WASHINGTON. ID. c., January IA
well authenticated report, which is
afloat tonight, shows how seriously the
Indian situation is regarded at the War
Department General Miles now has
under his command in the Northwest
the whole available force OF infantry
and cavalry that can well be allowed to
leave their posts in the different parts
of the country. Even with these, it is
feared that he may not be able to
squelch the wretched Indians as
promptly rs the administration thinks,
for its own credit, it should be done.
If the campaign lags. or II Miles should
meet with disaster, it is said the PreSi-
dent will call for 10000 volunteers TO
Join Miles forces in the field. The in
tentIon is to raise the volunteers In
States where the climate is somewhat
similar to that of Dakota, so that the
tenderfoot will not get his toes frozen
when he goes forth to cover himself
with glory fighting the half-starved
SaVageS.

Contests Pending In the Land ONCE Over
Property Near Butte.
The officials of the Helena land Office
have before them the testimony in q con-
test for the possession Of valuable property
near Butte. The case is that of w. +. Cob
ban, p. A. Largey and others against the
Northern Pacific railroad, and involves
ownership TO a section between the race
track and the Bell smelter. The claimants
hold that the land Is mineral in character
and therefore exempt from the railroad
company's grant. They say the land is rich
in gold, and one of the claimants has in his
possession a vial of the precious dust which
he says was PANIED from the gravel. The
railroad company contends that tn, land ia
more valuable as an addition to Butte than
it is as a mineral claim. The ground in
dispute was mined for placer gold in 1868.
l~ocators in 1873, and relocated by Lee
Mantle and others who held it until 1882.
when the Northern Pacific jumped in and
claimed it. As some of the ground has
been sold for building purposes, there is q
prospect of long litigation in case the COM
pany wins.
Another important case is pending in the
land Office here involving somewhat similar
claims. Some months ago Lee Mantle and
ter sections near Butte for $4,000. They
paid $4,000 down, and the balances is near
~ due, The purchase was made from the
estate of a man who had bought it from the
railroad company. just before the time
comes for making final payment it is dis
covered that two Of the three quarter Sec
tions are covered by mineral applications.

that it will be much sought for lodging
during the cold winter nigh,S.
The new beds were pla ced in position
yesterday and they were grea tly needed as
the old free-for-all was in a W ry unhealthy

bedsteads have been put in. they are of
iron frame in double with two mattresses
each, one above the other. They are pre-
ferable to some of the beds IN the cheap
