De good thing to give the doctor a
change of base for his health. He
admitted that Timms had a right to
work on the reservation, on an appli-
cation filed two years before the
Raven or Florence companies acquired
any standing and then said:
However it may be necessary for
permit to be given him first. In that
case it will be necessary to knock
MIN until he is out of the way: at the
time | am little afraid of that. and
prefer that Miller and you boys go
ahead, Independent of a permit and
try and get lease, provided you think
that best. You are on the ground
and know best. If | find that the de-
partment gives Timms a permit. will
try and have them grant the same to
all applicants. In that case, we will
have to fight it out and take our
chances. Saturday was appointed

lease publicly. However it may be

posed bitches will be best for the dear
Indians. Do you suppose l can judge
the matter correctly?"
Harper, according to the Post, OBJ
tanned his authority for changing men
from one place to another direct from
Washington
The Post asserts that the matter of
these leases was called to the atten-
ton of the president and that his sus-
picions were aroused still they were
satisfied by Senator Kearns who has
been during the short time he has been
in the senate, the backbone of this
company in robbing the people. The
matter was laid before the Tribune,
but the article was never published,
and shortly afterward the paper was
bought by Kearns through Perry
Heath, to eventually boom the latter
in the United States senate.
Congress has passed several acts at
different times for the opening of the
reservation, but in each case it has
been postponed or the command Of
congress never carried out, simply be-
cause these people had not as yet To-
Gated everything on the reservation
they wished"
The action of Senator Kearns as re-
ported in his personal organs, would
appear to favor an early opening of
the reservation. This, however, is not
the fact. The Kearns amendments
and riders when examined all make
for delay in the opening instead of
eXpediting it.

lease, whereas he was doing the best
he could.
IL was about that time that the Ra.
ven Mining company, composed of
| Payne, Pfister, ct AL. was Organized
This concern obtained a lease from
tne indians on 100000 acres. The In.
dlans were taken to Chicago, given a
ride in tally-ho, fed more and better
stun than they had ever eaten in their
lives and promised work when il
should begin. They didn't get it, how.
ever for when they applied they were
sent back without anything and on
short rations at that. The Raven com.
pany located the deposits of the first
prospectors, whose houses were de.
stroyed, as mentioned, which COM
prlses the most valuable holdings of
the concern. Now, according to the
terms of the lease, the claims were to
be regular size, conforming to the laws
of the United States. But the Raven
company did not care for the laws
put located them any old size, one in
particular being worthy of note. as it
had an area of over 5000 acres. It is
two miles wide by three miles long.
When this was brought to the atten-
ton of the department, the secretary
declared he would bring proceedings
to annul the lease, but he must have
forgotten it.
The Florence Mining company was
not idle all this time, for in 1899 it
filed an application to make a lease
with the Indians for all the mineral
lands on the reservation north of
Strawberry creek. This application
was signed by Payne. The story of
this lease, as told by the Post, is in
teresting. 1t is as follows:
I'm 1897, one DR.. Hathenbruck was
around with samples of gold ore that
were the finest we ever saw. He said
they came from the reservation and
he was trying to get a permit to go
there and prospect. At that time H.
p. Myton was a commissioner inter
ested in the opening of the reserva-
ton. e. r. Harper was the secretary
of the commission and s. M. Miller
was surveyor for the same. They saw
these samples of gold and while they
were yet acting on the commission
they began to plan for a mineral lease
on the reservation. The result was
that Myton was subsequently made
agent and the others were to profit
thereby. A plan was formed with My
ton as chief assistant to obtain this
lease. j. H. Mease post-trader, at
Fort DuChesne, and John McAndrews,
interpreter at Ouray, were taken in to
help the matter along. Mease and Nc
Andrews claim that they refused to
try to influence the Indians in this
way so they were dropped out and
others taken in. Myton. Miller and
Harper were still in the lease at that
time and, referring in letters hereaf-
ter given. it was Harper who, Myton
went to see at Denver before calling
a council of commissioners. They
joined forces with c. F. Timms and
accomplished their object. Mr.. Mease
stated that the original lease was
drawn in the office of the commissioner
of Indian affairs and maps furnished
from there also, and while Mr.. Ryan
the acting secretary of the interior
was deeply interested in
the lease, he was not alone by any
During the time Harper was acting
on the commission he wrote a letter
in which he mentioned the fact that
the post veterinary, was
