taken by the Ute Commission, to their
old haunts on White river near the military
camp. The Indians say they will on no con-
ditions whatever stay on the new reservation.

the military camp on White river, and re-
ports that present indications portend an out

gia or southern California or elsewhere,

staple one-dealing in prime necessity,
competition has SO reduced the profits that 1
can but just live with severe economy

certain community of interests, such as would
naturally develop itself among number of
resolute men of integrity, aspiring views and
some capital, since no wholly penniless man
should be admitted"
