He ia said TO have exhibited goose quill

later the secret OF where he obtained the

ooyeries were made until 1877 when
Julius Ropes found gold bearing quartz
about four miles north of Ishpeming
In 1880 and 1881 he made other discover
les and organized tho Ropes Gold and
Silver Mining Company. This mine has
three stamp mills at work. Gold aud
silver bullion TO tho amount of $4,000
have been taken from che mine, but at
coat that has made the undertaking IN
rennnerative TO it's stockholders, the
quartz containing only from "a to 81 OF
the precious matals per ton. The Lake
Superior Mine is of more recent date,
and the lato discovery of 300 pounds Of
quartz carrying free gold at the rate OF
from $4,000 to 100000 per ton has
created great excitement in the Ishpem
ing region. All the gold found so far
has 1eyu in the quart. lodges. As the
reduction of the quartz is an expensive
undertaking, requiring large outlay OF
capital for stamp mills nnd other ma
chinery, the pnlmy period Of California

Tus ever occurring question as TO
what is to be done with the Indian is
once more to the front in connection wi h
the Sioux. They were assigned by treaty
reservation of 22OO0,0oO acres in Da-
kota and have been living ON IL mere or
less peaceably for number OF years.
But loud protest has been made against
rescryiug this tract, more than two thirds
IA large as the State OF Pennsylvania, for
the sole use of 5000 Indians, who are
practically supported by the government
an act opening the reservation to settle.
ment when three fourths of the Indians
vote to vacate it, At present the Sioux
are gathered at Standing Rock Agency
to protest against this law and are said
to have assumed threatening attitude.
The excitement aud alarm of the Sioux,
ARE not TO be wondered at. II IL easy
enough to say that they need not go If
,hree-fourths of them are not in favor of
yoipp. but the Sioux know from painful
experience chat their removal is deter
mined upon, aud that if the present law
fails through lack Of Willingness to 60 on
their own part some other means will be
found to get rid OF them and secure their
lands. The most pathetic feature of the
Sioux situadon now IS the fact that if
they move there is practically no place
for them to 20 except to the Indian Ter
ritory, which has invariably proved fata
10 the Northern Indians. Their present
reservation is all that is left to them OF
territory that once comprised all of
Minnesota, Dakota, part Of Wyoming and
the Southern portion ofBriisb Columbia.
Pathetic as his fate may be, there is little
doubt that the Sioux must go somewhere.
Tho enyious eyes OF the whites have all
ready been directed to this fertile traot of
22.00o.0o0 acres, and no mere sentimental
idea abou. the sacrednees OF treaty rights
will bo long allowed 70 stand in the way
OF its final occupation 10y the dominant
