FIXING THE TIME OF OPENING
Quotations From the Law
Setting Forth the Time
Eor Opening Kiowa
Reservation.

We are often asked when will
the Kiowa and Comanche reser
walton open. In answer to this
we do no more than quote from
the law passed by the last con
gress and approved by the Presi.
dent June s, 1900. That law
says:
That all allotments of said land
shall be made under the direction
of the Secretary of the Interior to
said Indians within ninety DAYS
from the passage of this Act, sub
ject to the exceptions contained
In article fuor of said treaty; pro-
vided, That the time for making
allotments shalt in no event be
extended beyond six months from
passage of this Act,
Another question that is often
asked us: Will townsites be
established and surveyed when
the land is opened for settle
Inents. In answer to this we
again quote the law.
"When said allotments OF land
shall have been selected and TAX
en- as aforesaid and approved by
the Secretary of the Interior, the
titles thereto shall be held In
trust for the sllottees, respective.
~. for the period of twenty. five
years, in the time and manner and |
TO the extent provided for in the
act of congress entitled IAN act
10 provide for allotment of land
n severalty TO Indians on the var
ous reservations, and to extend
he protection of the Laws of the

THE RESERVATIONS.

The Indian reservation is located be.
tween the washitas river on tine north and
Red river on the south and between the
9sth meridian Of west longitude on the east
and north Fork or Red river on the west,
and contains in round numbers, 4.0000,000
acres. From this will be deducted about
one million acres taken up by the noun
tains, and a like amount to be allotted to
the lndIaus, leaving about TWO million acres
TO be thrown open to white settlers. The
lands occupied by the mountains is only
available for grazing purposes and rich in
gold, silver, tin and coal. These are still to
be developed.

WELL wATERED.

The LANDS outside Of the mountains are
undulatIng prairie, well watered with liy.
ing streams OF water is found by digging at
depths of twenty 10 thirty feet. All the
streams bear more or ess fringe of tim
Der, while large areas are covered with a
growth OF mesquite trees, timber which
make good fence posts and is excellent
fuel. Other sections and some streams bear
a growth Of timber large enough to saw into
lumber. ANY or all Of these timber lands
are productive, and wilrmake fine farms.
BY an act Of congress approved June 8,
1900, the above reservation is to be opened
TO settlement On the north side Of this
reservation is another known as the Wichita
which may be included at the
same time, but this Is not yet known. The
law opening the reservation, provides that
the allotments shall be made in from three
to six months, and makes it lhe duty of the
President to issue proclamation opening
the country within six months after the al
are made. 1t is not likely that
the President will take the six months, and
and he may issue his proclamation immedi-
etely after the alIotments are made. Thus
It may be seen the lands may he open at any
lime from the early spring to summer OF
next year.

| There need be no doubt OF the product

SOME INTEREST IN ELECTION.
Manifested in Few Bets Made and Josh
or Two Sprung.

There Is some little interest being mani.
Tested around town in the presidential elec.
ton as the day of the great contest draws
near. It shows itself In the disposition Of
the sporty boys to back their Judgment on
the result, with all the coin at their
command. r..,
The gambling Is almost entirely on the
vote in the states considered from this
distance doubtful, Washington, Indiana
and West Virginia being the three on
which the most money has been placed,
neither side offering or asking odds.
There has been but one bet Of any con.
sequence made on the general results;
Harley Wood wagering &Ioo with N. W.
Sullivan against his steam saw, on the elec'
ton Of Mckinley. This Is considered
bet Of even money. Harley Wood Is dead
game and is taking the Mckinley end Of
everything in sight. He has also bet ten
dollars with Mr.. Sullivan on each OF these
two propositions, that the republicans will
carry three Pacific coast states, Washing.
ton, Oregon and California, and Indiana,
Illinois, Ohio and New York. Mr.. Wood
feels so sure Of winning the saw that he Is

ENORMOUS DIVIDENDS.
Mining b Away Ahead Of Any Other
Industrial Enterprise.

A glance at the enormous dividends be.
ing paid by mining companies monthly
and quarterly as compared with those
paid by other commercial enterprises,
should covince the most pessimistc oh.
server that mining as a business Is far
and away ahead Of the ordinary business
investment. A few facts may contribute
to the store Of knowledge being accumu.
lated by the casual observer and intending
investors Of capital.
In California there are at present more
than 100 gold mines paying dividends or
profits to their owners, that we know Of.
There are many others, quartz and placer
mines, Of which no iecord Is kept as to the
output.

Creek, Colorado, Is paying quarterly div.
idends Of SA8S, 900, and the total paid has
been s2,44o.ooo. The Calumet and Hecia
copper mines Of Michigan have paid $780,.

them 81, 200 900 before one dividend was
declared, and It was started originally as

The Kennedy Of California has paid

The mines Of Cripple Creek, Colo. paid

Joe Hurt Kills Three Deer

Joe Hurt started out Sunday morning
loaded for big game. He returned In the
evening and declared that he had killed
three deer, and had the empty shells to
prove the assertion. He also brought
along with him one deer, and tells very
plausible story to account for what he did
with the other two carcasses. Mr.. Hurt

Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota to

The story Of Mr. Nugent was a nine

Queens Hotel in consequence of it.
rhey were but few in number; and
those who remained found never
ending subject of conversation. The
manager in time recovered from his
anxiety Helen Dlgby had written a
fuil~account of the whole matter to
Sir Leonard asking his advice
whether under the circumstances. he
would wish Ethel and herself to re-
main at st. lna's.
In answer Sir Leonard wrote to say
that he could not see why the Nugent
incident should disturb them. and
that. as Ethel did not seem to be quite
well, il would be better for them TO

Washington, April 26.-Almost
the entire session of the SEN
ate was devoted to a consideration
of the right of Nathan B. Scott of
West Virginia to retain mis- seat in the
senate. The case went over without
action. Senator Pettus (Ala.) spoke
in opposition to the resolution declar-
ing Scott entitled to his seat. Senator
Pettus presented the minority report
OF the committee on privileges and
elections in the case, being the only
member of the committee who de-
cllned to sign the majority report.
After having been interrupted Sem
ator Pettus refused with some heat to
permit an interruption by Senator
Spooner (Wis.), who desired to ask a
question.
Il shall not yield nor debate this
question" said the Alabama senator.
1T is not fair and it is not just for a
senator to interrupt an argument for
the purpose OF seeing whether he can
debate the question better than the
man on the fioor."
Il think" said Senator Spooner. st

Senator Hale contended it was better

Washington, April 25.-After a
brief debate the senate agreed
to the conference report on the
Hawaiian civil government bill, the
provisions relating to the right of
franchise and Imprisonment for debt
having been amended to conform to
the ideas of the senate. The agricul-
tural appropriation bill was passed
carrying a little over $3,000,0O0 The
Alaskan civil government bill was
under consideration for an hour but
no progress was made
Washington, April 25.-The house
put its heel upon the pneumatic mail
tube service now in operation in New
York, Boston and Philadelphia. and if
its action stands the whole service will
be crushed out. The postoffice COM
mittee recommended an increase of ap-
preparation for this service from 1925
600 to $725,000. The proposed increase
was attacked by the appropriations
committee, under the leadership of Mr..
Moody (Mass.) with such vigor and
success that in the end the house voted
81 to so to strike the entire appropria-
ton from the bill. Mr.. Moody created
a sensation by the manner in which
he assaulted the methods of the pneu-
matte tube company with the direct
charge that a former member of con-
gress, member of the appropriation
committee, had been a holder of the
stock and bonds of the company. Hede-
clined to disclose the gentleman's
name. He added to the scandal by
charging that block of the stock had
been sent as new years gift to a near
relative and another member of con-
gress but to the credit of that member.
he said, the dishonoring gift had been
returned to the sender by the next
mail. Although the tube service was
highly commended by other members,
these revelations transformed the
sentiment of the house. which has
several times voted for the tube SER
vice, into a decisive majority against
its continuation in any form.
Mr. Tawney (Minn.) offered an amend
ment TO the bill to reclassify railway
mail clerks, but it went out on a point
OF order. William H. King, who
served in the 55th congress from the
state of Utah, was sworn in as a rep
resentative of that state to succeed
Brigham H. Roberts. The conference
asked for by the senate on the Foraker
resolution was agreed to, and Messrs.
Cooper (rep., Wis., Cannon, (rep.,
lll) and Jones (dem., va.) were ap-
pointed conferees.
