Delaware Reservation" Land apprais-
ed according to treaty. The lands lie
in the fertile valley Of the Kansas

They are supposed to be the bestin the

thousand acres to be sold on the 18th
of November, not one is said to be IN
ferior to the bestin the valley Of the
Miami or the Scioto.
Although the land is of such immense
value, the body of it has been appraised
at only n dollar and twenty-five
cents per acre; the lowest sum which.
the treaty would allow, and the highest
at twelve dollars. And yet, adjacent
TO Leayenworth, ten thousand dollars
have been offered for a Government
title to ten acres. The average APP
p-raisement, per acre, is said to be one
dollar and seyenty-fFe cents.
SPECTATORS some time ago intended
to enter upon lle Reservations :"
off a town called "Leayenworth. =
The lots, $500 in number, are APP
praised from 50 to SO each, only, by
those appointed officially, to fix the
valuation. The average is about $3.50
a lot.
The sale will be held in the Fort
Associations of spectators, relying
upon the generalignorance concerning
the value of the lands, have completed
their arrangements tobuy upthe whole
tract.
The Department, it is said, desires
the sixty or eighty settlers, who have
: made actual Improvement in the town
{ to have their lots at the appraisement
the other lets to be sold at their rea
5 value. So with the lands. The Della.
n ware Indians own the lands, which are
to be sold for their benefit.
