PUNTA ARENAS. Strait of Magellan ,
Sept.30 , IS'JS. ( Special Correspondence of
The Bee. ) "What do you do to keep out
the Indians ? " I asked a man who has charge
of 80,000 sheep in TIerra del Fuego the
other night. "Do ? " was the reply. "Why ,
wo shoot thorn. Sometimes wo catch them
and send thorn to the Catholic mission sta
tion on Dawson Island , ibut it Is cheaper to
kill them on sight. " I have heard other men
juake similar statements. The Ona Indians
of northern Tierra del Fuego are hunted like
wild boasts. They are shot down without
question when they ore seen near the white
establishments , and every t > lg sheep station
: lias Its men who keep a lookout for them.
No account is made of such as are killed.
There Is practically no law in Tierra del
Fuego , and , although both the Argentine
nnd Chill own portions of It , the greater
part is as wild as was the United States
at the time of Columbus.
Tbo Indians feel much the same as the
whites , they scruple not to send their arrows
Into them , nnd when they have the greater
force they are not afraid to attack. Only
a few months slnco two Chilian naval
olllcers wore surveying one of the smaller
Islands near hero. They were killed by the
Indians. The men , when found , had been
etrlppcd naked and In onu of them there
\vero twenty-five arrows with glass heads.
As a result of this warfare It Is difficult to
see much of the Onas outside the mission
elation on Dawson Island. I have met with
almost none In my travels through the
Strait of Magellan and along the northern
coast of Tierra del Fuego I passed one or
two boatloads near the Isle of Clarence on
the south of the strait and have seen some
of the balf-clvlllzed ones of the Catholic
mission. I have , however , talked with the
priests who are working among them and
from them and other parties have gathered
some new Information about these little-
known people. Ono of the Catholic fathers
has very kindly given ma snmo of his photo
graphs , but these represent them as better
clad than the average people of their kind.
Most of his pictures are of the Ona Indians ,
who are found In central and northern
Tierra del Fuego. They are the most numer
ous of the three tribes about Cape Horn ,
according to the Chilian estimates number
ing from 2,000 to 4,000 , the other two being
< he Yoghans , of whom there are only 500 ,
and who are found In the southern port ot
the Island , and the Aracalufcs , or canoe In
diana of the west , who aluo number 500 , and
who live almost entirely on mussels and
shell flsh.
Primitive Styles.
Nearly all of these Indians go naked.
Where they have , been captured by tha mis-
elonarlco you find thorn wearing stray gar-
mente , but there Is seldom a uemt-clvtltzetl
man * mong them who will not sell his whota
suit for a plug of tobacco , nor a woman who
would not In n driving enow storm take oil
nil she has on and give It for a piece of reil
cloth or a string of bright beads. The On.\s
of the wilds wear a strip of guanaco skin
over the shoulders , tied on by thongn. bound
over the chest. The men and women among
them have breech cloths , but the children go
naked , barring the coat ot whale or fish oil

With which they are liberally Bmoared. This
ell servos to keep out the cold. Such as I
have seen have shown no sign ot shivering ,
aUhough they live in the latitude of Labra
dor , and I , with my winter flannels and over
coat , am none too warm.
These Indians have been painted by trav
elers as wretched and miserable in the ex
treme. I do not find them HO. They are
sleek , fat and apparently well fed. Those I
caw farther up In the Magellans had a per
petual grin on their faces , and both the
Onas and the Yaglmns , are , I am told , good
naturcd. In traveling along the shores of
Tierra del Fucgo you como every now and
then to an Ona bouse. It Is merely a hole
In the ground with a wind break of branches
or trees bent down and tied together over it.
This hole la about three feet deep and Is
just big enough to contain the Indian and
his family. Tney use it chiefly rit night ,
crawling In nnd cuddling up together with
their dogs Tying about nnd over them for
warmth. Such fires as they make are for
cooking nnd are In front of , and outside , the
sleeping hole. They do not like to stay more
than a night or to In the same place , as
they have on idea that the devil , or evil
spirit , is after them , and they must inovo
on or he will catch them.
The Onas are of a good size , though not
the giants that some travelers have painted
them. The men arc , as a rule , about six
feet tall and the women about flvo feet flve.
The Yaghans are much smaller and the
Alacalufes ore between the two. Were it
not for their stomachs the Onas might bo
said to bo well formed. They arc straight ,
deep-chested and muscular. The women
when young are plump and well-rounded ,
with fine necks and breasts. They are all ,
however , great gluttons , and they sometimes
gorge themselves so- that their stomachs are
stretched llko a drum head and extend out
Into pot-belllcdness. Their skins are lighter
than those of most of our Indians. They
have high cheek bones , flat noses and
straight , dark eyes , with rather full , sensual
lips. Their hair Is straight ; It is black , and
with the men is singed close at the crown ,
forming a sort of tonsure. The women let
their hair grow and it hangs down over
their shoulders. The men do not begin to
have beards until late In life , and as they
do not like to appear old they usually pull
out the stray hairs on their faces. An Ona
seldom has a beard before he 'is 35 or 40.
Tlioy Uut Putrlil Mrnt.
The Onas do not apparently care whether
their food Is fresh or not. Before the ad
vent ot sheep farming In TIerra del Fucgo
they lived on flsn. fungi and guanacos.
Guanacos are wild animals which look like
a cross between the deer and the camel ,
and are of the size of a very large sheep.
The Onis run them down with their dogs
and follow them also on foot. They are
very fast runners and take steps , so an
Argentine man -who lived on the Islands
says , six feet apart. When they kill more
game than they can cat they bury the left
overs In the bed of a stream and como back
a week or eo later and eat them. This Is
especially so of the sheep they steal of tbo
whites. They drive them off In flocks of
500 and more , get them away Into the
forest and have a big feast. They then
break the legs of the sheep remaining and
drown them In some deep stream , leaving
them there until the chase of tbo farmers
Is over , when they go back for another fat
but now well-rotted feed. They eat the
decayed flesh of stranded whales and fish
which they find upon the shore , but , as a
rule , do not go out in canoes to fish , as do
the Yaghans and the Alacalufes. They
also make traps to catch game. They use
only bows and arrows In war and for hunt
ing. The arrows were originally tipped
with flint , 'but ' now they are pointed with
pieces of glass jnado out of the broken
whisky and wine bottles thrown out by the
steamers passing through the Strait of 'Ma
gellan. The Ona women weave very pretty
rush baskets of a bowl chape. They cure

am told , have no Great Spirit or God , like
our Indians. Just what their religion IB I !
am unable to learn. They believe in polyg
amy , one man having several wives , which
he buys of their fathers at as low a price as
he can.
Aliont the Ynfflinnn.
Before the whites came hero there were
something llge 3,000 of the Yaghan Indians.
They were described by sea captains as a
healthy , hearty , naked , savage race. The
English established a. mission In south
TIerra del Fuego and persuaded them to put
on clothes. It is claimed that with the wearIng -
Ing of clothes came consumption and pneu
monia , and that this has reduced their num
ber to less than 500. The head of the mis
sion among these Indians Is Rev. Thomas
Bridges , who has a. big ehecp farm in
the south. He has an Indian settlement
(
nhero the people live in houses and where '
they farm on a small ticale. The Information
I have about these Yaghans comes almost
cntlrefy from Mr. Bridges. He says they j |
live in groups of about thirty families. They
are not cannibals , as has been charged , and
they do not cat raw meat. Their principal
food consists of molusks , fish , sea calves , .
birds , strawberries and fungi. Their women !
cook these things In different ways. They
cook birds by placing them on the coals and
putting redhot stones inside of them. They
bake eggs by breaking a small hole in one
end and then standing them upright In the
embers before the fire , turning them round
and round to make them cook evenly. They
cook and cat the blood of animals , but , as a
rule , cat tholr vegetables raw. The women
are the flshcrs and the men do the bunting.
The men make canoes , but the women piddle -
dlo them. They are good boatmen and are
better and more fearless swimmers than the
men.
men.One
One of the wonderful things about the
Yaghans Is thrir language. With no means
of writing , they have a , vocabulary of about
40,000 words. Mr. Bridges , who has made a
Yaghan-EngllBh dictionary , elves this as
the number. The Eskimo use , It is said ,
leas than 10,000 words , and Shakespeare's
vocabulary contained only 24,000 words.
There are only 7,200 different words In the
bible and In all ot Milton's poems you will
find less than 18,000 worde. I take these
figures from J l n R. Spears' book , recently
published , oa "Gold Diggings ot Capo
Horn. "
Tlerrn del Fueuo In 1808.
The Tierra del Fuego of the geographies
and encyclopaedias is a dreary land of snow ,
and Ice , of glaciers and rocky wastes. Let
mo tell you what the real TIerra del Fuego
is. My Information comes from what 1
have aeen and from what I have learned
from the men who lived upon It and who
have visited nearly evtry part of It. It Is
Important to know , for It Is one of the
bones of contention between Chill and the
Argentine Republic , and In the war which
eeems now imminent It may be redtvlded.
As It Is , Chill owns tbo lion's share of it ,
having quietly surveyed the coast and gob
bled up the Strait of Magellan before the
Argentine knew what she was about. The
Argentines today think that the Island
should belong to them , but rather than
have a war they have conceded all to Chill
west of a line running south of Cape Virgins ,
at the eastern entrance to the Strait ot
Magellan. The result Is they own only a
footing on the archipelago and only a small
sllc of TIerra del Fucgo proper.
The archipelago ot TIerra del Fuego contains - '
tains as much land as Kansas. It is wider
from fast to west than from Cleveland to
Chicago and from north to south it Is
longer than from Now York to Boston. The
archipelago Is made up of hundreds of
nooJed Islands , mostly mountainous , but a
few of which have valleys and plains covered
with rich erasi on which iheep and cattle |

quickly grow fat. The largest islands of the j
archipelago are Onlaln , or King Charles
'
Southland , or Tierra del Fuego proper ;
Desolation Island , which lies near the' western - i
ern entrance to the straits , and along which !
I coasted ifor miles on my way here ; the
lele of St. Ives , Clarence island and Dawson
island , a little farther to the eastward , and
the large Islands of 'Hoste ' and Navarino on
the aouth. Cape Horn Itself Is on one of the
little Islands at the bottom of tbo archi
pelago. The chief Island Is TIerra del
Fuego proper. Jt is half as big as Ohio and
It now supports hundreds of thousands of
sheep. The best lands of the Chilian part
of It have been taken up within the last
few years under lease from the Chilian gov
ernment. The Argentine portion Is not so
well settled owing to the difficulty of access
and the uncertainty as to 'boundary. '
riuliiN nnd 1'niiipiiB.
Still from what I can learn the Argentine *
have some of the best lands. Nearly all of
the southern and eastern portions of the
Island are plains , wide stretches of moorland
much like Scotland , covered with grass ,
which In summer is green , but now In winter
Is turned to a reddish-brown. The other
parts are made up of mountains , valleys
and plains. Around tbo west and south
coasts there is a rim of mountains , many
of which rlso almost precipitously from the
water , and which 'probably gave Darwin the
ground lor his statement that there was not
a level acre of ground upon the whole
Island. The plains are generally in the
Interior. ( Running midway between the
north and south across the country there is
an elevated tableland and beyond this to the
north a second plain. Iho grasses of the
plains are rich , but they are so largely
taken up toy ground rats that ll takes from
three to Dvo acres to support one sheep.
These rats burrow In the earth , filling It
with holes like a prairie-dog town. They
make it impossible to drive over the plains
with -wagon and horseback riding has to
be at a slow pace. Cattle are the only
things that will drive th& rats away , and
they are often uaed to tramp the ground
for this purpose.
Denne Vesetntlon.
It seems queer to think of a dense vegeta
tion in TIerra del Fuego. One might almost
as soon believe that grass could be raised
on nn Iceberg. The truth Is that the winter
climate of Tierra del Fuego is milder than
that of Canada , The lowlands are seldom
covered with snow for more than a day erse
so at a time , though you are In sight of
snow and glaciers on the mountains all the
year around. The climate varies In differ
ent parts , but It Is generally cool , cloudy
end windy. The- worst feature 4s the wind ,
which at times blows for days at a stretch
nnd sends the chilly air through your bones
in corkscrew curves. TIerra. del Fuego Is In
the latitude of Labrador , but BO Is a large
part of England nnd Holland , and I im
agine that barring these winds , "TIerra del , "
as they have nicknamed th Island , has win
ters more like those of northern Europe
ihan Labrador. The vegetation Is rather
llko that of the temperate than the frigid
rone. The mountain slopes up to about 1.000
feet are walled with a growth of trees , ferns
and moss eo thick that 4t Is almost Impossi
ble to get through It. Upon the sides of the
Steeper mountains the trees , Instead of going
straight up , crawl upon the earth , so that a
tree with a. trunk as thick as your waist
Is not more than three feet high , but spreads
over a large tract of ground. This Is proba
bly duo to the mountain enow , which presses
the trees dawn to the ground and still keeps
them warm enough not to Impede their
growth.
And what kinds of trees do they have
down here at the tall-end of creation ? The
most common is the beech. There are vast
forests of antarctic beeches In Chilian
"Tiepra del , " the trees of which are eighty
fet tall and six feet thick. They make
excellent lumber , and I am told some are
now being cut down and shipped to Huenoa

Ayres. One of the beech tree species Is of
our evergreen variety , and another Is the
common beech , much like those of our cen
tral states. There are also trees of the
magnolia species. There are twenty-five
different varieties of shrubs and bushes in
TIerra del Fuego , nnd wild gontpbcrrles and
wild raspberries. Wl3 ! strawberries of greit
slzo and delicious flavor are found In their
season , and there are alf < J wild grapes and
wild celery. Ferns are to be seen almost
everywhere , and one man says that the
tree fern Is Indlgenoas to certain parts of
the country. The p'necp farmers Tnl e cab

Xlniiilllic of ( lie South.
TIerra del Fuego has been called the Klon
dike of South America. So far , however ,
there Is no justification of the term. There
Is pfenty of gold , but up to now no large
quantities have been discovered and that
found Is difficult to mine. The gold Is all
placer gold. Some of It is in the ehapo of
nuggets as largo as marrowfat peas , but the
greater part of It Is In leaflets or scales.
The most of the mines are in the southern
part of TIerra del Fuego proper nnd the
Islands adjacent. The gold la found on the
Ehoro , the clay containing It running down
under the water and being exposed only at
low tide. The gold Is covered with ( thlnglo
and sand , which must be removed before
bedrock Is reached. At tbo Slogget bay dig
gings , for Instance , thezo are six feet of sand
and gravel above tbo bed rock. This has to
bo ahovclcd off , and when the tide comes In
the goMbearlng clay Is again covered. Al
most similar conditions exist at the washIngs -
Ings on the island of Navarlno and else
where. From what I can learn hero there
are only a few places where gold has been
found in any quantity , and these are noth
ing In comparison with the great gold de
posits of our western states. There are two
or three companies who work sluice boxes
ith machinery , pumpingr the water from the
sea and gathering the gold dust with ma
chinery on coposr plates. The most of the
mining , however , in spasmodic and uncer
tain. The territory Is extremely difficult to
reach and the prospecting IB coupled with
such hardships and expenses in the way of
getting supplies that I would advlso the
American miner to stay at homo.

Donald B. McDonald , aged OS , was
married at Nlles , Mlchi , October 20 ,
to Mrs. Maggie A. O'Hcgan , aged 8r.
t The aged bridegroom was married three
times In Canada and Is the father of fourteen
children. Ills bride has been married twice
before , once in Ireland nnd the second tlmo
In Now York nnd is the mother of ten chll- '
' dren. The groorrs son. Justice John R.
McDonald officiated In tying the knot in the
j presence of great grandchildren nnd grcat-
1
great-grandchildren of both bride and groom.
Mrs. Augustus Thlstlewood of Providence ,
It. I. , has been married six times. At her
last wedding four of her former husbands
were present and acted as ushers. The flfth
sent his regrets nnd a present and an Invi
tation to the bride and groom to spend the
honeymoon ut his house. The average term
of servitude for these husbands was ton
monthsj all the dlvprcos were granted upon
the application of the lady , without opposi
tion. The dissolution of matrimonial ties
has been duo to the tact and diplomacy of
the lady , who convinced her several spouses
that they were mlsmatcd.
In onu respect the brides of the year draw
ing to n close have aroused comment never
before perhaps calld forth In any one Bea
con. So far ns physique has been concerned ,
they are a group of goddesses , whoso stature
In several Instances emphasized the foot
that the bridegrooms , In the matter of
Inches , fell considerably short of Olympian
proportions. Miss Catharine Duer. the favor
ite of nil her bet. who married Clareneo
Mackay last spring , was a young Juno , who
overtopped her husband by an Inch or two.
Mrs. Ocorgo Vandorhllt , another Juno bride ,
is taller than her husband. The young
duchess of MnrlborouKh , by the way , had
the better of the duke In inches , as well as
In millions. And now another Englishman ,
Harold Daring , who has just married Mltis
Marie Churchill , will also look up to his wife
In inoro nuys than one. So it has gona
until people are beginning to raise their eyebrows -
brows and wonder where this Inverse pro
portion is to end.
The eccentricities of J. Sergeant Cram' *
marital venture are the subject of perplex
ities and paragraphs In Now York. Mr.
Cram la a Tammany official , who , after a
long bachelorhood , which was regarded as
lee confirmed a habit to bo dropped , saw fit
to bo married. His bride was a young widow ,
one of the three beautiful daughters of Sam
uel Iludd , and that quite accounted for
Cram's becoming a benedict. The event took
place September 2 , hut it was not published
until a week or so ago. Mr. Cram was then
in Europe and It was supposed on his wet'
ding tour , when It was discovered that h
was accompanied , not by his wife , but by hJs
sister and that his bride had taken up her
abode at a hotel eo privately that nobody
knew it until his return on the Umbrla was
near , when she paid her bill and left the
hotel. I'robably this is nobody's business
but their own , but people will talk. After all ,
their way of celebrating a wedding Is not
absolutely unique.
