Dawson

This county has an area OILS 900 square
miles, which is larger than many states
in the Union, and it is a liberal estimate
when we say that one half Of it, white
population .o not know why it was
named Dawson, and many Of those who
do, have no idea OF the manner OF man
after whom il was named. a. Dawson
was a Scotchnnn and came to 81. Louis
from Edinburgh. Through thcinfiuence
offriends he secured L position as 4 clerk
for the American Fur company. His
first experience was at Fort Pierre,
thence lie went to old Fort Clark. above
Bismarck. III Il short time lac took
charge OF the Benton post, supcrcedin@
Culbertson, (Jack Culbert,on's father.
He afterwards became owner OF the
Benton trading post. He became q
member of the American Fur company,
pierre Choteau, Jr., 4 Co.. 1t will be
seen that Choteau county also was named
after a member Of the American Fur
company.
Dawson was y hard drinker and was a
helpless invalid for years previous to his
death, which III a manner accounts for
his extreme filth. Hc returned to Scot
land where he died, detested by himself
and every II surrounding him.
The members Of the American Fur
company were Choteau, Culbertson,
Dawson, Kip, Mckinzie and peacott.
These we believe We're All the head men.
None are living now.
The company sold out III 1861 toa COM

company, which lasted only IA year,
when Durfee X Peck came into power.

INDIAN PROGRESS.

There is a vast difference in the inch nation toward civilization of various Indian tribes and even among those whose circumstances are similar. It af- lords additional evidence of the correct ness of the theory of evolution, and the survival of the Attest As an instance If the progress Of single tribe among many in New Mexico, the Albuqurque Journal gives the following interesting facts. Ii says the Indians ofthe Laguna pueblo are showing themselves ready 70 take upon themselves the du- lies of cItizens, although they are not ye, admitted to the rights and privileges of such. They are about to organize, at their pueblo, company under the gen eral militia law Of the territory. Walter Mormon will be chosen captain, George II. Pratt lieutenant. Ths IS very in- couraging sign of the progress in civili- zation ofthese Indians. They are most in advance Of any other Indians in the United States, excepting those of the so- called five civiliEed tribes. They support themselves by agriculture and sheep raising, and are gradually adopting the ways of civilization.

Dos Cabezas Small Change.


 Mrs. A. E. Fay, wife of the editor of the Gold Note, died suddenly of heart disease at Dos Cabezas on the afternoon of March 3lst.
 NIT. Wrughtel has commenced work in earnest on the Tiger mine, iD Wood Can yon. This IS considered one of the best prospects there. A shaft has been sunk to depth of eighty-five feet, and tun- nel run in about twenty feet. There Is a large quantity of high grade ore in sight.
 George Phillips, while out prospecting last week, came across a good Looking prospect, and located the same. He picked up a few specimens at random, and had an assay made that went S5497 to the ton, in silver. In spOoning out another piece of the same rock he oo- tained about Sl5 ID gold. The location is on the north side of the big ledge, and is named the Orient.
 Last Thursday morning the miners at work on the famous Juniper mine made a strike that will fully establish its claim to the best and largest gold mine Tn the world. The shaft has been sunk to a depth of fifty feet. A drift has been run in on the ledge about forty feet, from the bottom of the shaft, easterly. While at work in this east drift vein was struck, about two feet in width, the ore from which assays from four hundred to a thousand dollars per ton. This Is lucky strike for the boys who hold the lease on the mine. The point where the rich vein was struck Is about 100 feet from the surface.

AOu Nuwas begged for an order empowering him to 20 about the country and take an ass from every man whom he might find afraid of bis wife. The order was given and after a short absence the COmmis- sicner returned with quite large drove of asses, and was at once conducted into tue Caliph's presence. "NOw, said the latter, tell me what adventures you have met with during your travels "Prince of the Faithful" was the reply 'I found many men who feared then w1ves, and took an ass from each III accordance with your order.

INDIAN APPROPRIATIONS.

As an example of the treatment of the Indians by the Government the follow ing action of the Senate in considering the House Indian Appropriation bill may be of some interest. In reading the bill an amendment was made to strike out the following lines:
 Collecting and subsisting Apaches and other Indians of Arizona and New Mexi- co: For this amount, 10 subsist and prop erly care for the Apaches and other In- dians in Arizona and New Mexico who have been or may be collected on reser- vstions in New Mexico or Arizona, S3Io,- 900;
 And in lieu thereof to insert:
 For subsisting and carrying for the Ap- aches and other Indians of the San Car los reservation, m Arizona; For this amount, for subsistence, S2Io,ooo; for civilization and instruction, including pay for Indian labor, S2o,ooo; for annuity goods, agricultural implements, seeds and supplies, S35,ooo, for pay in employees, SIo,Ooo; in all, S275, 5,ooo,
 Another clause was made to read:
 Incidental expenses of Indian service in Arizona: For general incidental ex- penses of the Indian service, including travelling expenses of Agents in Arizona, support, civilization and instruction of Indians at the Colorado River and Pima and Maricopa agencies, SI6.oOo, and pay of employees at same agencies, SS,ooo; Tn all, S24,ooo.
 These amendments were concuned in by the Senate and the bill passed.
 One feature of the appropriation bill wlll strike the Arizona reader as quite ab- surd. While the inhuman, bloodihirsty and rebellious Apaches at San Carlos are given the snug little annuity of s275 ,ooo, the more peaceable, friendly and progres- sive tribes whose members are largely Tn excess of the Apaches, are to receive but a small fraction of the S24, 1000 approPri- aced. To the Indians themselves II would seem like paying a premium for the scalps of white people, for those 10 whom SO little IS given are the friends and allies of the whites, while the Apaches al San Carlos are hostile. IL looks like obeying the 5criptural injunction which says something about loving your enc mes and dolng good 10 those that injure you, but that holy law does not exclude ones friends from all participation in ones good deeds.

Very Bad Customs in the United States
 Supreme Court.

Customs which are fit subjects for
 Congressional investigation have clung
 to the United States Supreme Court ever since its first establishment. Most of these are very questionable, and make
 demands upon the National Treasury. On this account their discussion by the
 public cannot he considered as an un-
 warrantable intrusion upon the privacy of the demure gentlemen who wear the sombre gowns and drOwsily read over cases which are already three years be
 hind the calendar. One custom has been the allowance of certain fees to the Clerk of the Court, which frequently aggregate 1t IS said, S40,OO0 year, or S30,0O0 more than the salary of a Justice. One ex- penslve custom IS the exactiOn of two dollars a page for copies of decisions which other cOpyists would gladly write for ten cents page. This custom, in the absence of the printing of decisions, Is rich harvest for the Clerk. Another custom prevents any one, newspaper re- porter or lawyer, from writing notes ill the presence of the Court, with the re- suit of forcing all who desire to secure a correct report of decision to pay the Clerk a big fee for a copy of 1t, and to wait his convenience and pleasure before getting it.
 The salary of q Justice of the Supreme Court is Sl0,OO0. IL will sur prise many to learn that there are a number of perquisites connected with the office. Custom allows him his car rlage and a body servant The body servants are paid S1200 year by the Government. Custom forbids the Justice to select his own attendants. | The newly appointed official IS obliged | to retain the body servant Of his pre- decessor, and 1t is not known that the | custom has ever been violated. It is l stated that the servants berths become l family lnheritances, and no new men | are ever let into the ring If the ques- ton IS raised why Congress has permitted | such. .acurlous customs to prevail the l answer Is at hand. Custom has decreed l that as a matter of courtesy all bills | relating to the Court must first be sent | to It for inspection. This effectually | prevents any uproOting of these shameful old customs, which would, 1t appears, be much more honored in the breach than m the observance. The dignity of the Court ought, doubtless, to be preserved. But there seems to be a great deal of fuss and feathers in con eetion with of very oues ion ble nature which might be very satisfactorily dealt with by the Congressional pruning knifs.

 "Did you roast them:"
