A REMARKABLE STORY.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
Major Simeon Whitley, OF Racine.
formerly an Indian agent to the Utes.
comprising what is now known here as
the White River Agency, Is now here,
and has taken q deep interest In all that
has t~rsnspirsd recently. IN connection
with those savsges. His impression Of
the character OF these Indians Is that on
the average they are more intelligent
and decent, and moro likely to yield to
the subduing influences OF Christianity
and civilization than almost any other
tribes Of western Indians. They are
superior to any other Indians In grati.
tude, affection and truthfulness. There
arc the same relative grades Of intsllt.
gence among them as among white PEG.
pie, and there arc always two parties
one for peace, quiet and obedience to
treaties with the government OF the
United States, and the other In favor OF
turbulence. war and plumber. In the
three years Of his agency, Major White.
ly says he never discovered any evil
dsnces OF dissatisfaction. or anything
but Q kindly feeling on their part, which
he attributes very largely to the fact that
he restored to them the squaw Susan.
the sister OF Oursy. who saved the lives
Of the Mesker women. While on his
way to the Hot Sulphur Springs, In
Middle Park, Colorado. he was overta-
ken by Q messenger from Gov. Evans,
who informed him OF the rescue Of Q
Ute squaw from the Arspahoes and Chey.
snnes by the officers Of the United States
army at Fort Collins, Colorado. These
Indians had captured this squsw In
some Of their raids. and. while I.
camped near the mouth OF the Cache IL
Poudrs. had determined to burn her at
tho stake. The commanding officer ct
Fort Collins. hearing Of this, took . dc.
tachmsnt OF troops. and BY alternate
threats and promises obtained her 70.
lease, after she had already been tied to
the stake and the Are lighted. This
squaw was forwarded to Major Whitley.
and, after her arrival at Hot Springs.
Col, was sent by him to her people. DO.
ing accompanied BY q. II. Curtis. the
Majors interpreter. and delivered TO
them after q journey across the western
portion OF Colorado into the border OF
Utah, to the camp Of the Indians on the
Snake river. where she was received with
every demonstration Of Joy BY the tribe.
Major Whitley gave this squaw the
name Of Susan, which she has borne
ever since. This was 0uray's sister.
who recently displayed 30 much kind.
mess and affection for the Mseksr NO.
men. aud through whose interpretation,
doubtless, their lives were saved. A 70.
markabls coincidence 10 this story 10
that the rescued Meekers came from
Greeley. which IL the identical spot where
Susan herself Was saved from burning
by the whites. Major Whitley recalls
these incidents with great interest.

THAT DIVIDING LIME.
what o. Being Desc Abeas shs
Natter and whss % Said Ahsus
by These Having % n Charge.

The matter Of the dividing line
between Union and Sierra Nevada con.
tinues to interest the people Of the Com.
stock. About the only thing which has
trickisd into the public ear from the
meeting yesterday afternoon ID the fact
that nothing particularly was accom-.
plishsd. Tho surveys we're submitted
and Q verbal statement OF facts made,
but nothing further.
disappears from both surveys. arst, that
there il not ground enough between the
stakes which mark the boundaries around
the patented Union ground for the
600 feet called for BY the patent; and.
second, that the north and south lines
Of the ground - patented do not lie par
allsi with those Of the mines further
south. Ground comprised in the ophir
was the frst located, and the locations
further south follow her parallels. The
question OF parsllslism 10 an important
one, a. Il sluices largely into the north
end bonanza when carried out.
Mr.. Hillyer. attorney for the Union.
ssys that he II busy nov In getting up 9
statement Of facts 10 the case which will
BE- submitted to Judge Whitman, sttor.
nsy for Sierra Nevada. for his approval.
After that tho Law points involved will
be considered. What the facts In the
case are will b made public In due time:
He states, however. that the principal
fact Of them all Il that but 8 feet are In
controversy and the other portions Of
the two mines are not 1t all involved In
the present matters OF difference between
them.
Il seems from the foregoing statement
Of Mr.. Hillyer that the ten feet short In
the patented ground are wsdgs-shaped
and that whsn the whole Il averaged up
IL makes bat eight feet. That these
eight feet arc valuable cannot be denied.
for they lie scross the north end
BONANZA. Still. Mr.. Hillyer Ii OF the
opinion that everything will b AMIGA
bly, settled and ~equitably adjusted be-
tween the companies. All parties are
psciacaily inclined. and where al are
anxious to do right, matters OF diner.
sncs are easily settled.
While the foregoing assurances are
given from headquarters. the people on
the street are talking and, - usual. take
both sides OF the matter. However In.
tsrssting these talks may b. no good
end can b subssrved By reproducing
them here. Those who are ct work In
an sndsavor to settle matters are OF the
opinion that everything will b satsfsc'
torily arranged by Saturday night.
