ALLOTMKNT OF LA NTS. I
''Tlie act of Congress approved June 0.
1000. providing for the allotment of lands
in severally to the luwliiaiis of fhe Kiowa.'
i Comanche and Apache reservation givt*
160 a ere * to each Indian. The allotting)
I agemts are now upon the ground execut-)
i ing the preliminary work in thin matter.'
j The Comanche* and Aipnches seem to be
ramml-h-d to take their allottanent*. and
other h*1
claimed such lands, have, as a rule, con-
duHel tliem*>tve« jn a very «ntlwfaetorv
manner, and if measures are adopted t«
exclude a des ralile claes from getting
foothold here hopes may be entertained
hv the friend* of tlie Indians of a pr -■
perrnis future being experienced by them.
This far. all contracts for cultivation of
Indian lands have 1>ecn ke<pt free frcin
money i-on^ider&lion. the Indians agree
ing to take a share of tlie crops produced.
This plan wa- ido-phd a* best for all con-
cerned. 1 eing fair for the white renter and
calculated to induce the Indian to r tain
an interest in the matter of planting and
eirltii\ation of his lands, and afforded les-
son- of experience in receiving hi" portion
of the crop* raised, and in the 1 us:ne.-s
of di-ojKtsing of the «iune if any remain
for the market after supplying his own
needs.
"Much cNcitMtncnt ha« recently been n-
stigated bv ®:*hemers who have ad'v Hi-
ed that tlie Wi*'hita Mountain* ihound n
gold and prcelou* *tutf. and immediately
after the pasrtiige of the act of .Tune 0.
WOO. providing for 'the opening of tli"
reservation, hundred* flocked Into the
mountain range and pi a red their location
stakes. Many remained long en*nigh t-
dig considerably among the rocks, but no
one is known to have di-vovered anything
assaying any more than dim traces of
what they have sought to find. It is un
ders too<l that veral fake mining corpor-
ations have lwen organized, but no evi
deuce has yet appeared a« ju-tifi-n't/on
of the advertising the mountain range
has received as a place **f mineral de-

MOPTT.Y GRAZING LANDS.
Th« land.s of tluv«ae resen*ations are n'<t
fTtierally adapted to agriculture. The
#oi! of bottom la nil is excellent for farm-
ing purposes, but erops often fail to ma-
fore on a/*eonnt of irregularity of rain-
fall. Wheat on the ri\jer bottom lands
VMuaUy niatures. hut often snfTers injury
at hanevt time on account of ramfaU
Indian cotm. if plaiutefl early, generally
Wiutnrm, but if not planted early i* liable
io failure or production on account of
fio t winds that u-ually prevail froiu the
middle of July to the M of O-ttiber.
T) ese winds dr.v out ail vgc'ation t\ 1
cept in cases of Kaffir corn. All ve_r In
Me seed nuNt be planted early to seen re
any return*. Tlie country is adapted j
well to tock rai^hng: the native gia-s
Wing abundant and of the that
with«ta.nds drouth well. The Kaffir corn
am ex<'ell nt forage <*roip. and .« roputcd
well to answer as a *ul>stitute for corn
food. endures well drouth that will
kill Indian com
them on the re-ervntion. Tiny are < ti ire
ly free from the drink habit, and drunk-
emicM is -o rare tha't hut two «ra<e« have
been d<i*eovercd during the pa.st fifteen
months. Tli is fact, existing among a
p«KjMi?rtion of 4(KM) Indians, is -thought
worthy of note.
SCHOOLS FOR INDIAN CITiTLDREN.
"Three government boarding schools
have been established for the benefi! of
the ehildrn of the Indians of this agency.!
One known as the Riverside is close by ,
Anadarko, with a capacity of 150; one,
known a-* the Fort f^ill, two miles frcin |
the United States military po«4 of same
name, ha® a ca|vamity of 150. and one at
Raiiiev ^fountain, thirty five mi'es wc««t
of the agency and ten miles south of tihe
town of Mountain View, or Oakdale.
Okla.. has capa< ity of 100 pupils. These
schools were filled during the 1a-'t year
and very aatWnctory of energetiic and,
faithful superintendent and employes.

portion of the reservation is leased to cat-
tlemen, whose leases expire March 31,
1001. Tt is thought that, much d'*m«
p v.Mtment will !be experienced by those
who will locate the lands made surnlos
after the Indians are served with all<t-
T ents, with expectation of profitably
firming the same. The reasoning is ba*-
ed upon the fact that the Indian* are
