General Merriam OF the department OF

are now hunting 10 Western Colorado
need game to keep from starvation and
adds that the state and national laws
that prevent them from going over thsir
old hunting grounds are an outrage on
the down-trodden race. In speaking
OF the rights OF the Indians General Nor
riam observed:
Recently Investigated these Indians
and find that they are in distress. The
government does not give them . for.
tune. They cannot live upon that They
are engaged in agricultural and cattle
pursuits but the majority Of them are m
a wretchedly poor condition, and in need
OF assistance. My sympathies are faI

not only been fulfilled but American
commerce and industries have so flour

Confidence has been restored among the

Right here in the Crystal River valley
We are beholding the effect Of this new
condition in the building of the Crystal
River Railroad and opening up of the
coal mines at McClures and in Coal
Basin and now coke ovens to be built at
Redstoue. Those opposed to the admin
istration are trying to deceive the people
with the cry Of Imperialism which
will prove a boomerang Of surprising
force. The people remember the wisdom
Of President Mckinley when Congress
would have involved the country in war
while in an unprepared state. They also
recall that the shortest and most remark

Contacts

We notice in the recently
Towing reported gold find along the
Contacts Alaskan coast it is asserted
that ten inch ledge which
bears the values can be traced for forty
miles. This may seem an astounding
statement to some parsons but not to
one who has witnessed the facility with
which some prospectors move veins, con
facts and ore-chutes. Not only do they
locate them at pleasure on one mountain
but at pleasure locate them on numerous
mountains. One contact In this camp
must be as crooked as southern river
and have the same difficulty of the Irish
man who met himself coming back, for
1t has been reliably ~ located on nearly
every mountain Of the camp.
