WHY THEY ARE OPPOSED
8. Dakota Cattle Owners State Their
Cause and Will Appeal to
COnEressmen.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Pierre, S. D., Jan. 7.-Several of the
mixed blood cattle owners who are on
the portion of the Cheyenne reservation
which it is proposed to lease, as we'll as
several prominent residents of the range
portion Of the state were in the city yes
terday working up their protest against
the proposed leasing. a. =
They present several pleas, all bearing
in some degree on the proposition. One is
that such action would bring about the
same results as have followed such leases
on southern reservations. That immense
companies would lease the tract and
Craze it down to the last point by over
stocking, and be of no benefit to the state,
as they would only be transients. An
other plea comes from the counties, which
under the state laws are compelled to
look after legal matters which arise in
that part of the state, on account of it's
being attached to them for judicial pun'-
poses. They say that the persons who
take the lease would ship cattle in and
out so as to avoid taxation and leave the
residents to pay the expenses of any suits
arising through their occupation. :
Another point which they raise is that
the present announced policy Of the Indian
department to cut off rations and make
the Indians support themselves would be
hampered by such leases, as the reserva-
ton is a grazing section, and the only
manner in which the Indians can become
self-supporting is through cattle raising.
They say further that the provisions OF
the leases which allows the cutting OF
posts on the reservation would be used
as an excuse for stripping the country. OF
timber, and leave 1T barren of trees of any
class. ...,
They are preparing. petition to for
ward to the. congressional delegation and
will put up hard fight to prevent any
leases being made.

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 7.-Silas Archi-
bald, who has returned from Dawson,

concerning the great gold strikes in the
Koyukuk river district. Peter Dow, the
last man into Dawson from that district,
and who made the remarkable finds OF
coarse gold on Hammond creek, was grub
staked by Mr.. Archibald. Together they

torney.
Mr.. Archibald gave an interesting ac-
count of affairs in the Klondike, and told
of the remarka BILE strikes in the Koyukuk
district, about 600 miles northwest OF
Dawson, in United States territory. This
district, he says, will beat even the Klon-
dixie in it's production of gold.
Mr.. Archibald displayed the gol6
brought out by Dow, several nuggets being
the size Of a butter bean, though most Of
it was in coarse grains. 1t is exceedingly
pure and worth $3.50 an ounce. The lit
tie pile exhibited was worth about $40
He is very enthusiastic over the richness
of the Koyukuk country, and says hi
knows to certainty of a strike on Unior
creek where at the second swing Of thu
pick a nugget worth $500 was turned up
Hammond creek was one of the last of thu
district to make a showing, as from thu
peculiar salmon color of its enclosin,
hills, prospectors had passed it by.

Lincoln, Neh, Jan. 7.-Developments
bordering on he sensational have just
come to light in the Miles will case, which
involves the distribution Of ,ansaestate OF
an estimated value of S. ,000, 098Rto $7,0OO,-
oOO, the bulk Of the property being located
IN Richardson county in northeastern Ne
braska. AS a result son, dispossessed
according to an old will drawn by his
parent in a fit Of pique, is about to some
into his own. IS
samuel Miles, a territorial pioneer and
the wealthiest man in his section Of Ne
braska, died in 1898 A will indited in
1888 gave the bulk of his possessions ia
his youngest son, Joseph H. Miles An
other son, Samuel, Jr., was cut off with
but few thousands. Other heirs were
also remembered in scant manner.
Samuel resisted the probattng of the
will of 1888, alleging that his father had
forgiven the old quarrel and had drafted
new will dividing the property equally.
This will, however, could not. be found,
and Samuel was forced to rest his case
upon the Testimony of witnesses who
averred that they were present at the
drawing Of a new will in 1897 in ST. Louis,
when the elder Miles was there on a
business trip. y
After spirited trial lasting several
weeks, Judge Thompson held that the
preponderance of the evidence was in ia
vor of the will of 1888, which was ad-
united IL evidence, and Joseph Miles was
given decree. Samuel appealed to the
supreme court of the state, where it is
now pending, and next turned his atten-
ton to ferreting out the testimony relat-
ing to the will Of 1897.
Four weeks ago he stumbled by chance
upon the information that Paul T. Gads-
den, young attorney, formerly Of st.
Louis, had drawn the document Of 1897
on the order of the elder Miles. Shortly
thereafter Gadsden removed to Old Mexico
and went into mining. He was communi-
Gated with and announced his willingness
to testify that the terms of the will gave
Samuel an equal share with Joseph. His
former stenographer was then located and
related similar story.
Both Gadsden and the stenographer
came to Lincoln to-day and testified be-
fore Judge Thompson in support of the
motion Of Samuel's attorneys that the
case should be reopened. The hearing
will last for several DAYS. ~ gas

TEEEaRAPHIc MARKET LETTER

a Minneapolis, Feb. "a "a. ---!T %! The holiday
was blessed with most perfect weather
which, with the lower cables, found
selling orders awaiting our opening.
Commission houses with large outside
accounts were most conspicuous in
this selling movement, which placed
values to where s'stops" so long stand
ing were met and easily broke the
market down to 1880. At this price
the market steadied and patient buy
ers appeared absorbing offerings and
gave what might have proved a stam-
pede good support. The cables closed
about cent lower. Receipts here
and Duluth for two days were 936
against 524 cars a year ago. The
visible was about as expected showing
a decrease of one million. This de-
cline will attract the monied interests
who are familiar with the merit Of
breadstuffs and figure that an immense
short interest has today been greatly
augmented, making it likely, that at
a moments notice the bulls may take
the market in their own hands.
Z Corn was likewise affected, opening
weak and without buying orders Of
consequence. Large operators who
have long been back of corn withdrew
their support and a cent decline was
shortly recorded. This is not in line
with statistical news and those who
are venturesome enough to take the
short side must be prepared to make
settlement as best they can. Gables
closed about a penny lower. Receipts
were very small for the three days
but an improvement is noted in the
grading, nine cars passing. The vis-
ible showed a decrease OF 343, 900
bushels. Patten was reported as buy
ing freely on the decline, presumably
short corn. " 5i. Rs
Oats were about as weak as other
grains and tits noticeable that Pat
ten has not been absorbing as much
OF this cereal as usual. The general
feeling is softer and values are most
likely to ease off further.
Provisions were much lower caused
by the liberal run and lower prices at
the yards. They do not show signs
of liquidation and on the first favor
able turn will improve with grain.
