RATHER DANCE THAN WORK
Red Flsh's Influence over the. Indians
Said to Be UnWhole.

some.
MANDAN, N. Dat the late fair in
this city, one Of the most Intelligent IN
dams in attendance was Jerome Shave
Head, graduate of Hampton Va, Indian
school. His father, Bernard Shave Head,
was killed at the time Sitting Bull was
captured. Jerome has a very intelligent
face. and speaks good English
He was asked why it was that Indians
who have worked on the Northern Pacific
railroad soon got tired and left their
work. He replied that those who had
gone to railroading We're mostly those who
lived in the upper part of the Standing
Rock reservation, and were under the in
f1uence of Red Fish-an Indian who likes
dancing more than work. These Indians
have little interest in farming or stock
raising, and so they went to work on the
railroad. But they became tired and as
their dancing interfered with their work,
they had to quit one or the other, SO they
quit work. ---z. e.. 3. ..l...-.
'"The Indians on the more southern part
Of the reservation" said Jerome, have
work to do that pays them better than
working for the railroad, and they are
prospecting. During the four years that
Major Bjngenheimer has been our agent,
wonderful progress has been made in the
direction of the Indians becoming self
supporting. He has encouraged them in
a way that no agent ever did before. He
has talked especially to the young men,
showing them the advantages that would
accrue to them as Individuals, and as a
race, if they would work. He gave them
all a chance to work at something, and
those who had no money to buy farm i'm
plements or cattle, he gave work to-, SO
that they might get little money with
which to start. 80 =. ..-g- .-.
He has also shown the older people
where it would be an advantage for their
children to get an education, and do more
as the white people do in matters OF civ
iliZation. The Indians can count on get
ting justice from him, in any difficulties
that they may get into -

which bored for oil at Lorne Hill, started
yesterday to bore in the second series of
wells, which will be continued until gas
or oil is struck in accordance with the
expectations Of those exploiting the VEN
ture. The first we'll was sunk 500 feet and
at that depth salt was struck in what is
thought to be paying quantity Both the
old well and the one started yesterday
will be torpedoed next summer, but in
any case those interested will consider
the advisability of organizing a company
to develop the salt deposit which has been
discovered.
The salt is supposed to be eighteen feet
thick-and appears to be Of the very best
quality. Fresh water has run into the
boring which perforated the deposit and
for this reason an analysis has not yet
been made. The deposit was not sus-
pected until tame bees, and cattle began
to show a strong liking for the water TAX

the water was full of crystals and when
evapora ted left thick sediment of pure
salt of a beautiful white color.
Gas and oil are found in the vicinity Of
gas and oil producing districts.

said that the Burlington would naturally
use the Great Northern tracks west of
Spokane though that probably in time
part of the trains would go over the
Northern Pacific. A reduction in time to
Chicago is being considered and the ad-
dition of a second train to take care of
