The richest people in the United
States are the Sioux Indians, who
massacred more than q thousand
settlers in Minnesota in 1857 ana
1869. The western bands, which in
clude the Ogalalla and the Brule,
were almost constantly at war with
the whites. At the conclusion OF
each contest they We're pushed far
ther west. But almost as good finan-
ciers as warriors, they We're granted
n welands in the treaties with the
government.
After the massacre Of Fetterman 5
entire command of about one hun
dred men near Fort Kearney, Ne5,,
in 1866, a treaty of peace was mad"
which remained unbroken until the
invasion of the Black Hills by the
miners upon the discovery Of gold
ii 1876
The massacre of General Clusters
command of 500 troopers occurred III
that year. Sitting Bull, the leader
of the irreconcilables, with several
thousand followers, escaped to can
ada. A new treaty was made defining
the boundaries of the Indian lands.
Sitting Bull returned under promise
OF amnesty in 1881, attracted, per
hans, by desire to share in the lahdS.
In 1889 another treaty was made
bv which the great SlouN ReseiNa
ticn. embracing all South Dakota
west of the Missouri river, was re-
duced one-half and the remainder
cn+ IN in five reservations. The op-
nosition of a powerful minority led
to another outbreak in 1S90'Ol. Ihe
killing of Sitting Bull was followed
bv the Wounded Knee Massacre, IN
which about three hundred 'SlouN
lost their lives The outbreak was
ended by General Nelson \. Miles.
A decision interpreting the treaty
of 1899 gave all married women OF
TIE tribes $40 acres in addition TO
the allotment of SO acres to each
head of family.
Az this land cannot be disposed OF
for twenty-five years, except under
srecial arrangements, these sioux
tribes have only 10 wait to reap Il
rich harvest
At the time when they Will be
free to sell, the land these Indians
will receive should be worth at least
$50 an acre. At this rate each family
estate of $50 acres has a prospective
value of S50,00C The three thousand
families in these tribes, therefore,
would he worth 4 grand total Of 100
million dollars in lands alone, II
they hold TO their lands till lEe last
This would mean a por capita wealth
for twelve thousand Indians of ST.
$50.

Railway Extension to
Tennessee Mine.

Surveys have been completed from
the depot of the Western Railway of
Arizona, at Chloride, to the Tennessee
mine. the line passing between the old
Schuylkill smelter and Silver Hill and
along the north side of the big wash
south of the town to a point on the
Tennessee mine, where a terminus
will be established. 1t is understood
that the depot will also be removed
from its present site to a place nearer
the town of Chloride, which would be
a great convenience to the travelling
public as well as to the people of that
thriving camp. A large force of men
are to be put on the grade at once and
its completion will be the matter of
about sixty days. From the hurry up
order for the extension of this line we
are inclined to believe that the Ten
nessee mine has encountered some
heavy ore bodies and that shipping to
the smelter in large quantities is con-
templated. The mine has great bodies
of milling ore in sight, and with the
bodies of ore that have been encoun-
tered in the new work, ought to be
able to give the railroad tonnage of
at least 100 tons daily. The Tennessee
ore is heavy in lead, besides carrying
values in gold, silver and zinc. 1t has
been under development the past two
years by the U. s. Smelling company,
the parent company of the Needles
Mining & Smelling company.

Football in Kingman.

Last Monday the Kingman football
team met the Needles football team on
the local gridiron in mortal combat.
When the smoke of battle and cloud of
dust cleared away sufficiently for the
spectators to recognize the conteuding
sides it was found that Kingman had
kicked SO many goals and made so
many touchdowns Tor touches, we do
not know which, as we are not right
uptodate on football language) that
the Needles boys went home broke, or
at least all they had to show for the
scars of battle was one lonely goose
egg, while the Kingman boys had a
credit of 81 points to their bank &C
count. If you see some of the boys
looking sad eyed and having either a
limp or a battle-scarred countenance
you will know that he was one of the
eleven that carried victory to the
Kingman banner.
The Needles boys brought with them
the Fort Mohave Indian School band
and the boys made some excellent
music around town during their stay.
The boy, are always welcome and will
ever find Kingman's latchstring on the
outside for them

Seaman, arranging the details of the
big mining deal that is TO bring the
Los Basin mines into the producing
class, returned to Kingman early this
week. Mr.. Scanlan remains in the

when complete plans will be worked
out and the big milling plant shipped

Lost Basin Mining e.
Milling Company.

Within a few weeks active work
will be started on the gold property
of the Lost Basin Mining and Milling
Company, Lost Basin district, in the
northern part of Mohave county and
about fifty miles north of Kingman,
the outfitting point, as arrangements
have been completed for the installa-
tion of a ten stamp mill and cyanide
plant which will later be operated by
a power plant on the Colorado river.
This fine gold property was located
many years ago by Mike Scanlan and
Cy Childers, who have put every dol
lar they could get into the develop
ment of the property, and as a result
there is now in sight an estimated ton
mage of about sixty thousand tons of
gold bearing ore, this showing being
the result of about three thousand feet
of development work in the shape of
drifts, slopes, shafts and cuts.
The property was examined a year
or two since by eminent mining en-
g;neers and their official report shOy s
that there is nearly four hundred
thousand dollars (S400,0O0) worth of
ore actually blocked out and in sight.
Some years ago a small stamp mill
was put on the property and one hun
dred and forty tons of ore was worked
which showed general average gold
values of lis per ton, all of which was
recovered on the plates of the mill.
Besides this sum, the ore carries q TO
IS per ton in silver, which makes the
total value of the ore nearly l5S. The
mill was then destroyed by fire.
Recently contract was made with
Frank Rockefeller, a brother of John
d. Rockefeller, who has agreed to
furnish the company a complete ten
stamp mill and cyanide plant and in
consideration therefore, a block of
300, 900 shares of company stock has
been placed in the hands of Judge F.
II. Kelly, of Willoughby, Ohio, who
is the trustee of the company, and Mr..
Rockefeller.
The financial agents of the Lost Bias
in Company are Price & Company,
who have offices at % Broad ST.. New
York City, and in the Union Bank
Building, Pittsburg, and these people
are now securing ample funds with
which to prosecute work on the most
extensive plan, and will At an early
date insure returns to the sharehold-
ers. Price & Co. stand very high in
business and financial circles in New
York City and Pittsburg.
A sufficient block of stock has already
been placed to warrant the early COM
meucement of active operation, and il
is reasonable to believe that the Lost
Basin property is in line for a very
substantial output of gold bearing ma
terial, for it is well known fact in
this section that the veins are not only
unusually strongly defined on the sur
face, but have maintained that strength
and value at depth.
The Lost Basin property is known to
be an enormous showing of low grade
goldbearing material, and under eco
nomic and efficient management should
be dividend earning proposition.

Tom Reed Bullion.

Last week Thursday the Tom Reed
made its regular monthly shipment of
bullion to the mint, the value being
above Is, OOOS The mill has been OPP
Grating only part of its stamps during
the month and usually makes a clear
up every twenty-three or twenty-foUr
days. The daily bullion average of
the mill is more than Z,500S per day,
and this amount could be readily in
creased to 4,O00s, if an adequate water
supply could be had. The mine is in
condition to make big output of ore
of high value, while there are thOus-
ands of tons of ore in the old workings
that will average about los to the ton.
1t is apparent that this ore will have
to be milled some time or other and
it is the theory that the present time
is not propitious on account Of lack OF
large milling facilities and big water
supply. With changed conditions in
the gold fields of the county water in
large quantity will be either developed
or brought in and mill suitable to all
requirements will surely be installed.
Mohave County miner., 1911-11-18

High up on the Cerbat range, on the
north side of Xxi Canyon, Jack San
born has made an important discovery
of gold in large vein that connects
the property of the Century Mining
company with that Of the J. F. T..
mines, owned by Smith q Sawyer and
Gaddis & Perry company. The vein
crosses at an angle from one claim to
the other, and where opened shows a
four foot vein carrying high values in
gold. Mr.. Sanborn has been at work
driving in on the vein and has opened
it to a depth sufficient to show the
vein in place. On the surface he
found float rock that horned out big
strings of gold and after considerable
trenching came upon the vein deep in
the alluvium. He intends to drive
the drift in on the vein as long as the
rich ore continues, which may bring
the workings to a considerable depth.
For years rich ore has been found in
that section and many small stringers
of gold ore have been found, but here
tofore nothing workable has been
opened, except bunch here and there
in the big veins. To the north of the
Sanborn strike the Clack brothers
have been opening the north end of
the Rico mine and getting good re-
suits. The vein there Is of good size
and the ore exceptionally rich.
Near the station of Mineral, on the
Western Railway of Arizona, three
miles south of Chloride, Chris Brain, a
prospector, has just uncovered a vein
of gold bearing ore that gives promise
of great things. The ore gave assay
results of about 2OOS per ton, while the
vein will all pay to ship just as it is
broken down. The railroad track
crosses the vein and the ground has
been run over by hundreds of people
the past several years. For many
years float has been found in that sec
ton that looked uncommonly good,
hut prospectors have been of the opin-
ion that it came from a distance back
in the hills. On the other hand it is
well known that veins have been
found outcropping through that part
of the valley, but none that gave
values when assayed. 1t is now
thought that many veins of ore may
exist throughout the valley between
Todd Basin and Mud Springs and pro-
pectors will find this virgin field for
exploration. Brain is sinking a shaft
on his new find and expects to soon
have a producing property.

RedfStriCt the City,

The article which appeared in the
Leader last week relative to the action
OF the county board of supervisors put
ting it all over Watertown as to vaIHa-
tions in this city and in the county gen
orally, has provoked much discussion
and indignation, and the means of pre-
venting such inequalities in valuations
was eanvassed. In the opinion of the
writer, the first thing to be done is to
secure fair legitimate representation
on the county board. On the same basis
of representation which obtains in the
villages and cities in the county, the
five wards in the city. which are in JEFF
fersOn county, are entitled to if not 10
members, And the same can be said of
the two wards in Dodge county, which
should have at least four members on
the Dodge county board.
1t Is matter for the common council
to arrange by redlstricting Ethe city into
wards and it should be attended to at
the earliest possible moment, that at the
spring meeting OF the respective board s
Of supervisors the city may be fully
represented. 1t might be we'll for the
mayor to sail attention to the inequality
of our representation and recOmm end
that action be taken by the council to
change conditions which initiate
against the city of WatertOwn.
