that the yield of the mining industry once
centering at Carson, is now practically re-
duced to nothing, so that whatever reason
there once was for the existence of the Car
son mint, is no longer in force.

ly scattered. There are numbers of armed
men and the possibility of fight between
''boomers" and troops is by no means re-
mote. The statement is made that the
leaders desire to bring about conflict on
the eve of the assembling of congress, 81
that congressional action may be had and
Oklahoma legally opened to settlement. In
dians are reported as becoming restless un-
der the situation, though they anticipate NO
outbreak.
