Rare North American Furs
Mink Skunk Muskra Marten Canadian Indian Best Trap
por-How Skins Are Prepared for Tanner.

Ontario, northern New York, and
the state of Maine produce the finest
mink skins of the continent. Second
in quality are the skins from the Lake
Superior regions of the United States
and Canada. Northwestern Canada
and Alaska yield pelts' Of third grade,
while the Chippewa Indian reserva-
ton Of Wisconsin produces the fourth
grade skins. These are the prime"
skins.
In this class Of prime pelts, too.
are four gradations as to the size of
the skins. ranging extra large"
medium" and small"
One of the prime class are four 9TH
er gradations, running Eight" as to
color; small" again; and No. IS and
No. As. These light skins are due to
climatic conditions in the south. The
small and the "3s" and "4s" Of the
class ordinarily are too young to have
grown coats Of fur.
Oddly enough, the heaviest pelt Of
any OF the mink family contributory
TO Chicago is trapped in Illinois. But
the fur" element is lacking; coarse
hair is characteristic of the Illinois
animal and renders it almost value
less. out of the whole middle west
region these mink skins carry to the
expert the particular section Of coun-
try in which they were born. Also,
the time OF year in which they were
trapped must be marked in the condi-
ton of the fur.
To determine the value Of one of
these mink skins and decide upon its

Recorders Office
Looks Like Bank

The additional counter in the re-
corder's office in the city hall is now
as nearly complete as is possible until
the marble slab, etched glass and
scroll work arrive. The extension
has been made by F. H. Fitch and is
a fine piece of work. The office now
looks like an up-to-date bank. One
taxpayer was heard to remark that
this was appropriate as people leave
considerable of their money there in
the way of taxes, special assessments
and water and light payments. 1t
will be some time before Recorder
Gillette's private office is ready for
occupancy as the new vault, which
was constructed of concrete, is very
slow to dry at this season of the
year. Charley says he hopes to be
able to celebrate next Christmas
there.

The Giants are playing fast ball,

After EVers uses Cheney against

be up against it for a pitcher who can

Lavender, Richie, Pierce or Hum

WHITE MOUNTAINS
GAME PARK IS
PROJECT
Sale of Six Hundred Million Feet of
Timber By Government for Over
Million and Half Dollars
Reported.

A great game park in the White
Mountains in Navajo and Apache coun-
ties, is being planned by the govern
ment as the result of the sale of 600.
100000 feet of timber there for $2.5J
thousand feet. The sale will bring
the government $1,506,0O which will
be used in reclaiming land in a por-
tion OF the present reservation for
the use of the Indians after which the
remainder of the great forest will be
converted into a preserve for wild
animals.
This was the word brought to Globe
by DIR. F. l.. Wightman, who has just
returned from a camping trip in the
White Mountains. The doctor said
that when the preserve is created the
forest, which is a part of the greatest
unbroken stand of timber in the Unit
ed States, would be the finest campin 2
ground in the country
1t is much nicer to camp where
game can be seen running or flying
fearlessly through the forest than to
go out and shoot it," said the doctor
1T is safe to say that when the pre-
serve is created cutters will come here
from all parts of the country to enjoy
camping trip in the White Noun
tains''
The land between the sawmill and
White River is the portion to be
put under cultivation for the In
dians. 1t is planned to build reser-
voir and give the Indians an ample
supply of water and the land will be
as fine as any in the southwest when
it is put under irrigation The plan
is being blocked at the present time
by controversy over taking away
part of the water supply that flows to
the Roosevelt dam but it is expected
that this obstacle will be surmounted
within short time and the project
carried out. esf
Purchasers of the 600, 900 900 feet of
timber are>the Navajo Lumber & Con-
struction company and it is likely that
railroad will be built into the for
est from the Santa Fe for the purpose
of handling the logs. The lumber will
be taken out under the supervision of
the government and there is no dan
ger of any damage being done to the
forest by the loggerS.
Roads Being Improved.
DR.. Wightman reports tina. Mr.. Pet
erson, the new agent on the White
River reservation, has a crew of 100
Indians at work on the road which
is in ine shape in the district over
which he has supervision Agent
Lawshee of the San Carlos reserva-
tion is also taking steps to put the
road from the sawmill toward Globe
in better shape and now has a crew
of Indians at work. This work is
being done under the new agreement
with the supervisors by which the
expense of road building on the res
ervation is divided up.
DR.. Wightman reports that many
are travelling over the
Springerville road every day and that
with the roads improved Globe will
be stopping point for hundreds of
tourists in the summer and in succeed
ing years.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
At SHANNON
Clifford Bond Sustains Compound
Fracture of Knee After Falling
Distance OF Thirty Feet.

A serious accident was that which
'befell Clifford Bond, electrical EN-.
ployee of the Shannon Co., last Sun
day. Mr.. Bonds work is to test
motors, and while engaged in testing
the motor operating the crane used
at the ccnverters at the Shannon
smelter, through some manner the
wires connected with the testing ap.
paratus became entangled with the
ladder upon which the electrician was
standing. The shock was so great
that Mr.. Bond lost his hold, falling to
the ground, about forty feet below,
the fall resulting in a compound frac-
ture of the right knee, besides many
bruises about the body.
Mr.. Bond was removed to the
Shannon hospital and is suffering less
pain than might be expected from
such an accident. 90
The force of his fall was in some
manner broken by striking fairly
upon a Mexican laborer before reach
ing the ground. The head and
shoulders of the Mexican received the
full i'm pact of the electricians weight.
Mr. Bond, who is unmarried, has
been residing in Clifton for the past
two years. He has been employed by
the Shannon Co. for some time.
