day filing up slopes and air shafts with clay The
fire still burns fierce ever. he went within

sulphurous flames were ascending twenty or
thirty ieet The roar from the burning
mine was something terrific. Dense volumes
OF smoke continue to ascend from several air
shafts. No adequate idea can be formed OF the ter
ribe disaster. The computed loss OF property Is
enormous, but is nothing in comparison with the
loss OF lie. All the woodwork in the mine Is
burned, and experienced miners say 1t Is one mass
OF burning ruins below.
OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE INQUEST.
The causes that led to the disaster are not, as
stated, owing to the strike or the miners, but to
powder having been permitted TO be used In
one OF the beds worked by miner named
Robert Mcleod who insisted upon using 1t

A Commission Appointed to Ask Them

A Commission Appointed to Ask Them
to Give Up Their Hunting Lands In
Nebraska.
WASHINGTON, May Is, 1873.
1t has heretofore been stated that COM
mission mas been appointed to the Sioux.
The objects are stated in the letter OF
the Secretary OF the Interior to the Com
missioner Of Indian Affairs, which has just been
written. Referring to the alleged violations of the
sixteenth article OF the treaty concluded with the
various bands Of the Sioux Indians April 20, 1868,
he says:-.The progress OF population westward has
already rendered it desirable that the territory
embraced in this article be no longer considered to
be unceded Indian territory, and that 1t be sur
veyed according to our system OF government sur
veys and made accessible to homestead and pre-
emption settlement, as wen as to sale to persons
ger the exclusion OF white people from the
settlement OF this country will necessarily occasion
great complaint and provoke much feeling among
the inhabitants of the State Nebraska To prevent
the difficulties here referred to and to remove
complaints already made upon this subject have
concluded to appoint commissioners charged with
the duties OF treating with the various bands of
Sioux lndians-parties to the treaty OF 1S6S-tOr a
REIMBURSEMENT of all the privileges as reserved to
said Indians by the sixteenth article OF the treaty
aforesaid ana for the restoration OF the territory
therein embraced, without enclmbrance to the
public domain
The Secretary says that. in consideration OF the
eleventh article II have to remark that white set
Elements near to, If not within, this territory, and
upon which there was reserved to the Indians the
right 10 num- SO long as tne Duna0 may range
thereon in such numbers to Justify the chase, in
my opinion renders it exceedingly hazardous TO
permit this privilege to be longer exercised.
"l.arge herds OF cattle, owned by settlers on our
frontier are now ted, II not upon, yet very near to
the territory assigned to the Indians as hunting
grounds. TO permit this privilege OF hunting on
the part Of the Indians is likely to difficulties
and outrage between white settlers and those
gagged in the hunting expeditions
~ deem IL, therefore, of very great importance
to the peace OF the country to the security
Of settlements on the frontier and to the
welfare OF the Indians, that the latter
should be induced to relinqush these hunt
ing privileges" The Commission WILL there
lore be charged with the duty Of endeavOring to
procure the agreement OF the Indians to renquish
the privilege here referred to- 1t Is probably i'm
portant that the present agency selected for
elsewhere. The Commission WILL therefore,
be charged with the duty OF inquring whether such
location should be made. Specific instructions
have been given to carry the above programme
into efect, and also with view to acquire part OF
the Crow lands.
