Commissioner Daniels and railroad men
in Denver generally felt somewhat better
yesterday, says the Republican, over the
announcement that the Northwestern
roads had decided to form a two-years'
pool, and that the Burlington and Union
Pacific had moved toward the settlement
of the existing difficulties between the two
lines. These steps will probably have the
effect of continuing the Colorado pool,
unless sOme unforeseen cause of quarrel
arises between the roads concerned in
these pacific arrangements between now
and the I'd of April, when the general
managers are to meet in Denver and con-
suit with Commissioner Daniels as to
future pool conditions. The roads gen
orally feel that a rate war would be
ruinous to them, and wish to avoid n if
possible, while so far as the merchants of
Denver are concerned, it is not desired.
Low freight rates are wanted, but not a
luctuating tariff. Altogether it is a
matter for congratulation on all hands
that the Northwestern roads have taken
the initiatOry in adjusting the differences
prevailing between them, which have not
only hurt them, but have been injurious
to commerce generally. On last Satur-
day it was expected that there would be a
serious war on rates in the ranks of the
Northwestern association, and prepare
tons were said to be making for it. But
as all the roads interested were anxious to
prevent this, including the Northwestern,
which had before held out on the question
of percentages, it was found no difficult
matter to establish the contract between
the lines in the pool.

The Kansas legislature has passed the
bill for the appointment Of a state veter-
mary surgeon.
The foot and mouth disease scare has
done already what little harm was posi-
bic to it. Last nights reports showed
the eastern beef markets firm and ris-
ing.
D. f. Chase, manager of the Eastern
Cattle company, left Denver last night for
northern Texas, whence he will drive in
$500 Texas steers and add them to the
5000 already on the ranch.
The Maryland house of delegates re-
Gently laid on the table the bill prohibit
ing the sale of western slaughtered beef
in the Baltimore market by a vote of &C
yeas to ii nays.
A Rockford, Illinois, special says: "a
disease, which is supposed to be aphthous
fever, has appeared among the cattle here.
They are taken sick at night and die be-
fore morning. Their bodies are much
bloated. :"
The report comes from Maries county,
Missouri, that the foot and mouth disease
has broken out there. 1t is not corrobor-
ated and as it is becoming apparent that
the alarming stories in regard to the dis
ease from other parts of the country were
founded on nothing but the appearance of
the foot rot, it is safe to pay little atten-
ton to the Missouri rumor.
The spring cattle drive from Texas will
number about 3OO,0 head, which has
been the average annual drive from the
state for several years. 1t is difficult to
estimate at this time how many of these
will so into Colorado, but it is probable
that there will be at least 20, 900 driven
into that state. The drives viii begin
about the middle of April.
The Live Stock Record says: The New
Mexican stock growers have requested the
legislature of that territory to enact a law
requiring butchers to give a bond of $l,-
600 to keep a record, open at all times to
public inspection, containing a description
" oh eho eiihiaio bhcy SldueHteT dlu lne
names of the parties from whom pur-
chased. Also to keep the hides of
slaughtered animals for reasonable length
of time, thus enabling parties to identify
their property. The request is a reason
able one, and a law to that effect would
materially aid in the detection of thieves,
while a compliance with its provisions
would entail no hardships on the butchers.
The Wyoming Stock Growers Associa-
ton is making ample preparations for the
next annual meeting, which will be one of
the most important in its history. Over
five hundred visitors are expected from all
regions where cattle are raised. Among
the most important matters to be CON
sidered is a scheme to ship cattle to Du-
luth thence to Montreal, and thence to
England, thus avoiding the eastern states.
The English know hat no disease exists
in the western cattle region, and all their
alarm on account of American stock comes
from its transmissions through the At
lantic states, and by this course their fears
will be obviated.

Some Interesting Facts Regarding This
New Mineral Section.

A private letter written by a former
dated Eagle City, Idaho, March 9th last,
reads as follows:
We got into Trout Greek on Monday
evening, one week after leaving Cheyenne.
There we bought a hand sled, put about
two hundred pounds on it and started
over the trail for Eagle City. The trail is
about two feet wide, and it is up hill and
down valleys and over mountains for
thirty-five miles. Some of the mountains
are almost straight up. There was one
mountain two and one-half miles from the
bottom to the top. We started at the
bottom at s o'clock in the morning and it
took us until 3 O'Clock in the afternoon to
reach the top, so you can judge how hard
it was to get up, pulling a load after us.
The excitement is at blood heat. A
great many say that it is going to be one
of the best camps which was ever struck
while others tell you there is nothing
here to justify the excitement. There
is one thing strange to me
if there is as much gold here as they
claim that they are not working their
claims. | have not seen any gold yet
Every one seems to be wild about town
property. Every lot is taken for seven
miles up the gulch. There is not an
available lot to be got unless you pay big
money, and l have not seen anything so
far to justify any man to pay exorbitant
prices for town property. There are
about a dozen saloons and gambling
houses, one dance house, whilst another
will be ready in a few days. McDaniels
has started to build a theatre, and it will
be ready for the opening by the 22nd.
There was no government postofice here
until to-day. When a man sent out a let
ter he had to pay fifty cents for every one
he sent and received. Flour is $50 per
hundred; bacon, thirty cents per pound;
dried apples and peaches sixty cents per
pound; board was $40 per week but is a
little lower at present. l am stopping
with two men from Leadville. w
shoveled the snow, put up two wagon
covers and slept under them. We build
a fire outside and do our cooking. We
bake our bread by cooking it in a frying
pan before the fire. In coming over the
trail when night overlook us, we would
cut some brush, lay it on the snow, spread
our wet blankets, and then lie down with
the starry decked canopy of heaven for a
roof. All the buildings so far are made
of logs, There are a great many build
ings going up. Lumber is S25 per thou
sand, as there are no saw mills. What
lumber is here is shipped. Rents are
enormous. There are some parties who
have a big tent, They were offered 800

Solemn Ceremony

ON last Tuesday the Cheyenne chiefs, out of
respect ana confidence IN their Agent, pre-.
sented Col ID. B. Dyer with two relics seldom
parted with by the Indians-a war shield and
an imitation of a Lizard. The war shield is
made of raw hide, artistically painted and
decorated with eagle feathers, is round in
shape and about eighteen inches in diameter:
the lizard is about foot long made of skin
stuffed and beautifully covered with various
colored beads. Other than rs an important
gift to n valued friend, these articles used in
war.are never disposed of, yet articles rep
resenting them are sold. The lizard is plac-
cd on the head of the chief when in battle,
and is termed by them "Medicine," or what
we would call an emblem of good luck. The
shield is an article for practical use when en-
gagged in battle, they holding it in front of the
body, thus shielding it from tho arrows of the
enemy. An article Of this kind having gone
through war. it is sacred and valued and as
VIC said is not disposed of unless il be on an
important occasion, and not for any sum of
money. The chiefs having announced to the
Colonel their intention, they he a private
council, and when the hour come for the
Colonel 10 enter the lodge, he was sent for,
and through their interpreter, George Bent,
was ushered III, and the presentation was
made with great solemnity. In short address
scs the chiefs told Col. Dyer that in making
him this present on behalf of the entire Chey.
enne tribe, they did SO with the best feeling

and confidence in which he is held in their
