The production of these blankets is remarkable.

So well is the work done thai, the color does not fade, and the blankets may be said to be almost indestructible. What may be termed a second grade of blankets is made of Ger mantown yarn and the design is a zigzag streak resembling light ning. Some have a streak of prismatic colors highly esteemed by the Indians and purchasers, yellow, green, red and white^pre dominating. A beautiful blanket has a red ground and black, with white diamond shaped ornamon tation enclosing much smaller diamonds. Red is a favorite color, : and the red blankets as a rule cost most. Such blankets are; very thick and heavy, weighing from ten to twenty pounds and cost from $10 to $70. These are the blankets coin monly handled by the dealers in Santa P'e., Albuquerque and bos Angeles, but there is still another grade, the highest, which is not seen by tho tourist and the general public. It is mado up of special wool called bolleta, and imported from dealers in old Me*koo for this particular purpose. It costs the Indians from $7 to S a pound. In making these blankets the Indians take a long i timo. One beautiful specimen j had a year expended upon it, and j the designs in red, blue, green! and white were marvels of beauty ! whether from the Indian or Amor- j ir.in stnnHnrd Tliio Klotilraf u , bought lor $100 and resold lor double that sum.

The smallest is 12 by j 36 inches,the double 36x54 inch-' **s, tho next 1x5 feet and tho lar i gest 5x6.i feet. The most interesting method of buying blankets or baskets is to visit the Indians personally but, contrary to the general inpression, it is tho most expensive, as the Navajos are very clever at a bar gain. Tho dealers make occasion nl trips among them, and in many instances do not uso money but beads, There is a small, poor looKing Anon Dea l iound in t lie graves of the Pacific coast Indians to which these people attach a peculiar value.
