Arab*—A Llfo Laid Down for a l'ellow
Mao.
While acting as newspaper correspondent j
in Algeria, says Robert Dano, I bad one ex-
perieuco, at least, that has always seemed to ,
mo worth telling. I had been down to the
coast, to the town of Algiers, after six
months’ campaigning at tho front against tlio
Arabs, and was to join tbo Ninth brigado of
Chasseurs of Africa, under Col. Lascelles, at
a town in tho interior called Martiiano, on
tbo 18lh of September. But having a good
deal of correspondence, both private and of a
business nature, to get eff, it was the morn
ing of tho 20th when my factotum, Fabrino,
and myself rode into Martirano, only to find
for once that a brigade of French troops had
started on tho date set, and, as I learned,
from some friendly Arabs who camo iu, were
encamped at the Seven Stones pool, a snot
sixty-lour miles from tbo town. Theso
friendly Arabs also informed mo that the
brigade of Col. Izascelles was pretty thorough
ly cut off from the main body by roving
parties of hostile», all, hotvever, acting on
ono plan .mid under tho direction of one
leader. Here was the deuce to |>uy—a pros
pect of action, of seeing service and gather
ing news that no other London paper would
get, was too good to throw away, so Fabrino
and myself held a conversation and, much
against his advice and inclination, we de
cided to risk it. Fabrino was a little, dark
skinned, slight Franco-Arab, of oft tried
courage, great coolness, and devoted to me.
I knew that I could trust him in any event,
and te.l.ng him to muke the horses ready,
proceeded to overhaul my revolvers and re
load them carefu.ly, for thero was every pro
bability of my needing them before the night
ride was over.
At 5 p. m. Fabrino reported everything
ready, and a little before 8 wo rode out south
ward toward the desert. We were both
mounted on Arab horses, mine being full
bred, and it hud been given me by one of the
friendly Arab chiefs, in whoso tents I had
once spent three months. Fabrino’s was a
half breed Arab, and a «plendid goer. We
had agreed to push straight through, stopping
for no bait, and paying attention to no Arabs,
be they friendly or hostile. Fabrino assured
me that our horses could do the sixty uiiles
by morning, and though 1 rather doubted it,
it was our only chance, and I was determined
to w ork that only chance for nil it was worth.
Mile after mile passed in silence, save the
muffled sound of our horses’ feet in the sand.
It was a starlight night, but there was no
moon, and there could not have been a better
night for an expedition of this kind. Once
in passing some tamarisk there was a hail in
Arabic, but we only bent lower on tho necks
of our horses and sped on, and after we hud
gone half tho distanco or thereabouts we
halted at a water hole, reconnoitering care
fully, before finally riding up to it, for fear
of finding ourselves in the midst of an Arab
vidette—I had bad nn uneasy feeling for the
last few miles—and now that tbo hoof beats
were stilled I could distinctly bear tbo sound
of horsemen at some distanco behind us.
Fabrino heard it, too, and told mo bo had
heard it for some time. Thero was nothing
for it but to pre s on. Tightening tho girths
wo swung ourselves into the saddle, loosened
our pistols so that they might be easily drawn,
gathered up the reins, and tho horses started
neck and neck with a rush.
Wo ha«l not gone a niilo from the pool
when a flash on our right forewarned us of
tho bullet that immediately whizzed over our
beaus. Following Fabrino’s lend I shied off
toward tho left, and tlio Arabs at once broke
cover and came on in pursuit. Looking over
my shoulder I could see the two fleetest
mounted ns they tore on in our rear. Fabrino
and I pulled our horses down a little, and,
turning in our saddles, took as deliberate aim
as was possible in the uncertain light and at
the speed we were going, and gave them a
volley from our heavy cavalry pistols we
carried in our holsters.
One of the white burnouses, that indicated
their whereabouts, dlsap|>eared, the other
wavered a moment or two and then pulled
down to wait for bis comrades. Drawing
long breaths of relief, we turned forward
again only to find the starlit plain ahead of
us dotted with moving figures. I know I
gavo a g:»sp, and I beard Fabrino mutter
“Sacro bleu I” with a vigor that only a
Frenchman can attain.
Then, without words, wo bore away to the
right, where tbo horsemen not being so close
togctlier, thero seemed the better chance to |
escape. Wo could see them swinging tbeir i

my left shoulder, and then, using my spurs
for tbo first time and sending them home, [

On Sunday las' five canoes of Sitka Indians
arrived at the Auk village, just alxjve town.
It was tbo occasion of no little excitement
among the Auks, for the Sit kuns, as is usual
upou such visits, made a demaud of 12G
blankets os a remuneration for injuries u
member of their tribe had received two yean
ago while engaged in a cut aud slash with au
Auk Indian, in which the Sitkan got decid
edly tho worst of tho battle. The Auks rt\
fused to accede to the demand, the result of
which was a general go-as-you-please, in
which kniv.s took a prominent part as set
tiers of the dispute. During tho melee one of
the Auks received a severe cut on the hand,
upon which he set up a bowl demanding pay
from tbo Sitka ns for the wound ho had re
ceived ut their bands. It now being a stand
off, iu that members of l»oth triiies had re
ceived injuries one from the other, peace was
declared, providing the Auks would tender to
their visitors a grand potlatch (feast and
dance). The Auks, who are a weaker tribe
than the Sitkans, consented, ami accordingly
on Wednesday evening last tho ball was
opened. About one o a year theSitknns come
over ami run a bluff on their weaker neigh
bors, during which they make lovo to their
most buxom squaws and gorge themselves
until tho lardoi’s of their hosts aro well nigh
exhausted.
Upon tlieovcmng of the danco tbo whites
of Juneau were informed of the occasion and
requested to come as spectators. Tho band
boys, for the novelty of the tiling, determined
to serenado tho sons of tho forest and open up
their ball in a stylo that Mr. Lo had never
seen tho like of before. Accordingly the
band and white spectators formed tbo line
of march at tho outskirts of the village
and, to tho tune of “Prisoner’s Mope”
and “Marching Through Georgia,” marcbod
up through the village, coming to a halt in
front cf Chief Cow-ee’s residence. Although
tho odor of dried salmon and seal greaso
somewhat choked tbo players, tney managed
t,o finish tho strain. The old chief gave them
a warm welcome and extended to the band
tho great honor of leading forth the dancers,
who wero already costumed and ready. Tho
band again formed tbo lino of march, with
tbo war chief, Cow Deck, in front as drum
major, cud about twenty-fl vo Indian dancers,
hideously painted and dressed in costumes in
imitation of the bear, fox, eagle, swan, goose
and other animals, inters parsed throughout
with bits of bright coloring, bringing up tbo
rear.
Tbo procession camo to a stop In front of
tbo ball, a snako cabin tome 20 by 40 feet.
Upon tho floor inside, packed as close ns sar
dines in n*box, sat men, women and children.
Two rows of squaws occupy tbo front, who
in perfect tune and with powerful exercise of
their lungs sing a chorus to tho chant of the
dancers. At a given signal from the chief,
who acts as floor manager, the music strikes
up; tlien there follows a flourish of swan
wings, and tbo dancers commence singing
and dancing. Tho excitement gradually in
creases until they fairly howl, some barking
like dogs, some growling like bears. They
grin and gnash their teeth, and contort their
bodies in all shapes that their joints and
muscular development will admit of. Sweat
begins to oozo from every pore in their
bodies. Ono strives to outdo tho other, for ho
is considered the best dancer who can bowl
tho loudest, grin the fiercest and contort the
most. After tbo first set is finished a bucket
of water is passed around, from which each
dancer takes an enormous pull, all drinking
out of the bucket, and after about a minute's
rest tho same performanco above described
is gone through with.—Alaska Free Press.
Queer Saving Process,
For several months Pot r Horndyko, a
well known gohl miner of tho San Junn
country, ha9 been coming to Durango on
weekly visits, buying all tho beef hides bo
could find. As bo took tlio bides mountain-
wnrd, many wondered to what purpose they
were being put. A reporter met Mr. Horn
dyke mid bluntly nsked him whut be was do
ing with so many bides.
“Well, now tbut I have proven my theory
correct, I bavo no objection to telling your
readers of my doings.
“You see, all gold hunters kijpw that much
gold known as ‘float’ is washed away contin
uously. To catch this by any moans lias
alrca«ly proven impossible, although tried by
many different methods from tbo trail of
sluices and running stroums. Last spring I
luckily thought of a method which is rapidly
making mo a rich man.”
“How do you do it If* was impatiently
asked.
“Why, with bides. It is the simplest thing
you over saw. The Animas river tributaries
come from tbo l»est gold bearing sect ons in
the country. This being tbo case, much fine
or flower gold must puss down the stream,
Up abovo I arranged my plans by selecting a
point where the liver cuts directly to tbo
bank: hero I placed a liido on stakes, allowing
tho water to skim over it; the hair being
placed up stream, of course it caught up all
the “float” of all kinds. After leaving tbo
bide In this position for a week I took it out
and examined it thoroughly, but could dis
cover no trace of gold. Being determined to
give my experiment a thorough test, I cut up
several pieces and burned them in mi old pan.
(n penning the ashes 1 was rewarded with
ever $2 in gold. Since that time I have de
voted my time to getting every hide I could
buy, and now have fifty in place at various
points. On my clean ups, which 1 make on
each hide at tho end of two weeks, I realize
from GOO to $93 in pure gold, which I secure
by retorting the allies of tbo hides. "—Durango
