Secretary Hohe Smith has heard the
argument Of counsel upon the applica-
ton OF the Gibson Asphaltum Company
for the restoration OF the two most east
erly tiers of townships now included in
the Uncompahgre Indian reservation in
Utah. 1t was the contention of counsel
that these Indians hold the lands they
occupy by sufferance only, and therefore

terror have anv right to lease any mart
If them for mining or any other mr.
pose. They argued that the only wav in
which the asphalt deposits in the reser.
ration can be rendered accessible is nv
'estoring the lands to public domain. and

etary announced that he had serious
doubts as to his authority. and in anv
went he would not do so. He thought
t probable he would send a communities
