Pooatello, Idaho, July 22 - From pres
ent indications the conflict between the
settlers of the Jaokson Hole country)
northeastern Idaho and northwestern
Wyoming, and the Indians is not ended.
To-day wandereru arrived on the reserva
tion,' but they are in far from a peaoefnl

brought the bodies of four dead backs.
It has been given out all along that only
one Indian had been killed. One of the
buoks said that they only came to the
reservation to get more ammunition and
were goiug back to kill the white men.
Agent Teters will request the 7th infan
try from Fort Russell and Cheyenne, or
the 8th oavalry from Boise, to be at onoe
sent to this point, unless the Indians re
turn quickly to their homes. J. 0. Houtse,
ranchman, of Soda Springs, says that the
police told him that the Indians had killed
a white man, his wife and ohild, and that
the settlers rallied and killed six Indians.
ALABMINO BEPOBT ABOUT PBINOETON
STUDENTS.
New York. Reports that a party of
Princeton students, engaged in geological
explorations iu Wyoming, had been cap
tured by Bannock Indians, caused much
comment and apprehension among friends
of the students in this city. Robert F.
Little, whose son, Robert F. Little, jr., is
with the expedition, sent the following
telegram : "Commandant Fort Washakie,
Wyo.: Telegraph immediately if there is
any truth in the rumor that the Princeton
boys have been captured by Indians.
Signed, R. F. Little."
Little received the following reply to
day: "No truth in the report; nothing
known here. Signed, Kramer, com
mandant." The last plaoe the party was heard
from was Crow Creek, on. the Big Wind
river, forty-two miles from Fort Washa
kie. NOT OBEDITED BY OOV. BI0HABD8.
Cheyenne, Wyo. Governor Riohards is
certain that no harm has befallen the
students from Princeton University. The
fight between the Indians and settlers oc
curred July 4, in ther Jaokson Hole region,
directly south of the Yellowstone national
park. On July 6, the Princeton students
were at Landen, over 100 miles from the
scene of the trouble. The expedition
proceeded slowly up the Big Wind river
toward the northwest in search of speci
mens and to examine the geological
formations west of Fort Washakie.

THE H0RR-HARVEY DEBATE.
Horr Forced to Adroit that One of Ills
Authorities Had JHnde a Mis
statement ItesnectliiK Sil
ver Coinage.
Chicago, July 22. The Horr-Harvey
debate on silver was resumed this after
noon. Horr opened with a written argu
ment touching the impossibility of main
taining a fixed ratio between gold and
silver. As a result of experience, he said,
all civilized nations had diBoarded silver
standard money. It was useless to
exploit long tables of ratios to show
whether tne double standard eonid oe
maintained. The world had pronounced
against silver.
Harvey said that he had been called on
by letters and telegrams to give the state
ments of Blaine, Ingalls and others con
cerning the demonetization aot. He said
that the words at his disposal in tne de
bate would not admit of it. Taking up
Horr's eulogy, by Senator Morrill, de
livered on Saturday, he charged that Mor
rill erred in saying that no silver dollar
had been coined for forty years prior to
1878. Mr. Harvey read from a report of
the director of the mint, showing that
Bilver dollars in greater or less amounts
had been coined nearly every year.
The faot was that Morrill was a bank
stockholder with bank stockholders'
prejudices. He oalled on Horr to ex
plain. Horr said that Morrill had not meant
to say that not a dollar had been ooined,
but that none to speak of had been
ooined. At most it could only be said
that Morrill had made a mistake. - Har
vey, in his book, had made a mistake and
a bad one in stating the amount of the
Bilver ooined during the lite of the gov
ernment. BLOODSHED AT PULLMAN.

A FASCINATING PROPOSITION.
Wonderfully Attractive Business Fea
tures ot the Cocliiti Mining:
District.
Peculiarity of the reat Ore Deposits
An Electrical Project Combining
Transportation, Reduction
and Irrigation.
Spcclul Dispatch to the Globo-Demoerat.
Santa Fe, N. M., July 11. With sar
donic regard for the fitr.ess of things the
miners who are staking out olaims and
developing prospects in the reoently dis
covered gold district of Coohiti call their
new town "Bland." Cocliiti is thirty
miles due west from Santa Fe as the tele
phone polos Btand, but a somewhat longer
distance as the burro travels. It is a
proposition of gold, gold everywhere,
and no way to get it out. Experienced
miners who have tramped over the dis
trict any that a thousand tons of ore a
day could be produced. But of what nse
nre vast ledges of low grade "rotten
grnnite" if twenty-five miles of wagoning
or bnrroing over a ragged road is between
them and the nearest railroad point, and
if to the hnnling and packing must also
be added a second transportation charge
before the plnoe of reduotion is reached?
With this disadvantage several of the
mines are being worked. Tho ore is as
sorted, and that which is Bout over the
nionntnins and then transported by rail
to smelters pays these ohnrges and yields
a profit of from $25 to hundreds of dol
lnrs a ton.
PECULIARITIES OF THE CAMP.
The peculiarity about the ore is the
wonderfnl amount of it. While it lies in
largo bodies, it improves in richness with
the depth. Instead of sinking shafts
from the top of their claims, miners find
it a decided saving of labor to tunnel in
from the bottom of the almost perpen
dicular Bided canons. In this way the
ore bodies are readied with a great sav
ing of labor.
1 he discoveries and developments up
to this time are scatttered over a district
three or four miles square. There have
been found some pockets containing ore
whioh yielded $2,000 to $3,000 to the ton.
But the great bodies of ore range from
$20 to $25 B ton upwards. Prospeots
have been nnk considerable distances
without finding the bottom of the gold
bearing rock. A fnir average of the field
is said to be $50 a ton. Of course ore of
that value can not be mined and hauled
out of such a district with profit, It most
be handled near where it is found. It ex
ists in immense quantities. It oan be
blnsted and thrown down with ease and
at little cost. It can bo hauled down the
canon by a railroad. These are the
elements whioh enter into the estimate of
the new field's importance. And these
are the conditions whioh havo ltd to the
development of an interesting enter
prise. Hundreds of locations have been made,
and several hundred people have estab
lished themselves at Bland and a neigh
boring town called Allerton to wait for
the railway and the rednotion works.
Some silver is found, but the main pro
duct is gold, and it iB as gold bearing
that the ledges or blankets claim atten
tion. Half a dozen mines are down to a
depth of 100 feet, and selected ore is be
ing shipped oat from theui. A thousand
tons a day is considered a not excessive
estimate of what may be handled when
the promised facilities are in operation.
The saving in transportation on half a
million tons of this ore will be many
times the cost of building the railroad.
ELECTRIC VOWEK AND BAILBOAD.
Coohiti lies on the Rio Grande, just be
low the famoaB White Rock canon. Com
ing down from the plateau of Colorado,
the river has cut for ita way a gorge from
800 to 1,000 feet deep and from 200 to
2,000 feet wide. This is the source of
power. There are natural points in the
canon for dams. One of them is at the
mouth of the White Rock canon and
nearly opposite where Pino oanon opens
upon the river. At its mouth the canon
of the White Rook is only 800 feet wide,
with nearly perpendicular walls from 800
to 500 feet high. Two dams in the oanon
are contemplated by the plan of the oom
pany. The water power thus created is
to furnish the eleotrio power for operat
ing the railway in the Pino canon, driv
ing the maohinery of reduction works,
lighting and operating the mines. Tho
dams will baok the water in reservoirs
ten miles long and from a quartor to half
a mile in width. A double use of the
water is contemplated.
While the mountains come down to the
river on the Coohiti side, there is a wide
level valley on the Santa Fe side. When
the water has been used for power it will
be drawn off through ditohes to this plain
and used for the irrigation of .thousands
of acres of fertile land. The mining and
reduction works will bring to the Coohiti
district many people, and there will be
an immediate market for all of the pro
duce that may be raised in the vicinity
The feasible approach to the district is
from the Santa Fe Bide, and a railroad
from this oity to the Pino will be the first
step in this enterprise. The oanon has
been examined by engineers. There is
said to be nothing in the way of the rail
road construction up the Pino from the
river to Bland. And when the road is
built, the estimate is that the ore can be
hauled out from the mines to the reduc
tion works profitably for the transports'
Hon oompany at from $1.60 to $2 a ton
With railway and rednotion works in
operation on snoh a plan, and with the
utilization of eleotrio power thus derived
from the storage of water in the White
Rock oanon, it appears that the lowest
grade ores oan be tamed out with profit
The whole proposition is a fascinating
one.
, TUB COOHITI OBANT.
Like so many other New Mexican en
terprises and plans of development, Co
ohiti has suffered from the inoubns of an
old grant claim. It has been scarcely
month since a decision of the land court
partially removed that wet blanket. The
law provides that confirmation of grants
shall not affect sold and silver mines.
Still the existence of snch a claim has
boen, until now, a ohtiok on the railroad
rednotion and irrigation projects.

Highest of all in Leavening
Absolutely pure
a oor(a:n Indian village, long since aban
doned, was located, the grant has been
"spreod," as the expression is. Whitney
and his associates bought upon tne sup
position thBt this pueblo was miles north
of the plBoe where the government testi
mony and oertain archives located it at
the time the crant was made. The court.
took the government's view of the con
troversy, nnd found that the grant was
good only for 3,000 or 4,000 acres, nnd
confirmed it for that amount. This deci
sion was received with great rejoicing by
the miners. They built huge bonfires,
banged away with anvils nnd listened to
enthusiastic speeches. They entered in
to a oomDaot to stand together and see
that there ifl no claim-jumping when the
boom sets in. From the land court there
is the right of appeal to the United
States supreme court. Notice of such
appeal has been given, and until final set
tlement is affected the camp will, prob
ably, not demonstrate its full importance.
There seems, however, to be no question
about the existence of the ore in immense
quantities, and of value to pay hand
somely when near-by transportation and
rednotion are provided. St. Louis and
Santa Fe people are in the oompany
which has been formed to supply these
facilities and to make use of the While
Rook canon water power. They have as
surances of abundant capital to carry out
their plans, and say that work would
have begun before this time but for the
question of the extent of the grant.

Negotiations Respecting Kx-Consnl
Waller, Imprisoned in France,
In a Very Unsatisfactory
Condition.
Washington, July 22. The negotiations
with the French government respecting
the case of ex-United States ConBul Wal
ler, now under confinement in a French
jail at Marseilles, are in a most unsatis
factory shape, iii spite ot the best efforts
of the state department, exerted through
Ambassador Ecstis, to secure justice for
Waller. It is becoming evident that, if
anything is to be accomplished, it will be
only by the display of a much more de
termined stand than has yet been taken.
The French government has absolutely
refused Ambassador Eustis the right to
see Waller personally.
Then it has failed eo far to supply the
ambassador with the desired copy of the
court martial record, iu order that our
government might satisfy itself of the
sufficiency of the evidence on which
Waller was convicted. As to faul Bray,
Waller's step-son, it is olear that he was
deported from Madagascar and suffered
hardship without the vestige of a trial or
any legal proceedings, and, as he is an
American citizen, this must form tne
subject of a demand for redress.

The Chisum ranch orchard is loaded
dowu with npples this year. On one
twig no thicker than a lend poncil we
counted twenty-four big maiden blush

only a question of how many can be lefF
without breaking the trees down, for
many of them must be stripped of half
the green fruit to save the trees. Her
man Weiser, tho orohardist, always takes
pleasure in showing prospectors and per
sons interested in fruit growing around
the plaoe. Roswell Register.

oft the bench as short as possible and all
at one time. Aluuqnorque Citizen.
