1t does seem that all surplus money
in The country is going INTO U. S. 4

true, but IL is 50 much taken from the
enterprise, business aud trade Of the

while there are a number of men VINO
can give good mortgage security for
il, at 6peI cent.

The Ute Commission.

DENVER, COL, November pa Los
P,nos special says: Ouray stated to the
commission that he is prepared to prove by
the testimony OF members of bis tribe that
secret emissaries from the Mormons have
been comforting with the White-Ri Utes,
attempting to. prolong the war by furnish
ing arms at points on the Grand river for
their use. He adds Although the informa-
ton is not sufficient to convict, be has little
doubt that he will be able. to establish the
connection OF the Mormons with the out
break. Ouray says he is informed that
overtures have been made to Jacks band
since the visit Of Adams TO the White-RiVer
Utes. and it is his belief that the Mormons
have been in communication with Jack for
long time. He states that he has con-
yinced the White-River Utes that they can
come before the commission and freely tes-
tify without fear Of being Immediately
placed in irons; that the Government is
disposed to deal justly With them; and
while the guilty must be punished, it will
be looked to that the innocent will not SUI
fer. He has notified them TO appear forth
with to, testify ip conformity with their
oath. If they refuse, 0uray- will call his
friends to- his standard at Uncampaghie,
waive the absence OF tue representatives
from the Whlte-Riyer tribes, treat with the
Government direct, and keep his rfien with
him, securing the punishment Of the Utes
at the discretion OF the Department.
