One company penetrated into the country last year
but were driven out by the Indians with the loss
of several lives and tot their horses. Good
prospects were said to have been obtained by the
company, but no one had any leisure to work and
test the value Of its mineral resources. This coun-
try has long been known as the mountain fastncss
of the numerous bands OF Indians whose annual
excursions both north and south have been so
destructive to life and property. This company
in attempting openetrate Into that country will
be treading on dangerous ground. Among the
