Narrow GAUGE Railroads.

With the exception of a few miles Of
from Salt Lake to Garfield
Beach, there is no longer any narrow
gauge railway in Utah. and even that
little remainder will be done away with
next year. In Colorado and New MeXi-
there is still a considerable mileage
of narrow gauge railroad, but that, too,
is disappearing, and will be supplanted
by standard gauge before many years
have passed. The narrow gauge did
regions in the days when capital for the
construction of railroads was hard to
secure, and railroads had to be built at
one-half to three-fifths Of the cost that
a standard gauge railroad would have
cost. 1t was possible to run a narrow
gauge railroad through the mountains
where it had been supposed that only a
stage coach could be used. Many sec
tons of the west would have gone with
out a railroad for many years longer
had it not been for the narrow gauge
construction. But the day of the narrow
gauge has passed. Engineering has ad-
vanced so far thai now standard gauge
railroads can be constructed wherever
it was possible to lay narrow gauge
tracks. The interchange of traffic and
cars also is such that a narrow gauge
railroad is handicapped in competing
for through business.

legislative and other measures tending
toward this end.
8. The diffusion of knowledge re-
garding the conservation, management
and renewal of forests. the proper uti-
l~ization of their products, methods of
reforestation of waste lands, the plant
ing Of trees for ornament, and cognate

OLD SPANISH MINES.
A Discovery That Was Recently Made in
Southeastern Utah.
(Rocky Mountain News.)

(Rocky Mountain News.)
The details of the discovery of an old
Spanish mine in San Juan county, in
southeastern Utah, as given in a News
special from Moab, are merely confirm
atory of traditions which have long ex-
listed as to the manner in which the
Spaniards overran the southwest 300
years ago in their search for gold. This
search would appear to have extended
toward the Colorado river country, gen.
orally west from Santa Fe, and north
ward along the eastern base of the
mountains as far as central Wyoming.

and relies in Wyoming by Col. C. G.
C%outant, the historian of hat state,

Spaniards prospected that locality, and
in their crude way worked some gold
mines.
1t may be noted as one of the strange
Incidents of these early times in the
Rocky mountain country that the Span
iards, with all their eager thirst for the
yellow metal, neve penetrated the
country where the great gold belt of
Colorado has been uncovered. They
crossed it to the south, and marched
to the east of it in their incursions to
the north. Had IN of their adventur-

THE INDIANS
In NEW MEXICO.
From the Annual Report
of the Secretary of the
Interior.
THE NAVAJO RESERVATION,
An Executive Order Extending Its Bound
aries Dispute Between the Pueblos
and the Albuquerque Land & Irri-
cation Company.

NAVAJO INDIAN RESERVATION.
By executive order of January 6, 1880,
certain lands lying within the bounda-
ries of the territories of New Mexico
and Arizona were set apart as an addi-
ton to the Navajo reservation.
BY executive order Of May II, 1884,
certain lands lying north of 36 degrees
80 minutes north latitude, between 11O
degrees and Ill degrees and 30 minutes
west longitude, were added to the Nav
ajo Indian reservation, and it was
thereby provided that any tract or
tracts within the region of country de-
scribed as aforesaid which are settled
upon or occupied, or to which valid
rights have attached under existing
laws of the United States prior to the
date Of this order, are hereby excluded
from this reservation"
And by executive order of January s,
1900. the Navajo Indian reservation was
further extended from its hen most
westerly boundary westward to the Lit
tie Colorado river, so as to make tIat
river, the Grand canon, forest reser 70,
and the Colorado river proper the west
ern boundary of the reservation.
BY enrolled bill house resolution No.
adjustment of rights Of settlers on the
Navajo Indian reservation, territory of
Arizona it vas provided, among other
things, that all that portion of the
Navajo Indian reservation in Arizona
lying north of SO degrees 80 minutes
north latitude, and west of the 111th
meridian, be, and the same is hereby
opened for mining purposes only anC
subjected to the mining laws of the
United States
This bill, which was amended by the
senate to the extent of the above pro
viso, was reported upon by me adverse
ly to the president for the reason tina
about $50, 900 acres of land would b.
taken from the reservation, besides re
ducing the water privileges on tn
western boundary, which had been Sc
apart in January last in order to en-
able the Indians to obtain within tn
limits of their reservation sufficien
grass and water for their tiOcks ant
herds, and thus prevent contention ant
friction between them and the whites.
On May 8 last the president returned
the bill to the house of representative
without his approval.

The respectable and public-spirited
Republican newspapers and some of the
Democratic papers of the territory are
coming to the front in support of Gov
ernor Otero's reappointment when his
present term expires. This is natural.
These papers follow the trend of public
opinion in their sections. They see what
the people want, and of course advo-
cate it. This fact may be a thorn in
the sides Of Il few INSCRIPTIONS, grasp
ing and selfish politicians, who use the
Republican party as a cloak for their
nefarious acts. but it is a fact just the
same. and this fact speaks for itself.

PUEBLO INDIANS,

Last year the Albuquerque Land and
Irrigation Company, a corporation eX-
listing under the laws of New Mexico,
sought to appropriate surplus waters of
the Rio Grande at a point just south
of the pueblo of San Felipe, and to con-
struct a canal through that pueblo and
also through Santa Ana and Sandia
pueblos and the lands of many individ-
uals. Protests were made, and the mat
ter came into the district court at Santa
Fe, which held that the company had
a right to construct the canal across the
Indian lands, but that the Indians had
rights as prior appropriations of water
in the Rio Grande, and the full capacity
of their present bitches was guaranteed
to them.
The lands of several pueblos in Ber-
nalillo county, N. M, have been as
sessed for taxation by the county Off
Gals, and have been published in the
delinquent tax list for 1898 and prior
years; accordingly, the special attorney
for the Indians was instructed to pre-
sent every reasonable defense against
the proposed tau sale. In April of the
present year Judge C%rumpacker, of the
district court of Bernalillo county, held
that the property of the Pueblo Indians
was not taxable. The territorial author
tiles t%hereupon entered an appeal to the
supreme court of New Mexico, where
the matter is now pending.
ZUNI PUEBLO GRANT.
The title papers of the Zuni to their
lands were accidentally destroyed by
fire a few years ago. A bill (house res
olution No. $685. to confirm their title
to lands which the tribe had occupied
for 200 years, is pending in congress,
and has been reported favorably by the
committee on Indian affairs. 1t should
become a law.
