OUR INDIAN POPULATION

A preliminary statement giving for
continental United States the distri-
button Of the Indian population by
states ahd territories, as shown by
the returns Of the 18th decennial Gen.
sus. taken as of April Is, 1910, was
issued today by Director Durand Of
the bureau of the census, department
Of commerce and labor.
In 1910 the Indian population of con-
tinental United States was 265,6S3, as
compared with 237,196 in 1900, and
24S,253 in 1890. According to these
figures there was an increase in the
Indian population from 1900 to 1910
of 2S,2S7, or IL per cent, as compared
with a decrease from 1890 20 1900 of
11,057. or as per cent. Th2 decrease
In the decade 1s90-1900 suggests the
possibility that the enumeration in
1900 was not as accurate or complete
as in 1890 or in 1910. For the 2O-year
period from 1890 to 1910 there was
an increase of 17,430. or per cent.
The Indian population in 1910 is dis
tributed among the several states and
territories, arranged according to
geographical division. as follows:
New England division-Maine, s92;
New Hampshire, "a; Vermont, 26;
Massachusetts,. 6Ss; Rhode Island,
2S4; Connecticut, 1872.

have the advantage OF water commun-
ication with the sea. Hamburg's con-
sent was obtained by a trade of terri
tory necessary for extending the
city's harbor area.
In one important respect the new
law fails to meet the expectations of
the agrarians. In order to obtain the
support of the other states for its
plans, Prussia was obliged to agree
to fix the tolls at a very low figure,
and hence they will not prove a very
strong check to foreign grain. 1t is
freely predicted by the opponents Of
the plan that the rates as fixed will
not yield nearly so much revenue as
assumed by the government, and that
they will have to be considerably in
creased if the promised improvement
Of the affluents of the Rhine Is to be
carried out.
Before this law can take effect 1t
will be necessary for the government
to secure an agreement with Holland
and Austria, with which countries
Germany has treaties guaranteeing
the freedom Of navigation on the two
streams mentioned. As both coun.
tries are strongly opposed to barter
ing away their treaty rights, it is by
no means certain that the law will
ever be put into operation.

VAN DUZER TO LECTURE
AT IOWA UNIVERSITY

The following, taken from an Iowa
City paper of Dec. 10, will be of in
terest to tri-city friends of H. e. Van
Duzer, who has given these lectures
here recently: "Over 100 Iowa City
clerks will hear a course of eight
lectures on practical craftsmanship, to
be given in the liberal arts building
in January by H. e. Van Duzer, for
90 years city salesman for the Hartz
& Bahnsen Drug company Of Rock
Island, beginning the second week in
January. Mr.. Van Duzer has been
very successful in giving his course
in the tri-cities and the university
authorities are back of the plan to
make the course available here.
Many merchants have arranged to
have their clerks take the course
of lectures. The charge is only 81
for each person for the course"

The reichstag has passed a law to
revive the shipping dues on German
navigable rivers, which were abolish
ed with enthusiasm about so years
ago. The plan originates with Prus-
STA. and is connected with the canal
legislation of about 10 years ago.
In 1899 the Prussian government
tried unsuccessfully to induce the diet
to pass a law providing for the con-
struction of a canal to connect the
Rhine with the Elbe, starting from
near Dusseldorf on the Rhine, and
reaching the Elbe near Magdeburg.
The agrarian interests, which pre-
dominate In Prussian legislation, took
alarm at the plan. believing that such
q canal would facilitate the import of
foreign grain into the heart of Ger
many, and the bill was rejected. Sew
eral years later, however. a compro-
mise bill providing for the building
Of the canal from the Rhine to a
point near Hanover was passed, but
the agrarians attached provision to
the measure that 1t should not be put
into operation before tolls had been
reintroduced on all the navigable
streams OF the empire, intending this
as a further measure for checking the
shipment of imported grain into the
interior.
Thereupon the Russian government
set to work to obtain the cooperation
of the other German states for the
passage of a law reviving navigation
dues. The assistance of Bavaria and
Wirtemberg was obtained by holding
out hopes that the Main and Neckar
rivers would be improved in their up
per course, so that those states would

Berlin-The shining "Pickelhaube,"
the spiked helmet Of the German sol
der, will be replaced soon, probably
by lighter headgear without the pol
ished surface. Several models Of new
helmets have been tried by various
detachments of the army recently,
and, though none has been found to
give complete satisfaction, the test
will be continued. Two material
changes may be expected in whatever
style is chosen. There will be no pol
ished spike at the top, nor will the
helmet itself be polished, permitting
the reflected rays of the sun to easily
betray the position Of the troops. At
present this disadvantage Is overcome
during maneuvers by wrapping the
helmet in canvas.
Mecklenburg-Schwe has followed
the example set by Reuss of the elder

That millions are wasted under the
present system of education in Great
Britain was the startling statement
recently made by Sir John Gorst,
formerly vice president for education.
This has added fuel TO the fire of crit
iclsm to which the plan for universal
education has been exposed since its
inception.
Sir John said among other things:
THE majority of those who care for
the welfare OF the people and are ex-
perts in education consider that the
greater part of this money under the
present system is wasted and might
as well, so far as education is con-
| cerned, be thrown into the sea. Ply

LARGE sum
IS RAISED TO
DEVELOP Mines
NEVADA RAISES
$4,000 TO SINK DEEP
SHAFT.

The future looks bright for the
Blackhorse district and especially
since the Amalgamated Nevada
Mines company has raised another
large sum of money to continue de-
velopment work Recently an as
sessment was levied on the stock
holders to which prompt response
has been made This assessment
has resulted in the treasury of the
company being fattened up to the
amount of 100000, making a total
of about $250,000 that the eastern
people who control the company
have invested in property, develop
ment and a large stamp mill.
Work is to be commenced inn
mediately on shaft on the San
Pedro claim which will be sunk to
great depth and which, it is be
lieved, will result in the opening Of
large deposits of gold ore. Up tt
the present time all work on the
property has been done through the
tunnels that have been driven int
the mountain. The shaft will b,
started at about the tunnel leve
and will, consequently, open up en-
tirely new ground where there ar,
good prospects of finding larg
ore bodies of rich ore.
Such confidence in the Blackhors
district as is shown by the stock
holders of the company in putting
up such a large additional sum o
money for development is very en-
couraging to all property owners i

that district and in the whole eoun-
ty as well.
The Amalgamated has had its
soldings examined a number of
times by expert mining men and
engineers and it is on their rec
ommendation that the new work is
to be undertaken.
Besides owning the large prop
critics in the Blackhorse district the
Amalgamated owns the old patented
placer diggings that were the prop
erty of the Osceola Gravel company.
The placer diggings cover an area
of nearly 1000 acres and large
amount of gold has been taken
from the ground. 1t includes a
large part of Dry gulch, famous
for having produced nuggets worth
$1,000 to $4,000. R. e. Cotton, an
old-time Alaska prospector and a
large stakeholder in the Amalgam-
ated, is now at the property. He
has practical placer machine and
will experiment with it on some
of the company ground to learn
what can be done with it. If it
can be used to advantage in the
company's diggings, it is probable
the company will have several OF
them built and will work the dig
gings this season.

That other and distinct bodies of
the fabulously rich gold ore exist
in the famous Adamson-Turner prop
erty at Rexall, in Humboldt county,
has been demonstrated by late de-
velopments. Since the discovery of
the extremely rich gold ore in the
lowest level of this estate a few days
ago it has been found that the new
shoot is in another and distinct
ledge running at a different angle
from the original vein that has been
producing the rich ore since the dis
covery of the property. The new
ledge, as it might be called, is on
the east side of the intrusive dyke
that was cut by the tunnel that was
sent in from the bottom of the hill
and which is the lowest working on
the property.
