Old Settler Recounts the Pleasurss of Trav- eling Overiand, Kelly's slide on foot has sct some of the old settlers to brushing cobwebs off their memories. One of the old settlers of Iowa who has been there himself, thus recounted his experiences to a newspaper man: “I walked from Des Moines to Council Bluffs and back in 1853, and I can do it again if it should be necessary. The spring of 1853 was a wet one. The roads were fear- fully muddy. The only public means of con- veyance was the stage coach. I called at the stage office on Third street, near where Harbach’s manufactory now stands, and asked their agent, Mr. Sears, what the fare was to Council Bluffs. He said $15. I asked when the stage would reach there, and he said he did not know. I asked A, T, Johnson, the secretary, and Colonel Hooker, the manager, of the Great Western Stage line. T received the sawe indiffcrent answer from all of them. People now think that railroad conductors and their ticket agents are independent and indiiferent some times, but the independence of the old and early stage coach lines caps them all. Being well deilled in walker's line of travel and being what was called in those days a good stepper, I took my grip sack and started for the Bluffs on foot. I took a late dinner at Adel and stayed over night at Irishtown, near Redfield. The second day at noon I took dinner at 'Squire Morrison's stage station. An incident occurred there that will bear relating. I met the stage coach coming wast from Council Bluffs at that point. ~ We all took dinner together and when I asked 'Squire Morrison what my bill was he inquired whether I was a stage passenger or a foot passenger. 1 replied that I was a foot passenger, and he charged me cents. ‘Great Heavens,' sald a gentleman, standing near by, ‘you charged me 50 cents for my dinner and this man ate three times as much as I did,’ to which the squire replied, ‘Can’t help that, sir; can’t help it. My rule is 50 cents for stage passengers and 25 cents for foot passengers.' “The second night I stayed at Lewis, then the county seat of Cass county. The third day 1 took dinner at Big Grove station in the western part of Pottawattamie county. It rained very hard that afternoon and I stayed all night. The next morning I ate a hearty breakfast, took a lunch with me for dinner, which I devoured as I trudged along about midday. 1 arrived at the old ic house at 6:30 p. m. the fourth day in good shape, and the staga coach that left Des Moines the same day arrived some time dur- ing the night. I returned on walkers' line the same as I went, safe and sound. I came back in five days. Many places the bridge were gone and I had to walk a long distanc cross over small streams, At Panther creek I found the bridge gone completely, not even the stringers being left for a foot path. On the opposite side was another foot senger wishing to cross. We tramped down the stream some distance in hope of finding u log to cross on. Both sides of the creck had good sized trees and at last we found two trees leaning toward each other across the stream. We each borrowed an ax of the nearest neighbor on each s'de, felled the trees toward each other, and formed a pass. We crossed over, lie took my ax home and I took his. On the evening of the fifth d after dark I reached Scott’s Ridge, across the Des Moines river. On the east side it was one large body of water from the bridge to the fivst bench of high land where the Miller hotel now stands. T could hear the paddling of canoes and sKiffs in the distance, but to reach them I had to wade out in the water knee deep. Elkana Fitzwater rowed me over."

About sixty men are at work and the reports received trom the mines are very flattering. Very little snow falls in the region of these placers and a very long sea- son for work can be had. A large number of those operating the mines are from the vicinity of Butte.” Sliice boxes are used in the old way re is an ample supply of water at all seasons and ditches ried to long distances, Mr. Potter believes that the mines are good, but says that mush i:ore will be known as 500n as spring fairly opens and thorough prospecting can b done.

Near the sur- face this quartz only assayed about $8 per ton, but it has steadily increased in value until now the management asserts that it will pay for milling. Near the surface great masses of iron pyrites were encoun- tered, none of which contained values of any moment. As depth is gained this iron is fast giving place to crystalized quartz and it is not improbable that this vein, owing to its size, will soon become a famous pro- | ducer. e Ground Hog Gold. In the Ground Hog gold mine, which is by far the largest operated quartzite property on Battle mountain, Red CIiff, big bodies of tale, sulphide and oxidized iron are being disciosed. Some of the ore is so valuable the gold is quoted as per cent instead of ounces. Two of the lessees will ship, but the in- clement weather has thrown the others back on account of being unable to dry their ore, and they will not ship until June, when a shipment will be made from the whole mine, which the Bagle County Times says will throw all former yields in the shade. The indications of a strike are very flatter- ing in the Little Chris, also owned by this company, but in the lime contact. A flow of water was encountered during the week and the rock is becoming mineralized. Lots of Nuggets. A rich find was made on Wolf creek hy Rice & Co., the ore being free milling and running twenty ounces in gold to the ton. The camp is wild with excitement, says the Denver News. In the Iron Cap lode was found nuggets of gold as large as pin heads and lots of them. This claim has nearly a car of ore on the dump ready for ship- ment. - There is great need of a good stamp mill in Dubois, and if one was Kept in opera- tion it would be kept busy, as there is a great amount of ore on the dump that will hardly pay to ship and pay smelting charges, but would give good returns from a stamp mill. o— WEATHER FORECAST.

ON A LO CINCH CIVILIZATION Blowlng Themselves on the Frills and Gen- gaws of Modern Clvilization—Feasting 1 the Fat of the Land and Riding In Carrlages, The Indians composing the Sioux nation are this spring the happlest and most con tented mortals in the eountry. This state of affairs was brought about by the distribution among them of tens of thousands of dollars in cash by the government. This money was the first regular payment made these Indians for ceding to the government 11,000,000 acres As a further pay the Sloux will also few months large and ment for the land ceded, receive during the next quantites of agricultural thousands of heads of h ete., for which contracts w Chicago by Indian Commissioner Browning. As a result of the recent distribution of cash, writes a correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, the towns nearest the Dakota agencies have been filled of late with In- dians cof all ages and conditions who lost no time in exchanging their money for articles Kinds, which, in their are more valuable to them than money Although the government furnishes the Indians with practically all the necessaries the red man and his family can find ways of squandering their wealth. of the first places visited when they looking for investments Is a clothing and after this come beot and shoe and dry goods Stores, In these places th can find articles that attract their admi; fon. the ticles which th most highly esteem are ginghan calicoes of bright colors and flowered de- gns, muslin, bright colored shawls, trunks, valises, hats, children's shoes, overshoe beads, and occasionally silks and velvel purchased for dresses for the squaws. Millinery stores are also extensively pat- mized by the feminine portion of the Sioux fon. After a visit to town by Indians who have money to spend it is only a short time until dealers are out of cigarettes, young Indians of less than 10 years of age being as cager to smoke them as their elders, Scores of the Sloux are annually becoming more aristocratic, and in order to maintain the proper dignity invest their surplus wealth in buggies and double-seated car- riages, the harness for the horses being the best in the market, the Indian preferring those with brass trimmings. A pilgrimage Sioux to town discloses many such turnouts, the Indian and his usually large family occupying the seats in white man fashion and casting looks of contempt upon their less fortunate and poorer brethren, who must be content to travel on foot or on their shaggy and diminutive ponies. Now that most of the Sioux have become accustomed to live in comfortable log or frame buildings, especially in winter time, when the airy tepee s bardly sufficient to protect them against the rigors of the northwestern winters, it is natural that they should wish to make the interior of thelr dwellings as comfortable and homelike as possible, and for this reason, in order that they may have things like their white neighbors, they are when ‘“flush” good patrons of furniture! stores. Here they pur- chase cupboards, bedsteads, chairs, occasion- ally a baby carriage, etc. Much of thelr money is also expended for toy express wagons, which are given to their children. One Sioux warrior, whose countenance be- trayed anything but intcliigence, was im- pressed while in a store by the convenlence of a large and expensive desk which occupied Having a fair idea of what a desk would cost, and possessing the necessary cash, he went to a furniture store, and, looking over the various desks on exhibition, selected and paid for one Wwhich suited his arlstocratic taste. He mext pur- chased pens, paper and Ink, and loading the desk in his wagon, started triumphantly on his return to the reservation, It seems that he had learned to write a little, and, being ambitious, desired to have things in shape so that he could -practice during leisure moments in his own home, and thus improve his penmanship. Some day he may blossom out as a professor of penmanship, and or- ganize a class among his brethren. There are many excellent penmen among the Sioux. Indians who have just become the proud owners of baby carriages present an interest- ing sight. One was seen coming from a fur- niture store where himself and wife had just selected and purchased a handsome little car- riage. After leaving the store the warrior took the lead, wheeling the empty carriage, while his wife followed, bearing on her back a large-sized pappoose.” It did not seem to enter their minds at the time that it would be the proper thing to place the baby in the carriage and thus make use of that vehicle and save the squaw unnecessary labor. The government furnishes the Indians with meats of nearly all kinds, but nevertheless the red people expend large sums for meat while in the border towns. During tho recent pilgrimage one Indian visited a lo meat market and purchased pork to the amount of $13.50. This he took to his tepee, invited In his friends, and together they had a “heap big" feast. Stinginess is not a trait of the Indians and they are always very liberal as long as their money las After several days of trading and sightsee- ing, the Indians return quietly to their reser- vations, empty in pocket, but rich in this world's goods. Their money is all gone, but they know that their open-handed Great Father will give them more in the future. While In town they conduct themselves in a manner that is beyond criticism. They dres neatly and warmly, many of the warriors wearing the finest of overcoats. In 1863 the steamer War Eagle, a boat famous in Mis- souri river history, discharged a cargo of annuity goods at the Lower Brule agency. Among the goods were a number of men's hats. Nowadays the Indians expend consider- money in the towns for hats, but in those days hats were a curlosity to them. They had never before scen anything of the implements cattle, oxen, re awarded at rses, of various opinion, many One are store, many Among | kind except as worn by the whites about the agency. After the departure of the steamer the hats and other annuity goods were dis- tributed among the Indians. The red men had great sport with the hats, the first ever given them by the govern- ment, yme of the Sioux promptly fastencd the hats to the trees and shot ar- rows at them. This soon developed into a form of gambling. The Indian who, out of ten shots, could put the most arrows through the hat was entitled to.it, as well as to the arrows which his companions had shot at it in an endeavor to wip the prize. Arrows were valued at 10 cents each, Good marks- men_would frequently win several hats and whole armfuls of arros. The fact that the hats were liberally punctured with ar- row holes made no diffdrence in their value to the Indians, The proficiency of the Sioux Indians with the bow and arrow was really wonderful, To test the nerves of;the white employes about the agency they would resort to all sorts of schem One day an employ was engaged about seme work In a wagon Near by was a Sioux fooling with a bow end arrow, The whité man g v a trifle nervous over the evident carelessness of the Indian, and cautioned him to be more care ful. The Indian, in reply, asked how near the white man thought he cculd come to him by shooting an arrow straight up in the air. Believing that the Sioux was simply boasting, the employe gave him permis- sion to try his skill in the manne indicated. In an Instant the arrow was soaring swiftly into the alr. Without delay empld ambled out of the wagon, and just in time. The arrow a few sec onds later descended, and its steel point ' EEMIIEET UAKER OATS went completely through wagon exactly at the spot where the white man had been standing a moment before The employe was nettled by the incident, but the Indian, laughing at his agility Iin getting out of the wagon before the arrow struck walked unconcernedly away e dext 3 of the Sloux in the past with the bow an arrow rendered that weapon as dangerous as the Winchester riflc In use among them at the present day. In the past all game was Killed with arrows, and the larder of the In dian was kept well replenished by this means. Now that the government furnishes them with everything that they need the red man Is no longer compelled to depend upon his bow and to keep the wolf from his tepee. Accordingly it fs doubtful if there is a solitary Indian on the entire Sjoux reserva tion who is etill an expert with the primi- tive, but effective, weapon of bygone years. “Shall T Ever Be Strong Again?

Some pros- pectors wern looking for asbestos when th ran onto indications of paint, and, upon going down three feet, were very much surprised and delighted to find their expectations real- ized by uncovering a splendid deposit of red ochre. The bed appea to be inexhaustible, and in some parts is from three to fourteen feet deep. Mr. Helgeson is not a very wealthy man, and Is now nearly crazy over the find, as he considers that it will make a rich man of him.
