The Governors guard, consisting Of twelve
men, now came forward, and, surrounded
thus, the Governor told Tecumseh that he
would hold no further conference with him,
and the council broke up in confusion.
Tecumseh repented during the night, and
the next day, after apologizing to the Gov
ernor, was granted another interview. The
Governor however was on his guard lest
anything unusual might happen, and had
two companies of militia near; besides, the
Governor and those who attended him were
we'll armed. Captain Jones's company was
ordered to parade, night and day, and keep
themselves ready for any emergency that
might arise. Tecumseh, however, was not
disposed to be as insolent as he had been,
and told the Governor that he had been Wis
tied by two Americans from the town, who
said that one-half of the people were OPP
posed to Harrison and In favor of giving the
lands back to the Indians; that Harrison
had not received the consent of the govern
ment to purchase them, and that when his
time was up he would be succeeded by a
Just and good man. who would give these
lands back to the Indians. After Tecumseh
finished his speech several other Indians ad-
dressed the Governor, among them being a
Wysndot, an Ottawa, a Pottawatomie, a
Kickapoo and a Winebago. They admitted
having joined Tecumseh's confederacy, and
that he had been appointed by them as their
chief leader. Harrison told Tecumseh that
he would transmit to the President the re-
suit Of the council and would inform him
whatever message he received from him.
He also said that the lands were derived
from the tribes in good faith and by pur-
chase. and that the United States govern
ment WOULD keep them if it had to resort to
war to do it.

REMARKABLE GOLD STRIKE
Fabul0usly Rich Gold Ore Found al
santa Rita, Grant COunty-Old
Mexican Traditions Verified.

prospector named Reagan and his
partner made strike of exceedingly rich
gold ore near Santa Rita last Saturday
Samples of the ore were sent to this
city to be assayed and gave returns of
eighty ounces gold per ton says the Silver
City Enterprise. Specimens, now to be
seen at Ernest's roadhouse below Santa
Rita, are literally covered with gold and
will run away up into the hundreds OF
ounces per ton. The vein lies on the
southwest slope Of Santa Rita mountain,
about mile and half from the Kneeling
Nun.
The old Mexican traditions are to the
effect that rich gold ore was found in
that vicinity and worked more than a
century ago. There is a Mexican named
Galivan now living at Santa Rita who is
over one hundred years old. He has
always insisted that the Spanish worked
some fabulously rich gold mines in that
vicinity, when he was boy.
