That branch of tho tribo, prisoners of
war, upon tho Ft. Sill military reser
vation, has diminished until thoy num
ber less than 2!0 members. This stnto
of affairs grieves tho old broken-down
Apacho cx-chicf and advisor moro than
anything that has over como up in his
lifo in times of war or peace. It has
always been his ambition to have his
tribo, liko his whito brotheron, to thrive
and incrcaso in number and influence.
Gcronimo was tho chief attraction nt
the last pow-wow given by the blank
etod Indians at Collinsvillo. At that
timo ho mot tho Osages, Shawnecs and
a fow Cherokccs and Crocks. Gcronimo
went over with an nrmed escort, upon
permission from Secretary of War Wil
liam II. Taft. J. A. Dickcrson, secre
tary of tho Collinsvillo comcreial club,
camo to Fort Sill and accompanied tic
old chief, his wife and daughter to Col
linsvijle. When old Gcronimo reached
tho spot of tho great Indian pow-wow
and found there E. W. Logston, a Law
ton photographer and ono of his close
personal friends, having rondo many
photos for the old chief, who would not
permit ftnyono to return homo with him,
father preferring to como back with
Mr. Logston.
There was nothing out of the or
dinary in tho dress of Gcronimo to at
tract attention to his porson whon ho
arrived nt tho pow-wow, but ho was
not to bo outdono and when ho saw
tho Shawnecs and Osages all togged out
in thoir many colorod blankets and glar
ing feather headgears and paint of
gaudy tints ho rotirod to his tepee and
soon emerged therofrom in all his paint
and feathers. Ho was a grand up
standing figuro of a man. Yet ho looked
diminutive beside to big fat forms of
Osago and Shawneo until ho looked
around, and then tho big husky Osages
and tall Shawuees seemed 1o wither
away and leavo but tho single figuro
of tho old warrior ia tho foreground.
He took ocpasion early in tho con
vention of Indians to show his contempt

tber tribes ho held a limp hand and
did Tipt say a word. One of tho other
chiefs said it was liko shaking hands
with a monument.
In his speech mado at that time
ho said: "The hope of my people 'is

Groat Whito Father listons. White man
goes sober. Indian should do tho

"I want to go back to my old homo J
before I dio," tho old chici said plain
tively. "I am tired of killing whito
brother. I am 86 years old. Tired of
fight and want Test. Want to go back
to the mountains again. 1 asked tho
Great Whito Father to allow mo to go

If nn electric shock had" passed swift
ly through tho old framo, tho effect
could not havo been moro rapid when
tho question was put to him what ho
thought of Miles, no straigthencd up
and his oyes shone liko coals. His hands
trembled and his lips twisted ns an a
spasm of passion. Ho throw his hand
high in tho air abovq his head and in
a muttered tone in. the Spanish language
ho spoko to tho interpreter. "Tho old
ma dnocs1 not want to talk of General
Miles. Ho does not want to say any

"No moro leaving of tho Fort Sill
reservation," ho said today. "I am
going to stop thcro until tho Great
Whito Father gives Indian right to go
back to is old home in Arizona and New
Mexico."
Wherever Gcronimo goes ho always
collects nbout him rapny curious on
lookers and rapidly disposes of whatov
curiosity or trinket ho is in possession
of. It is estimated that ho cleared as
much as $50 a day at tho Collinsvillo
pow-wow, disposing of his photos nt 25
cents and placing his autograph, a very
crudoly spelled out name GERONI
MO, using all capital letters, added
nnother 25 cents to tho vnluo of his
cards.
Thoro is a movement on foot by the
war department to transfer tho tribe
from Fort Sill to Fort Reno, so as to
mako room for tho enlargement of Fort
Sill to n brigade post. This is opposed
by Gcronimo and his successor, Asa De
lukie, tho newly elected chief. Should
tho department decido to mako this
change, Chief Asa announces that he
will got a permit from tho department
to go back to Now Mexico. Ho is only
of the younger set of Indinns, and hav
ing taken no part in tho outrages ho
is at liberty to leave and go to tho west.
It is liis desire, however, to remain with
his tribesmen as long as possible.
AGITATION AGIST
FORESTRY SERVICE
.. . .i
FEDERAL DECISION CONTAINS A
NICE DISTINCTION IN REGARD
TO VALID CLAIMS, AND MAY DE
TER HASTY LOCATIONS.
Tho recent agitation against tho for
estry service on the ground that it in
terferes with tho rights of "citizens to
prospect for minerals upon tho public
domain, naturally summons ono's atten
tion to tho Unitod States statutes bear
ing upon these rights. From the.. very
foundation of tho govornment, taking
it cuo from tho common law nn tho cus
tom of England, tho national legisla
ture has invested in tho citizens as sov
ereign the lights in all minerals under

lying tho public lands, subject of courso
to tho statutes of tho United States.
Consequently, without congressional act
tho setting apart of a forest reserve
cannot prohibit tho citizen from lay
ing, claim to such mineral. Tho only
restrictions under which ho must labor
are comprehended an tho terms of tho
statutes affecting the location of miner
al claims.
The interest, at tho moment, there
fore, resides in the question as to what
constitutes a valid location. Manifest
ly, a prospector cannot nscsrt rights in
n forest reserve that ho could not legal
ly assert upon any other portion of tho
public domain, though some of tho crit
ics of tho forestry scrvico apparently
bolievo that this should happen. What
tho foresters havo aimed at is tho en
forcement of tho law, and this they do
not themsolvcs accomplish, savo by
bringing evasions of tho law to tho de
partment of tho interior. It is. largely
becauso the department of tho interior
finds it well nigh impossible to prevent
unwarranted or protended locations 'in
othqr regions that tho vigilance of tho
forestry burcan has been reproved ns
a hardship
It so happens that a nice statement
of what constitutes u valid location
appears in a digest of federal decisions
jiiBt issued. Wo can do no better than
quoto it, for tho benefit of those who
think that tho location of supposed
mineral claims should bo treated as a
perfunctory act..
"To constitute a valid location, thcro
much bo such a discovery of mineral as
that an ordinarily prudent man, not ncc
essasrily a miner, would bo justified in
spending his timo and monoy thereon,
in tho development of tho property.
While moro possibility that the ground
claimed contains gold, or that thcro arc
moro indications of the existence of
minerals in" tho ground is not sufficient
.to justify a prudent' person in expend
ing money and work in exploration of
it: yet where the evidence shows tho
actual oxistenco of gold in tho claim,
tho locator is' entitled to strengthen
tho proof upon any of the elements
which ontor. into what is comprehended
by discovery. Ho may supplement the
showing that mineral actually did exist
by proving, as a ground of-justiueawon
for tho expenditure of money and timo,
that tho adjacent ground in tho samo

gulch is rich in tho eamo mineral, or
that geological conditions arc so simi
lar that, from tho character of .the min
eral discovered it is reasonablo to ex
pect to find mineral in valuable quan
tities in the exploitation of the alleged
claim. But thcro must be actual discov
cry of mineral within tho limits of the
claim before a valid location may bo
established.
If this bo a hardship then it is tho
fault of tho mining law,not that of the
forestry buroau. If the government
agents Beck to prohibit prospecting,
that is, duo search for mineral showings
in tho forest reserves, thero would then
bo real ground for complaint.
