The Bedouin's Three Treasures.
From the Wide World Magazine.

fioAii hiN 'fNS 'SAfN AhaSu6iiiS.
There are always three things up
permost in the Bedouin's mind-his
gun, his horse. and his wives. The
most modern arms of precision have
replaced the primitive which. un-
til a few years Ago.. was the usual
weapon. The Bedouin is quick to real
ize the efficiency of modern
and soon becomes an expert marks
man. So much has the spear fallen out
Of favor that the bearer of one would
be ridiculed in his w camp. Such
pride has the Bedouin in his weapons
that even In his leisure hours he sits
fully armed. examining and cleaning
each piece in turn, making himself ac-
customed to carrying their weight. No
youth considers himself a man until he
has fully equipsed himself. A sword
is much esteemed, but generally only
as an heirloom, n as giving distinc-
ton to the bearer. There are to be
found many excellent blades among the
sheikhs, some with a history of hun
dreds of years, having been handed
down from father to son.

No TROUBLE IN
AlAMOS DISTRICT
Americans Left Because the
Railroad Was Going
to Close Line

DOUGLAS. May 10:-That the Ala.
mos district is quiet. with no rebel
depredations experienced up to this
time. is the statement of J. L. and
Frank Obermuller. who arrived a few
days since from that section. Both
are connected with la Nina Prieta,
thirty-fye miles west OF Alamos.
Our company suspended opera
tions when the cam SHAFT in the mill
was broken. We reached the decis-
ion to suspend only upon receiving
notification that the Southern Pa
cifc intended to suspend operations
on account OF the depredations OF the
Yaqui Indian to the SOUTH said j.
l.. Obermuller. We then decided to
close down work until the country
shall have become more settled in
condition. There are no mines work
ing in the immediate vicinity OF Ala
mos, save la Junta mine, owned by
lMexicans, adjoining our property.
Practically all Americans in that sec
ton have left, being affected by the
report that the railroad will cease op-
erations. and not because OF fear of
violence.

SILVER MINING
BEING REVIVED
Globe Man Goes TO Claims
He Prospected Many
Years Ago

GLOBE, May 1O:-Dan Rose ex-
poets to leave this morning for the
Ramoz district where he located a
few silver claims years ago and sent
a dozen or so sacks OF the ore to the
smelter. The claims are now the
property of Lyman Woods and Mr..
Rose knows where a rich vein lies on
the property, he thinks.
Mr.. Rose, in discussing the revival
OF silver mining and the old activity
in this section before copper became
the principle product. said that the
climbing price of silver, as well as
copper, was significant and that he
anticipated a great increase in the
number OF silver workings during the
coming year.
The old Stonswall. now known as
the Mcmillan mines, which are in
charge OF V. Y. Smith, are coming for
ward rapidly" said Mr.. Rose. a
party or engineers has been on the
ground for about three weeks and as
! understand il they have located
about seven miles OF claims along the
Stonewal lodge. This property is
about eight miles from Globe
