Stuart has stated as much 10 parties here
who are interested, in the project. AT what
point the mill will take place has not yet
fully been decided, the two places most

If the mill takes place on Indian soil, as
has now been arranged, 1t must come un-
der the patronage of the Chickasaw govern.
States court in Indian Territory will be
exercised to prevent 1t, but the lawyers con-
eur in the S opinion IIu, that s there is,i no law law to to
the jurisdiction that congress has vested in
any tribunal over such matters, but it only
ferred on it. The Chlckasaw legislature,
which Is now in session, will not adjourn

representatives down from there, putting
forth reasons why their respective localities
should have it: There is at least no serious
thought of going to Mexico, Arizona, Colo

the five civilized tribes in the territory
will be selected. On Monday or Tuesday
next the Florida Athletic club will meet
in this city and consider all the propo-
sitlons and hear each representative at
that meeting. Brady will appear for Cor
bett and Julian for Fltzsimmons. AS soon
as the place is determined by that meet

is the exact situation upon that point.
