LAND LOTTERIES.
How the Government Will Dispose Of
Reservations.

Washington, May 3.-Four Of the
greatest lotteries that the American
people have ever participated in will
occur this summer in the Western
states.
They will be conducted under the au-
spices of the United States government
and the seekers of prizes will be the
people anxious to take up homesteads
in the Western states.
The reasons assigned by officials Of
the government for adopting the lot
terry plan for the distribution Of public
lands to homestead applicants Is that
this method precludes disputes, con-
tests and bloodshed.
One of the Indian reservation to be
opened is in Montana. One million
one hundred thousand acres of rich
land within its boundaries, are being
thrown open to public settlement.
The prize winners must pay the fed
eral government $1.25 per acre. In
this reservation a homesteader may
acquire $40 acres. The opening will
occur in August.
The other tracts to be opened are
the Rosebud reservation. in South Da..
kota. the Devils Lake reservation. in
North Dakota, and the Red Lake reser-
vation In Minnesota. These are at
tracing particular attention at this
time.
Only 104.416 acres of land in the
Devils Lake reservation in North Da-
kota are to be opened to settlement.
This land is very rich and has for
many years attracted the attention of
Western people who are anxious to &C.
quire possession of it.
Officials OF the interior department
are now preparing to divide this tract
into quarter sections. to be lotteried
of to bona fiue applicants for home
steads.
The successful applicants must pay
the government $1.50 per acre for the
land If they settle upon it. II any of it
remains untaken for period of six
months then the President may, in his
discretion reduce the price to such
| figure as will permit the sale of the en-
| tire tract The opening of this reser-
| walton will occur in July.

Organizer W. NJ. Wardjon, who was
assaulted by three men at Sargen6
Saturday evening. is resting easy to-
night at the Rio Grande hospital He
is free from pain, according to state
ments Of the hospital surgeon. The
doctors would not allow an interview
and no further statement could be Sc
cured from Wardjon tonight. DR.. kel-
Ter says that owing to the nature of the

can be ascertained whether Wardjon's
injuries are Of really serious nature
He is able to sit up in bed at times
and converses freely with the ply
sicians. He does not refer to the as
sault however, unless the affair is
mentioned.
He is very quiet man." said one Of
the doctors tonight. land 1t would be
difficult to find out from him just what
transpired before the assault"
WardjOn was expecting to be attacks
ed at Salida. He wired the officers
here. asking them to meet him at the
train and remain with him and guard
him until he had transferred to the
standard-gauge here. He said he would
have felt safe after leaving Salida
Wardjon has an hallucnation that
he is going to be attacked in his room
in the hospital. Why he should think
such thing is mystery. unless he is
partly delirious. He asked the doctors
to-day to protect him from assault as
he thought armed men would break
into his room. He was assured that no
attack would be made on him while
IN the hospital.
Wardjon told the doctors to-day that
just before losing consciousness, after
being beaten, a stranger told him that
/: was union men who beat him. This

By d drift of loo feet it will tap winze on the Golden Eagle vein, and will drain the old workings of the mine. The Golden Eagle vein 'bas been opened by the tunnel for a distance Of 325 feet, showing the pay streak for 2"O feet with an average width Of about 70 inches, and q uniform value in gold, sil- yer and copper oi $50 per ton.

The winzc from the tunnel to depth Of I5 feet also shows ore ot the same width and yalue>. IL has been neccs- sary to abandon work in the winze on account Of the large inflow of water until after connection is made with the adit level. When this is done and drift has been run along the vein considerable tonnage of high grade ore will have been blocked out.
