lLLoN' 6tAVERHEAD COUNTY T, SATURDAY, JULY 3d.
STARVING INDIANS.
a Report that the Shosl,one Indians are
Ready to Revolt.

Cheyenne, Wyo, special: l, is stated
that the Shoshones, who for twenty years
have been friends OF the whites, aiding the
government in fighting Sioux and other
hostile tribes, are almost starving, while
the Sioux are provided for abundantly.
The reservation, thirty miles square. con-
tains 1900 Indians. Buffalo are extinct,
and antelope exceedingly scarce. The In
dians subsist on jack.rabbits and prairie
dogs which are also scarce. Every spring
a large number Of Shoshone children die
from starvation. The supplies furnished
by the government are so meagre as to
last only a few weeks. The pretcnse of
teaching the Indians is ridiculous, as only
a single farmer is there attempting to teach
them, and the seeds sent there are usually
eaten for the lack of other fcod. The total
amount OF potatoes sent for seed is not
enough to plant twenty-five acres, and
about enough wheat to SOW 100 acres. EN-
pensive machinery is sent, which is utter
lv useless as there is nothing to use it on
and the lndianssare ignorant OF the uses.
Washakie, chief OF the Shoshones, 6o wears
old, intirm and destitute, has held the tribe
friendly to the government. Should he
die there is sure to be revolt, and is al
most out Of patience. The reservation is
far from the railroads. There are two
companies Of white infantry and one com
pany Of colored cavalry a, Fort Washakie
The Indians could clean out the countr,
quickly. \ revolt is expected if some
thing is not done shortly to relieve tht
starving Indians.

THE GREELEY EXPEDITION:
One Of the Survivors Makes Some start
ling Revelations.

Ex-Sergeant Maurice Connell, one Of the
survivors OF Greeley's expedition, and who
has been employed in the Signal Service
Department in San Francisco, Saturday re-
ceved his discharge from the army. lie
asserts DR.. Pavy was falsely accused with
stealing food when the suspicion pointed at
Greeley; that Greeley caused Henry to be
shot for on ofiensc which he condoned in
others. On the subject Of canibalism, he
says, that the bodies were nutilated but he
has no knowledge who the mutilators
were, because he was unsconscious con-
siderable time prior to the rescue. An i'm
portant statement made by Conncll is that
the records which claim that Greeley's En-
pedition made tire point 'tarthest north"
were not authenticated, and that it is 4
question whether the observations on
which the claim is based are not entirely
erroneous.

Under Way

A Denver, Col, dispatch states that the
Colorado Midland Railroad Company has
let contracts for the grading Of its road
bed. The company has been engaged for
some time grading between Leadville and
Aspen, and the announcement is now
made that contracts for grading between
the crossing Of the Platte and Leadvile
will be shortly made. The line as project
ed extends through the Ute Pass over the

ing the western rim Of South Park and
through the Continental Divide by
means of tunnel 1900 feet long. The
last two submits being overcome near
timber line at an elevation Of 1880 feet
above sea level. The country is very
rugged and considerable portion very
snowy. The ruling grades encountered
are IS feet per mile, but when completed
the road will be the shortest mountain
line from the Eastern base Of the noun
tains to Leadville, Aspen and Glenwood
Springs. The length OF the line projected
will he about :4o miles and the estimated

Poor Hop Crop.

The Utica. n. Y. Ucrald printed reports
from the hop.growing counties OF the
State touching the present condition Of the
crops. From every quarter comes the
same story OF devastation and the same
predictions Of the failure ot the crops.
None OF the writer's estimate the yield at
more than one half the usual average
while most Of them put it onc.eighth to
one.fifth. All through the hop-pro-
ducing region it is evident the vine has
gone to pieces in low grounds, while up
land yards are not so badly off owing to
the later growth Of the vine. Taking the
territory into consideration, the crops will
not exceed one third OF the usual yield

The Anaconda Conn ,l,any.

The Butte Inter MouMtmx says:-In
Anaconda yesterday (Nlonday) $50 en-
ployes o: the Anaconda company were
laid Off: whether temporarily or permnent-
ly is not known. One half OF the iurn-
aces are closed down. The precise reason
is not stated. At the mine the force has
also been curtailed, Mr.. DAILY will arrive
at Anaconda tonight 1t is believed that
the reason for the change is that extensive
improvements are contemplated. The
curtailment of Anaconda force is only
temporary and is made to allow Of some
alteration at the reduction works. Four
teen stacks will be kept running, and 500
tons of ore will be treated daily. The con-
templated improvements will be completed,
Mr.. DAILY says in about 50 days. Opera
tons will then be resumed at full blast.

PHILADELi HIA BEER.
HenOrs Attained by the Home
Article at the Fair.

The HERALD has frequently called atten-
lion to the fine beer manufactured by Maier
& zobelein in this city. That its popularity
is constantly increasing is shown by the
larg, sales, and the demand springing up
for it abroad. Before the introduction Of
this homemade beer, immense sums were
annually sent to eastern cities for beer
which is in no respect superior. and In
many respects inferior to that manufactured
on this coast. Ths barley grown In this
county IL the best in the world, and our
hops are fully equal to any grown IN the
country. It. will therefore be seen that all.
the requirements for frstcless beer are
here, and II only remained for an entsrpris-
ing local firm to produce the article. This

The prixaic secretarY.

Regarding the above play which will be
presented next Tuesday evening, at the
Opera House, the San Jose Mercury recent
ly spoke of 1t in this manner: "Not SO large
an audience as 1t deserved, but an appreoi
ative and well pleased one witnessed the
production last night of the comedy "The
Private Secretary" by Long & Motifs
Dramatic Company. 1t is one OF the most
mirthiul of plays, and abounds in ludierous
situations. After the first few moments of
introduction it Is one continuous laugh"
for the audience to the close. The theme
involves the adventures OF very innocent
young man, too green to ever ripeI, who
h Is been called TO be private secretary to
gentleman OF properly. But he is en- route
to his post, induced to pause in the room of
q friend while another assumes his name
and cl lerical garb, apes his manner and pre-
sents himself aud takes the place for the
sole purpose of having light royal good
time Pr sently the real secretary comes
upon the scene, and the attempts to secrete
and suppress him create mirth and laughter,
and the ludicrOus situations, 1ntermingled
with two love scones, the cranklncss OF an
old maid enam0red of spirltuaiism, ana the
wrath of an old fellow who mistakes the
genuine secretary for his nephew aud de.
spises him as milk-sop while the real
nephew IL the rOystering bogus secretary III
whose "wild oats the uncle takes delight.
In such plot there is ample. opportunity
for the roilicking style ana free held for
wit. The whole thing is very absurd, but
irresistibly laughter provoking Mr. Longs
st cretary is q G cation by him.
The box office will open for the sale OF re-
served seats this morning at 1o o'clock al
the Opera House: as there is no extra
charge for them the large demand for the
same that Is likely to occur suggests an
early application for choice loc itions.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
The Pavilion Illuminated by
Electricity.


Nothing has done mere to advertise Los
Angeles abroad tsan her splendid system
Of electric lights. When they were first in
troduced here. several years ago. many
shook their hi ads dOubtfu'ly, but the re-
suit has more than met the antlcpations of
the most sanguine believers in this method
of public lighting. An immensa area is
lighted at comparatively small expense,
and nothing could induce our peO-
ple to 60 back to the old
fashioaed gas. The success of the en-
terprIse has been almost wholly due to the
good management OF Col. Howland, OF the
Eieotric Light Company, and his able as
sistant, Prof. Warren. The Brush system Is
used II this city. There are two mast cir
cults in the city, One Is known as the
north circuit, and the other as the south
circuit. There are 81 miles of wire. On
these mast circuits there are Is masts each
ZOO candle power. There are two masts on
Sfhe same circuit, each 150 feet high, carry
Ing four lamps Of 5000 candle power each.
There are l9 60-foot masts, each carrying
one lamp of 5000 candle power. There are
aleo several circuits for private lamps,
which are very popular.
These facts are given for the benefit Of
Interested In electricity as a means Of IL
lumination. The Pavilion Is lighted by
seven regular electric Temps, and one in
osndesccnt lamp. The light given Is per-
fect. as all will admit.
The city of Los Angeles has been one of
the first on this coast to demonstrate the
perfect success of electricity as q means of
public lighting. Unquestionably the great
success here will encourage other cities to
make the experiment
