Reservation.
T1IK KESEIIVATIOXS.
The Indian reservation It located be
tween the waliltas river on liie north and
Hed river on the south mid between the
tiKtli meridian of wet longitude on l!ie cat
and north Fork or Hei river on the went,
and contains In round numbers -UMOO.iski
acre. Kroin tlila will be deducted about
one million acre taken m by the inoun-
tilns. and a like amount to be allotted to
the Indiaut, leaving about tw o million acre
to be thrown open U wlilio fcttlcr. The
lands occupied by the mountain-' I only
available for grazing piiipoi- and rich in
gold, silver, tin and coal. These arc Mill to
be developed.
WELL WATEKED.
The l;ii!(ioutkldo ofjlhe inuuiitiiiui! are
uiidul.itina prairie, well watered with liv.
Ing a'reains of water In found by digging at.
flrptlm 'of .twenty to tlilrly foct. All ihe
n rjaiim bear a inoro or I c fringo of tun
ler, while large areas are covered with a
growth of memiiiitfl trees, a timber which
make good fence pent and in e."'lcnt
fuel. Other sections and some stream! bear
growth of timber large enough to -aw Into
lumber. Any or nil of these limber lands
are productive, and will make Ihe firms.
By an act of congress approved Juno (,
WJO, the above rcservtalon Is to he opened
to settlement. Oi tlio nortli side of this
reservation Is another known as the Wichita,
reservation, which may be Included ut the
nno time, but Hum is not yet known. The
law opening the reservation, provide Unit
the allotments shall be made in Iroiu t'.nco
to six months, and makes It jhe dutv of the
Tresldent to issue a proclamation opi nin.
the country within six months iiflcr the i.l
lottncnts oreinadf. It is not likely tlmt
the President w ill ttike the six months, and
and he may Issue his proclamation imniedl
etely after the allotments are made. ' Thus
It may be seen the lands may be open at any
Hin from the eurlv storing to summer 01
next year,

There need be no doubt of the pioduc
iveness of these lands. They have liosn
tr.ed in every iiiur.cr with n result that has
produced 20 to 30 liiuel of w heat, ami JO
to 50 bushels of corn per acre. These cropa
liave been raised by farmers living on In
dian lands. The valleys of the Washiti, of
Cache creek. Hearer and other strcn-r.s are
more or less cultivated every year, nnd nl-
ways give good returns. Tie uplands ore
productive of all cereals, and.afford tho fin
est grazing in the world.
