both Of whom are ~ yet unidtnti6ed, Al
though one is supposed 10 be- sposing
character called "Casino Jack" Who's, right
q .me is unknown. The bodies we're burned
beyond all recognition, and the only clue
leading to the identity of Jack wa the fact
that he slept in the stone shell under. which
he was found the night before.
The work of rebuilding goes on with
astonishing rapidly. Bricks being laid in
the wallis Of two new bank buildings. and
several other lots are being cleared of. pre-
paratory to the erection of five brick stoses
Both bar Ks opened to-day but, contrary
to expectations, no run was experiences,
aud nothing more than ordinary business
was done. Heavily loaded freight teams
have been arriving almost hourly since yes
terday. The streets are beginning to look
like early days in The hills. Nearly every
foot Of ground on Main street is covered
either with tents or frame structures. The
bank building. will be finished in thirty
days, and BY thu: time the burnt district
will be built up in good shape. Within ten
DAYS nearly all goods on the road will BE- in
town, completely averiing danger of suffer
ing among homeless people. Sufferers are
bearing their losses very cheerfully, and no
di .tiuciion is made between the laborar aud
the merchant. Lots on Main and Sherman
stree,s are being leased for one, hundred
hours for IS. many dollars. All goods, are
sold al former prices, and most business is
done on credit for the present. All dam

The late uprising in western Colorado is
adding another bloody chapter to the his
tory Of our exposed frontier, which would
never have been chronicled had the country
been given a military force sufficient to
hold in check the unruly tendencies of Its
savage wards. Major Thornburg's fatal
encounter in the mountain pass, looks like
The prelude to . season of hos.ilities which
will require a large expenditure Of money
and blood to subdue. The Utes are a
hardy, brassand unyieldiug class Of sava-
ges. Their reservation extends along the
western side Of Colorado, its eastern
boundary, being the rich silver miaiug
region Of the Colorado mountains. The
San Juan district is surrounded on the
north, west and south BY the reservation,
vitAAite chapnel of communication With the
world hroughthe mountsin passes to the
eastward. Thornburg's battle occurred on
MAX creek. q small tributary of White
river. on the northern edge Of the reserva.
ton, and some twenty miles from the White
river agency. where Agent Meeker. his
family and employees were surrounded by
the hostiles at last accounts. At this agency
there are eight hundred Indians. One hun.
dred and fifty miles southwsstwardly is the
Los Pinos agency, about the he.dwaters of
small tributaries 10 the Gunnison river,
where are coneregated two thousand Los
Pinos Utes, and neal Animas City, in the
extreme southern portion Of the reserva.
ton, are nine hundred and thirty.four
southern Utes. This gives an aggregate of
thirty. seven hundred and thirty. four Ute
Indians upon this reservation, divided into
three bands, closely allied. Fifty miles
westward, in Utah, is the reservation of the
Uintah UteA. numbering four bundled and
thirty people. Thus far. open .hostilities
have been confined 10 the band Of eight
hundred At the White river agency, but
their Los Pinos and Animas allia6h have
been exhibiting bad signs for years and it
would be an easy matter for them to catch
the infection and take the war path.
