Shall We have an Indian State?

United States Senator Ingalls,, Of Kansas, has returned from the Indian territory, Tn company with Senator Dawes and Morgan, members of the special committee appointed by Con. gress to investigate the manner in which the treaties made with the In dians of the territory are being com. piled with.
 "In what condition did yuo find the Indians themselves2" he was ask ed.
 "rhe very best possible. They are prosperous, law abiding and happy. There is not single pauper in the na- ton, and many of the Indians on the other hand, are really wealthy"
 "What do you think of the future of the Indlans?"
 "I think they will work out their own future, it left to themselves. The Indians oi the territory are in favor of forming an Indian state. to be ad mitted as member Of the Union. They say they would willingly receive the I'.dians from other parts of the country and do every thing in their power to help them along. About the only territory yet unoccupied IS that of Oklahoma, which would be sufficient to accomodate most of the Indians from a distance"

From the Corporal,

From the Marian Barricks, Pensa- cola, Florida, Corporal Ben. Barger writes of the benefit of Browns Iron Bitters in that malarious region. He says: "I have used several bottles and must say I am greatly benefited by using it. Several of my comrades use Browns Iron Bitters, and you may rest assured they all think It is the greatest thing on earth" This kind of testimony comes from all quarters concerning Browns Iron Bit ters-the best tonic.

WILCOX StockmanJ
 The Kansas City Live Stock Jour nal denies and attempts to ridicule a statement recently made by the Stock man that the losses from Texas lever last year amounted to in the neigh borhood of SI,Ioo,ooo in the herds that were inoCulated by cattle from northern Texas. But the Mobeetie (Texas) Panhandle comes to our res cue, with the assertion that our fig ures were below rather than above the pro per mark, and estimates s. 900, GOO as being more nearly the ac- ,ual total of the losses.
 Cattle inspector George Frisk in spected and admitted to Arizona over 4, ,ooc head cf stock cattle during the past few days. Snyder & Casey en- tered 2,soo grown cattle and 800 yearlings. These cattle will be turn ed on range on the upper Gila, near the line between Arizona and New Mexico, and were brought from Colorado and the Pecos country. Newman & Haston were allowed to enter I, ,o2o head of stock cattle and 62 grade bulls from the Indian Ter ritory, which are destined forthe h. dians at San Carlos and carry the l D (lndian Department) brand. Mir. Frisk informs us that these cattle were all able to show clean bill of health and were clearly entitled to enter un- der the law.
 There is said to be 16, 900 head of cattle in Colfax county, New Mexico. in violation of the quarantine laws. The Raton Comet says the owners will be prosecuted as soon as found, as that county cannot stand such raid, even if the cattle were healthy.
 It is asserted that Texas will have 10 sell nearly million head of cattle to get i'd of its surplus stock.
 An unknown cattle disease is rav- aging the ranges on Mouse creek, Dakota. Out of heard of 400 all died but two.
 The round up is over. The last meeting of the outfit was held in town Monday night.
 During the past year the Wyoming Live Stock association has expended upwards of S53.ooo for work against the criminal classes. The estimated amount expended for that purpose by the eight associ ations of Texas was only $2o, GOO, and the Fort Worth Journal hugs itself delightedly on the showing in favor of Texas.
 MT. John H. Riley, Cattle Inspec- tor of New Mexico, and MT. Prick, Cattle Inspector of this Territory, held a consultation at Lordsburg, last Saturday, in regard to the transporta- tion of cattle through the two Terri tories. Satisfactory conclusions were reached, which will undoubtedly prove acceptable to the majority of stockman in both these Territories, as Messrs. Riley and Prick are thorugh- ly posted in their business. Clarion.

Some Military Sense at Last.

It would seem that our military commanders are getting some sense at last, as they have arrived at the conclusion long since reached by the people, that the only good Apache or Chiracahua Indian is dead one.
 The Tombstone Record -Epitaph has information that orders have been is- sued calling in all United States troops now in the field operating against the Apaches both in Arizona
 and New Mexico, and couriers have been dispatched to the different com. mands with instructions for them to return immediately to their respective posts. It is the intention of the de- partment to newly equip and uniform the troops and provide for a vigorous campaign against all renegade Apach- es off the reservation. And in this connection we have 1t on good au- thority that no obstacles will be plac- cd in the way of those Indians now at San Carlos who may desire to leave. The order calling in the troops is of fcial and we have strong grounds for the belief that orders were also issued to pay no attention whatever to the reservation Indians, but to give then plenty of opportunity to join the rem egades when and as they see fit, all of which looks as though a new de- parture was to be inaugurated against the Apaches, and that war oi exter. minatlon was to be immediately be. gun. The program undoubtedly is to fully recuperate and re equip the entire military forces in the depart. ment and with the cooperation of the Mexican troops who are now massing near the line in the vicinity of the Sierra Madres, descend upon Geronimo and ais cohorts and exter. nitrate the entire band, and thus for. ever end this vexed Indian question in Arizona. God grant our surmises may prove correct, and that the expe- dition may prove successful.

TIN Mines.

Prof. j.. q. Stevens, from Clifford,
Pa, was in the city yesterday on his way
east, after having spent the winter in
the Black Hills. The professor is a
mining engineer and has spent his life
in the tin mines Of Cornwall, England.
He was sent out by a syndicate of En-
glish and Pennsylvania capitalists to
purchase tin mines and report upon
them. One Of the interested parties is
Senator Nelson, of Pennsylvania. In
the interest Of these parties the Pro-
fessor purchased the Peacock mine in
the Harvey range tin mines of the Hills.
lie has with him specimens Of the ore
and some small bars of metal which he
smelted and refined while there. The
ore averages 90 per cent of pure tin. In
Cornwall ore paying three per cent pays
to work. The Professor reports the
Eta Mining Co. as having spent up,
wards of 100000 and still buying prop
elty. He thinks most of the mines vii
/ pay to work and is sure the Peacock
will. He thinks smelling works will be-
erected next summer.
There is little doubt that two year!
from now ten thousand men and severa
million dollars in reduction works vii
be operating the tin mines Of the BLACK
llills.--Pierre Signal.

turning from 70 to IS per cent tin of the

bly, correct in stating that there is tin
in the mica schists about Custer, but / IN
stating that the ore carries 70 TO 70 per

tin ore. The best cpssiterite, having no

] We have been repeatedly informed
that when strangers reach Rapid City,
whose residents are nothing II not en-
terprising, they are told that no mines
carrying tin have been discovered in
this vicinity that there are no accom-
modations for transient guests in Custer;
that cowboys are liable to rupe and
brand them, etc. OF course the papers
Of that place DO not print any such state
ments as they would at once be branded
az false. Bnt when men like Capt. Cur
It's and Prof. Stevens Of England, have
reached that agricultural village they
have been gulled with just such stories.
and the former gentleman, If er riding
300 miles on the stage to Sidney, learned
that Custer was one of the finest towns
in the Hills, with fine brick blocks, two
Of the best hotels in the west and what
Is more, was shown sore OF the ore
from n mine only 20 minutes walk from
the centre of town, which induced him
to make a return stage ride TO this place
and his visit and Investigations estab-
lished the fact that we we're i'm the
centre Of the tin district and proved the
truth of the statements made in Sidney
in regard to the town. His visit has led
to correspondence, ore is being sent
from here TO his company and we can
assure our readers that Custer has not
seen the last Of Capt. Curtis and his
company.
But TO get at the subject matter. what
causes people of Rapid to take the above
mentioned position in regard to Custer
Are they afraid Of the attraction offered
by Custer from a mineral point Of view
that causes people Of the Gate way" to
erect bars to prevent the herd Of CAPT
talists from becoming aware of the value
variety and abundance of our mineral
resources. Is il because i'm a comparison
Of situations of the two towns as to what
goes to build up and make permanent /;
city which can draw to its support the
mining, agricultural and grazing re
sources Of the country, Rapid would
suffer. If not, then why this course pur
sue?
When a stranger, or strangers visit
Custer and asks, what Of the Gate way
he is told that it is located i'm Il fine val
ley splendidly adapted to agriculture
purposes, is a town ut present having
greater population than Custer, is
highly moral and temperate town, com
posed of the most enterprising class o
business men TO be found in the Hills
In fact we have never heard "a residen
Of Custer speak Of Rapid to a strange
in any other than terms of praise, will
the admonition to go and sec for your
SELF"
We are willing to vouch for the liberal
ity of the business men of Rapid when j
comes To money matters. Did they no
go down In their pockets and pay for
survey from Buffalo Gap to Rapid 70
which they allowed the S. C. & Z. X. II
company to take credit. If that is no
libeiality we never heard Of the article
Now all we ask of the Gateway

the truth" and well let "your apple.
