Indians Part With Their Million Acres
How the White Men will Profit.
RED LAKE FAILS, Mimi, July IL,
lSS9.-The residents Of this town are
building bonfires tonight over the
prospects of the immediate opening of
the Red Lake Indian reservation, which
contains three million acres of the finest
land in the State of Minnesota. The
forests along the Clearwater and Red
Lake rivers contain one billion feet of
pine, which will be cut ard marketed
within the next two years.
The Chippewa commission, composed
of Bishop Marty ex-senator Rice and
Colonel Z. ]. Whitney, has been COM
pletely successful in getting the sigma
lures Of the red men, who have signed
the instrument which cedes to the
United States all their reservation ex-
eept q comparatively small portion.
The territory retained by them ia ad-
jacent to Red Lake and much more
than sufficient to provide every man,
woman and child with 160 acres.
At the council held Thursday it ap-
peared that the Indians supposed the
act under which the Commissioners
proceed to be identical with the bill
introduced IN the House of Represen-
tatives by Mr.. Nelson. 1t was shown,
however, that the original measure had
been many times amended and, in fact,
radically altered before finally passing
Congress and receiving the approval IF
the President.

Plenty Coal

: IN reply to the assertion that the world
in the future may be dependent upon
America forfts supplyof ecAi, aforeign
exchange cites the numerous uhdrained
coal fields of the Netherlands, Switzer-
land, Sweden. Denmark, Germany, Bo-
hemia, Servia and Hanover, which are
estimated at $1,000 square miles, and
Russia with $4,000 square miles. The
island of Formosa can show 10, 900 square
miles. Near Peking coal veinsof ninety
five feet thickness are to be found.
Large coal fields are also found in Aus
tria, Spain, Portugal, Italy. Greece,
Turkey and Persia. with $1,000 square
miles, to which India's 80, 900 and China,
with about 400, 900 square miles, are still
to be added. Japan can furnish 5000
square miles, There still remain the
Falkland Islands, Patagonia and Peru,
which contain rich coal deposits. The
largest portion of southern Chill is an
immense coal bed. Brazil contains coal
beds Of seventeen to twenty-five feet
thickness. In the United States of Co
lombia soft chall1y coal of good quail
ity is found. Mexico, Vancouver's Isl
and and New South Wales all have coal;
the latter country has $4,000 square
miles, In addition thereto, Queensland,
Victoria and West Australia add upward
of 14,000 square miles of coal. New
Zealand furnishes 10000, besides Tas-
mania, New Caledonia, Natal, Alaska
and other partially developed portions
of the world, which should represent at
least 100, 900 square miles, in addition to
former figures, The coal fields are in

The highest mountain on the globe is

crest, that honor belonging to u lofty
peak on the Isle of Papua, or New
Guinea This monster, which lifts its
snow capped summit far into the Clouds,
was discovered by Capt. A. j. Lawson,
Of London. in 1881. According to Law
son this new claimant for tho champion
ship is 3o.763 feet in height, being 3,7S1
feet higher than Mount Everest, which
is only 10000 feet above the level of the
Indian ocean, This New Guinea giant
has been named Mount Hercules.
OF oceans the Pacific is the largest,
being 1000 miles long and 5000 miles
wide. 1t also claims the honor of being
the deepest. The deepest place yet meas
ured was near the Leadrone Islands,
where depth of 4,4T5 fathoms was
found. This great depth may be better
understood when we consider that Ats

AGross Attack on the President :.

Itpains us to learn that President Har-
rison's favorite fishis shad. Nothing
could show more plainly the demoraliz-
ing influences which are brought to
bear on talented western man when
he goes east to live. Has the President
forgotten so soon the merits of the sue
eulent catfish of the romatic Wabash?
Does he not remember the thrill with
whichhe has beheld one of those pis-
catorial treasures wriggling on his hook?
Does he not recall the joy with which
he has viewed their flowing mustaches
and attractive chin whiskers2 The
shad does not need clean shave when
it is caught. 1t cannot gore its captor
with glistening horns as catfish can.
In short, tine shad is not game fish
and was never known to drag q fisher
man into the water and there devour
him. 1t is distressing to think of the
President setting the puny shad above
this mighty western wonder. The free
voters of the west may forget their love
for tariff reform occasiOnly, but they
will permit no one to sneeze at the
merits of the catfish.-Chicago Neaos.
