How He LOST HIS WArcu.-The
Omaha Herald Of March 9th tells the
following: A stranger, from Califor'
MIA, was yesterday enjoying n season
of recreation In this city. In the course
Of his rambles he brought up in the
saloon under the Metropolitan. Two
men commenced to bet In q game OF
three card monte, soon after lie came
there, and asked the stranger to hold
the stakes. This he did until no slowly
became interested In the game. He
could see that the nan who dealt the
game WAS losing. and that he didn't
understand It very we'll. anyhow. So
when the bungler finally challenged
him. saying: I'll bet you n hundred
dollars you can't tell where the queen
is," what could the Californian do but
stake his watch and chain. Last night
he WAS feeling lonesome without his
watch, and Marshal Seward was try
Ing to find it.

Northern Revss . ths Pacilie.

In lieu of the lengthy official report, We
give the following condensed account
Of the survey under Gen. Stanley, from the
Missouri Crossing to Powder River.
Washington, Oct. 1.-THE War Depart
mcnt has received from Capt. 8. G. Kellogg
of tho 5th United States cavalry, an official
report of the military expedition which re.
Gently accompanied the surveying party Of
the Northern Pacific Railroad from the
point in Dakota where that roal crosses the
Missouri River to the crossing of the Yellow
stone River in Montana, near the mouth OF
the Powder River. The military escort con-
sisted Of 537 enlisted men and 81 company
officers, and was commanded Ivy Gen. Stan.
ley. Tic entire expedition, including
troops, Indian scouts, Transfers, ind rail-
road engineers, numbered 757. Its object
was l., complete tho linal locating survey Of
tho railroad line across the western half OF
Dakota from the Missouri 10 the Yci!ow>
stone River. On two or three occasions
struggling parties Of Indians appeared on
the TANKS Of the column and fired upon the
troops, probably with tho hope Of creating
o stampede which wOnld enable them to
capture or steal horses and mules. They
were easily driven off in all cases without
serious fighting, and cntircly without loss
on the part of the escort.
The expedition assembled the valley of
Heart River, tributary Of the Missouri,
crossed the low divide between the Missouri
aud the Yellowstone. and followed down
the valley of O'Fallon's Creek 10 the Vel.
l0wstonc River. The mouth Of Powder
River was reached on August 18th, where
salute was fired, and the expedition prcpar.
cd 10 return eastward. The return march
was made nj the rate Of four or five miles
per day, which enabled the engineers to
make careful surveys and effect fl al los
cation of tho railroad line across the section
of country referred 10, being distance of
about c35 miles. A practicable ana excel.
lent route was found without difficulty and
without any serious divergences from .
straight line The river valleys along which
the line mainly runs were found to be uni.
formly fertile, aud the ''bads lands" which
arc represented on most maps as covering
large part of tho region trsversed, were III.
most wholly avoided by the route taken.
Grass was abundant oil the way from the
Missouri to the Yellowstone, and good water
was found ut convenient intervals during
tue entire march. Extensive beds of Ignite
and cmi.bituminous coal were found ct fire.
quent intervals for distance Of $50 miles.
Timber exists IN considerable quantities,
especially in the river valley, and consists
mainly Of oak, ash, and cottonwood. The
expedition was made without accidents or
mishaps of any kind, and resulted, rs above
stated, inthe discovery and location of an
excellent railroad route.
