fhe Seminole Negro Indians Are In a
Queer Predicament.
According to reports received at the
war department, says the Washington
Post, the so-called Seminole Negro In
dams, sequestrated on Fort Clark mill
tary reservation in Texas, have Meth
er country. home nor citizenship. The
peculiar situation of these mongrel
people has been under consideration at
the war department for many years,
with a view to more clearly defining
their legal and political status, but 80
far nothing has been done for their
relief. There are about $50 of these
Indians. They all reside at Fort Clark,
by permission of the war department,
and are under the control of the post
commander. They are reputed to be
peaceable and honest, live in huts and
houses, cultivate some ground, raise
a little stock and support themselves
by their own labor. Twenty of them
are listed scouts, eight at Fort Clark
and twelve at Fort Ringgold, Texas,
and as such, it is reported, render ex-
cellent service. Their history In brief
appears as follows:
They were originally with the Semi
mole Indians in Florida. About 1910
their ancestors emigrated to Mexico.
Corporal Tibbits. survivor Of these
movements, the oldest man among
them, and who claims to have been
born in the Indian Territory, says:
1--WE remained in Mexico until 1870.

scouts. About forty Of these scouts,
with their families. came to Fort Clark

Of "a treaty paper" which was ac-
cidentally burned, promised them
homes back in the Indian nation Qn-
dian Territory.
1t seems that by ruling of the
interior department they are not bene-
ficiaries in any respect under the Semi
mole treaty of 1866.
General McKibben, in his annual
report for 1900, said, regarding these
people:
Having forfeited their rights to re-
sidence and citizenship in Mexico, and
being neither citizens of the United
States nor recognized by the Seminoles
as part of their people, some action
should be taken whereby the status of
these people may be defined. 1t is re-
spectfuily recommended that the at
tention of Congress be called to these
people"
General Grant stated in his annual
report Of 1908 that many, of not all,
Of the male adults have been at one
time or another enlisted in the army
as scouts, SO that at the present time
the entire adult male population may
be regarded more or less, as discharg-
ed veterans; in some instances the
grandfather, father and son in q fam
lily having all served as scouts in the
regular army. As it Is, how
ever, they are an interesting tribe of
mongrel Americans. and dependent as
they are upon the mercy and man.

Use FOR FIR SLABS
,pODlJCT ALMOST AS VALUA-
BILE AS LUMBER.
1urpentine, Tar Charcoal and Gas
Few of the ingredients Found
in Old Fir Slabs, and a Ton OF
wood Becomes of Value for
Special Use.

Co.ttle. Oct. 24.-Sawmill and lum-
,ormen throughout the state may now,
g they SO desirve, convert their waste
,atorial in the way of fir slabs into
lie that will render the by-products of
.to;r mills almost as valuable as the
bar turned out Willis E. Young,
ano Of the directors of the Pacific
American Tar Company, the Belling-
har, concern the formation and objects
- which has aroused so much interest
throughout the East, was in the city
saturday. and to a Post-Intelligencer
rnnorter explained the workings of the
company's big plant.
With ffty-fve tons of fir wood, such
&c is thrown away or burned in the
slah nile of every sawmill in the state,
Mr. Young states that his concern can
tDrn out ,02O gallons of turpentine,
fftv.seven pounds of tar, eight pounds
If tar oil, 5000 bushels of charcoal
and 700 gallons of pyrohgnious acid,
while with each cord of wood con-
snmed 10, 900 cubic feet Of illuminat-
ing gas, far more pure than either coal
ar water gas, is generated.
The plant of the company represents
an investment of over $50, and
months on months Of experimenting.
Although it has only been in operation
for couple of months it is already
supplying the drug trade OF the state
with fir tar and tar oil, while it is do
ing an immense business in pitch, res
in turpentine, acetate and charcoal.
OF the latter, which consists of the
residue of the wood after the essential
oils have been extracted through heat
process, Mr. Young has shipped to this
city thousands of bags within two
months.
The method employed is compare
lively simple one. Fir lumber or slabs
with plenty of rosin in it is placed in
an immense retort, around which a
steady heat is kept up, no heat, now
ever, striking the bottom Of the retorts.
As the oily wood gradually cooks the
oil drips into large cuplike arrange
ment at the bottom of the retorts, it
taking some "a hours to exhaust the
oils from the wood by the slow fire
maintained.
The crude oils at the bottom Of the
retort are next treated, and all the
different oils separated and refined
The gas from the retorts is, at the
. resent time, carried off and wasted
When, however, the time looks auspi-
cious the company intends to secure a
franchise and begin the work of sup
plying Bellingham with illuminating
gas.
1t is Mr.. Young's desire to educate
the sawmill men Of the state up to the
point where everyone of them will put
in a retort for the extraction of the
oils. 1t would not be an expensive op-
Grafton NJ r. Young says, and will re-
suit in securing for the millmen thou
sands of dollars, inasmuch as they
would simply be utilizing their waste
material. The Bellingham company
agrees to purchase from the millmen
the crude oils at prvice varying from
~ barrel upwards. 1t would cost
IRONS 100 to $205,50 to put in a re-
tort, but, as there are three barrels OF
OIL to secure from cord Of wood, Mr..
Young thinks the scheme a practical
one
