JPea Pictnra of the Indians' Wild Fantas-tic Dress and Ejd Child Adornments. .! MESSIAH CRAZE GHOST DA1TCE. i A Salt Lake Lady Describes the Squaw's Instinct for Beads and Fine Feathers. If, living right among the Indians I and seeing them every day, you find things that amuse you, isn't it fair to suppose that junt those things will in terest peoplo who havo never been as-- t gooialcd with them? When I first canio to Fort Washakie, rny only experience with Indians had i beon with the forlorn-iookin- speci- - 1 mens of Utes who used to come about I asking for "sug, sug"' and here I ex- - I pectcd to find the genuine American in I his original picturesqueness. I But it was summer, and at that sea- - I son the savages' idea of beauty in dress I, becomes subservient to his desire for gory in all the minutest detail. The dancers were seated in a large circle, and consisted of about fifty of the young bucks of the tribe, and a few young boys. 'J hey were all squatted in a circlo with either blankets or can-vas sheets wrapped around them await- - ing the signal to dance, so wo couldn't see their dancing clothes, but were greatly interested in their ornaments. Feathers and quills stuck all over their heads, the mag pie feather being the most popular. I have been told that Indians will frequently pay two dollars for a single eagle feather, as they prize it so highly, and a turkey tail feather is almost as valuable. Their long hair braided and fastened full of all tho queer thitigs they could tie in and hundreds of bangles on their arms and legs. It was only when the torn torn commenced to sound, and the blankets fell back from their shoulders that you realized with a little frightened gasp, that hero was a handful of "whites" in the midst of 200 or more savages. Yes Indeed they looked savage. Their entire bodies being covered with chalk figures. Some had crescents ami stars drawn on the trunks of tho body and others had lines crossing around their legs, while their faces were made hid-eously ugly with red and blue decora-tions. Many wore strings of sleigh bells about tho bodies, and all wore long aprons in front and behind that looked like the ends of the war bonnets, being made of feathers and buckskin fringes. I comfort, and you see him in as nearly i the nudo state as he is allowed to as- - gume, after tho Indian agencies are es- - tabliahed in the country, t When it is warm weather he wears linen leggings that reach to tho knees f and are fastened around tho waist by I! strings, and a loose shirt which meets the leggings that is, if the wind doesn't blow and with moccasins and ft long jl piece of linen about a quarter of a yard wide, which falls both in front and be ll hind almost to the ground. Ho then m has the placid feeling of having satis- - N tied the desire for modest attire. Even I beads and ornaments are too warm to a wear, and slight decoration of red chalk 1 seem to be about as much as the savage I can wear for adornment during the I summer season. I As the weather grew colder and frosts came and brought out the bright I, tints of the leaves, it seemed a signal j for richer and warmer tones in dress. fj Then as yon saw him in the distance, I wrapped in his brilliant wool blanket, !' racing towards you on his sturdy little pony, his hair stiffoncd with grease into fantastic shapes with broad marks of red paint on his face and neck, chains of beads, tiny looking glasses and elk I I teeth about his throat, wide brass bracelets and chains jangling upon his i arms, fur leggings with buckskin i! fringes and handsome beaded mocca- - I sins, then only do you realize the claim ha has upon our imagination, and that he is the representative of the last bit of savagery of America. frequently see the young dude VYou sporting beautifully beaded ? saddlebags, stirrups and bridles, but y - such work is getting more rare each ' year, as the trader's store offers more tempting articles than the squaws can ' make, hence what was onco their rcgu- - )ar work Is now a pastime. f. The trader's store is their great-- con- - umsiuo me circle oi dancers, sat inn chiefs and "old men" of the tribe, and still outsido sat the homely old squaws with their big and little pappooses. OH at a little distance was a smaller group, made up of twelve hearty look-ing bucks, too fat to dance. I suppose, who were seated around an immense torn torn, an iron tub with a drumhead stretched over it. Just behind them and in a cozy little ring, were some six-teen or more, pretty young girl soprano singers. When the iuen were tired of beating on the torn tout tho girls would chimo in with them and sing a few phrases. Just ahout this time we were getting very cold, for although we had on our winter wraps, we were still cold, it be-ing a dull sort of day with no sunshine. The musicians passed the pipe among themselves each taking a long pull. A heavy roll sounded on the torn torn, and all tho dancers got up briskly, evident-ly glad of a chance to warm their chilled frames. D During tho entire dance a queer little jigging step was kept up, and no matter how wild tho gesturing of tho arms, this step was never forgotten for a mo-ment. They made a low, murmuring sound as they moved around tho circle, and frequently put in gestures that were really graceful, with their arms. The drumming on the torn torn became more vigorous, and the dancers added fresh energy to their figures, bending and weaving their bodies and making gestures heavenward, as if they were either imploring aid or vengeance. They would close up to the center of the circle where on a frame of stakes lay a queer looking bundle wrapped in doer skins. We were told it was the sacred pipe, and some said it was meant for a wolf, ' but I don't, think liny one really knows what it was ot what it was lor. It was really impressive when they Would all face the center of the circlo and advance with uplifted arms, making their sounds louder as they went up and softer as they re-treated. This they did threo times, and then they started on their monotonous circle trot, but varied it by going faster, turnincr suddenly and rroine in oonosite directions. The lender seemed to bo getting weary and faint but tho whole dance seined to bo acted instead of being gen-uine in its intensity. Tho others pressed him forward; some would whirl about and throw up their hands as if they were giddy, and the rest would hold him up. One fell forward on the ground, face downward, arms out-stretched. He wished to appear dead, and for a few mom ints lay immovable; but soon he was not able to control his shivering muscles, and his legs and arms chattered like teeth. Then we saw a hue exhibition of will, for he stopped the quivering for fully two minutes, and then it got the better of him. None of the dancers gregating place, and the women will stand for hours leaning with both el j bows on the counters, gazing at the gay f hued calicoes, and making no attempt I to buy until their curiosity has been fully satisfied. An instinct of shopping essentially feminine. The bucks occupy all the chairs and Beats in the vicinity of tho store, even sitting on the floor. Here they smoke and brood in silence, unless one of them discovers something to make a joke about, in the white man or woman who may happen to be, in tho store. A low rumble of chuckling follows the witti-cism, and then they all take a fresh draw on their pipes. To see these inert slobs of humanity squatted around on tho boxes and benches you would hardly think them capable of even a thought of activity, much less preparing for it. i The daily papers say that the Mes-- I siah craze started at Bry agency.among j our northern Arapahoes. The only evi- - denee that the residents had of it was i aj dance that followed tho visit of Red Cloud, who was here in Septem- - l ber. j In reading a description of the Ghost dance, I feel sure that we saw a portion I of it here, danced with moderation, but j not in frenzy. J We had heard for several days that j there was to be a dance, but where or j what kind of a dance, or on what day 1 it would take place, wo could not find j out. It's a little trick the Indians I practice in all their movements secrecy, even in their horse races, which i occur every two weeks, half a mile f from tho military post. They won't 1 tell you when they aro to begin, so you I sit and wait and get so impatient, whilo the Indians among themselves hold the I most lengthhy conHabs as to who shall race first and what tho stakes shall be, and various other details. It reminds you of the Driving Park races of Salt Lake. Iaid the slightest attention to him and after staying there fully iifteen minutes he got up and walked ti his seat wrapping himself up in his blanket which must have given a grateful sen-sation to his icy cold Slosh. Another loft 'the dance and seemed overcome with grief, his shoulders gave great heaves and his hreath came out in sobs. He i a illy deceived nio.for I sup-posed he had hurt himself some way. 1 think he discovered my pity, for when he righted himself he looked up at me with such a roguish look, as much as to say, "I took you in that time." As they had been dancing since morning, this, part of the dance did not last much longer, but closed with a mad and fur-ious chase about tho circle. 1 do not wish to see Indians any nearer the war path than I saw them that day, mid as we climbed into the ambulance to come back to the garrison, 1 felt really glad to got away from them, even though I knew that the only sentiment they held toward us was of gratified vanity, to think we had corns so far to see them dance. We left them listening to one of the chiefs, who passed behind them outside the circle, making a very eloquent speech, if gestures and loud talk-ing are part of Indian elo-quence. There was, apparantly, much apathy among the listeners, i'or they Eaid more attention to the large Hour that the souaws were busily passing around than they did to tho speaker. lie may have been telling them of the Messiah, and if he was he was not mak-ing very much of an impression, and unless the Arrapahoes developed more, interest in tho subject than they did that day, we shall not expect to see them go' on the war path. One young Arrapahoe. when asked what he thought of the Pine Kidgo scare, said in evident disgust, "Arrapahoe no tight had enough Sioux all crazy." He was not far from right events show. Eisabktii Pa rkek, j At last we heard definitely that the J dance was to be held all day on Sunday I and three days afterward at a place on tho Wind river called "Nine mile i crossing." We made tip a party from the post, and at 1 o'clock in the afternoon started off to go to the place, which was nine k miles from Fort Washakie. We had an ! ambulance full of people, a two seated government buckboard. and several on ' horseback. j Never having seen anything of tho j kind, I was afriid we were going to I miss something, but the others assured t me that 1 would see all I cared to seo during tho hour that wo would bo ! thorn. ' After a rather rough ride we came to the place and thought wo must havo been misinforiu- - ' ed for not a sign os them could we see. ' One of us discovered the white top of a teepe across the river, and sure enough . trier fording the stream we came upon tlmost two hundred Indians and quite i village of wig warns. As we came up. they seemed to tie laving an interval of rest, so we hart a ideudid opportunity to see their tog-- mining At ms.

Shipments were commenced yester-day from the Kdison No. 'J. A twenty-liv- e ton lot was sent down. This is the lirst that has been shipped since the big body of ore was struck in the in-cline. Another diflicuHy that has retarded the working of the initio is tho small plant of machinery.

For'the purpie !if miking sure that the payments at e m.'t us n.v COlll . ,),, Manager Wheeler will list the stock on the Denfer Exchange and sell a portion of his stock and use the proceeds with hi? dividends to meet tu. payments. The company is out oidebt. Mr. Whee-ler gave his own pcrv n il notes in part payment forthe propel ii"s nil cg.omcd the task of paying the price and owned l.THT.oiiO share of which he has sold 5000 shares u pniatc anient JO cents a share. As the company has no debt of itsown all the net. proceeds of the mines will be divided among the stockholders in dividends. Of course Mr. Wheeler wiil draw his dividends on all his stock not sold and this with the proceeds from the (.ale !' stock wiil enable him to easily niect the balance of his obligations on the purchase of the properties. Parties buying stock will get their proportion of the net pro- - Hut at 13 o'clock tonight tho new ma-chinery will start up. A largo engine and hoisting plant has been placed on the mine, and operations can be pushed. Some idea, says tha Aspen Times, can be gained of the ore body that, has been discovered when it is known that it has been opened up for fifteen feet, with no sign of foot or hanging walls The shaft on the property is 400 feet deep. From tho bottom an incline was started, which is now down thirty feet. There was a little ore found in the bottom of the shaft, but it was not until tho incline was ell under way that the big body was found. Some of this ore is very rich, assays the other day :going over li'JOO ounces. These were obtained from picked speci-mens but tho whole is of good grade. The value can not be known until the returns are received from this 25 ton lot. N'ow that the new machinery will soon be working, levels will bo started off from the incline and tho mine worked to its full capacity. THE GOOD THUNDER The developments in the Good Thun-der mine are something astonishing. Tho mine was fully described in these columns a few days ago. At that time the level run from the shaft toward the contact at a point thirty-si- x feet below the 412 foot level had just struck the ore. The level has been continued twenty-fiv- e feet through ore. After disclosing that enormous amount of mineral, the work struck the foot wall along which levels have been started both ways. Everything in sight is ore, and the work makes a magnificent showing. Three hundred tons of ore has already been hoisted from this part of the mine, and it looks as though the property would soon be one of the heaviest producers in the camp. The south end is showing seven feet of ore that runs from 75 to 100 ounces. cceds oi me mine irnni tlie lirst. Air. Wheeler has twenty three months vet to pay tho balance of the purchase price and on easy payments The pur-chase price was about siO'i.OUO; about Hf,000 remains to be paii. About $."itl,0i)0 worth of ore is now in sight with the small amount of develop-ment work done. Since Mr. Wheeler took hold of the property, a. year ao last September, he has' spent nearly $30,000, much of which was spent in dead prospecting work. His predeces-sors, some of whom were his eopari-neis- . spent during the p;lst seven years nearly $70,000 in prospecting. By this it will lie seen that the prop-erty has costfiO.OOD. .Mr. Wheeler wiil also commence selling other properties, such as his Iiushwhaeker, Aspen Con-solidated, Iowa and Smuggler Moun-tain, and Aspen Times stocks, and his many valuable mining interests from Frying 1'an to Ashcroft to help him pay ot! his Little Annie notes and save for himself all of his. Ektle Annie stock possible, as he believes that he has iu the Eureka, Little Annie and Juda claims the foundation for one of the most valuable mines in the world, and he is not alone in this belief. THE At'STIN. Work is still continued on the Austin in Lime gulch. The vein will soon be tapped at a depth which is thought will reach pay ore in place. THE GEM. The tunnel on the Gem is running on the vein in low grade ore, and it is thought that when greater depth Is at-tained pay ore will be found. - THE WILMINGTON. The Picnic, Idiewild and Wilmington tunnel being run by Tony Nugent and H. Clark Wheeler has cut the porphyry and tapped the blue lime, which is thought to be about sixty feet thick, when tho Climax vein will be cut at a depth about 200 feet deeper than the lower workings of the Climax and a short distance south. Four men are working. liy February the Climax problem will be solved. the grade of tho mineral in this lease being much higher than that in the north end. A shipment was made yes-terday of 2r tons which, it is thought, will go over 80 ounces, the samples hav-ing run up to 100 ounces. This was t he lirst lot taken from this end for several days, but if teams can be had regular shipments will be maintained hereafter. THE WILTON BELLE. The Wilton Belle is producing some wonderfully rich ore. It shows a streak three inches thick from which three as-says were obtained yesterday, as fol-lows: 50'J4 ounces, 4470 ounces, and 211 ounces. The ore also carries 14 per cent copper. The vein is four feet wide, and there are indications that the rich streak may increase in size. This property is being worked under lease by the Red Jacket Mining com-pany of St. Louis, James W. Mageo be-ing the superintendent. Mr. Magee is greatly pleased with the developments that have followed his work, and he is looking forward to having a big mine there in the future. The Wilton Belle lies west of old Castle City. It was worked several years ago by John C. Teller, but did not prove up at that time. TO START UP. It was reported yesterday that ar-rangements had been completed to start up work on the Deep shaft and Frank-lin Monday. It could not be learned certainly whether or not the report was cone.it, but a gentleman closely iden-tified with the magement informed The Times that such arrangements had been completed. ANOTHER RICH OIJK HOLV. Another rich body of ore has 'been opened iu the Goleonda. Several such bodies have been oponed in that and ad-joining properties belonging to tho As-pen Alining and Smelting company: so such a tinii is nothing new, but is inter-esting nevertheless, as showing how far even the old mines are 1'iom worked out. being liCCKHOHN NO. TWO. A report was circulated yesterday that a strike has been made in the Ibickhorn Xo. 2 which is being worked by Tourtelottc and others. This report was founded on assays secured from the property, Tho lessees found some ore iu the drift that is being run. and when it was assayed it was found to run 30 ounces. The extent of the lind is not yet known, but it is not thought by Mr. Tourtoletio to be more than a small pocket. It is an encour-aging indication to his mind, however, and leads to the hope that important results will soon be reached there. THE 8!MCi) E '!. The north drift on tho 200 foot level of tho Smuggler has developed some nice looking galena ore. The mineral has just been struck and it cannot yet be determined whether or not there is enough of it to be of any value. This drift has been running through low grade, material that has had a very promising appearance: and it had beeu thought more than probable that a good ore chute would soon be opened.

When th eonstittition of Wvominu was mimed there vvns (in nttempt to im-prove e)n the constitution of older states. It njipeiirs that the. convention thought that, the ollice of lieutcuaut governor was a stiperllnous one and that it could be easily dispensed with. The error of this position is shown iu the very first vearof Wyoming's history as a stale. Tho election of Governor Warren to the United States senate has left tiie otliee of governor vacant. The secretary of statu discharges the d sties of governor in case of a vacancy until a new election shall be held. This in-volves tho expense of an election which would be avoided if the constitution provided for a lieutenant governor to take tho place of tho governor. Evi-dently the Wyoming convention thought that the ollice of governor it-self was not a very important one, and that its duties could be readily dis-charged for a short time by the secre-tary of state in addition to attending to the duties of his own ollice. The legis-lature now in session will probably sub-mit an amendment to the constitution providing for the, election of a lieuten-ant governor. This will cure the error, while at the same time it will bo a pub-lic rebuke to tho men who advocated the new experiment in constitution-making- . H iw Shorty Started the Mule. Arizona Miner. Shorty Smith, the boss packer of the Hradshaw mountains, while driving his pack train up the Del Pasco hill, had a very exciting experience last week. Part of the mules were loaded with a Frue concentrator. Oxie of the mules, the largest in the train, was loaded with the long side stills of the concentrator, one on each side, and when the train had gotten half way up the hill and on the steepest part of the trail the mule with the timbers gave a lurch sideways and landed about 100 feet down the hill and lodged in the air between two oak trees about iifteen feet from the ground. How to got the, mule down was the next question. But, like all great packers, Shorty was equal to the emergency, lie soon took iu the situation, rushed up to one of the mules that has some, pow-der, caps and fuse in its pack, which he soon fixed so as to explode the powder and placed it in the hollow end of one of the trees, lie touched a match to the fuse and yelled: "Get out of the road! " and when the shot went off and tho smoke had cleared away Shorty looked around and saw old Tom (the mule), with his load all on. walkim? un the hill to the train, and not a scratch on him.

Just as many men are at work as before the railway stopped work. At Pioche the furnace is run-ning nicely. It turns out 110 to 115 bars of bullion each 24 hours. These average about 111) pounds each, or something over six tons of bullion, in the aggregate per day. It is proposed to put up two or three more smelters this winter and get all in blast, and they have plenty of ore to keep all of them ninnintr A lit-rr- a nnmlian r.t teams are employed hauling ore from three mines at Jack Kabbit, 14 miles distant.and the 1'ioche Con. company has been advertising for teams, and has sent to Cedar City and Para wan for teams to haul bullion to Milford coke and other supplies back to Pioche, and to haul wood, charcoal and ore to the smelter, and they still want teams. The merchants at Pioche havo been buying hay and grain freely, and all tho people there feel well over the situation, and they all look for pios-perou- a times next season. Silver and Gold. Exchange. We would be glad to see silver go naturally and permanently to par with gold at either the United States or tho European ratio, but the chances for anything of this sort, unless the supply of silver decreases or that of gold in-creases, are not especially favorable. However, the white metal has already recovered pearly all the ground which it lost, during the recent Wall street disturbance. A Cleveland Hon M it. Chicago Inter Ocean.
