SODA SPRINGS. Ida, Aug. II
Settlers from the country north con-
tinued to arrive here all last night
and this morning some thirty families
were camped in and about Soda. To-
days advices confirm, in part, the
stories that led to Yesterdays alarm.
the Caribou stage brings reliable
news to the effect that at least 200
Indians camped last night on Willow
Creek, thirty miles north OF hare. A.
Brown, a rancher, while looking for
horses ran into d camp Of Indians.
They were friendly and talked freely.
They said they had just come out of
Jackson's Hole and were going back
10 the reservation. Replying to
Browns questions, they said they had
not heard of fighting or trouble in the
Hole. The white men did not want
them to hunt there so they had no
intention of disturbing The settlers.
Many of the ranchers who came in
yesterday are starting back this
evening.
Since the above news was received
most of them are leaving their fami-
lies here. All reports are to the effect
that the Indians are peaceable and
10 one has been molested. At 8
o'clock tonight some section hands of
the railroad have just reported that
$50 Indians are camped on the Bear
river about two miles east of here.
They have their squaws and papooses
with them and are evidently heading
for the reservation.

MINERAL LANDS.
HON. Il. G. MERRILL SAYS LANIER-
EAUX'S STATEMENT IS WRONG.
1t Is Gross Misrepresentation,
without Foundation in Fact-Ac-
funI Cost of Classification Is One
and One-Fifth Cents an Acre.
Especial to The HeraId.J

BUTTE, Mont. Aug. Hon.
Thomas G. Merrill, president of the
Montana state board of mineral land
commissioners, is in the city and made
a statement in reply to the Associated
Press report from Washington as to
the cost and alleged dissatisfaction
with the examination and classical
tion of mineral lands within the North
ern Pacific grant by the government
commissioners. Mr. Merrill declares
the statements of Commissioner Lam
oreaux to be gross Misrepresentation
and without foundation in fact. In
stead of costing the government %
cents an acre for classification, the
actual expense so far has been 10
cents per acre, at which cost the com
missioners of the Helena district last
month examined and classified over
$4,000 acres. The work of the commits
sioners, he says, is honest and fair and
eminently satisfactory to the people,
which the other plan suggested by
Lamoreaux would not be. He also
says it was well understood at the
time the present law was approved by
Congress that the work would take
about four years, but that the total
cost at the present rate will not ex-
coed 5000, 900, instead of SS,00O,00O, aa
claimed by the interior department.

CHICAGO, Aug. IA special to the
Post From Washington says:
Politics in the state of Virginia. are be-
ginning to assume a new phase and the
silver Democrats are preparing for u
form OF campaign which they believe will
have the effect OF changing the character
of the present controversy between the
factions of the party. They propose prac-
ucally to abandon free coinage as the
leading issue of the campaign and to
place the sound money men upon the
defensive by attacking what they regard
as the most vulnerable points in the
sound money doctrine. To do this. they
propose to use the presidents message TO
the last Congress upon the financial ques-
ton, the report OF Secretary Carlisle upon
the same subject and the bill which Mr..
Carlisle prepared and subritted 70 the
House, together with the bill which was
afterwards substituted for the Carlisle
bill by the Banking and Currency commit
tee, to show that the administered ton and
its followers would retire all the green
backs, the treasury notes and ultimately
the silver dollars, thus causing a contrac-
ton of the currency by the withdrawal
They will further attempt TO show that
the definition Of sound money given by
the advocates of sound money means gold
coin and national bank notes.
The plan adOpCed by the silver men for
launching this method of campaign is
somewhat peculiar. Some time ago Rep
resentative-elecr Otey. OF the Sixth Nir-
ginia congressional district, issued a call
for a convention of silver men of that
district. AS Otey was elected to Con-
greSS as a. silver man ana his cOnSt1tu-
ency is largely composed of silver men,
it was naturally wondered what pupose
he could possibly serve by holding such a
meeting.
1t now transpires that this convention
is to be the first step in the movement
the silver men are about TO start and
that all the Influential silver Democrats
of the state are behind il. The conyen-
ton will endorse free coinage at the "a
ito of 16 to l, but this is TO be only a
minor issue, and dependence Tor the eff
feet is to be placed in the other members
OF the programme.
