The Cnconpahgre Lands.

1t is remarkable that in the four great
annual appropriation bills, carrying an
aggregate of more than $72, 600, 900. which
the House has passed and sent to the Sen.
ate, as a consequence Of the failure of SINH
lar bills at the last session, only one item
has been changed from the conference
agreements Of that session.
This item, of distinction so marked, Is
the one in the Indian bill that provided for
throwing open the lands of the Uncom.
pahgre reservation, In Utah, that contain
deposits of that form Of asphalt or bitumen
to which the name gilsonite has been ap-
piled. The Senate put this item in the bill,
and the House resisted it, but yielded at
length, in the hope that the bill as whole
might thus be enacted before the end Of the
session. That this solitary item should
have been chosen by the House out of the
hundreds in the four renewed supply bills,
as an exception to standing by the old con-
ference agreements throughout, is certainly
suggestive. The fact, also, that unanimous
consent was given In the House to making
that exception, is significant.
When the Uncompahgre Utes were re-
moved from Colorado, years ago, they were
placed upon mountainous reservation in
Utah having very little cultivable soil.
After time valuable asphalt deposits were
observed on part of their land, and bill
was introduced into the Fifty first Congress
which was designed to open those lands 10
entry. The bill was passed, but vetoed by
President HARRISON. In the following Con.
gress the project " us renewed, In a somewhat
different form. but the bill failed of enact.
ment. In the Fifty-third Congress still an.
other effort was made, through an item In
the Indian Appropriation bill. Again the
House and Senate threw certain safeguards
around the asphaltum lands. but confer.
ence amendment, hurriedly accepted, went
much further toward opening these lands
on an expressed contingency.
While these efforts at legislation were
going on, many lode claims were placed ON
the lands, such as the Scorpion, Lucky Boy,
Plumed Knight, Lorna Doone, Frying Pan,
and 80 on, and 1t was hoped that the Gov.
ernment would allow entry in tho ordinary
way. But the Secretary of the Interior, in
his report for 1895, insisted that, IL this
were done, few persons would obtain
them at practically no cost. "and then
enormous profits, which at least in part
should go into the Treasury, will be made
by the companies organized to operate
them He therefore recommended that
these asphalt deposits should be disposed
OF by lease or sale to the highest bidder:
The law OF 1894, even when altered in
conference In way that neither the House
