When the United States government
buys out the lands of an Indian tribe it
does not pay over the money directly to
them and let them do as they please with
the sum The amount of the purchase
money is credited to the tribe, and the
United States pays them annually the
interest on that sum. Consequently
there Is always a fund from which to
make the payments. If all the millions
were paid to them personally in a lump,
for about three days there would be
tribe of very drunk Indians. Then some
traders and sharpers would go array
with immense sums in their pockets, and
the red men that survived theroyal drunk
would be left paupers on the govern
ment's hands. For this reason the In
dian wards receive annually the interest
ON payment money of the lands they
have sold the United States.
The annual payments of interest range
from half million dollars to less than a
hundred thousand for each tribe The
money is allotted to the Chippewas,
Cour d'Alenes and other tribes of wild
indians, while the FIVE civilized tribes of
the Indian territory herokees, Creeks.
Choctaws, Chickasaws and Seminoles--
receive also their share and are growing
rich. The Omahas and Winnebagoes,
among the most highly civilized, get no
annuity, but take care of themselves.
Richest of all, however, are the lazy
and vagabondish Osages. There are
now only some 1900 of them and the
number is diminishing, but they get
every year $500, 1000. 1t is divided equal
ly among them all-men, women and
children.
1.-THE trader at the agency gets the
greater part of it within an hour after
1t has been distributed" says a news
paper correspondent. The Osages are of
30 hopelessly uncivihzed character that
the government viii not pay them the
full amount of even their interest annu-
ally, SO that this, too, is accommodating to
their credit They are probably the
only people on record who are getting
richer against their will, for they beg
every year for larger sums to be paid
them. But Uncle Sam says no. When
they adopt the ways of civilization and
work for their living they shall have it
all, but not till then. This they viii not
do, however. Meantime their number
grows less every decade, and the indi.
vidual sums received are larger. They
ara simply killing themselves off by laxi-
meas. and the time will come in few
decades more when there will be no
more Osages.

AsTUTB APA0HEs.

From the Arizona Republican.
IL was an interesting story that an
old member of the California column
told the reporter yesterday. He said:
In the spring Of '64 we were quart
cred and fortified in a good defensive
position whore Camp Grant now
stands. We were on our guard
against Apaches. for there were thous-
ands of them about. The Graham
mountains, whose cliffs stood boldly
out only one mile east OF our camp,
were lined with Indians every morn
ing and evening. We numbered just
ninety-two men, and we knew that
the copper-colored dogs could outnum-
hos ton to ono, and thatlfthey only
had the sand they could annihll-
ate as.
"But we know that they did not
possess the sand requisite to tackle
the Anglo-Saxon, so we should our
ground without further worry than
keeping four men on picket duty con-
'tinually for we did not propose to be
surprised.
One afternoon, about three hours
fore sundown, an alarm was given by
the easternmost picket. He discharg-
ed his rifle in the air. and when the
sergeant Of the guard with a file of
men hurried to his position, it was im
mcdiatcly seen that a small body Of
the redskins were approaching the
cantomcutn.
They were then distantabout half a
mile, and on the discharge Of the gun,
raised what was supposed to be a dag
OF truce.
AS we awaited thcir approach,
everyone OF us prepared to turn loose
at the slightest sign Of h'cachery. On
their nearer approach, the flag OIL
truce proved to be a V shaped banner
that, it was clident had once adorn-
cd the neither extremetles of some
white man.
At recognizing this we were iuccn-
5ed, for we knew that the man who
had cncc worn that flag Of truce had
fallen q victim to their murderous
hate. But we held our peace, and
when tney had advanced within speak
iHg distance, our captain with ten
picked men adyanced to meet them.
And what do Yau- -thinis they had
come 70 propose? They told our cap
tain that they had discovered another
sfiba OF white men about 100 miles
south, and offered to join in with us
and so down aad annihllate them.
The other tribe Of white men vas
from cur own column
stationed at what is now known as
Camp Bowie; and these Indians in |
taair ignorapce, thought we were sep.
aratc tribes, and that by pitting one
against the other they could clean us
both out.
It's needless TO say that they were |
sent back with their flag of truce.
Bat q few days later we advanced on
their strongholds and gave them such (
a thrashing as they never forget. lam
satisfied that they never forgetit, for
very few Of them remained alive, or

SOUTHWEST SILVER CONVENTION

To the prospcctors, miners, mino and claim
owners Of New Mexico, Arizona and West
crn Texas
The depression that exists through
out the southwest is due to the unnat-
ural iation Of silver and to the
evil effects caused by that portion Of
the alien act that prohibits the invest
ment Of foreign capital in mining prop
erty in the territories. The object Of
the Southwest silver convention that
is to convene on the 10Th day Of Dec
ember, 1891 in I'll Paso, Texas, is to
discuss and take steps to remedy
these evils. No other subject but the
SILVER question and the modification
ofthe alien act viii be entertained by
the convention, and all attempts to
peryert the object cf this mass meet
ing OF miIers by the introduction Of
questions foreign to the principles for
which it was called, win be suppress
ed. Their, toration Of Silver to its
normal value of parity with gold,
1920, and the obliteration of an un-
just discrimination against the miners
operating in the territories will en-
gage the entire energy and time Of
the assembled miners Of the south
west.
