NOTHING IN THE UTE SCARE
LIEUT.. LITTEBRANDT LOOKED
FOR THEM IN VAIN.
Captain Cornish Is 20 Be Relieved of
the Ute Agency at Duchesne By
His Own Request.

Vernal, Aug. 15.-Lieutenant Lite
brandt. with his detail of troopers,
passed through Vernal yesterday bound
for Duchesne, after having investigat-
ed the alleged existence of Indians in
the game regions of Routt county,
Colo. From what could be learned the
trip was uneventful and no Utes were
found to bring back.
The news that Captain Cornish is
to be relieved from his duties as Indian
agent at White Rock causes no partic-
ular surprise among those on the in
side, as it is known that the captain
has been exceedingly anxious to get
back to his regiment ever since war
with Spain began, and has requested
that a successor be appointed.
Captain Cornish has been one of the
most popular agents ever in charge at
the agency, and there is very general
regret that he is to leave so soon.
Although the press dispatches state
that Howell P. Myton of the Uintah
commission has been appointed as his
successor, the captain has as yet re-
ceived no official notification of who
his successor will be.
The change will probably occur and
all details arranged by the beginning
of next month.
present stationed at Fort Bayard, New
Mexico, and it is presumed that he
will depart thither and resume COM
mand.
AS yet no contracts for hay at the
fort have been awarded, although the
has been in for some time and
it is rumored that the contract will
not be awarded at all, but that hay
will be purchased from the Indians and
white men barred out. There was an
in this direction last year, but
the outcome was that white men put
in the nay after all for the Indians.
1t is now rumored that the quarter
masters department has signified the
intention of receiving hay this year
from full-blood Indians only.
Just what the result will be, time
only will tell, as it is in the nature of
IN experiment and the. Indians aver
sion to work is well Known.

From Gold Mountain.

Richfield Advocate: W. F. Mitchell,
mining man from Gold Mountain,
was in Richfield last week after more
supplies and provisions. While in town
he called at this office and reports that
his contract on the ditch from the head
Of Fish creek to the C. c. & D. prop
erty, a distance of about three miles,
is half completed. At present he has
five men working on the ditch, and ex-
poets to have it completed by the 1st of
next month.
This is most encoura ging news from
the mountain, as the great probability
is that on the completion of this ditch
a mill will be erected on the property
yet this fall.
The most deplorable feature of the
camp is the presence of certain class
of alfalfa miners, who do nothing much
themselves, but someone else starts
doing something that would in time
make the district great, they are the
first to protest, and, if possible, stop
the work in order that they can have
a good quiet time, and, if they feel like
it. they can sleep till noon. Such a
class is no good to any camp or any
other old thing. If you can't ante, get
out of the pot.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Wheat Opened Firm and Closed Weak
Corn Heavy.


| Chicago, Aug. 1S-Wet weather in the
gether with high cables from Liverpool,
were responsible to some extent for the
firmness that characterized the COM
mencement of trading in wheat. An in
crease in the arrivals up north, and a pre-
diction Of fair weather tonight and Fri
Z day in the spring wheat country changed
the temper of the speculative crowd.
When weakness set in it was more partic
ularly apparent in December wheat, the
disposition among traders being TO stay
out OF September, in view of the small
stocks here and elsewhere. The hope of
higher prices INDUCED in by the bulls in
the market of late nave been largely bas-
ed on the expectation that the bears
would oyerSell themselves for September.
The bears also appeared to have some APP
prehenSion on that score, and transferred
their ventures TO December, thus giving
nervous character to the trading in Sep
TENDER and inducing December TO an alto
geJher unusual discount under such condi-
lions as exist at present. The close was
11sc higher for September and 1aQ5sc high
er for December.
Corn opened weak and became very
heavy during the forenoon on liquidation
by longs and heavy commission house SELL
ing on stop-loss orders. Reports from the
country, however, about the probable
yield of the crop were far from corrobo-
rative of the government figures on con-
dition. September left off unchanged to
1sc higher.
Oats followed corn weak early. but re-
covered later. The close was unchanged
from yesterday.
Provisions ruled dull most of the time
but had a few redeeming intervals of
moderate activity. The feature of the
days business was liquidation by packers
of products previously bought and the |
ready absorption of offerings without a |
large reduction in prices. Pork advanced |
sc, lard declined.
