ANOTHER GOVERNMENT
HOMESTEAD LOTTERY
Three Hundred thousand Acres in
Rosebud Reservation to Be
Opened to Settlement.

WASHINGTON. May 16-There will
soon be another wholesale lottery, con-
Quoted under the management of the
Federal Government, with valuable
homesteads as prizes There will be
no blanks IN the approaching draw
ngs. although some of the prizes will
be more valuable than the others.
About 500 900 acres of land of the
Rosebud Indians. in South Dakota.
were recently purchased by act OF Con-
gress, the law providing that the ter
ritory should be prepared for settle
ment by the Department of the In
terror.
Secretary Hitchcock, In making ar
rangements to open up this land, has
decided to follow the plan that was
operated so successfully year ago In
connection with the Kiowa and Com
anche lands In the Indian Territory.
AS soon as the land has been SUR
veyed and divided into homesteads, an
nouncement will be made of the con-
ditions governing the awards of lots.
On certain date applications will be
received, AS each application comes
in it will be numbered and fled away.
At the same time duplicate numbers
will be prepared and thrown into a
huge receptacle.
When the period for receiving ap-
plcations expires. a committee will
be selected to award the homesteads.
This will be done by the drawing of
lots.
II the opening of the Indian lands
last year can be taken as criterion,
there will be several thousand of ap-
plcations more than homesteads. In
order to avoid favoritism by giving
lands to a certain few and refusing
them to others, the AWARDS will be
made by chance. Zach applicant will
be represented by number in the re-
ceptacle. containing the numbered
slips. and as many of these pieces of
paper will be drawn out as there are
homesteads. A record will be kept of
the numbers as they are drawn, the
first one receiving the first choice of
the lands and so on until the last di-
vision has been taken.

Ell PASO. Tex, May l6.-There has
just come to light the details of a
mining fraud which bids fair to make
the supposed victim millionaire.
A man by the name OF Munsford.
representing himself to be mining
expert, sold a claim to an Englishman
for 1880. The title to the property
was perfected and possession given
according to law. 1t is located about
fifteen miles west Of the town of Moe
tezuma. Sonora. Munsford had sunk
a shaft to the depth of fifteen feet, and
represented that he had struck a fab
ulously rich free milling gold ledge.
He took the Englishman to see the
property. and sure enough showed
him the yellow metal at the bottom OF
the shaft. After the deal was closed
and an investigation made, 1t was dis
covered that the claim had been salt
ed. Over $3.50 in fine gold had been
used to give the rock promising ap-
pearance.
The scheme had been worked in a
very scientific manner and 1t required
