AS a matter of fact, the speech Of the
president was nothing more or less than
a reafirmation of the republican,party
platform with reference to fnances-the
policy of the party is for bimetallism, and
that until this can be safely achieved
through international agreement the
existing gold standard of the country
must be preserved. That was the
declaration of the republican party in
the last presidential campaign, and the
issue upon which it waged and won the
presidential battle, and that was the
declaration Of the president, who is
favorable to bimetallism, and has by nc
means abandoned the idea of securing
an international settlement Of the
money question.

The elasticity of North Dakota re-
sources is proven by the following from
the st. Thomas Times: Our own coun.
of Pembina has a cash balance in all
funds exceeding s1OO,OOO. The same is
true Of Walsh and Trail counties,
while Grand Forks and Cass have
balances largely in excess of that sum
the latter showing a balance almost
reaching 100000. Counties that have
for years been ndebt for large sums are
paying cash for all warrants presented,
and the state is on a cash basis. All
this is, the result of q single crop at fail
prices.

CUSTOMS receipts thus far this month
are in excess of the total for the whole
month of December. There are several
days yet to hear from, so that the total
for January will be at least 100000
more than for the preceding month.
This is an advance of Is per cent in
round numbers over December, and
wool and sugar are still to be heard
from. The January revenues from the
new tariff will be twice as much as
those of August. Owing to the Union
Pacific payments, the deficit in the
treasury has been completely wiped out,
and there is the slight surplus of $780,.
800 for this fiscal year. 1t is evident
that the endless chain has been broken
by the inflow of revenue, for the gold
reserve at tibet first of the week was
figured up at s163,4S3,566 the highest
figure aver reached. The interest pay.
ments have been heavy, but next month
they will decrease materially, and in
March the treasury is certain to be
showing a legitimate surplus of receipts
over expenditures. The republicans
will be able to go into the next congress
sional campaign with a favorable treas
ury statement all around, showing in
creased from customs, the
obliteration of the Pacific railroad debt,
and an i%mpregnable gold reserve.

The moral conditions existing in the
city of Grand Forks appear to be sadly
in need of liberal whitewashing from the
facile pen Of Editor Winship. It is
stated that three saloons have been
built on the ice on the east side Of the
river, so voluminous is the traffic from
Grand Forks to the other side for Ii
quor. The saloons were erected on the
ice to intercept the thirsty pilgrims.

NEXT week representatives of the
fish and game commissions of Mime
sofa, Wisconsin, Illinois, North and
South Dakota and Michigan will meet
at the Great Northern hotel in Chicago
fer the consideration of plans to pro-
mote the game and fish interests of
the states. The idea of the promoters
of the meeting is to secure the adoption
of uniform game laws by all of the
northwestern states, with a view to the
protection Of the game supply before it
shall be exhausted by loose laws and
careless methods. The desired enac-
tions are about as follows: A uniform
law prohibiting the shipping Of game
outside the state in which it is shot;
also a law making it a misdemeanor to
shipped any fish or game unless tagged
as such, the tag to contain also the
shippers name and address, the penalty
to be visited on both the shipper and
the railroad receiving the shipment; a
uniform law allowing the game war
dens of the states to seize the game
coming into their state from another in
the name of that state; the prohibition
of spring shooting of all classes of game;
a uniform open season for game of all
kinds, and with a closed season every
five or six years.: a uniform license fee
of S25 operative upon all hunters going
from n state to another, with a small
gun license in each state.

OFFICIAL PAPER BuRLEIGH co.
SETTLE THE TURTLE NOUN
TAIN CLAIM.

It is generally understood that this
congress will take up and settle the
question of the establishment of an In
dian reservation at Turtle Mountain.
According to more recent reports there
are LOO Indians, full and mixed bloods,
all told, now occupying two congress
sional townships, which were set aside
aside as a temporary reservation by ex-
ecutive order during President Arthur's
administration. These Indians claim
title to about nine million acres of lands
in North Dakota, including the rich
farming sections of Ramsey, Towner,
Rolette and parts of two or three adjoin-
ing counties. The claim has been dis
puted by a few departmental officials,
but is regarded by many others, includ-
ing Secretaries Noble, Smith and Bliss,
as valid.
Six years ago Senator Hansbrough
secured an appropriation of $1,000 and
the appointment of a commission of
three person to negotiate with the Chip
pewa Indians at Turtle Mountain for a.
cession of their claim. The report of
this commission was unsatisfactory to
the interior department, it being con-
sidered incomplete. At the subsequent
congress Senator Hansbrough secured
the appointment of another commission
to treat with these Indians and also an
appropriation of $4,000 to pay expenses.
The chairman of this commission was
the Hon. P. j. McCumber, of Richland
county, who went into the matter very
thoroughly and the result was the form
ulation of a treaty by the terms of
which the Indians are to cede all the
lands that they claim to the government
with the exception of the two congress
sional townships which they o Occupy.
1t was also agreed that an Indian reser-
walton should be established for the
benefit of the Indians and that they are
to be paid one million dollars in settle
ment, in installments of $4,000 per
'annum.
This treaty wat approved by Secretary
Bliss and Indian Commissioner Morgan,
under the Harrison administration, and
vas reported to congress, but no action
was taken at that time. Under the last
Cleveland administration Secretary
Smith and Indian Commissioner Brown
ing urged the ratification of the treaty
and formulated a bill, which was sent
to congress and referred to the commit
tee on Indian affairs of the senate. This
committee reported in favor of the rati-
tication of the treaty, but owing to the
low condition of the treasury at that
time no. action was taken. The bill was
again introduced by Senator Hans
brough at the beginning of the present
congress last March, and is now before
the committee on Indian affairs.
The secretary of the interior and the
commissioner of Indian affairs are in
favor Of the passage of the bill and the
ratification of the treaty and it is under
stood that the committee on Indian
affairs will make another favorable re-
port thereon and that an effort will be
made to incorporate the treaty in the
Indian appropriation bill.

JOHANNESBURG,J Jan. 21.-(Regular
Correspondence.) j. =. Osborne was in
Johannesburg last week en- route to Los
Angeles. having just returned from
Resting Springs in Inyo county. where
he is Interested in twenty-one silver and
lead claims, formerly the property of a
mining company which twenty years
| ago comprised the names of many
prominent Angelenos.. Mr.. Nadeau, af-
| ter whom the Nadeau hotel was named,
was one of the freighters on the line to
these mines. and for months received
500 per ton for freight transported over
| that supposedly desert waste.
| The Resting Springs mines would be
rich If silver was up to it's former stan
dard, but with that commodity" down
to 81, they are valueless except for the
lead that is in them, and that is not
predominating enough to warrant ship
ment by team to railroads 120 miles dis
tant, though in the good old $1.29 days
a mill and smelter were in operation on
the ground and served to extract the
metal from the ores, and the camp
gave employment to 200 men. 1t is es-
timated that nearly a quarter of a mil
lion had been invested in this camp in
machinery alone and this has been hope
lessly lost through the decline in sill
yer. 1t is generally supposed that the
railroad now having it's terminus at this
point will eventually run through that
section. In that event if freight rates
be not too high, these mines can be
worked at a small profit for the lead and
gold which the ores contain.
Kleist & Faris have put in pipe from

latter party went out to continue the
work, and as he approached the shaft
he was confronted by six shooter with
a big burly individual behind 1t who
announced in stentorian tones that he
was Corduroy Jones, and that he
owned the property and would protect
1t with his life. McNulty retired in good
order but reappeared on the scene again
the following morning armed with re-
volver, but instead of finding one man
with whom to contest the ownership OF
the claim he found five men armed with
rifles. He therefore quit and reported
the case to the men from whom he had
leased the claim and they have institut-
ed suit against Jones for possession.
From all reports Jones has no legal
right to the mine, he simply jumped 1t.
