MEsCALERO RESERVATION.
The Committee On Indian Affairs Favon
Opening the Reserve to Settlers.


resolution has been introduced in
congress to open to settlement the
the Mescalero Indian Reservation In
otero county, n. NJ. This is the
country just opened up and made tri-
butary to this city by the White Oaks
railroad and hence important to Ell
Paso.
The committee on Indian affairs has
submitted report in which they re-
commend the allotment of the Indian
lands giving each 100 acres and throwing
open the remainderto settlement. This
course has been recommended by Capt.
" E. Stottler who was agent and for the
hrst time in history succe eded in max
ing the Apache ex-warriors dress in
civilized clothing, cut off their long
hair and get to work. instead of living
IN ldleness off the government and get
ting drunk
The opening Of the reservation to
settlement las been under considera-
ton long time and is being strongly
urged by those most interested in the
welfare of that section.
1t is believed by some that valuable
mineral is TO be found on the reserve.
bnt it is now useless as no prospecting
is allowed under the law.
From the wording Of the report of the
committee it is evid mt
that its members are but poorly posted
on the geography of New Mexico. They
have located the entire reservation in
Dona Ana county, but it is in Otero
Paso Herald.

Tools For Fort stanton.

The comptroller of the currency in a
decision just rendered, says that farm
Ing tools for the marine hospital at Fort
Stanton, New Mexico, can be purchased
out of the money appropriated for the
maintenance of that institution. The
decision was rendered at the request OF
the secretary of the treasury. The
comptroller says that there are 1920
acres of land in the reservation. and its
cultivation affords healthful employ
ment for the inmates. of the hospital,
who are under treatment for tuberculo-
sis. He holds that the outside employ
ment is beneficial to the inmates, and
as a result any tools they may need
should be paid for out of the marine
hospital service fund.
