THE TERKITORY.
Herald, Oct. a.
Silvcrman's party of prospectors arrived
ct Fort Benton on the 10th, frvln the Sas.
katchewan Mines The reports are fxvors-
bic. The distance (by differences In )ati'
tudc) is just 40 miles from Benton to Fort
Edmonton. Tne richest parts Of the mines
arc 200 miles from the mountain source OF
the Saskatchewan river, and are worked by
half.brceds almost exclusively. The British,
refuse to sell provisions to citizens Of the
United States, and ''frcezc them out in
that way. silvcrman says that goods sen,
by road from Benton will compete with
the prices the British have to charge over
their long road from st. Paul and othc,
sources. They were thirty-two days in com.
ing from Edmonton to Benton, owing ia
the circuitous trail now used. Ten days
prior to reaching the Blackfect Agency, on
the Teton river, they wero without food,
except one goose for nine men. On their
arrival ut the agency, they stc up side of
bacon while waiting for dinner! They were
novices at mining, but cleared six dollar,
per day to the man while in the mines.
Money is plenty, but 70 arc the Blackfccl
Indians, and miner IL just - likely to have
as much Of one as the other. Tho gold they
bring hack is of fine quslity, and compares
favorsbly with Alder gulch dust Thcr.
momctcr ten degrees below zero. .r~r.
