The Indians are handling thiel mon
ny in II more conservative manner
than they did when they secured the
first payment. The reckless element
have not squandered their funds mt the
tables in this city, as they
did on the other occasion. II Is re-
ported however, that they are gam
bling desperately among themselves on
the reservation. Old-fashionad Span.
ish monte is their game. some of the
white gamblers who opened games
were taken in" by the Indian high
rollers The stick game is n favorate
also. The success OF the banker de-
pends upon the skill of the operator,
who conceals a stick in his hands and
the better loses or wins as he fails TO
guess or guesses the location of the stick.
The Indians also play Casino, Freeze
out and Seven up, for large stakes.
A dispatch from keadrick states
that the Crescent Mining Company

"A two-ton stamp mill, but contemplate
putting in fi1e-stamr miil by fall, as
the property improves with develop
ment and warrants this improvement.
Last season this property yielded on
an average Of 40 ounces per month,
which considering the capacity Of the
MILL makes an excellent showing.
The mine will soom he IN shape to
have regular output, and aid consid-
erabIy in giving strength to the camp

Remenlcr this, No pcddler does
anything to help the town. He gives
nothing to schools or churches or pub
lie enterprise. He pays no taxes. He
has nothing in common with our peo-
pie. He can swindle vou--often does,
and you can't help yourself. He has
no store down the street to which you
can return goods that are not up to the
new sample. The itinerant merchant
has no reputation to sustain. He can
cheat you with impunity. The home
merchant is and does different. lie
bears his share of the expense OF good
government. When II subscription
paper is passed he is the first ap-
preached. He builds n house which
enhances the value of all property.
He helps pay for the church IN which
you worship, and the school to which
you send your children. Hc cannot
afford to miswprescnt his goods ~
swindlc. Exchange.
