Indians Progress.

ST. PAUL July 2S.-Colonel Robert A.
Gardner, of Washington, United States
inspector of Indian agencies. is at the
Merchants. He has spent the greater
part of the past summer in the Western
and Southwestern states examining the
agencies. He reports that the Indians
are showing signs of progress in agricul-
tural pursuits, and in his opinion the
advent of the railroads has done more
for the civilization of the American
Indian than any other influence in the
last twenty years. Three months ago
he witnessed the distribution Of $500, 900
among the Indians at CCeur d'Alene,
giving each Indian something over

MININlaG In NEVADA.
Other Reason, Given Why il Does Not
Prosper.

Following his statement of a short time
since, as to why mining does not pay in
Nevada, General Robert NJ, Clarke in
the Reno Gazette. now submits this.
"rhe blight upon mining is not wholly
due to foolish State laws and dishonest
management Other causes, the most
fragrant and oppressive are the discrimi-
nations and eytortions of public carriers
The railroad companies delivering freight
in Nevada discriminate between indi.
viduals and localities. and eXtort rates
grossly unreasonable, in excess of fair
compensation, and of the rates charged
by carriers in other localities. The
charges for hauling freight from Ogden to
I Elko, distance of 276 miles, are greater
than the charges for hauling similar
freight from Ogden to San Francisco, a
distance of SO miles. The average rate
five times greater than the latter In
some cases the charge for hauling from
San Francisco to Reno distance of BOG
miles, is greater than the charge for haul
Ing from san Francisco to New York, q
distance of more than 5000 miles. The
rates charged bear no Just relation to the
service performed, but are graduated by
competition favoritism, prejudice, and
what the traffic will bear" Local rates
bear no proportion to through rates, and
are exacted in utter disregard of the cost
of the haul The people OF Nevada are
charged five cents mile for travel,
while the people of California are charged
but three cents mile. Shippers in Ne.
vada pay
MORE THAN DOUBLE THE FREIGHT
per mile than the people of California
pay, and in some cases more than ten
times the fright paid in other localities
for the same service. If rates of freight
were made reasonable, and diacrimina
tion prevented, this alone would revive
our industries. The supplies which the
people Of Nevada consume primarily come
from the east. The great bulk Of then
are transported by rail from eastern mar
kets through Nevada to San Francisco
and back again to Nevada. That good
purchased in New York, and consumed
