CHICAGO, February Crook has ar
rived from his trip through the Indian
Territory. The General had never be-
fore visited TT. Sill, the proposed future
home OF the Apache Indians, and he
wanted TO satisfy himself of the lay of
tho country and climate. He said:
- found the U. S. troops well and sat
istied. That section of the country is
not paradise, but not nearly so bad as
described. 1t would make a splendid
reservation for Geronimo and his band.
Did you ascertain from the Indians
whether they would be pleased to re-
ceive as neighbors the Apaches, now so
journing in FlOrida!"
Everybody thinks the scheme is
practicable and wise, and none offer any
objections" said the General. 'and |
think l shall redouble my exertions to
have Fort Sill selected as the place to
quarter the Apaches."

SAN Francisco, Feb. 2O-Iu the Sierras
snow fell heavily last night and early
to-day; new snow measured p inches ON
a level at Blue Canyon. 1t fell on the
Central Overland line all the way from
Auburn to Trinidad and more is still
coming down. In spite of all the efforts
the snow plows were impeded so that
trains could not get through. The
west bound passengers on trains due
here yesterday and to-day are held at
Truckee, and the outlook is that if thew
get here by noon tomorrow they will be
doing well. The east-bound trains Of
Tuesday we're at Summit at noon to-
day. They were expected at Truckee to-
night and then west-bound trains will
be started moving. Last nights east
bound overland is held at COlfaX. No
trains were sent out to-day by the Cen
trai route. The difficulty is due to new
snow piling in cuts where the old snow
is thirty or forty feet high in places,
So that push plows have no opportunity
10 turn the snow to one side. Steam
plows are working effectually east of
TrUcl1ee TO Reno. Track IS easily kept
clear; no trains will be sent into the
mountains until all is clear.
