A REPRESENTATIVES, Of tho Rocky Noun

scene Of his recent extensive tour.
Tho News says The governor Is Of
the opinion that there was never 80
favorable prospect for tho future Of
Southern Colorado and the San Juan
country as Mt the present time. The
greatest difficulty tho miners are exc
perienciDg IL the lack Of facilities To
get their ore 10 market. There Is no
question about the value Of the mines.
The ore is there. But II requires cap

dead work. viz: 10 sink down until
they discover how to arrange their
levels and work TO the best advantage.
Whenever the practical miners succeed
in inducing II capitalist to make the
tedious trip over 10 the San Juan and
inspect the mines, they have no trouble
in inducing them TO invest. The mines
speak for themselves. In Governor
Ptkin's opinion, San Juan has glori-

lnhumanity to the Indians.

The history ofcivilization in Amcri-
ca is continuous series Of crimes
against the Indians, who, however
savage and brutal they may be, have
III nine times out Of ten been goudcd
into violence and then inhumanlv
punished for it. The recent case of
the Cheyenne Indians is a most con-
splcuous instance Of barbarity and
wrong. These Indians were first
crowded out Of their ancestral hunt
ing grounds by rapacfous white men.
Then tacy were removed to the Indian
territory, whose warm climate and
niasmatic atmosphere took Off large
number OF them and threatened to
eXtorminatc the whole tribe. Sup
plies were stolen by thicvish agents.
Fearing death, either by disease or
starvation, the Choyenncs formed the
desperate resolve Of breaking loose.
and despite tho efforts Of the United
States troops succeeded in making
their way to Nebraska, a thousand
miles away. There they were captur-
cd and put in Fort Robinson. The
weather became freezing, and the
Indians appealed for warm clothing
and for food for a month. Still no
aid was given them, and again they
determined to make a break. At
eleven o'clock at night they made a
sudden break, killed the guards with
weapons IN some way secured, and
made of, braves, squaws and pappoos-
es, to a ncighboring ridge. The troops
pursued them, killing nineteen war
flors, nine squaws and two children.
Dosultory fighting took place for
several days, both sides losing. At
last the troops charged the position.
A desperate fight onsucd. The Indians,
refusing to surrender and asking no
quarter, were destroyed almost to a
man. Several moro women and
children were killed. The few sur
vlvors declare they viii fight to the
death rather than die by cold and
starvation. Such is the latest exploit
OF the government. It is gratifying
to know that the blame Of this out
break is laid at tho door of tho GOV
ernment authorities, and that General
crooks has ordered an Investigation
to discover who is the wrongdocr.
these Indian troubles are q disgrace
to our civilization. Some radical
change is necessary.
