the finest specimens of gold quartz
ever seen in that country. The pieces
of rock found contain from one-eighth
to one-half gold. Miners from Colo
RADIO and California say they never
saw specimens of equal value in that
country. The quartz was obtained
from party of five who had been in
the hills since last March, but were
obliged to come out as the Indians
were so troublesome, and they could
not safely remain. They say there
are miles of ledge like the specimens
they brought.

New York, June 6.-W. II. Talcott,
buyer for the silk department of II. b.
Claflin & Co., to-day, was arrested on
u warrant issued by the U. S. Com
missioner, based on an affidavit made
by U. S. District Attorney Bliss. The
affidavit sets forth that Talcott did
knowingly buy and aid in selling silk
goods which had been smuggled.
Talcott was held in bail for $40, 900.
Bliss says Talcott purchased S4OO. 600
worth of silk from one of the alleged
smugglers. Lafayette Graaf
Valentine Gleason and Charles Raj
ston, two uf the alleged accomplices of
the notorious Pettis in his extensive
bond forgeries, were arrested at the
suit of the New York Guaranty and
Indemnity Company. The action is
for the recovery of $75, 900, advanced
to Ralston ou forged bonds of the
Buffalo, New York and Erie Railroad
Company.
The Park Bank acknowledges the
receipt of $4,000 from the Treasury
Department in Washington, in due
course of business. Whether the
package is the one reported to be lost,
or whether the original has been re-
placed, is not known.
On the petition of Henry J. Jewett,
receiver of the Erie Railway Company,
Judge Donohue has granted an order
empowering the receiver to pay the
taxes and charges upon and to work
the coal mines referred to in his petit
ton; to perform any lawful contracts;
to sell the securities referred to, where,
in his judgment, the interests of all
parties will be promoted thereby.

that such discoveries have been rare,

Red Cloud said to the Commissioner:
We are going home to-day, and the

good by, and we also want to ask
about pay for those who came with
me-" Interpreters and squaw men,
The commissioner said there was
something about the men who came
along, that he would rather not say;
that they had come on their own ac-
count, and had been a source of
mischief ever since they had been
here. He said: "They have led you
into bad practices, insisted on your
leaving the quarters assigned you, and

to pay them for that kind of service

Little Wound said he was not in

had come here on the invitation of the
President, and expected to go home
with horses, equipments and guns,
so that their people would receive
them gladly; he said his people would
laugh at them if they returned with
out them.
The Commissioner said he would
not give them guns if he could, and
had no power to give them the other
things.
Washington, June THE visit of
the Sioux to Washington to negotiate

proved failure and the Indians left

are aprehended between them and the
whites who may enter their country

estimated by the agents that the Sioux
can muster from three to five thou

rifles, and the remainder with bows
and arrows. The government in the
meantime will endeavor to prevent
