In an Island White with Skeletons of an Extinet Indiun Race, On the lonely wind-sweptisland of San Nicolas, eighty miles off the coast of Ventura county, California, wher fur back as the memory of man runs, hundreds of grisly white skeletons have dotted the valléys and hillsides, local ists are now busy guthering relic of a strange, extinet race, says n I'raneisco Examiner., The islond isten miles long in shape, being four miles widest pavt. Strange utensil pentine, sandstone and stetite are found there among the human bones, and the lund and itserstwhile inhabitants have a history so curious that it is difficult of comprehension. In’1835 the padresof Santn Barbara, léarning that there werc but:sixteen of the strange Indian race then living there, determined to rescue them from the island. They went over in a_sloop and succeeded, us they thought, in get- ting all on board. At the last moment an Indian woman returned for her child, and one of the frequent storms of the Channel island springing up, the sloop was driven without her. The sloop wenton the rocks of Point Conception and all on boaxd were lost. Sixteen years later Captain George lever and two men went from the coast on a sloop to hunt otter off San Nicol On_looking they were, like Crusoe, astonished to discover human footprints on the sand. They saw no one, however, and a storm compelled them to put to sea. It was two yea nd oval 0ss at the of ser- Mme.

THE BOSTON STORI, W. cor, 16th and Douglas. THE REAL ESTATE MARKET. The Outlook Dal ro Encour- aging Aspect. Certain forces have been at work during the past few mouths which can not fail of having a most boneficial effect upon u Omuha real estate market. The abundar crops of a yeur ago and the high prices, coupled with a good foreign demand, has made money plenty in tho west. General prosperity and the liquidation of mortgages beld by eastern capitalists bas produced o great piling up of idle capital in the east. From almost all parts of the country come complaints of capital icroasing more rapidly than the demana for loans, This idle capital must be invested and it is a foregono conclusion that the east, nccus- tomed to find 1n tho west a borrower, will send her surplus in th direction, The only question with capitalists is what part of the west to select fur their purpose. Somo sections will be barred out by reason of overdone booms that have occurred in the past and are now reacting. Other scctions will be looked upon with distrust for navine in the past been mixed up in wildeat schemes which absorbed vast sums of mouey without making acy returns. When all theso sec- tions are cluninated the field for profitable investment will be very much reduced. Omaha, one of the largost cities in the west, aud o city that never experienced a disastrous boowi or had its name connected with any wildeat schome, will attract a very grqat deal of attention from capitalists. Inquiring After Omaha, In fact, castorn capitalists aro already turnicg their attention to Omaha as an in- viting field for 1nvestments in real estato and real estate puper. Not one, bui several real estate dealers aro remarlng on tho increased interest which eastern capitalists are taking in Owmaha. Somo inquire with a view to buy- ing proverty for speculation or for improv. ing, whiie others are lookiog up the pros pects for making desirablo loans on real estate. There ought to be no trouble for any ono with goud security this season to borrow money, provided tney will tage it in large cuough’ sums and for a poriod sufti- ciently loug to make it somo object to the lender. As the season advances and the situation is more cavefully studied the conviction grows amoug business men that Omaha is just tertug upon a period of unusual prospert Critieising the Bankers, A number of real estate men have been heard to remark on the peculiar stand taken by some of Omaha’s bankers regarding real estate transaciions. d ono promiuent dealer: “If I correspond with castern par ties and at last come to some understanding with them regarding an juvestment in Omuha real estato, those parties are very aptto write, before closing the deal, to son'e Omaha banker. That means nine times out of ten that I will not only lose the sale, but that 1 will have maae au cnemy of my pro- posed customer, for the banker will throw just enough cold water on the real estate sit- uation in Omaha to completely discourage the would-be purchaser, and sometimes even cause him to believe that I have been trying 1o rob him, “You cannot find a banker in Omaha who owns real estate but what1s asking 8 good Stiff price for it, so that the discouraging tone adopted in giving advica to would-be in vestors cannot be on account of a lack of confidence in the future of the city. “If the bankers will but take a broad minged view of the case,”” continued the speaker, “thoy will discover that it is more 10 their advantage to havo their customers’ money invested whero it will aid in the de- velopment of tho city than to have it laying iale in the bauk vaults. “Perhaps tho bankers do not behieve thaf real estato is a good investment, Then wh. do thoy not put down values on such prop- erty as they own and close it out! It would secm that bankers should be very careful about giving advice calculated to drive away from the city a prospective investor.” Dust from the Additions, The trolley \wire is boeing putup for the Dundee place motor line and it is expected that the cars will soon he operated by elec- tricity, This it is claimed will bring Dunuee place within about twenty minutes of Six- teenth and P'arnam streets, South Omaha real estate is picking up on the strength of the $1,000,000 improvements to be mada this summer by the stock yurds and packing houses, 1" A.

M. A. Upton says that tho reai estate sit- uation is improving. The baaks have re- duced their rate of interestand depositors are bound to look for some paying invest- ment for their surplus capital rather tnan allow it to remaiu in the bauks. As Omaba real estato offers the safest and most re- unerative investment a large proportion of the idle capital is bound to ve plaesd in real estate. A $60,000 deal in which a number of parties were interested has just been elosed. PPotter & George company, representing A. L. Borland, & Boston capitalist, bought of Morris Morrison proFerly 10 the value of £45,000 in South Omaba and $15,000 in Omaha.

Two corner lots “were sold in this addition the past week at §450 each, and one wnside lot at 400, Teul estate dealers generally say that they haye under way deals that would not have Dbeen considered & year ago. T'ne prospective purchasers in mauy of these cases will build on the property for their own use, thus add- fng to the vaiue of adjoiuing proper George W. Ames says that he never had a more sauisfactory line of juquiries for Omaba real estate froui eastern parties and that he has shown more property Lo prospective pur- chasers during the past month than duriug fhe whole of the previous year. “Dhere never was so much idle capital, and when ouce the people come Lo realizo that & dollar well invested is worth more than & dollar laying 10le there will bo & great awak- v 1 enlog in all lines of busioess.

He say The Northern Pacifie spans the river just four miles north of what is known us Custer’s Crossing, and 1 could see from the windows of the Pullman car the tops of the amphitheater of hills amid which General Crook’s brigade en- camped in the dreary fall of 1876, tent- less, rationless and under a pelting rain, which converted the whole country into a veritable quagmire. The con- between my wretched, muddy we of that time and the comforts of tion on wheels as now exp. made me feal as if sixty instead cen s hnd pussed sinco that nt vet stivring ev > we out of D a stout man, one of a pi goged in playing whist ac in the slecper. “Pretty neariy,” I answered, as [ saw the well remembered crests of Sentinel Buttes—the outlying pickets of the mighty buttle line of the Little Missouri ¥ inquired y of four en oss the aisle bluifs—rising only a short distance away on our right. Crook’s scouts had a skirmish there with a body of Indians in the memorable Siim Buttes campaign. On our left T could see distinctly the two razor-hacked blufls through which the brigade, all bedraggled and dis- gusted, had _defiled toward the Little Missouri in and the remembrance of many a brave comrade now no more caused a feeling of sadness to steal over me. Wo had camped on Andrey cceek, and on Beaver creelk, called the Indian fork of the Little Missouri,at the period to which [ have v Crook’s soldiers wero mustered in the valley of the latter stream, ac- cording to the bi-monthly custom. I wondered how many of those brave and stalwart men would now respond to roll call on this side of eternity. But, though the old campaigners have mostly passed away, the valley. in and they ure among the most to be at cattio rang found in the g ern Montann, Night had fallen as we passed rapidly--for the train goes fust on that section of the roud—Glendive O'Falion, Blatehford, Powder River crossing, und Miles City—all famous in Indian history, the latter being on the sit General Miles' eantonment of , when he inflicted such b s upon the bostiles in that A number of soldiers of the Twent) second infantry, n regiment long and gloriously associated with the frontier, ot on the cars at Miles hound for their post at Fort IKoogh, only three miles westward. We stopped’ at the Fort depot tolet them off and heard the chal- lenge of the sentinels and the rattle of arms as, one by one, they passed in. A short, compactly built oflicer came upon tho platform ns we weie leaving, and I thought I recognized in him my old friend Major W. H. Powell, distin- guished in warfare against tho savages he last station I heard called out was Roscbud. Sixty or more miles north, near the headguarters of the streain, Crook fought his big battle with the combined Sioux and Cheyenne tribes on June 17, 1876, and up through that dark and winding canon General Custer marched at the head of the Seventh cavalry less than a week later to . the point where he turned off to the Little Big Horn, where he forfeited his life for his daring in the midst of a roaring flood of angry b tiles the 25thof that “month of battl It is a strange outcome that the Novth- ern Cheyennes, who fought against our troops more desperately thun any of the other tribes, huve their reservation es- tablished on the Itosebud near the ficld where Cook fought, and within si the Custer battielield. They are and spirited tribe—the Spartuns of the Indian race—and are held in more re- spect by their white neighbors than any other breed of savages. Poor follows! Pinched with hunger as they have been, they have refrained from breuking the law, and many a generous ranchman has given them an occasional beef to *makeo their hearts feel good” during the hurd times which seem ever to remain with this proud, gallunt and justly renowned tribe of native Americans, Under favor- able conditions the Ch nes would sustain the pen-pictures of Fenimore Cooper.
