John McKane has returned from

by a BONANZA news gatherer. He
had little to say like most men OF
merit; he talks little. He had a de-
lightful trip in company with Chas.
NJ. Schwab and party to San Fran
cisco, and hints at plans that may
astound some OF you who are doubt
ing Tonopah, that is about all we
could learn from him. Mr.. McKane
said, however, that Schwab and
party left for southern California and
Mexico more imbued than ever with
the resources of the camp we live in.

E. L.MimS& Co. Market Letter

This week opened up very lively
with Montana onopah as usual the
leader, thousands of shares changed
hands through our office at from l.50
to 1924, the demands exceeding the
supply, as the same to us seems
pretty well cleaned up on Montana
around the present prices. To all
our customers we wish to say that
in u judgment the stock will event
ualy work higher but it looks on top
to us for the present.
Belmont has been firm around 20
cents and some stock has changed
hands at those figures. 1t looks very
cheap to US around those figures and
would advise its purchase.
Midway is also firm around SO 80
and stock pretty well cleaned up.
If you buy Midway you cannot make
a mistake at the present prices.
Sales of Extension are few and far
between; stock firm, good demand,
but none offered.
The other MeKane properties are
looking up. Should not be surprised
to see a move in Golden Anchor and
Red Rock at almost any time. Mr..
McKane is again back in camp at
the head Of affairs, enjoying Mr..
Schwab's fullest confidence, and at
any time he sees fit can make move
in all the stocks controlled by him, so
watch these properties.
North Star is firm around 80 cents
and cannot fail to make money for
anyone purchasing around present
prices.
Tonopah-G Gold Mountain has been
very active, in fact punches Of the
stock having changed hands in the
last few days, and it looks like a
move to higher prices at almost any
q
time.
Goldfeld stock has been traded in
on the streets around 80 cents and
looks at those prices a cinch. The
mine is being recognized as a gold
mine of no mean proportion and we
hear whispers of a dividend likely tc
be declared inside of a year.
In conclusion we wish to call our
readers attention to the fact that
stocks are bought and sold at the
bid and asked prices and orders ex.
ecuted at the market without a
moments delay.

no STOCK ALLOWED TO RUN AT LARGE

one of the important steps taken by the interior de-
parment anent the allotment OF Cherokee lands and the
consequent difficulties is the recent order of Agent
shoenet that live stock be longer allowed to roam at
large on the commons or public domain OF the Cherokee
country For more than year the agent has been con-
stanty beseged by petitions from the Cherokee nation
asking for the opening of section lines for roads One of
the great difficulties in the way in many instances has
been the fact that many OF the aottees too poor
to incur the expense Of building the necessary fences to
open the section lines through their lands. Herds OF
cattle. horses. hogs, and other live stock have been
turned out to Craze any unfenced land and as the
season advances have destroyed many crops Now the
agent proposes that stock be allowed to run at large
which il enforced will be a stock law such KanS and
other states have This viii the Cherokee citizens
the expense Of great outlay for fences Tn, stures
viii be fenced and and the animals confined to the lands
OF the owners Tie order meets with the approval Of
the farmers and the Indians generally but Of course the
stoekman depending upon the public domain for grass
will be dlspleased. With the prowling herds kept of
tie public domain tie farmer will In a measure be free
from tile danger Of having his crops DESTROYED BY his
neighbors stock and At the time be enabled to
open tie section lines.

WHY rREEDMEN CAN SELL LAND.

great deal of noise made In certain circles about
the act of congress passed last April removing the re-
sretions on the sale OF aotments belonging to whites
and freedmen in the Indian Territory IL Is claimed
that It is am open insult the intelligence OF the Indian
that the freedman is allowed the privilege OF selling his
land while the Indian by blood is forbidden to do So
Thoughtful people are not puzzeled ON account OF TINS
apparent discrimination aud those who look deeper see
the real cause OF the act that allows the negro privileges
not accorded the Indian In the first place the govern
ent ls under treaty obligations TO the Indians TO pro-
tect him in the ownership OF his land and to put him
into condition where he could legally squander his
aIlotment would be amentabe breach Of the highest
law IN the landthe treaties The United States gov
ernnen Il under no such sacred binding obligation TO
the negro OF to the white citizen who has acquired tribal
rights. In short congress don't care much what the
adopted citizen does with his land, whether he fools IL
away or whether he builds home on Il, but Il does
care for the Indian and trying to see that he keeps
moety OF his bIrthright and that he don't become a
homeless wayiarer In his own country.
In the second place congress felt the pressure OF the
sprt Of Speculation and the urgent demand for land
that could be bought and sold and thus add to the gen.
era prosperity of the country and OF the building Of
cities and the settlement OF the country The removal
Of restrictions on the lands Of the white and the
negro was in the nature OF doing something to appease
the land hungry CRATER 1t was like throwing well
trimmed bone to a dog while the meat must be saved
for the children.

ABOUT REMOVAL or RESTRICTIONS.

Agent j. Blair Shocnfelt has stirred up good deal OF
discussion anent the alienation OF trbaand recent
aeiyerance on that important subject Mr. shoenfelt
believes that the Indians have very inadequate concep
tion OF the value of their lands and that already they
have demonstrated that they easy prey to the
CRATER and the speculator.
The fullboods and the freedmen have alike shown
lamentabe lack of Judgment in dlsposlng Of valuable
lands There is camor raised In certain quarters lot
the indscrminate removal OF all restriction the sale
OF Indian allotments but this cry largely from
those whose business it Is to purchase lands and the
more land there is the market the better the oppor
tunity to purchase at low Trices
The freedmen have really shown less sense in handling
their aotments than expected Of them Ihen
eageness to dispose OF their lands has been really sur
prise and In many instances the negro has shown MN
self to be far more stless than has the ullblcod IN
dian Mr. Shoenfet recognizes the seriousness OF the
situation and has made manly statement from the
standpont OF a conscientious Official who has IN mind
only the interests Of those whom the government most
interested In.
But there is another and brighter view to take OF
the situation Only or two classes have been con-
sIdered in connection with the alienation of land 'oi
the $1,000 Indian citizens In the Indian Territory less
than 10000 are of the shiftess sort mentioned The
balance are capable of taking of themselves any
where and it really looks like shame to deal with them
as incompetent wards of the government. For a man
with slight tlnge of Indian blood and who Is perhaps
graduate of some university in the states to be com
PEELED to ask for the right to manage his allotment
simply humiating
Congress should enact law along these lines dictated
by common sense Remove the restrictions from the al
lotments OF those who competent, and leave TIE
Others under the protection OF the government Inc
CRATER and the INSCRIPTIONS land specuator want the
lands OF the ignorant ones alienated, especially They
have no chance to cheat the well informed people and
they will never be satisfied with legislation that does mol
give them access to the property Of the weakngs who
don't know the value Of their lands
So far as the fulbloods are concerned Mr. shoenielt
is ght but the theory Of Incompetence should not be
made too sweeping and general
