The znaian Reefment.

Iran across Frank Bennett, ex-ctnet Of
Indian scouts for the department Of New
Mexico. at the Astor house. Frank has
had. perhaps, more Indian service IN the
southwest than any of the trusted gov
eminent scouts,A Sober. ef Arizona, not
excepted. He served under Hatch. Buel,
Forsyth and Crook from the time Nictorio
broke out in 1850 unhl Crock tracked the
Apaches into Mexico and broke them mp.
He is now engaged III mining, being in
| terested in several claims in New Mexico
and Arizona, ard is here on business con-
neeted with them. Speaking of the propo-
sition ofor1n a regiment of Indians TO
be a part Of the regulsr army, now under
consideration by the var department, he
! said:
IF Indians are enlisted a system Of
tactics and discipline must be adopted
different from that of Il regiment we
have in the regular service, CT there viii
be a mntiny before many moons. The
Indian character is opposed to restraint,
and an army life is IN of such dull
routine as would drive an Indian crazy.
It Is true that the scout companies which

Crook did well. but they were wisely
subjected TO little o. no discipline. It
was go as YOU please. Our scout con-
panies were noIninally commanded by a
lieutenant Of cavalry, who had with him
a chief of scouts, who acted as inter
prefer as well, and, as a rule, the Indians
led the white men, not the white men
the Indians. There is hardly q chance
OF any further Indian troubles, anyhow.
If there be any outbreak it will be as for
years back in the southwest, and what
use could the so called civilized Indians
of the Carlisle school be in that region:

The past wool season in Australia has
been a highly profitable one, and not
only have prices been satisfactory, but
the clip is the largest on record. It Is
estimated that during the season 1885,
600 bales were exported, against .38j, 600
in 1850, and 1915, 600 bales in 1878.
\ competent authority estimates that
the total value Of the clip at Australian
ports was about e23, eco, coo, against a
little over e21 900, 900 for 1855, and
about eli, 500, 900 for 1878. The squat
ting companies and the banks, which
are largely interested in stations, have
during the last two years been able to
materially strengthen their position with
respect to the pastoral industry. There
is every prospect that, owing to the vast
ness of the improvements made on the
runs, especially in the storage Of water.

tudes from drought in the future than
has been the case in the past, and that

It Is said that IN 1871 q Spanish bark
dropped anchor opposite the present town
site Of Columbia City, and near the farm
low owned By Hez Gopher. There was
large amount of treasure aboard the
vessel and the crew conspircd to obtain
possession Of it. They mutinied. assas-
sinated the captain and buried the gold
and silver somewhere on the Gopher farm.
Some say that the treasure vas buried
before the captain was killed, and that
the man who buried it m~ysteIiously dis
appeared Immediately afterward. Others
claim thatitwas buried after the mutiny,
and that the men were frightened away
by a band Of red skins. At any rate the
mutineers failed to find the treasure when
they returned. Others who became ac-
quainted with the fact that a great for
tune had been buried on or near Copler's
farm made unsuccessful effort TO find it,
but always with serious consequences to
one or more Of the searching parties.
At a spiritualistic meeting in this city,
some five or six years ago, a Spiritualist
claimed to have a revelation as to the
identical spot where the %Spaniards had
covered mp their i'll gotten wealth. Sew
eral Spiritualists, reposing confidence in
the revelation, visited Copler's farm, and
after searching several days discovered
a large deposit Of small rocks at a depth
of a foot, and supposed the money to be
buried beneath it. While they were at
work removing the rocks one of the men
dropped dead. This created such con
stcrnation among the rest that the party
abandoned their labors.
No further efforts to secure the hidden
treasure were put forth until last week,
when another party went on this wild
| goose chase. Among them was William
Matthew, who succeeded in locating the
rock deposit. While deiving underneath

went well for a time, but being driven
somewhat out Of his ours by contrary
winds. he decided to attempt the jour-

in So small q craft was attended by cor

management Of the boat.

he was for some days again disturbed by

In the south the Democratic brigadiers

holders were not SO fearful of contain
ination by close contact, us the mu-
latto, quadroons and other shades OF
color in that section give conclusive
evidence. Bnt this antipathy is not
confined to the southern Democrat at
