The Worlds Fair Mine.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. pa meeting
of the committee of the directors appointed
TO confer with f. F. Brown, of Colorado,
in regard to a subterranean mining exhibit
was held at headquarters yesterday. In
answer to interrogations by members of
the committee, MIR. Brown made the fol-
lowing proposition
The surface space required would be
200 by 125 feet, in which would be sunk a
shaft lf1s by "a feet to depth OF 500 feet.
Said shaft TO be divided into eight COM
partments, six of which would contain
each a forty-passenger elevator, and at
one end a stairway and at the other the
piping, aIr chambers and necessary me
chanical connections. At the bottom OF
the shaft corridor is to be built, clip
teal in form, forty feet wide, twenty feet
high and 100 feet in circumference, from
which would extend outwardly shafts or
drifts, made in exact representation of the
famous mines of the West with the min
eral.
Mr.. Brown stated that it was his idea to
have the Exposition company build it, and
from the gross receipts he to be paid per
cent. That if he could secure the location
he would give all the excavated material
to the fair for filling. He thought he
could produce 49, yards Of material for
use in eighteen months. If the Worlds
Fair cannot use the material, he can dis
pose of it without cost
1t was his idea that an admittance fec of
30 cents should be charged, and estimated
that 4O,0o0 or $1,000 people per day could
be accommodated. There would he room
for 1000 or 5000 people in the corridors
and drifts below. The temperature would
be 81 degrees all the year round
He estimated that the cost Of his scheme
would be about $4,000, with an additional
100000, out of the total Of which would be
left about s75, coo for contingent fund.

The Indians Must Stay a, t.ome.

The condition of the Indians now
travelling with the various wild west
shows in Europe has become the subject
of an investigation at Washington The
result viii probably be that the Indians
now abroad will be recalled and returued
to their reservations, while it is certain
that no mere will be allowed to leave the
reservations for show purposes
For some time past General o'Briene
and number of other persons who take
an interest in the welfare OF the Indian
have been in communication with the de
partment at Washington, basing their re-
ports on the statements of whites and Iu-
dians who have recently returned from
the shows in Europe. General o'Briene
received to-day the following letter from
Washington in regard TO the matter:
Hon. James II. OBriene, Assis stant In
migration Agent, New York-Your favor
has beeu received and have referred 1t
to the Commissioner OF Indian Affairs,
with directions to prohibit and prevent
any Indians being taken from the res

Playing Hamlet Under Difficulties.

SYRACUSE, y. Y. Sept. 500.
natoes, potatoes and domoniac yclls
brought to termination the enactment OF
Hamlet by James Owen O'C0unor last
evening before the play was half over The
play opened under very demonstrative
auspices, and the great James Owen was
applauded numerically.
The big Alhambra was well filed with
people whose enthusiasm knew no bounds.
Before the acting had proceeded far the
curtain was rung down, and at the loud
cheers the distinguished tragedian came
before the curtain with elastic step and
asked the audience to allow him to play
and if he proved not to be a good actor
they were at liberty to hiss.
At that point the mayor and common
council, who had adjourned meeting to
attend the play, came into the hail in a
body. Somebody told Mir. O'Connor of It,
and nc said: Ladies and gentlemen, am
told that your mayor is present. Now, If
you have no respect for me, respect your
mayor. Now hiss if you dare.n
Great Kisses and confusion drove the
great actor behind the curtain, waving a
kiss gracefully at the audience as he re
tired. The audience then began to veil
for Mayor Cowie, singing in concert ave
want Cowie.r
The curtain rose several times after
that, but the actors were kept busy each
time dodging tomatoes, potatoes, beans
and frankfurters. The tragedian was hit
once by a tomato on the head. The seats
were smashed and general pandemonium
reigned. The lights were finally turned
of aud the audience left.

more against William II. Malone, involv-
ing the right 10 the north half of the north
west quarter of section Z, township south,
range 81 west, in the Denver land district
Tho land in question is stated to be very
valuable. This decision is one Of great
inheritance to Denver and Colorado, mas
much as it practically decides, approx
mately, 200 similar cases in which the
lands involved are located in the immedi-
ate vicinity OF Denver. The facts IN the
case stated briefly, are that the land is
within the limits Of the grant TO the Union
Pacific Railway Company, and was sold
to the Platte Land Company, a foreign
corporation, October q, 1sS2. The rail.
road company selected it April 2s, 1883, bu;
patent was never issued therefor. Malone
applied to make homestead entry for the
same land August u, 1858. The decision
is adverse to the railroad company and
