Issued With the Approval of secre-
tary Bliss.


tary Bliss.
Washington, Aug. 2s.5Commissioner
of Indian Affairs Jones, with the ap-
prevail of Secretary Bliss, has issued
formal instructions for the allotment
OF the Uncompahgre lands in Utah.
James JefTreys of Tennessee and Ross
Guf1n of Missouri are the commission
erg The former is appointed chairman
of the commission and also disbursing
officer. Under these orders, if in the
doubtful contingency that any Uncom-
pahgre Indian wants an allotment out
side of the Uncompahgre or Uintah
reservations. he can select any unoccu-
pied and unentered non-mineraI lands
in Utah The allottments will first be
made on the Uncompahgre reservation,
then on the part of the Uintah reserva-
ton on which the UncomDahgres are
located. and elsewhere upon the latter
as the Indians may select.
The commission is ordered TO explain
to the Uncompahgres the aIlotting act
and the necessity for them to take al
lotments at once if they desire to re-
tain any of their lands within the IN
compahgre reservat ton proper, as 9TH
meAt on April L Other instructions
follow:
To each head of family allot 100 acres
of agricultural and not exceeding 100
acres of grazing lands, and to each
other single person so acres of agricul-
turaI and not over so acres of grazing
lands Indians may select their lands.
heads of families selecting for them
selves and their minor children. The
Indian agent viii select for the or
phans. Allotments should be made
( with reference to the Indians best in
Subdivisions of each agricultural al
/ lotment should be made contiguous. as
! far as practicable. but an allottee may
/ be allowed to select detached tracts in
! order to secure full quota and proper
portion of wood and water privileges.
| Each Indian may select the land so as
/ to retain the improvements already
1 adopted. Where the Indian women
/ have been married to Indian husbands
/ and have children thereby, and nave
been divorced after the Indian custom,
the mother may select land for the
minor children not in charge of the
J father.

time 1t is known as the false cypress.

the miners. however, it always goes
by the name of tin Piute," a corrup-

extensively as ''cure-all." but hereto

The gentlemen gathered about two
bushels of it and have forwarded a
large amount to Lloyd, the Cincinnati;
