THE O3FAIIA DAILY BEli&lOXbAV , NOVEMBER 25 , 1895. I Pulse of Western Progress. A complicated care will come up before United States Court Commissioner Hoover at Qeltysburg some tlmo next month , ys a Pierre special to the Sioux Falls Argus- L ader. The case grows out of the action of a number of Indians who took severally lands on Bad river before the opening ot the reservation to settlement. After several jears of such llfo a number of them have decided that It was too long a trip from Bad river to the present location of the ftgcncy , after their monthly supplies , and the while man mods of living In ono place for a long period of time had no charms for these rover * . As n result ninny of them moved on to the rescrvntlon to be near the agency and get the privilege of.a roaming life , giving up their severally selections for that purpose. When most of them had settled on the reserve the ngcnt sent down the pallca to round up the stock they had left on nd rher , and either under Instructions , or be cause they wanted to , the police took every thing boarlng the United Sidles brand , nnd , os a rctnlt , took along a number ot caltlo which had been Issued to Indians who yet re mained on Had river. These Indians asked for a rclurn of their cattle , which was re- funed them , on the ground that they are government cattle and under the control of the agent. They then secured the arrest of the pollen who had taken the caltlo on a charge of larceny. The questions to be set tled Is the government title after the cattle have once been Issued to the reds ; and It tliey are not such who has Jurisdiction over the case , the United States or the stale author ity , the cattle having been taken from an organized county \vhen they were rounded up by the Indian police. rnooiinss AT KEYSTONE. In 1891 Keystone , S. D. . consisted of three log cablni ) , an old timer wrllca to The Iiee , nnd these wcro occupied by prospectors who bnd located Iho Keystone mine some years before. The Keystone mine wns n largo body ot low grade ore , which only wanted capital for development. In the year 189 : ! the Keystone - stone mine was bonded nnd sold to n St. I'mil ayndlcate. Tills sale brought In new pros- poclon nnd encouraged the old prospectors who had held claims In this section of the country for some years. During the l st throe years the country has been more sys tematically prnipeclcd , the outcome of which Is that It Is ileinonslraled beyond doubl that < he Keystone belt of ere IB a coiiununuon ot llm great Ilomestaku l > clt ot the norlhern Hills , nnd that llils section of the country will before many years bo ono ot the largo gold producing sections of Ihe world. Since Iho tlmo of Iho sale of Iho Keystone property there have been found Iho following mines which have milled ere and paid all expenses from Iho surface , viz : Uulllon , Hlimarck , Ida Florence , nnd last , but nol least , the famous Holy Terror. The Holy Terror mine deserves more thnn a passing nollce. It Is n true fissure vein three Jeet wide , with well denned walls , and pro duced the sum of JGO.OOO during a Rlxty-day run wllh a live-stamp mill ; nnd although thu property Is nt present handicapped by two law sulls , It Is a-Hte.idy producer of $1,000 a day with n five-stamp mill. Besides the above mentioned paying1 mines there arc numbers of claims here of largo bodies ot low grade ere only awaiting capital for development work to bo put on a paying basis. , . . The town ot Keystone has grown from Its three log cabins In 1891 to a pljco ot 1,000 people. It has three mills crushing ere and two moro building , with good buildings , school ] , clc. , and nil Iho signs of a lloumhlng civilization. Two lines of railroad are sur veyed lo Iho camp , which will be built In Iho near fulure. Tlie lown Ihus far has had a loglllmate growth due to the finding and working of now mines , bnt there Is no doubt that with the advent of Ibe railroad Hie camp will suffer-all-the , effects of the western ° ° m > NK\V RAILHOAD PROJECT. Papers Incorporating the Albuquerque , Colorado - orado & Pacific railroad , capitalized at $100- 000 , have been filed here , says n recent Den ver special to the. Cheyenne Tribune. The roulo cf the proposed road Is from Albu querque through 'the counties of San Juan , Taoas , nlo Arlba and IJernallllo In Now Mexico ice , crossing the Colorado line at Farming- ton , and through the counties of La Plata , Montezuma , Dolorez , San Mlguc < l , Montrose and Mesa , touching nt Durafigo and Grand Junction , then proceeding In n norlhweslerly direction through Ulntah , Summit , Wasatcli and Salt Lake counties In Utah to Salt Lake City. The course continuing will bo a direct line to some point as yet undecided on Puget Sound , In the stale of Washington. The directors for the first year are J. W. Hanna. president : W. W. Borst , vlco presi dent ; J. C. Veatch. secretary ; O. W. Wilson , treasurer ; 13. T. Wells , counsel. Judge Wells , corporallon counsel , said lhat there was a prospect thai the road , or at Itasl a part of It , would be built nt an early date. "The surveys have already been made , " continued ho , "for that portion of the proposed line between Albuquerque and Grand Junction , and It Is probable Ihe work of grading will be started In the spring If money can be raised. The line will bo pushed on to Salt Lake nnd later to the Pa cific or Puget sound. When mutters assume dcflnllo proportions the stock will be largely Increased. Tlio route of the line Is Ihrough cno ot lh mosl prolific oec'lons In minerals , stona and agriculture In tlio United States. NATUHAL SOFT SOAP. A party of gentlemen from the east , who liavo been hunting ami iismng ror tno past month In the Dig Horn mountains and basin , met , while Ihero , with n pertinent Illustration of lha natural marvels of the great central west , says a Cheyenne ppcclul to the Denver News. This was nothing less than the discov ery of a series of pits , or vals , of natural soft soap , the excellent quality of tlio prod uct showing thai old Dame Nature Is well competent , when In Ihe mood , lo hold up fully the end ot her string an a house wife. wife.These These natural soft soap pits , seven In number and' haying on average capacity of about 1,000 gallons , are BcaUcreJ over an era of' two or 'three acres of alkali land situated just below the mouths of half a dozen' hot springs and two largo springs of practically pure lubricating- .

John Pattlnglll , the wild man ot the Wise Itlver mountains , has been found dead In Ills mountain relrcat , says a Bulte special to the Denver Republican. Pettlnglll came to Montana during the early period of Hit war nnd has ever since lived alone among the wild animals of the Wise River mountains , living entirely' on raw meat procured by run ning down game and killing It wllh a club. He wore * nothing but a breach cloul , his bod.v liHng covered wllh a thick growth of halfj nnd the hair from his head and beard reaching belojv his -waist. Nothing 1ms ever bjo.i learned regarding his life before com ing to Montana , thmigh several stories are ( uhl concerning his reasons for retiring from civilization. Pfltllnglll had knonledgo ofi a fabulously rich gold mine , but never disclosed Us loca tion , though he gave to n party of hunters some imarlz Ihal assayed $50,000 a ton. RICH GOLD BARS. At Buffalo HT , eight miles from llils city , says a Lcwlston dispatch to the Spokane Review , the beach miners uncovered an old deposit of gravel which Is rich In fluke gold. The pay slrcak Is Iwenly.flvs feet thick and men arc maklnc as high as $3 a day With rockers. This discovery has awakened new Ideas it the possibilities of the river bars throughout the cold hell. Thirty years ago all the gravel deposited on the short sldo of the curves In the rlvertf afforded gold In paying quantities. All of the favorr < l locations were run over nnd then abandoned. It Is a well known fact that rivers' channel * wltliln binks ot sand are cnostnntly changing. The old beds are , of course , covered deeply with surface waste from the hills and have never been pros pected , Th discovery at Buffalo Bar Is one of those deposits , which must have counterparts everywhere. On the reservation , below Order's ferry , the Chinamen took $20,000 from ono bar In one year. At Ihe mouth of Alpowna , six nillos below Ihe clly. were fif teen diggings'twenty years ago. There have been vc.ry many such bars worked out and passed over , especially on the reservation. Ths Indians have prolcctcd these liars for twenly years. It Is within the range of pos sibility that the reservation placers will at tract many miners to work Iheae old river heels. MOUNTAINS OF SULPHUR. A. Gcdbe. the Ensenada banker , Is here , says the San Diego ( Cal. ) Sun , on his way home afler a trip , by way of Yuma , to lh > grcal sulphur dcpnsl'ii In Iho southern Coco- pah range of mountains on the easlern side of Lower California. Ho was accompanied by Judge Masterson of Ynma. Mr. Fay and a party of Cocopah Indian guides. They went In an open boal down Iho Colorado lo the mouth of Hardy's Colorado , thence up that rlvor to the neighborhood of the sulphur mines. Godbe describes thcso deposits as being lltllo lew than mountains of sulphur , which Is 87 per cent pure , and refined sul phur Is only 08 per cent pure. All thai It , necessary lo do Is lo shovel Iho sulphur inlo sacks and ship It away to market for ordinary use , especially for the manufacture of Htilphurlc acid. At ono point the deposit rises ns a bluff fifteen feet high and fully ICO feet wl.lc , nil of pure sulphur. At Ihe foot of this a shaft has been sunk Into pure sulphur sixty feet deep. He declines to es timate the total quatillly of sulphur , but simpy says there is "plenty. " Ills plans are to put Ihe product on the market Im- mecllately. Godbe grows t enlhuslastic In his description of the country up Hardy's Colorado river ( which is the lower end of Now river , this county ) . lie declares the. plclttre to bo the finest ho ever saw except soi..c points on Ihe Thames. Wild gecto and ducks abound , and Iho fish in the njlere . we. * so thick they almost Jumped Into our boat in fact , they did frequently strike our oaro. " There were a number of egrtts seen , whose fealhers are worlh $32 an ounce. Several small flocks of a water fowl the Indians call "la grulla " said to be the finest flavored of all fowl were scsn. Al General Andrade's home were seen a number of tame egrets. MONSTER FOSSILS. Mr. John Southwell brought some 'fossils to town recently , says The Dalles ( Ore. ) Mountaineer , that are monsters. The speci mens were found In a bank of blue clay on his place on Ten Mile creek about two months ago. The creek had cut through the clay bank and Ihe bones were exposed at a deplh of about eight feet. Ono of the speci mens was a horn live Inches across the- bass , about a foot long and slightly curved. The other was a hip bone , showing the joint and about eighteen Inches of the bone. It had been broken In setting It out. but waa slued together. The joint measured a foot across. Mr. Southwell says he has the ankle bones , which are In a much better state of preserva tion , at home , and that when spring comes and the ground gets softened lie will dig out Ihe balance of the bkdelon. It Is a monster , t-ure , and If It could be gotten out and the bones all put together. It would ba quite a curiosity. With Ihe meat on those bones there would be enough to start a cannery , and the bones themselves would run a Chicago free-soup house for a whole winter. Just what the big animal was doing around this country at the comparatively recent date his shallow grave Indicates would be hard to guess. STRANGE ARROWHEAD. Workmen , while engaged In splllllng boul- dera In the City creek wash , about eleven miles distant fromUhls city , discovered a gi gantic arrowhead , says a San Bernardino dis patch to the San Francisco Call. It Is made of bluish granite , aboul fifty-three Indus In length , and weighs over 200 pounds. The point nnd edges arc perfect , and It Is un doubtedly tliu work of man. The perfection ot Us shape and th ? evidenca ot careful workmanship lead those who have examined the arrowhead lo believe that It waa used as a symbol or fetich of some ancient tribe. It was" found In a sheltered place at the mouth of the canyon , where It had ap parently been placed a great many years ago. The City creek wash 'emerges from Uio can yon at this polnl. and for miles below Is a vatt field of countless boulders. Students of ancient Indian customs believe that this find has some connection with the natural giant arrowhead In the mountain sldo pointing toward the Aironhead springs , which are only a few miles distant up a branch canyon , The local Indians claim to bo ig norant of its use , or meaning , but all point lo Die arrowhead In Iho mountain side , wlilch i I j' - - > .

Phil Armour ot Chicago Is storing 15,000 bushels of corn at Beaver City. Cedar county will no longer employ teaclirs holding third erado certificates. The crop of sugar beets In Nebraska this year Is estimated at 13,000 acres. The telephone- system will soon bo ex tended from Bea\cr City lo Arnpahoe , and thence up the Republican valley as far as Cambridge. The Modern Woodmen of Fullerfonrenl out the other day and husked and cribbed thlrty-flvo acres of corn for the widow of n deceased brother. U Is now reported that the gold-bearing gravel near Mllford Is In a bed eight miles long and halt n mile wide , and that Iwo other etpcrls besides Bartlclt have found as high as $75 and $190 a ton. The Dorchester Star says : "It U rumored about lown that Francis Schlaltcr. the Den ver healer.

The petition sefs forlh that on September 17 the town was wiped out by fire , which Is alleged to have started fro'ma spark from an Elkhorn - horn engine , which , It Is also allrged , did not have proper spark arresters In the smoke stack. The managers of Iho Elkhorn Irrigation company In lloll county have a largo force of men at work an their land adjoining th ? ditch constructing laterals. They have about thlrly miles ot laterals already com pleted , which cover about 5,000 acres of land. It Is the Intention of the company lo complete fifty miles moieof laterals Ibis fall If Ihe weather remains favorable. . IOWA.

The inew position Is n much moro Important one , and p'ays $500 more n year. George Benson , a farmer near Fredericks , sold sonv ? hogs and delivered them to George Hlgglns in this city and received $105 In greenbacks. It was late when he returned home , and , for safe keeping , he placed them In Ihe ashss of a cook stove. The ncxl morning ho slept late and his wife , nol knowing ot the money , built a fire In the stove and very nearly reduced the bills to ashes. Most of them were1 chirred bevdnd recognition. One of the banks sent them lo Washington to see of Uncle Sam will redeem them. Three large mounds , relics of the Indians- or Mound Builders , have been discovered near Eldora by Dr. Elliott , Charles Galnes and Joseph Boody. One of the mounds was explored by the men recently. It is round In shape. 1CS feet in circumference , forty-five feet in diameter and five or six feet deep. Down at a depth of four feet the men found a number of stone knives , axes and other stone Instruments , and a very tine piece of woolen fabric , which crumpled when ex posed to the light. No bones or remains have yet besn found , but the search Is still looked forward to with much Interest , as this Is Ihe first time these mounds have been opened. A movement has been darted to'organize what will b ? known as the Ottumwa , Eddy- ville & Alula Railroad company. The Incorporators - corporators will bo' residents ot 'the three places named. The local company will bo organized under the laws of Iowa , and will nt once proceed to work up'tho ' right ot way for a railroad between the point * named. It Is an Important link , and those who are taking an Interest'in the mutter have been assured that they will have tli3 taecesttary backing to build and operate the road. Ai > llcles of Incorporation for this new company will be adopted and placed on record within the next thirty days.
