54Ield this morning received the following
k.elevram from Gen. Miles, 1T Pine Ridge,
dated last night: Gen. Brooke, In com
snand. IL now camped five miles distant
Of White Clay crock, and the entire body
of Indians IL between two commands.
Gen. Brooke has commanded his force
with considerable skin and excellent
judgment. The greatest difficulty now
IL to restore confidence. The Indians
have great fear that their arms viii be
taken away. and then all viii be treated
like those on Wounded Knee. They
have large number Of wounded women
and children, which creates a most de-
pressing feeling among the families and
a desperate disposition among the men.
All military measures and movements
have been successful. Control aud gov
ernment now becomes the problem, yet
no serious embarrassment IL apprehended
at present"

lumber on hand Jan. /, 1891: Lumber,
SIS, COG, 900 feet; shingles, 46, 500, 900; lath,
l3. 100, 900. This does not include lum-
Der sold at retail In this city. Nor does
ii include the lumber business Of the
Union Lumber company. which does its
business principally In Wisconsin. This
would swell the figures about 90 per
cent. Reliable reports received here
from nearly all parts of the upper Mis-
slssippi are that everything is favorable
for satisfactory logging season. On
the upper prairie there Is slight fall of
snow, and short hauls are being made.
At Rapids there ls two inches Of snow.
At Pine creek one camp has banked
l, 200, 600 feet of logs, There is reported
to be an inch of snow on Rum river, and
