Amount Of Food Distributed.
General Greeley has prepared an es-
innate which shows that 1000 tons of
food have been distributed in the ten
days since the earthquake. There has
been a daily distribution of 100000
pounds, which cost about $4,000 per
day. This does not include the cost
of the clothing given away.
General Greeley estimates that 2OO,-
900 have been cared for in the same
time. A new system of distribution
has been evolved Officers are placed
in charge of transportation, food sup
plies. sanitation, engineering and the
clothing. The unburned section is di-

each subdivided into $50 relief sta

charge of responsible citizens.

Police and Rush Into the

Thorne, New. Oct. 27-That but little
attention is to be paid TO the rules in re-
gard to opening the Walker Indian res

eastern boundaries. was evidenced this
morning when whole pack trains started
for the interior of the coveted country. 1t
was impossible for the Indian police to
keep efficient watch on the miles and
miles of boundary lines, and as a result
hundreds of daring men, bent on securing
favorable locations for mines, eluded the
vigilance of the authorities.
Many of those remaining at camps be-
tween here and SchurZ, on the eastern
boundary of Walker lake, have already
prospected territory inside the reserva-
ton, having in some instances been weeks
and months at the task. They have boats
in readiness to cross the lake to the shore
on the opposite side. from six to twelve
miles across. When the legal time for
opening the reservation at u o'clock next
Monday occurs, they will jump into their
boats and endeavor TO beat those who go
into the territory afoot or on horseback.
Several men in whose every action de-
termination is written have made boasts
that they know exactly where to locate
their claims and that they intend to get
their favored spots even if they have to
take forcible possession
