ages, discovered a fine empty house,
which he proceeded to occupy as
headquarters. When the news Of the
colonel's comfortable quarters
reached Bloemfontein he received a
telegram which read as follows;
"G. T. VI. want house"
The colonel was unable TO make
out what &c. T. NJ" meant, and APP

general traffic manager
"All right" said the colonel. If he
can use hieroglyphics, so can l." So
he wired back;

| Two days later he received a dis
patch from Bloemfontein ordering
him to attend board Of inquiry. On
appearing in due course he was asked
what he meant by sending such an
insulting message to a superior ofi-

Indians Reaping a Rich Harvest from OPP
orators Who Lease Land in Lots
Of 900 Acres Each.

Washington, May 14.-Some idea OF
the value of the coal deposits in Indian
territory can be gained when it is
known the average thickness of the
vein IS four feet. which win produce
1000 tons an acre. These lands are
leased in lots of 900 acres each. which
means that 3.50O.0O0 10 100000 tons
can be produced by those leasing the
land. On this output the lessees pay
a royalty Of eight cents a ton. The
output during the last year was l.0o0.-
127, as against 1.4OO.442 tons the pre-
vious year Owing TO the rich deposits
leases are granted to such an extent
and upon such terms as will avoid ty-
ing up this valuable property. and by
doing 50 rendering it unproductive for
the long period called for in the lenses
This is done for the further purpose
of preventing the use Of these leases
for collateral assets for the purpose
Of building railroads through the ter
ritory.
