FL Reno Eagle: For years it has been be-
heved that there were valuable mineral
deposits in the Wichita mountains, south
west of this city, and recently the belief
has been changed into a certainty, and
many prospecting parties have from time
to time invaded the country. The kIowas,
Comanches and Apaches, in whose reser-
walton the mountains are located, are Bit
terly opposed to the invasion and invaders,
and have grown very insOient, if not prac-
tically dangerous. It is generally believed
that they know of mines which they are
determined to keep the whites from dis
covering. A few days ago Secretary
Noble appointed a committee of five men
to go into the mountain country and Sc
cure specimens of minerals for ex-
hibition at the Worlds fair. Mr..
Brown of Guthrie, u member of the
committee, went to Anadarko prepared to
begin his work, but was informed by the
Indian agent that the redskins had just
burned the tents and outfit OF one party of
prospectors, and that it would be unsafe
for him to go 10 the mountains without an
escort of soldiers Mr.. Brown de cided not
to 90 even with the army to back him and
returned to this city. number of FL
Reno men are prospecting in that region.
and it Is not yet known whether the In
dams have interfered with then. One
thing is certain. The gold excitement is
growing and there will soon be enough
white men in the Wichita mountains to
"clean out" ali the indians in the territory
if necessary.
