LACK FACULTY OF REposE.
That Ia the Fault an English Profess
sor Finds with Ameri-
cans.

Prof Eustace II. Miles, formerly
lecturer at Cambridge university,
England, aud the head authority on
athletics in that institution, contrib
utes to the Saturday Evening Post a
leading article on the "Faliacies About
Training" In the course Of it he
writes:
"A serious evil in the modern train
ing system is the constant tension Of
the nerves and muscles. At Cam
bridge l used TO watch my athletic
pupils and none of them seemed TO
have acquired the power of repose.
They were always on the stretch.
When the time came near, for in
stance, for the university boat race
or the football match. the tension
reached an extreme. and the men
seemed quite unable to be at their
ease. 1t is strange that while the
trainers perpetually teach their men
to exercise, they never teach them to
rest. The whole of nature seems to
work on the principle of alterations;
first work, then rest. We see it in
day and night; in breathing out and
breathing in. / need not give other
instances, manyof which can be found
in one of Emerson's essays. What I
wish to insist on here is that, while
we teach men to exert themselves
and to strive and to tie themselves
up into knots, we seldom or never
teach them TO relax themselves, to be
at rest and to undo their nerves and
muscles. 1t is Americans especially
who need to relax, to smooth them
selves out, and, for example, to let
their arms and hands hang limp and
heavy. If the business man were to
give up only three minutes each day
to standing with his knees bent, and
with his arms hanging down quite
loose and limp and with a contented
smile on his face, and with his mind
empty as possible, the difference in
his state of feeling during the day
would be almost beyond belief"

A FAIR ALLOTMENT.


We have interviewed a large
number of reputable Cherokee cit
izens on the subject OF allotment
of Cherokee lands without ap-
praisement and have found no one
willing to 60 on record as favoring
the proposition. To those famil-
iar with Cherokee affairs the plan
is absurd. 1t would mean de-
nial Of the rights Of the Cherokee
people to share their common es-
tate equally. Such a measure
would be the throwing down of
every bearier and the opening of
the food gates ofgreed and avarice
and the common everyday Indian
would be the victim.
Whatever natural value attaches
TO all or any portion of the domain
of the nation is the common prop
erty Of its citizens, and any plan
of allotment that fails to recognize
the absolute equality Of those
rights, is wrong in principle and
su5versive OF every rule of equity.
If j. George Wright has no higher
regard for the sacred rights of
these people than to offer to con-
gress such suggestion, he is an
unsafe man, and ought not to have
the ear of congress, or of the in
terror department. The most val
liable portion of the lands of the |
Cherokee nation is in the hands of |
white men and mixed bloods, and |
the fullbloods occupy the most /
worthless portion of the country. |
To propose now that every man
keep what he is in possession of
would mean to turn large por-
tion Of the Cherokee people out on
the world homeless.
An appraisement independent
of mineral deposits might be salts
factory for there is no known min
eral deposits that amount to much
in the Cherokee nation, but at
least one million acres of the ma
tion is almost worthless for agri-
cultural purposes. The only le-
gitimate way to allot this county
is to give every one entitled TO-
share in the division an equal
amount in value.

While amendments to the pend
ing Cherokee agreement are being
offered section providing for cor,
firming the titles to all town lots
sold by the nation without farther
cost should be suggested. The
title conveyed to the parks and
streets has been held by the United
States circuit court OF appeals to
be binding and perpetual, and the
title to town lots purchased from
the nation ought to be just as
good. Nearly s1S,oOO was paid
into the Cherokee treasury for that
original one mile square town site
of Vinita.

Some of our contemporaries are
constantly prating about the gov
ernment paying its Indebtedness
to the Indians without the inter
yention OF attorneys and without
the payment of a per cent. We
admit that this ought to be true
but it is not. The money for the
sale of the strip was only obtained
by sale of the securities to Will
son & Co., Of New York. The
obligation of the government
ought to be perfectly good, but
there has never been a prompt
payment made by the government
in the whole history of the Chero-
KEGS. If the s4,3C0,OO0 is ever
realized Is will be after a per cent
has been paid to somebody to COL
lect.

The Weather Report.

Carson City, New, Sept. 3, 1901.
Weather-Clear, cool weather pre-
vailed throughout the State; there was
no precipitation, and the temperature
conditions we're about normal. Light
frosts were general during the latter
part of the week in the central and
north sections, but no damage was re-
ported.
Crops-The clear, warm days and
cool nights were favorable to grow
ing alfalfa and ripening grain The
harvest OF wheat, oats, barley and the
second crop of alfalfa is about COM
pleted in the greater part of the State
while in a few localities it is either just
beginning or is in full progress
Threshing is in progress in few To-
calities and all grains are reported good
both in quality and yield. Range feed
is drying up rapidly. Water for irri-
cation is scarce in the northern part oil
the State but seems to be plentiful ir
the southern portion. Cattle and hor-
ses are in fairly good condition and are
doing well. Staple garden products
are doing very we'll and are being used
and marketed.

T0NAPAH.
What R. J. Laws Thinks of
the New Camp.

Supt. R. ]. Laws of the c. & c. R.
R. visited Tonopah last week for the
purpose Of examining the topography
of the country between the railroad
and Tonapah, and incidentally to take
look at the now famous famous
mines. He informs the Bulletin that
the showing at the mines is phenom-
email. The Mizpah or principal ledge
is exposed for a distance of 600 feet
in length. The ledge is between six
and seven feet wide and the entire
mass is ore that will pay to ship. The
Burro ledge is not so rich as the Mis-
pah as rule, although the leasers are
taking out rich ore. Mr. Laws esti-
mates that there are 600 tons Of high
grade ore sacked for shipment to the
railroad.
In all his experience in the mining
region he never saw anything to COM
pare with the showing at Tonapah.
None of the shafts are over 1870 feet
deep, and but little stopping has been
done, all the ore so far produced being
taken out while sinking. AS all leases
expire with this year, the lessees will
soon begin systematic stopping, when
the present output will be quadrupled,
and many more teams required to han
die it.
The company intends to sink two
5oo-foot shafts, 1000 feet apart, and
by means of crosscuts to prospect the
entire area of their mines
The people of Tonapah are anxious
to have a railroad built to the mines
but Mr. Laws thinks the cost of sucf
an enterprise would be out of proper
ton to the present traffic. In hi:
Judgment, however, railroad will b.
built to TOnapah in the near future
He believes the owners OF the mine:
will find it more profitable to ship al
their ore to some point where wafer
! fuel and the necessary fluxes can b'
| procured at low cost than to build re
duction works at the mines If the,
q determine to do so a railroad will b.
