been published all over the western
states as being only slightly in excess Of
81, 000, 900 for the past year and men,
bers of the South Dakota delegation
in Washington has. been swamped with.
letters from this state asking about the
report. Representative Martin Monday
called OH Director Roberts, of the mint,
who assured him that the wrong figures
were not given ont by any governments
officer. South Dakota retains, her posi-
ton as the third state in the production
of gold in tile union, and her output for
the last year was 5 $3.50, 800, with the
largest smelter in the state closed most
of the year, owing to local conditions.

Settle the Indian Question.

The question of opening the Indian
reservations of the country, comprising
upwards OF 100, 200, 900 acres, was con-
sidered by the committee ON Indian
affairs of the national house of repre-
sentatives on January It'll. The Indian
commissioners was heard at length by
the committee. He took the position
that to throw open these lands to settle
ment is the proper and speediest way to
elevate the Indian and settle for all
time the Indian question. He said that
this course should be pursued with the
consent of the Indians, if possible, but
if not, congress should take the action
necessary to insure the settlement of
the lands by whites, all property values
to be guaranteed TO the Indians owning
the lands. t.

Gen. Gordon Passes Away.

General John b. Gordon, one of the
foremost leaders of the Confederacy,
and, with N exception, the last of the
Confederate major generals, died Janu-
airy 9th, at his home mt Biscayne, seven
miles dorth of Miami, Fla. The cause
of his death was congestion of the stom-
ach and liver, following an acute attack
Of Indigestion. General Gordon was
born in Epson county, Georgia, July 6,
1882, of Scotch ancestry, which had a
prominent part in the revolutionary
war. He graduated from the Georgia
state university III 1852, and a few
months later he was admitted TO the
practice of law. Early in. 1861 he
enlisted in the volunteer Confederate
service and was elected captain of HE
company. He participated in the strug-
gle in the peninsula, had a part in the
battle of Malvern Hill, and was COM
missioned brigadier general in Novem-
Der, 1862. He was in command at
charlottesville and in the Pennsyl-
vania campaign. He was at the battle
of Gettysburg, the battle of the Wilder
ness, and at Spottsylvania court house.
In May, 1864, he was promoted to be
major general, and took part i'll the
important battles which marked the
closing scenes of the civil war. When
hostilities ended he advised the men to
go home in peace, obey the laws and
rebuild the wasted country. He took a
part in the councils of his party since
1866. In 1879 he was elected to the
United States senate. Resigning that
position in 1880, he participated actively
in building the Georgia Pacific railroad.
In 1886 and 1888 he was elected gov
ernor of Georgia, aud in 1890 he entered
the united States senate again for a full
term. Since his retirement from politi-
cal activity he devoted much of his
time to lecturing. Since the organiza-
ton of the United Confederate Veterans
he had held the position of commander
in.chief.

SYMPATHY.

The Minneapolis Journal, while
mighty as a newspaper, is not par
ticularly fortunate in it's editorial
utterances. A case in point is a
recent criticism of Governor Herreid
for participating in a buffalo hunt a
hundred miles west OF Pierre and
killing one of only four animals
known to be at large in that coun-
try. Among other things the editor
SAYS: IF these fesr we're able to
shift for themselves would it not
have been better for the governor to
assist in protecting instead of hunt
ing them?" Inasmuch as the four
animals in question r old bulls,

Los Angeles, Cal.y Jan. 2 1904,
To the boys at home;
Having just retained from
nay first hunting trip IN Southern
California, | at once call for my
mail, which is highly appreciated.
Coming from whom and where ii
does, my general reply will no
doubt be appreciated by you all IN
a somewhat crude description of
my outing in Southern California.
where the comparison of days and
dates will then show You the Joys
and comforts Of the real Italy of

We fully arranged oar party

equipped with my experience AZ to
team and conveyance, we started
on one Of those trips Cor which
California is especially noted, aD
outing on quail. No. land ever
had better natural roads than
Southern California. None of us
had to worry about the axles Of the
universe running short of grease
on account of our absence. We
started for Squirrel Canyon in the
Lime Kiln Mountains some As
miles northwardfrom Los Angeles.
Over the brown and yellow carpet
of dry clover and alfalfa, bands of
quail wheeled and countermarched
like wings of ala array on dress
parade, while ground squirrels as
large IS gray squirrels darted in
every direction for their holes or
climbed on granite powders to in
spect us. We soon passed the
gateway Of Soaring Hills. On the.
east they we're fsstooned with the
dropping grapevines, nodding
along the water course, with groves
of live oaks. Two varieties Of
cotton tails dsrting about the edges
of the brush left no question of
supper if one were tired of does or
quail. We slept after a mountain
climb Of five miles. We found
ire-wood, and mountain spring
water, clear as crystal and cold as
a Dakota blizzard. We had only
to be careful of camping on an ant
hill. The spot selected by the
former experience of scout of our
party, we pitched tent for the real
hunt and Christmas outing, at en-
elevation of $500 feet. We slept
as in feather beds ofmother's COM
fort at home With a quantity of

sake, open up the flap of the tent"
There was a gentle breeze, and the
full moonlight, displayed its effer-
vescence with charming effect.

Without noticing that the light in the

official secretly marked down the aum-
