DEPARTMENT BACKS UP RAY Thinks the Arrest of the Agent at Bhosbono Is Dno to Spite. G.VE CAPTAIN RAY A GOOD REPUTATION J ml Inn rippurtincntVII1 Not Tnke Anjr tcllon on Hie Mnttrr , Ilotravrr , IVtiilliip the Hearing of the Crhulnnl "WASHINGTON nUnRAO OP THE DEB , 140J P Street. N. W , WASHINGTON , Oct 8 , Ths arrciit of Captain P. II. Hay , U. B. A , , acting Indian agent at Ehosliono agency , near Fort \Vaslmkle , has excited a good deal of Interest among officials at the Interior and War departments , Captain Ray U recognized us nn honorable and. capable oQlcer , and the democratic spoilsmen who are frying to drive lilm out ot office to make room lor some civilian who can bo manipulated by them . have entirely failed to make an Impression liere unfavorable to the captain. Soon after Captain Hay was appolnleil Indian ngenl , nt the beginning of thl administration , the trouble began between the people of Fremont county and himself , nnd the former hnvo J < tpt up the" fight against him until It has culminated In the criminal charge , which V.-1II liare to ba Bottled by tha courts. Prior to his appointment It was an easy matter to . vlolato the law , directly or by devious ways , without scrloug Interference on the part of the agent. Cattle were allowed to graio nt flll on the Shoshone reservation , and the door was open to the spoils which , under cer- Uln conditions , can bo gathered under the administration of Indolent or corrupt oniclals. Captain Kay chanBed all this by adopting TOBthoiU to protect the Interests of the KOV- ornment and of the Indians. The department ofilclals express heartr sympathy with Captain Hay In the course ho I * JIM punned , and say tlu < y have no knowledge T t , . J , he ha * ln nny * 'ay exceeded his author- I * Jty or neglected his duty. Numerous petitions Jittvo been received at the office of the com- inlsalontr of Indian affairs asking for the re moval of Captain Hay. but . the official * re- iu to bo Influenced by thorn to displace an omrer who , they Bay , they nrD convinced Is the right man In the right place. SUSTAINED DY THE DEPARTMENT. Commissioner Browning Is now on a tour , r Inspect Ion In the west , but Assistant Com missioner Armstrong , -who has tel < eii special Inlercst In the case from the beginning of the light on Agent Hay. said today to the correspondent of The Ileo : "The whole trouble la that Captain liny has performed his simple duty. This , of course , has not proved agrecablo to the ranchers , who have always been permitted to lot their cattle , run | tf. .v IOOSP over the Indian agency , and they have instituted the light solely with the idea of their ; own betterment. Captain Ray Is an excellent man for the position. He ts a rec- Wlararmy officer and has had cxpcrletcs wlTch has aided him In the performance or his duties. There Is no likelihood ot his inoval. Some- ten days before his arrest re Capliln Kay Informed the olllco that there was some plan afoot by which he would lie rrcsteil , and ho asked if the Indian of fice would lend official assistance. Tele grams wore .Immediately sent assuring him that tlio office would certainly aid him In tuo mntter.

J'lvo nf Ilia MHjrtir's Appointed Itcmpn nnd Itcllr . It will be remembered that Mayor Bemls named n committee of citizens' and Invited ts members to formulate needed charter amendments to be submitted to the next eglslature for enactment. The city coun cil also authorized Prcitdent Howell to select a number of citizens tor a like purpose , which wai done. It soon became apparent that these committees must be merged In order to prevent conflict , and to make effcc- Ive the finding * of one or both. 1'esterddy afternoon the citizens commlt- eo held lt second meeting In the mayor's office , Mr , Kennedy ot the Uemls commit tee , which was appointed to confer with the council committee , with a view to the con solidation of the two committees , reported that if It was desired to act Jointly with the council committee some ot the citizens ap pointed by the mayor would have to step down and out. The men who were objected : o by the combine wera John D. Ho e , V. ) . Strlckler. St. A. . Balcombe , George P , Munro and himself. This Information had icen Imparted to the epeclal committee by l'rcsl < lotit How ell of the council , and the cnunclt huU agreed to consolidate Issues with the citizens' committee providing these objectionable t > erson were withdrawn. Mr. Kennedy stated that 1n his opinion this was the only way to secure harmony , and he offered n motion that these five gentlemen > o dropped from the committee. The situation had previously ben explained to inott of the members present and all flvo > t tlia gentlemen mentioned at once handed n their resignations. The motion was car ried and the mayor Mill call the remaining ten members together with the council com mittee to meet BOIHO time this week. It was explained while Mr. Kennedy's mo tion was pending that the resignations of the members were not demanded by a majority of the council committee. Messrs. Wheeler and Bechcl were the only ones who had objected to any of the- names on the com mittee , and It bad finally been decided that nothing .could be done unless the two com mittees could get together , and that as Wheeler nnd Uechel absolutely refused to liave anything to do with a committee that Included the gentleman named , the conces sion would have to bo made In order to ac complish anything. The consolidated committee now consists of Cotincllmen Hechel , Wheeler , Burkley , Lemly and Howell and Messrs. Andrew nose- water , J. H. Mlllard , W. S. Poppleton. E , n. Overall , Henry Wyman , J. II. Uumont , A. P. Tukey , J. H. Wlnspear , J. II. Cornish. George II. BogKi , L. D. Fowler , George R. Doano and W. J. Connell. In withdrawing from the committee , Mr. Hone stated thut he should like to suggest to the committee the advisability of making some amendment In regard to the present status of the city council. He was opposed to tha present system of having councllmen- at-largo , ami thought that"they should either be abolished or provision made for an upper house , so that any Important measure would have to pass both bodies before It reached the mayor. Judge Cornish ol St. Paul had told him that this system was adopted In St. Paul two years ago , and they had found It a very salutary measure , and ths speaker thought that a similar plan could ) bo adoptail In Omaha with success. Mr. Boggs had nn opinion In regard to the action of the members of the council committee , and he didn't care who knew It. He thought that Mr. Howe was the last man who could be spared from the commit tee , and. as for himself , ho would absolutely refuse to serve. He was beginning to doubt whether It was advisable to nmend the char ter. The council had pretty near power enough " to niln the people now , and If the Idea" was to give them the power to still further encroach on the rights of tbo public then he was opposed to amendments. It was about time that some action , was taken to protect the property owners , Instead of giv ing power to the council to be abused. Mr. Cornish also asked to bo allowed to resign , but both gentlemen were finally pre vailed on to wait until after the reorganized committee had been called together. The following resolution , which was offered by Mayor Demls , was , referred to the new committee : Jtesolvfl , That nil sections of the charter relating to nubile work be so amended as to provide thut nil jiulillc work shall be done by day's work , tirtdor the direction of the Hoard of 1'ubllc Works ; and be It further Resolved , That a committee ot three bo appointed by ( he chair to draft a bill mak- InK the tu-ce siry : amendments to the char ter to carry thU resolution into effect , IIVJIC O.V TUB A.

ENORMOUS FORTUNES IN FLUXING ORES aiurketlns the Ore Loads to New Digcov- orlos M'ork Puys from ttio Start Will Create n Wonderful Itovtval Wraith In the llomeatuke , DEADWOOD. S. D. , Oct. 8 , ( Special. ) The attention ot outside smelters Is now being drawn to the Black Hills as a source ot supply for fluxing orea. A short tltno ago the Smelter Clearing association ot Den ver , Colo. , contracted for 12,000 tons of such ores , and/ / already many shipments have been mado. Should this character of ore prove- of the right quality , and there Is no doubt but what It will , there Is sufficient of It In the Black Hills to keep every smelter In the Black Hills supplied. In the Dare Butte district there nro sev eral locations containing an ore that Is known to be the best In the world for this purposo. It occurs In blanket veins , varying In thick ness from four to eight feet , resting on a quartzllo stratum , and covered by but a few feet ot soil , so but little labor would bo re quired to put the claims In a condition to furnish any amount desired. In other dis tricts of the Hills the same formation ap pears , and' now that attention la being called to It will be added as another source of wealth to this country. U means much tor the Hills , as It will inaka profitable a char acter ot property which has hitherto been looked upon as so much waste. Tha Yellow Creek mines are proving much better than the fondest Imaginings of thslr locators ever colored them. A little oTar two months ago the district was not thought ol In a productive sense , there not being a location throughout Its entire extent that had on It more than n. prospect hole , but to day there are being liandled by the Deadwood - wood reduction plants hundreds of tons dally from that particular locality , and zomo of tha ere la proving to be very rich. One batch ot 100 tons from the locations ot A. Q. JlcShlve & Co , , which was handled by a local plant , gave net returns to the shippers of $96 per ton. Other smaller batches have returned values ranging from $13 to $290per ton. While two months ago not un ounce ot ore was being shipped from these mines today hundreds ot tons are being handled dally , Omaha nnd Denver smelters treating a good deal of It. Had this find occurred In far-off Africa , or even In the Inaccessible regions of Colorado , It would have been looked upon as one ot the greatest mining strikes of the age , but na yet very little outside attention has been attracted to It. As U Is , the locations , owned In the main by poor men , carry ore which always finds a ready market , and , as a consequence , the work of development cannot be clawed ns "dead work , " but pays for Itself as the process progresses , BO the result Is that the owners are not required teal \ for the whima or kindness ot eastern capitalists for the necessary funds to put their claims In shape , H Is certainly ona of the most Im portant discoveries that has been made In the Black Hills for years , and as the ore carries but a small percentage of silver their value cannot be affected by the fluctua tions of the white metal. MADE A SUCCESSFUL TEST. The South Dakota Kilning company , which for a year past has been making1 extensive preparations to begin the reduction of ores on Its properties , started up Its chlorlnatlon plant at Garden City a fen- days ago on twenty-five tons of ore from tbo Qunnlson mine In the Bald mountain district. Thla test , which waa satisfactory , was followed by a run on ore from the Katie and Josle , situ ated on Anna creek. This latter ere In for mer testa was given returns ranging from $25 to $56 In gold per ton , and should the char acter of the ore continue to bs as good , the plant will be kept busy upon It. The Homestako Mining company has de clared its regular monthly dividend the 191th since Its organization of $25,000 , a to tal up to date ot $5,287.000 , which Is pretty good for a mine which has beki In operation but a little over fifteen years , and upon whose stock but one assessment has ever been levied.
