This instinct of seeing without eyes
is cultivated in the blind student as soon
as the institution receives him. All the
home influence has to be undOne. The
hoy or girl has been accustomed to SIT

is told to run alone. II may mean some
hard bumps at the start, but in an amaz-

THE BLIND BOY SCOUT.

Frolics of the kind described are regu-
lar part of the modern education of the
blind. They keep up with the times to
the extent of participating in such appa-
rently impossible innovations as the Boy
Scout movement 1t seems absurd TO tax
of a corps of Blind Boy Scouts, but there
are several in existence. They go out
on "hikes" of their own, have tents ana
regulations and drills and exercises and
enjoy the emselves just as much as any oi
the other scouts The boys have method
of communicating by means of sounds
they make their way over country and
meet at given spot with unorring Skill
and they have reached the point OF eN-
porience where they are able TO give
public exhibitions OF scout work. Part
of the programme at the celebration re-
ferred to al the OVerbroOk institute n
was an exhibition OF this kind by Blind
Rov Scouts. who showed how to erect
tents. make beds and do various KINDS OF
camp work without any assistance from
those who can see.

blind boys is an interesting sight The
boys will make and apply bandaSes. con-
struct splints and place them on imag'n-

methods.

MINING NEWS
SAYS ORC BLANGO
IS RICH DISTRICT
DeVere Finds Rich Sylvan
tie Ore, Carrying
Gold and Silver.

'.The mining district Of orc Blanco,
in southern Arizona" says E H De
We're, the mining engineer. will be-
come one of the best districts in that
state But II viii not have any boom
like the bOOms Of Cripple Creek, ana
il is not a poor mans camp Tor the
ores are Of shipping character and the
mineral belt is at present too far from
railroad f any ore except the hlgn-
est grade TO be shipped at profit
Should the railroad be built from Tue
son down TO Port LObos it would make
ORC BlancO a very busy country, Tor
there is much low grade ore IN big
veins.
The Austerlitz is a big and rich
mine. It has, 1 am [ ID a BODY OF ore
in sight 30 feet wide, that runs $50
per ton and is shipping lots or ore in
the same vicinity is the Montana. also
a great big mine, with an ore body
over 20 feet VIDE, equally rich, and
this is d big shipper. These two DO
nanzas are the center Of activity. The
Other properties in the district are IN
development stage
Most OF the mining properties are
isolated and a considerable distance
from one another, for it is a very ex-
tensfve district The two big mines I
have mentioned are Just above the lit
tie town of ORC BlancO- Some miles
away are the Old Glory mine, the
srubstake and other mines in opera
ton.
This district is really a new-old
district for it was first worked away
back in the early eighties. when there
was a gold excitement. Ruins OF old
reduction works remain there today
They were crude affairs and failed to
extract the values. There was some
placer mining also. The new railroad
from Tucson south to NOgales, has
helped things somewhat but it is too
far from the camps to do much good"
Mr.. De Wore, who is an old Cripple
Creek man, made a very important
discovery in that district, as he found
sylvanite ore or telurium, carrying
gold and some silver which evidently
had been over looked by the early
prospectors in the district. As this
class Of ore is always rich in gold it
Is only question Of how extensively
It will be found to exist in that
countrv.
