Washington. April Am effort has
been made by Representative Mondell
OF wyoming to have the Big Horn hot
springs on the Shoshone Indian res
ervation, in Fremont county. Wyom-
ing, purchased by the government and
held as a public reservation as the hot
springs of Arkansas are. Indian In
spector Mclaughlin has been sent by
the Interior department to negotiate
with the Indians for cession OF the
springs and a tract ten miles square
surrounding them. II is not proposed
to pay all the purchase money by one
appropriation. but to place most OF IL
TO the credit of the Indians to be paid
from the treasury in installments.
The Big Horn springs are said TO
possess remarka BILE medicinal qualities
and are scientifically called sulphur
springs. They are near the Big Horn
river with snow capped mountains on
either side and empty into the river in
picturesque cascades. IL is the gov
ernments policy. Mondell says. II
gradually reduce the Indian reserva-
tions. as the land Is not needed by the
Indians, and II Is believed that the
springs can be acquired now more
cheaply than when they have become
better known. lie is confident the
springs would become a resort and be
a source OF revenue TO the government
from rentals IL they were managed as
the Arkansas hot springs have been.
