The distance from Galatn to Virginia
City is forty five miles, and from Virginia
City 20 Bannock, on the west side of the
mountains, is seyenty-one miles, making
the distance from Sioux City to Virginia
City only $40 miles, and to Bannock 92O
miles. The distance from Dubuque to
Sioux City is 800 miles, and the whole dis.
sance from Dubuque to Galla.in is ,124
miles.
The distance from Omaha TO Bannock,
BY way of South Pass and Landers' Cut.
of, is LEO miles, and from St. Paul to
Bannock the distance is even greater, be.
sides being more difficult route on ap.
preaching the mines.
But the saving of distance is not the
only reason for opening the proposed
route. There arc two other gold fields
east of the Rocky Mountains, which can
not be worked on account of the Indians,
and they are both near the line referred
to; the first being among the "Black
Hills only 700 miles from Dubuque, and
the next in the mountains near Big Horn
River, 200 miles further west. The former
has been known to be gold reg; ION since
1853 and extending partly into Nebraska,
and the latter was discovered in 1868.
1t is evident that the gold hunting emf
grants from Northern Illinois and Wiscon.
sin will find great saving of time and
expense by the short route, and tina, for
the present year, at least, the valley Of the
Niobrara and perhaps White river, will
become thoroughfare for the trains bound

In addition to the mineral wealth Of the
eastern slope Of the Rocky Mountains the
agricultural capacity Of The valley of the
Upper Yellowstone and its branches. and
Of the tributaries of the Missouri, begins
to attract stock growers and formers, who
will have good market at the gold mines
for their products until railroads, sti nu.
lated by the annual gold harvests, shall

From the Dubuque Times
YDAHO...ROUTE TO THE GOLD
MINES.

We published in our Washington cor
respondence recently the fact that bill
is before Congress proposing to establish
post route from Sioux City to Idaho
Territory, through the intervening Indian
country, and to protect it by military force.
1t is found that this short route will be
about 400 miles nearer. by wagon road
from the Mississippi than the proposed
route from St. Paul by way of Fort Ben.
ton, and about the same distance nearer
than that of the Platte river. Both the
latter routes cross the Rocky Mountains
twice to reach Virginia City and it's neigh
boring gold mining localities east of the
mountains and on branches of the Mis-
souri,. As the shortest distance by prac.
ticable route is the first element consid-
cred in reference to railroad or wagon
routes, the facts that the best mines in the
new gold region are 200 miles north of the
latitude Of Chicago, and $50 miles north
of the parallel of Dubuque and Sioux
City, have an important bearing on the
necessity OF more direct route from the
Missouri. 1t will be seen by reference to
any map of the Territories east Of the
mountains, that the relative position of
the rivers and Of the points to be reached
by emigrants to Idaho, indicate the want
of route to be opened from Sioux City
following the Missouri northwesterly to
Niobrara, or perhaps to White river, and
thence west i'll the valley of these streams
to the vicinity of the "Black Hills," and
continuing westward across Powder and
Tongue rivers, Big Horn, CIark's Fork
and the Yellowstone to Gallatin at the
forks of Missouri, or passing south of it,
and proceed directly to Virginia City.
The aoove map shows the present tray
e'ed route from Omaha, and also the pro.
posed routes from St Paul and Sioux City.
The better route, SO far as distance is con.
cerned is plainly the one from Sioux City.
The military expedition against the In.
dians is expected 10 pass from Sioux City
up the Missouri nearly 800 miles, to Fort
sully, and to proceed from that point west
and northwest to Fort Alexander, on the
Yellowstone. ltis not yet known whether
the plans Of the campaign will afford pro.
lection On any direct route all the way to
the gold mines. A large train of emf.
grants, however, will leave Sioux CITY
about the LIST Of May, and 60 by way of
the Niobrara river, and cross the plain
from Black Hills to the great bend of the
Yellowstone, aud thence to Gallatin and
the mines. Nearly the whole distance on
this route was explored las. year, and the
latter part of the route is the same that
will be opened from Dear Creek, on the
North Platte, by which part of the emf
grants On the Southern route will seek the
nearest and best route to Virginia City
and its neishboring towns.
The following table shows the ascer-
tanned and estimated distances from Sioux
City. AS part Of the route has been |
measured and the rest travelled, the figures
are very nearly correct:
