GIVE THEM A REST.

BY The letter from the Dawes
commi ssion, which now has its
headquarters in this city, it may
be seen that it will devolve upon
the chief to again appoint a COM
mission of Cherokee citizens to
meet the commission and make
further attempt at negotiating with
reference to the proposed changes
in the government of this territory.
There has been a great change of
sentiment in the Cherokee nation
along the line of the mission of the
Dawes commission within the last
half year. This change of senti-
ment on the part of the Cherokees
has not been of their own volition.
They would have vastly preferred
the discontinuance of the Dawes
commission, and to that end made
their fight in Washington last win
ter. But now that the commission
has been sent back here with in

Bicycle manufacturers and firm
handling them are beginning tC
fail. This had been predicted.
Bicycles have been sold at exorbi.
tant prices. There has been a
great demand for them, but the
limit has been reached. Too much
attention was given to weight and
speed and too little to durability
and usefulness. In two years the
500 wheel will go begging at one-
fourth this amount and they will
be made more durable and useful.
At the same time it will be capa-
BILE of considerable speed. The
new bicycle, electric cars and
horseless carriages will practically
drive all horses out of large cities
in the next five years. In a short
time many houses with a large
number of wheels on hand will
want a receiver appointed. The
boom in price has commenced TO
fall out and it will go before the
year is over.

Judge WHY'S decision relative to
the suspended school board who
will not fully acquiesce in the
judges opinion. When the Ma

funds, the result was not hard to
guess. Gus Ivey is nephew of
Hoolie Bell, and he is indeed the

Phoenix: The negroes in the
neighborhood of Black Jack are
greatly exercised over the 'fsigns
and manifestations" that are be-
ing preached by hoodoo minister.
They have been wrought up to the
belief that the end of all things is
liable to happen most any hour OF
the day or night and a good many
have quit working crops and given
themselves over to prayer and
lamentation. This fall when the
meat is scarce and the corn-crib is
empty they will doubtless wish
they had prayed less and worked
the cotton and corn more.

The New Emancipation Day.

September /, 1896, marks the
emancipation of 100000 people
from judicial bondage. Our relief
from Arkansas and Texas serfdom
is too heartily welcome to our peo-
pie to permit the day of our great
deliverance to pass unnoticed. The
Territorial Home Rule celebration
at Purcell, Chickasaw nation, is
intended to fittingly commemorate
the great event. A cordial invita-
tion is extended to every man,
woman and child in the territory
to come and rejoice with US. The
celebration will be held in a beau
tiful grove capable of shading 25,-
600 people. A big barbecue free
to all. Speakers of national repu-
tation will be present. Re- Union
of Blue and Gray. Amusements

creased authority and the ultimate
intention of congress is no longer
a matter of doubt, it behooyes the
Cherokees to make the best they
can of a matter that is very much
against their wishes. In the Sc
lection OF a commission to meet
and confer with these representa-
tives Of the United States il is to
be earnestly hoped that Chief
Mayes will let the old time Chero-
kee leaders have a much needed
rest and appoint men who are not
wrapped up in self-interest so
thoroughly as to lose sight of what
will be for the best interests of the
masses.
There is every reason to believe
that the Dawes commission will
practically turn the question of
citizenship over to the Cherokee
authorities if they show any will
lingness to take hold and make a
census roll that will bear scrutiny.
There is little danger that Watts
and his 5000 or 10000 claimants
will get in; in fact, there is good
reason for believing that very few
of them will ever be admitted.
But the present is a time for the
exercise of moderation and to show
a disposition to mete out equal
and exact justice to all. II this is
to be the policy of the chief, the
old timers, who are more or less
under suspicion, must be turned
down and new and clean men
brought to the front. Let US have
a commission that our people are
not afraid of, and all will be well.

I'HE DISPUTE
Assurances the Matter Will
Be Terminated Shortly.
TO SAVE BRITISH PRIDE
Believed the Basis Of it Will be
Arbitration as Proposed by
the United States.
TO SAVE BRITISH PRIDE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17-Aside from the
leisurely manner in which the Venezuela
commission is arranging to prosecute
its work, there are other indications that
the administration has become con-
WINGED this august body will not have
the honor of settling the great boundary
dispute.
While il cannot be stated positively
that this belief is based entirely upon
any specific reports from Ambassador
Bayard upon the subject, yet there is
reason to believe some assurances OF q
nature has come to the state
department that the matter will be ter
minated shortly, probably within two
months, or before a report can be re8s-
onably expected from the Venezuelan
commission, anG upon lines that will be
unobj to our government. 1t
is believed that the basis of it will be
arbitration as proposed originally by
the United States, but with limitation
that will suffice at least to save British
pride and appear to MAINTAIN British
consistency.
This is likely to be found in az agree
ment between Great Britain and Vene-
zuela, directly brought about through
the good offices of third party. 1t is
to submit to a joint commission the title
of the territory south of the Schomberg
line, with proviso that if, in the course
of the inquiry of the commission, the
evidence appears to touch British title
to the lands lying to the eastward Of
that line, then the body may extend
functions to adjudicate such title.

The Utah Senators.

Frank j. Cannon, one Of the republi-
can caucus nominees for United States
senator from U tab, is the son of George
Q. Cannon. Frank j. Cannon Is, by his
own confession, "a printer, newspaper
writer and republican" He was born
at Salt Lake City, and has been identi-
fed with the interests of the territory
and state all his life. He has been in
politics for number of years and made
the race for congress in 1892, but was
defeated by Rswlins, democrat. He
eveDed the score next time, however,
going TO the fifty-fourth congress over
his opponent by about 1900 votes. He
is a graduate of the university of Utah,
and is a successful business man.
Arthur Brown is a Michigan man,
who came west about twenty-five years
ago, settling originally in Idaho and
tRence coming to this city, where he
has resided for twenty years. He has
served the repub lican party conspicu-
ously since the division on party lines,
and is recognized as lawyer Of marked
ability.
He is protectionist and a radical free
silver advocate. His relations with the
Mormon church as counsel in important
cases is supposed to have given him
some of the surprising strength which
was shown in the caucus, but he is not
a Mormon.

Silver Will be the Issue.

DENVER, jar. lex Congressman
W. j. Bryan of Nebraska was an inter-
ested spectator at the Colorado mining
stock exchange this morning. To re-
porter he said of the silver question:
at will te the main, and probably
the only issue of the coming campaign.
The republican convention will in all
proba blity,be controlled by the gold bugs.
The democratic convention may or may
not be under control of the same ele-
ment. Should the gold bugs prevail
there will be a great deal of boiling
among silver men among the leaders,
and even more among the masses of the
people. Should the silver men carry
the convention, however, the gold bugs
will bolt. Then there will be combine
between silver forces and the result
will be the same"
What do you think OF the bond Is

at is infamous. In the frat place,
it will involve heavier taxation on an
already overtaxsd people. and in the eec
ond it will tie up Sl00,0O0,000 in Wash
ington that we need in circulation"
"Were you pleased with President
Clevelan as Venezuelan policy?"
ENTIRELY so. 1t was emirently the
right thing to do, and admire him for
standing by the Monroe doctrine"
Just after call, Bryan Was asked to
speak. He naturally confined his re
marks to the financial question, giving
some attention, however, to the tariff.

Late Literary News.

No one ever thought OF Introducing so
expensive feature as photographic color
work in the days when the leading
magazines sold for $500 year and 30
cents copy. But times change, and
the magazines change with them. 1t
has remained for The Cosmopolitan,
sold at one dollar year, to put in an
extensive photographic plant capable of
printing $40, 600 pages day Zone color. }
The January issue presents as frontis-
piece a water-color drawing by Eric
Pape, illustrating the last story by
Robert Louis Stevenson, which has
probably never been excelled even in
the pages Of the pages of the finest
dollar French periodicals.. The cover
of The Cosmopolitan is also changed, a
drawing of page length by the famous
Paris artist Rossi, in photographic colors
on white paper takes the place of the
MANILA back with it's red stripe. Here
after the cover is to be fresh surprise
each month.

a New Traafu,anS.

An important process has just been
brought to light, according to an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch, whereby low grade
ores can be successfully treated at a
profit. A test has been made in Color
ado and So ore yielded good returns.
The inventors use bromide, but recover
1T continuously at an extremely low
figure. Mr.. Cassel is the inventor of tie
we'll known cyanide process. and is also
the originator OF the Cassel Gola Elk
traction company of Glasgow, to whose
process Is due the immense development
of the South African gold fields. This
is the age OF progression and the day is
not far distant when the modern methods
of ore treatment will be universally used
in handling low grade ores. Arizona has
millions of tons OF low grade ore rang
ing from So to $50 which cannot be han
died or shipped, but the many improve
ments, methods and processes that
within the last few years have been
demonstrated, will serve to
bring some OF these leads within the
limits of profitable working.

Another Rich Strike.

Another excitement was caused last
night by report Of another rich strike
being made at South Pass in the vicinity
OF the Pearce district. II appears that
Fred Locklin and Mr.. Miller, the To-
Gators, had intended to dig well at the
point where the strike was made, and
after sinking a foot or two, encountered
the rich ledge, which carries gold in
plentiful quantities. The ledge was
traced on the surface, end like the
Pearce claim, had been run over by
prospectors hundreds of times, thinking
it worthless. 1t is likely to prove an
other bonanza in this vicinity, which
now appears to be a veritable treasure
field.
Parties coming through the Pass saw
some of the ore at the Locklin ranch
last night, and state it is literally covered
with gold. A number of citizens and
prospectors left today for the find, and
further particulars will be known to-
morrow.-Prospector.

The MYsterious Three.

About a week ago number of lnvi-

mated hour the invited were on hand.

splendid game WAS enjoyed. Twenty
six hands were played and prizes were
awarded to both ladies and gen tlemen
Cor the poorest as well ss the best scores
made The awarding OF the prizes and
the prizes themselves created much
merriment. Each article had be- pro-
fusely wrapped ia red tissue paper and
placed in boxes. These were bound in
like material and when brought in for
delivery by the fair host IS presented a
most imposing appearance. Refresh
ments, both dainty and substantial were
then served. The cOlors of THE Mys-
terous Three" are red and this was the
prevailing color of the evening. A most
delightful time was had and whoever
THE Mysterious Three" may be they
certainly made ten etrike in the affec-
tons of those invited to participate in
last evenings pleasures. Mrs. Stienfeld
is a most charming hostess and 1--WE
have had such a delightful time" was
the sincere expression of those present

A Boss Mine.

1t has long been q common saying
that all theories regarding mining
are upset in Arizona. Another mineral
break has recently been brought to light
in the Orc Blsnco district. 1t is what
may be termed caliche gold ledge.
There is large ledge of porphyry, and
lying against it a deposit or ledge Of
matter similar to caliche, which occurs
in such large deposits in Southern Ariz-
ona. This csliche varies in width from
six inches to one foot, and tests show
that it carries from $50 to S75 10 the
ton. 1t is easily extracted and easily
worked, the gold being extracted by
washing, either in psn or rocker.
After being taken from the ground
the caliche is allowed to remain exposed
to the sun several days, or until dried
1t is then put in water, when it acts like
lime, Stacking and releasing the gold.
The six feet of porphyry will average
Sl2 In gold. There are three locations
on the ledge, owned respectively by COL
Jim Holden, DR.. A. III. Noon and Mr.
Barclay. Whenever any of these gen.
tlemen are in need of money to buy
cigarettes with they dig out a few
pounds OF the caliche, dry it in frying
pan and wash out the gold in the bread
pan, il they have one.

Another illustration of the fact that
Arizona is not more than half prospect
ed was made about two weeks ago in
the Orc Blanco country. For years
prospectors knew of large ledge, wept
over it aud examined it careless. 1t
remained for a Mr.. Gray to discover its
value. He knocked off some of the rock,
thought it was worth assaying, and was
almost psralyzed when he received q
return of 600 ounces In silver and four
ounces in gold to the ton. He i'm
