Indian Rides in Plane.
Martin tells of an Indian guide,
Hahotz Charlie, who, crouched in the
nose of the seaplane, was alternately
panic.stricken, dazed and then elated
with this strangest adventure that
over bcfell his tribe and one which
marks Il new epoch in the age-old
search for the precious yellow metal.
While five malmute huskicS lay low
on the floor whimpering with fear
Haho'Z Charlie rose in the air and
in minutes came down in another
spot which heretofore had taken him
u full days travelling to reach. The
Indian scrambled out of the plane
completely dazed, but finding himself
alive and unhurt he approached the
strange winged thing with awe and
delight. and soon became an aviation
enthusiast. He was in despair be-
cause Col. Williams, who has returned
10 civilization, could not take him
along.

Backed by Eastern capital, Col. Will

early in the Summer. He flew 10000
miles without a mishap, demonstrating
that not only can the gold fields be
prospected by air, but that gold can
be brought out much more easily by
plane than by the old method of pack
horses. He panned gold over a region
$50 miles square during his brief Sum-
mer excursion.

In Arlington; Was
Slave "a Years

Thomas Belt, 103 n street south
east, a former slave, claimed to be
l0l years old. was buried In
Arlington Cemetery Wednesday. He
died at his home Sunday after a
long illness.
Belt was born in Prince Georges
County, Md. and spent the first
"a years of his life as slave. In
1863 he enlisted in the Union Army
and served for years. After the
war he returned to Maryland, but
for the past 80 years he has lived
in Washington.
His record at the Pension Office
shows that he was about S8 years
old, but the clerks there say that
this record might be wrong as they
only had his statement to go on
and very few of the old slaves
knew their exact age.
He is not survived by any near

as well as fresh fish. Furthermore, small
quantities OF canned fish are imported
from Europe into the Virgin Islands,
The possibility Of a small fish packing
concern located, say, in St. Thomas
seems apparent. Such a plant could not
only handle the fresh fish market here
but could pack fish for the corned and
sait fish market as well. and apparently
could find a ready market for any sur
plus fish by shipping them in ice to Por-
to Rico. Certainly ne fact that we have
sent TO the United States 1888, 73l for
fish in the eleven years from 1913 10
1928, or an average Of $33, 37l annually,
should induce Us to make a very careful
survey OF our own resources, in order to
make sure that su"n an utg Of funds

Fishing In'The Virgin Islands.

One of the principal articles Of food IN
the Virgin Islands is fish. The demand
for fish, therefore. is constant and fish.
ing is commonly engaged in as a means
of livelihood. Investigations conducted
by the Department OF Agriculture, Com
merce, and Labor indicate a ]concensus
of opinion among fishermen generally
that a great many more fish could be
caught and disposed Of profiTabIy if only
a certain market could be assured. At
times, industry apparently suffers a con
siderable loss through the spelling Of
fish before sold, the poor marketing Of
the catch, and the difficulties involved in
getting the fish to the consumers.
Estimates of the daily catch of fish
vary so, that one almost hesitates to re-
cord them. For instance, tho estimate
of fish brought to St. Thomas daily for
sale ranges from five to ten thousand
pounds. This Department has not had
the opportunity to confirm these .esti-
mates.
An interesting fact with reference to
fishing in the Virgin Islands is that at
present, the local supply does not meet
the local demand. the truth Of this
statement is indicated by the fact that
from 1913 to 1923. inclusive, these Islands
imported each year from the United
States alone a total of 3l3, 022 pounds
and 424 barrels of fish valued at S33. 37l.
These impOrtatiOns do not represent the
entire quantity of fish brou ht into the
Islands, as various British islands. such

SUMMER SCHOOL
OPENS JUNE 18TH
AT FLAG NORMAL.

Flagstaff Normal will open it's
summer quarter June Is, according
to DR.. F. A Cotton, president Of
the school. The session will be in
operation ten weeks, ending Au-
gust 21. Plans are being made to
accommodate the largest influx of
school people in the history of the
Normal. From present indications
more than eight hundred summer
school students will be housed on
the campus and in the homes of
Flagstaff during the summer quar-
ter.
Flagstaff is noted the world over
for its fine climate and scenic at
fractions In summer, Flagstaff is
the coolest city in the United States.
The highest officially recorded sum-
mer temperature is 80, the average
70 degrees. The nights are usual
ly below 60 and frequently as low
as 45 degrees.
In addition to offering the regu-
lar teaching courses, the Normal is
prepared to offer work of junior
college grade. Credits earned in
this department are transferable to
any accredited university or college
in the country.
During the past year the enroll
ment has increased more than fif-
.ty per cent. The increase in en-
rollment has shown principally
among the young men, and it is
believed that large numbers of
young men will be in attendance
this summer
Prospective students are request
ed to write Acting President F. A.
Cotton, for further information
about the summer session.

SKELETON FOUND
UNDER STORE IN
PLEASANT VALLEY

Unconfrmed news of the finding
of skeleton of man under a
store building in the Pleasant val
ley has reached this city from pri-
vate sources and great deal of
speculation is rife regarding pos
sible Identification of the deceased
as victim of one OF the many
feuds that made the northern sec
tion of Gila county famous a num-
ber of years ago.
According to the story told, Fred
Armer found the body when he
was doing some excavating and af-
ter viewing it and ascertaining that
the clothing was still in a good
state of preservation and may yet
be identified, covered the skeleton
up again, pending a report to the
coroner at the county seat.
No report is available as to the
findings of the coroner as we go
to press.
The property upon which the
skeleton is said to have been found
belonged many years to Joe Scott
who has been dead for a long time.
Later the store was operated by a
man named Donelson, who NOV
ed from the valley about four years
ago and went to Tennessee to live.
Much interest is being manifested
and old timers are attempting to
fathom the identity of the remains.

HENRY SWANSTROM
KILLED AT JEROME,
CAR TURNS TURTLE

Henry Swanstrom, known to
many in Winslow, was killed last
week in Jerome, when his car
plunged down a 100-foot embank-
ment Swanstrom was connected
with the Santa Fe here until two
years ago as a machinist at the
round house.
The Verde Copper News, of last
Friday, carried the following story
of the accident.
Henry SwanStrom, machinist
in the employ of the United Verde
Copper company, and a resident of
the camp for the past three years
or more, drove his Buick car off
the road between the ice house and
the railroad station shortly after
10 o'clock last night.
The car and driver plunged down
the steep hillside to the lower Ex-
tension road, Swanstrom receiving
injuries from which he died short
ly afterwards at the United Verde
hospital.
The unfortunate man received
nOrf1Dle injuries, the entlre DacK
of his head being crushed in, and
the car was one of the most COM
plete wrecks that can be imagined.
Man and car fell more than 100 feet
down an almost perpendicular
bank
Swanstrom was unmarried and SO
far as known, his only relative is
brother in ST. Paul, Minnesota.
At the time of going to press, no
word had been received in reply to
the kilograms sent this morning by
Justice of the Peace and Coroner
Clyde B. Jones. The date of the
funeral has not been announced,
pending the receipt of some word
from the brother.

for the pronounced increases made
in the use of Arizona products in
the state during that period. The
meetings not only have resulted in
valuable exchange of ideas regard
ino iTnnrOVement of the 0ualitV

all products, but have brought the
producers, distributors and large
buyers of the states products into
direct contact and understanding,

year call for making it bigger and
better than any of the preceding
