NEW YORK, Oct 2$ $-The uneaslness
for the supply of water increases. Com
missioner Thompson, of the public works
says the supply in the reservoirs will not
hold out longer than ten days, unless re-
plenished by rain. The main pipes are
kept filled to insure ample supply for

and at the same time furnish manufactnr-

continue work. The people are compelled
to abandon baths. Wells, forgotten since
the introduction of Croton water are be-

southern trail we soon came on to the
Clarks Fork trail leading from the


TO the Clark Forks mines. We passed a
large pack train bound for the mines
with provisions for winter. We under
stand some twenty miners are represent
ing claims, there having,as the miners say,
"struck it rlch.'' Clarks Forks being
located on the Grow Indian reservation, a
rapid development of the mines cannot
be expected. Negotiations for a treaty
are pending. and if settled satisfactorily,
the liyeliest mining camp on record is

Wishing to visit an Indian agency l ac-
cepted the kind invitation Of Major Kel-
ler and took the stage for the Grow In
dian Agency. We left the stage at Still
water ninety miles down the Yellow
stone for Bozeman, crossed the river and
rode in an ambulance fifteen miles up
the Saltwater river to the agency, which
is beautifully situated IN the valley of the
Rose Bud Creek, branch of the Still
water. Major Keller undoubtedly has
the confidence of the Crow Indians, who
are comfortably living around the agency
in houses and tepees. Although it re-
quiles years of constant work and pa
thence to enlighten the Indian ON farming,
they have accomplished much in this
direction. The Grow Indians are rich IN
ponies and lands. Messrs. Barstow, Judd
and DR.. Willard associates with Major
Keller, are all gentlemen rarely found in
as a secluded spot as the Grow Indian
reservation. I will write more from

much more healthy, is desirable for
those who stay the year round, and
with high culture can be brought up

ture will greatly injure the crop. but
a remedy is at hand. The turning in
in and decaying of vegetable subs
stances in the soil, in sufficient guam

which is a powerful solvent OF the
soil. Irrigation, as it is practlced
in California, would be great help
to Florida, and we think the time is
near when it will ''pay" TO introduce
it here.
But are there no failures in this
business; no grumblers2 Certainly
there are, plenty OF them; but to
prove that Florida is not alone In this
respect we will quote a passage
from Peter Henderson: thousands
of acres are annually planted in New
York State that in three years after

dreams of these sanguine gentlemen
forever dissipated.' Every failure
has its lesson and will serve to stim>

New York, while L was absent from here, in
the southern portion OF the State, aud
opened by my representative, who gave It
to the publisher Of the Banner. When
was informed of the contents Of the same
the paper had gone to press. else l would
not have had so much publicity given to a
private communication. l also wish to add
that so fer this season my fruit has gone
through in better condition by the Mallory

line, with the exception OF what has been
shipped by the steamship City OF Augusta.
Capt. NickersOn stores the fruit on his ship
where it have plenty of live, fr~sh air,
aud Il goes to New York IN perfect order.
II Gen. S8TTel would see that all the cap
t4ins OF his line store the fruit In ike man
ner, We would hear no more complaints OF
fruit arriving at its destination in bad order.
The letter you publish from Maxfield Il Co.
in refutstion Of the one written to me aud

The other ships OF that line. 1 am satisfied
that the Ocean Steamship Company can

they will only give 1t the proper stowsge, for
they have better facilities to do this work
than any other line. Yours respectfully,
