rigid enforcement of regulations to keep them
all upon reservations.
The Secretary says that the Sioux Nation is
almost completely surrounded by tribes that
are really friendly to the Government and at
the same time bitterly hostile to the Sioux. If
these friendly tribes could be literally supplied
with improved firearms and ammunition, the
present supremacy of the Sioux might, in
few years, be destroyed with but little aid from
the army.
The Secretary refers to the lawless condition
of the Indian Territory, and says If the Oc-
mulgee Constitution with the proposed amend
ments is not adopted at the next meeting of
the Indian Council, and Congress shall not
deem 1t advisable to erect territorial govern
ment within the Territory, he trusts that
necessary legislation may be obtained to at
least provide for the organization of court
or courts therein, under the jurisdiction, so
Tar as the appointment of judicial officers is
concerned, of the General Government.
The Secretary invites the attention of Con-
Sress to a request from the colony of Men
nonites. residing in Southern Russia, for
modification of the existing land laws in GER
tain particulars, to enable them to settle upon
our public domain in a compact colony. The
entire area they will probably require will be
about 500,e acres.
The Secretary notices the business of the
Land, Pension and Education Bureaus rail-
way and geological surveys; the census, and
other subjects coming within the range of
his department.
The report of the Secretary of the Interior
comprises, besides various other matters, the
annual State reports of all railroads in which
the Government is interested. The Secretary
also refers to the Yellowstone National Park,
urging Congress TO take early steps to protect
this park from the vandalism of visitors, and
have its boundaries surveyed and located, as
many persons desire to settle upon lands con-
iguous Their to.

amount of money that will be required
TO commence operations at the Kellogg
mines, and get everything in good
working order2 Do you think two hum
dred thousand dollars would be suf-
ficient, and prove a good investment?
DT. Bell certainly do think that two
hundred thousand dollars would be quite
sufi1cient to make good commence
ment with, as with that sum the owners
could procure their eupolas, smelling
furnaces and build their internal rail-
roads under ground, and purchase
everything necessary for the due prose-
cution Of the work.
RepoTteT-Have you made any assays
OF the products of these mines, and, if
so, will you be kind enough to give the
results Of these assays aud your opinion
regarding them?
DR.. Bell will do go with the great
est pleasure. / have made assays of the
product of these mines, both chemically
and by smelling, and / generally found
FULLY thirteen per cent. of silver, besides
the lead. I wish also to inform you that
all the refuse of what is known as the
supposed quartz is simply oxide of zinc
and lead, which can be extensively
brought into use, and will make the best
paint ever made in the world. This
"refuse' alone would pay all the ex-
penses of working and operating the
mines, even if their owners were to
throw away all the silver and lead they
took out of the mines. In regard
to the Kellogg mines / have only to say
to you that / consider the metal which
has been taken already from them to be
the finest in the world. This is not my
opinion alone, for can assure you that
when specimens were sent from these
mines over to England to be assayed,
the assayists thought that some kind of
trick was being played on them-the
metal was 50 fine. They could not be-
lieve that any mine on the continent
of America could produce such very
fine metal. The fact, however,
is noted in Owens survey
of eleven counties in the State of Ar
kansas. That is all / can say about
these wonderfully productive and valu-
able mines, except that / am given to
understand that work will be COM
menced on them early in the ensuing
month, and then, Mr.. Reporter, you
will hear and learn more about them.
The reporter thanked DIR. Bell for the
valuable information he had impaired
to him, and took his leave, with a cor
dial shake of the hand and kind invi-
tation to call again.
