SPECIMENS or COoLEY'S ORE
Are on Exhibition i'm Abundance at FL
RenO--What the Globe says.


FL Reno, o. r, Feb. s.-Wilham Cooley.
the miner who IS agitating the PROPOSE
ton to have the Wichita mountain coun-
try opened 10 settlement, has brought a
number of orae specimens here which he
has taken from the mountains himself.
They are not occasional finds but large
quantities Of ore taken from different
parts OF the same vicinity. Speaking OF
the ore, the Globe says: "If you are an
old miner or geelogist, It will pay you 70
cali at the Globe office ard examint the
rock specimens in the window They are
from the famous Wichita mountains and
were brought out by the vettran miner.
Captain Cooley. There is near a half
ptrch Of rock on exhibition and there has
been at least fifty experts passed judy
ment upon them in the past three DAYS
We are free 10 confess that We know
nothing about the subject but all these
experts G? agree that these specimens
are rich in mineral. but no two OF them
agree as to Just what minerals they con-
tain. nor do they agree as to whether
there are any minerals in paying quaint
ties in the mountains. We have heard
some contend thar the rocks contain gold
and silver, others who have had experi
ence in the zinc mines Of Missouri and
Arkansas are confident that some OF the
specimens are rich in lead and zinc,
while the claims Of iron, copper. lead,
manganese, graphite mica and nickel
have all had their advocates. Captain
Cooley is confident that his specimens
contain traces Of most ali these minerals.
but they are particularly rich in gold aud
silver. He Is enthusiastic for the opening
OF the Kowa and Comanche country. for
1t Is his belief that in these Wichita
mountsins lies more gold than in the
Klondike, and that there will be a great
er boom down there than there ever was
in Deadwood or Cripple Creek"

THREE FLYNN RIDERS
House Puts Through on the
Indian Appropriation Bill.
CHURCH SCHOOLS DOM GO
Additional Schools in the Five
Civilized Tribes.
Especial dispatch to the Eagle.)

Washington. Feb 3.-The house today
passed the Indian appropriation bill with
three of Flynn's bills as riders. These
are: extending the law for leasing from
three to five years; allowing Pottawa-
tonnes and absentee Shawnees to sell
their lands, also land they bought under
the act of 1872; appropriating $4,000 TO
pay Sac sand Foxes for losses when they
had smallpox. Senator Harris intro
duced a resolution calling upon the sec
rotary of the interior for all papers and
charges against Agent Pollock, Of the
Usage agency, including the report of IN
spectors Mclaughlin and Seevely.
Washington, Feb 3.-The house today
resumed the consideration Of the indian
appropriation bill. when the house adj
journed yesterday there was pending an
amendment to authorize the secretary of
the interior to make contracts for the
education of Indian children where other
facilities did not exist. To this amend
ment point of order had been raised.
but held an allegiance to permit Mr. Fitz-
gerald On. Y) author of the amendment.
to submit remarks in support of ii. He
that the amendment was not in support
of any church and that as the facilities
for the education of the Indians were in
adequate no valid objection could be urg-
ed. Under the bill he SAID, over 1900
Indian childre nof the nation would be
unprovided for. We were proposing TO
spend millions for the civilization of far
distant people, he said, yet we RETAINED
from educating these wards of the na-
ton, because of a fantastical idea that
in so doing we might help a particular
church
Mr.. Little Ark opposed the amend
ment on the ground that the government
had declared policy against contract
schools and that that policy should be
adhered to.
Mr.. Moody CLass), who was in the
chair, sustained the point of order
against the amendment. holding that.
while congress would repeal the law rel
alive to contract schools, it could not
do so by rider on an appropriation
bill
An amendment wa sadopted for the es-
taohshment of schools in the Cherokee
Creek Choctaw and Chickasaw nations
the expense TO be betrayed out of the
funds of those nations.
