"SNAKE' RETURNS TO

Snake, the Indian girl who was
the sole grown survivor of the In

recently escaped from the Stewart
Indian school, has returned. The
love that she bore for her little
brother and sister was stronger
than the call of the wild.
She returned to the school in the
dead of the night and had all the
appearances of having had long
and dusty walk She was not ques-
toned upon her return, but yes
terday she told one of the girls OF
the school that she did not know
where she had been, that she has
walked and walked for long time
until she and her companion haC
reached camp of Indians and

TERRELL FAILING TO
JUSTIFY PREDICTION

Reports from the recent develop
ment work at Terrell are not as en-
couraging as those received a few
weeks ago Work on the old shaft
reached a depth of 107 feet where
it was abandoned after crosscut-
ting the ledge, which was not of
such a character as to justify ex-
penditure. The new shaft on the
main showing on the hill is down
about 100 feet and followed three
small stringers, but they have so
far failed to show a commercial ore
body. Crosscutting will be done
from the bottom of this shaft, but
on the present showing the prospects
of the camp making good are moi
considered very bright.
What excitement there was has
practically subsidized on the more
recent showings from development
work.
