortez street merchant. From this deal it would appear that the rural garbed youth did not leave the city after Tuesdays big stunt, but took an other whirl the day following for bets that were overlooked. The sup position of officers is that he is hid ing out and had not left the city up to last night. A good description of him is known from his peculiar garb and his youthful appearance. He is not vet 19 years old, and before com ing to the city worked on the Miller ranch in Skull Valley, where he was a diligent student of yellow backed novels and other "elassy" criminal literature.

LATIN AND GREEK
 SCHOLARS ARE ELIGIBLE

Announcement is made by Presi-
 dent K. C. Babcock of the University
 of Arizona, that the next qualifying
 examination for the Rhodes Scholar
 ship for Arizona will be held on
 Tuesday and Wednesday, October
 9 and 26, at the library of the Uni
 versity at Tucson. These scholar
 ships, worth about $500 per year,
 and tenable for three years, were
 established by the late Cecil Rhodes,
 by whose will trust fund of about s10,0O0,0OO was created to maintain
 at the University of Oxford, England,
 three-year scholarships for selected
 students from the British colonies,
 Germany and the United States, each
 State and Territory of the United
 States being entitled to two scholars.
 The committee of selection, consist
 ing of the president and two profes- sors of the University of Arizona, made its first selection three years ago and the second during the cur rent year. Clarence Spaulding of Phoenix, the first Rhodes scholar from Arizona, is now completing his last year as a member of St. John s College, and Lester Disney of the University of Arizona enters his first year at Exeter College.
 To be eligible a candidate must be born a citizen of the United States, and on the first of October of the year in which he is elected hs must be between his 18th and 25th birth days. He must also have completed his second year in a recognized de- gree-granting college or university, and pass examinations in Latin and Greek grammar, Latin and Greek prose composition, translations from Latin and Greek into English, arith- metie and algebra or the clements of geometry. A candidate who has passed all but the Greek is eligible. but he must take the examinations | in Greek at Oxford before he can be | admitted to his college. A eandi- | date must be a resident of Arizona Or have acquired a large part of his educational qualifications in Ari- zona, but he may take the examin- , ations in any state ne chooses.
 In accordance with MT. Rhodes i wish, expressed in his will, the scholar must be chosen with due re- speet to his literary, scholastic, and athletic attainments, his qualities of truthfulness, unselfishness, and fellowship, and his moral force and leadership among his fellow stu dents. These scholarships offer pc culiarly attractive opportunities to those American students who can give three years to residence and severe study in the great and world famous University of Oxford. so full of traditions of culture and of in spiration. The stipend is sufficient to enable students to travel exten- sively during the long vacations, privilege particularly important to those interested in history, art, and applied science. For example, MT. Spaulding, who is preparing for the ministry, has spent his recent vaca- ton on trip through Asia Minor and tine Holy Land.

COMRADES
 MEET IN TUCSON
Famous Indian Fighters Exchange Greetings First Time in Over
 Two Score Years

One of the most interesting his
 torieal events that has happened in
 Arizona on many years, occurred a
 few days ago at Tucson, when John
 F. Farley of San Francisco and John
 Kinney of Prescott had the pleas
 ant experience of meeting face to
 face for the first time in over forty
 years. The thrill of joy these veter-
 ans of the Apache war experienced,
 and the mutual good fellowship each
 held for the other, was renewed in that firm and affeetionate manner that only the soldier of other days knows or feels. This personal re- gard was out of the ordinary run of pioneer doings, from the fact that both Pilgrims of the Gila were sol diers in the same company in 1869, and both believed that the other had answered to "taps" long ago. The reunion of these men attracted the attention of the Historical So- ciety, and MT. Farley was taken to the altar and made a pioneer mem Der on sight, MT. Kinney and MT. Long vouehing for his Hassayampa proelirities
 The union of these men recalls a vivid chapter in the days when the Apache contested every inch of ground against the paleface invader. The famous Fighting Third Cavalary was the main military force in the field, and MT. Farley had the dis tinction of being the first sergeant of Troop K in that regiment. Next in rank to him was MT. Kinney, now a resident of this city. While the troop was passing through the treaeherous Apache Pass, under the command of Captain Jerry Russell, now deceased, the soldiers were fired on from ambush. Sergeant Farley, at the head of his troop, in making a dash for the seereted demons, was shot from the saddle and fell to the ground, badly wounded. After the Indians were driven from their l stronghold, Sergeant Farley was pick ed up and taken to Fort Bowie, sev- eral miles distant, and placed in the i post hospital. His wounds were con sidered mortal and his death was expected at any moment.
 This memorable fight occurred in February of 1870, and was the last general engagement had with the In- lians for many years, the tribe be- ng defeated and broken into small i bands. rA~-E
 The Third Cavalary was later or lered to Nebraska, with General Crook in command, to take part in the Sioux Indian wars that were .hen raging. Sergeant Farley was bid m affectionate farewell by his com rades, and the last to leave his side vas Sergeant Kinney, who had been appointed first sergeant of the troop, liter the Apache Pass fight.
 As time passed the two comrades ost all traces Of each other, and, as Mr. Kinney stated yesterday, he be- ieved that Sergeant Farley had lied of his wounds, the news being eceived several weeks afterward, while they were in the field in the forth, that such a fate had befallen lis friends and comrade.
