sitY OF the industries established
In view OF the extremely low prices pre-
vailing for pig iron and Gotten and the un.
settled condition OF trade, the progress
made Is certainly encouraging.

taken place In the phosphate industry is
shown by the fact that 1876 companies we're
Incorporated during the year.

vestors, and reports show 152 new cotton
and wooden mills for the year.
The wood working Industry az usual leads
the list with GAL new companies incor-

373, against 367 and ESQ In 1890 and 1889
respectively.
The Tradesmdn says the developm ens
that has tax en- place In the south under the
adverse circumstances Of the past year will
be encouraging to all interested in the in
creased prosperity of this section, and IL is
believed that the next twelve months will
witness much greater activity in all indus
trial branches.

GHOST DANCES ON AGAIN
ARRAPAHOES AND OHEYENNES
REVIVE TIE MESSIAH CRAZE.

The Redskins Divided Into Relays
and Dancing Kept Up Day and
NiRht-From 1000 to 1900 Bucks
in the Band-May Lead to War In
the Spring.
GUTHRIE. o. T.. Dec. 30-A courier from
the Cheyenne and Arrapahoe reservation
states that the messiah craze has broken
out anew among the Indians. Left Hand,
the head chief OF the Arrapahoes, and Old
Crow and Whirlwind, chiefs Of the Chey-
ennes, have gathered a thousand Indians
among the interior hills, and for many days
and nights have kept a dance up continu-
ally, declaring that they viii not stop until
the savior arrives.
ANXIETY FELT.
FORT RENO, l. T., Dec 30-The messiah
craze has broken out afresh among Chey-
ennes and Arrapahoes, and not little
anxiety Is felt. While it is quiet enough
near the reservation buildings, dancing has
been going on among the hills for several
DAYS, and the craze is apparently spreading.
The leaders are W hirlwind and Old Crow Of
the Cheyennes. and Left Hand, head chief
OF the Arrapahoes. At first the gathering
was small, but Indians have been streaming
into the camp until now there are from
l,OOO to 1000 present. They declare that
the messiah, who is to expel the whites
bring back the buffalo and restore their
hunting grounds to the Indians, is soon
coming, and that the "ghost dance" will be
kept up day and night till he arrives. Run
ners have come in from Walkers lake, in
Nevada, melting the Indians to activity and
predicting the early appearance of the mes
slab.
DANCING DAY AND NIGHT.
The ghost dance goes on day and night,
the Indians being divided into relays aud
relieving each other as fatigue overcomes
them. Each are provided with eight ghost
shirts, and seem terribly in earnest. Scouts
report that wild whoops and yells can be
heard at all hours of the day and night
from the hills where the tribes have
gathered. As yet the excitement has not
reached the Comanches, but it is feared
that they too may become involved. This
rs regarded as a serious danger, as the
Comanches have an ample supply OF ponies,
in which the Cbeyennes aud Ar
rapahoes are deficient All are
well armed with Winchesters and
revolvers. Officers of most experience In
Indian warfare are not inclined TO believe
that any serious outbreak will occur at
present, as the Indians have a horror of
winter campaigns, but the excitement may
cause them to depart from their usual prac-
tice OF making war only when there is
plenty OF grass for their ponies.
