Gaines, of this city, was the recipi ent of some pretty, unique and valu able curios, which were sent her by her uncle, Mr. Willie Bobo, who is now in Carlsbad, New Mexico. These curios consisted of a rug, a bracelet and a handkerchief, the two former being of Indian manufacture, and the latter a product of Mexico. The rug was made by a Navajo In dian from Germantown wool. It is about two by three feet in size, fringed at each end. and a profusion of bright colors, which so tickle the fancy of an Indian, all ingeniously and harmoniously woven together by hand. These rugs are very expen sive, and an- considered as valuable relies even in the west. Mr. Bobo wrote that lie had seen them over a hundred years old. and that their col ors looked as bright and as fresh as when they were first made. The bracelet is of solid silver, hammered out and carved by hand. The designs are rather rudely en graved. though very pretty, and show the touch of a skilled hand, even with crude tools. The bracelet was purchased by Mr. Bobo from an Indian in the wilds of the reserva tion. and its appearance gives evi dence of its having been in use for a long time. The handkerchief is from Obi Mex ico. and is what is known as Mexican drawn work. It is very pretty and valuable, and is eagerly sought after by the ladies from all parts ot the country. Mabel's collection is a valuable one, and well may she be proud of her relics of the far West. The State Encampment.
