fort Lincoln (sept: y Cor. Chicago Tribunel
Clusters expedition returned to Lin
coin last evening, having in ffty-nine
DAYS marched about 900 miles, and a
part of the command 200 miles further.
Twenty-six days were spent in the ex-
ploration of the Black Hills, the COM
mand travelling in it's valleys about 800
miles. Gold was found at various points,
and in Clusters Peak, miles south of
Harney's Peak, in almost Unlimited
quantities. It was found in the grass
roots to the extent of cents per pan
full, increasing in amount till at the
depth of feet, 90 cents to the pan was
the yield, with every facility for mining
at hand. The bedrock was not reached,
and yet shot gold was found, and the
miners estimate that single man could
take out $25 to $500 per day. Twenty
of the boys took gold claims, declaring
their intention to occupy them so as
soon as pesceable possession of the
country could be obtained. The Run
ming Water region, where the Indians
report nuggets lying around loose form
ing ripples IN the brooks. and the Big
Horn region, in which gold is known to
abound, were not explored for lack Of
time. Brief halts and rapid marches
prevented extended explorations, but
the practical miners are ready to pan
on their scalps, aud lead a party into
the Black Hills this fall if assured that
the Government will let them alone,
and it is believed there are not troops
enough in this department. to prevent
the immediate occupation of the coun-
try, for the infatuated gold-hunters will
make break for it from every quarter
from East, South, and West, as we'll
as from Bismarck, which is $50 miles
from Clusters Gulch, Is miles nearer
than any other railroad station on the
Missouri.
Iron in immense quantities and gyp-
sum beds, plumbago lead, silver, and
galena were found, and the country,
Judging from all accounts, is Paradise
as well as an Eldorado. No hostile
Indians, excepting four who came into
camp at Bear Butte, were seen.
The losses during the trip were three
men of dysentery, one man killed by a
comrade, and fifteen horses and mules

Indians, and but few indications Of In
dams were SEEN. The hostiles are loca-
ted i'll the region west and northwest of
the Black Hills, where the buffalo at
present range, and never visit the Black
Hills country. The Black Hills are
not occupied by any, but are frequently
visited by the Indians from the south
ern agencies. Lieut.. Carpenter, who
has just arrived from those agencies,
says the Indians are disappointed, and
feel that the Great Father has kept bad
faith with them in allowing the white
men to enter tie hunting ground of the
Great Spirit, but they will not modest
them, trusting to the Government for
justice.
Gen. Custer, in his report, says: "Our
route from Bear Butte was by way of
the Little Missouri river, until the head
waters of Heart river were reached,
when we moved almost due east to this
post. We explored and located that
portion of the Little Missouri hitherto
unknown. We have marched about
1000 miles, and my command, with re-
plenished supplies, is in good condition
to take the field tomorrow.

The Rice Divorce Suit for fraud in age is
causing great excitement in Boston. It should
warn young men not to marry in haste. Rice is
but q; his bride 81. He swears that she made him
believe she was but his own age, by using Magno-
liza Balm upon her face, neck and hands Poor
youth! He probably found her elbows weren't
quite so soft and pretty. Ought Hagan to be in
dicted? We know of many similar cases. This
Balm gives a most wonderful pearIy and natural
complexion, to which DON'T object We like
pretty women. TO finish tn picture, they should
use Lyons Kathairon upon the hair. With pearIy
chin, rosy cheeks, and soft, luxurious tresses,
they become irresistible.

Death Of a Popular German Poet,

A telegram from Berlin, under date
2lst inst, reports as follows ;--"H. A..
Holman, of Fallersleben the popular
German poet, died to-day, aged
seventy-hv years.
Heinrich August Hoiimann,was born
at Fallersleben, Hanover, on the "a of
April, 1898. He studied theology at
Gottingen in 1916, but soon abandoned
the pursuit for that literature and Ger
man philology. To perfect himself in
these he went to Bonn. Here he made
rapid progress in the society Of the
brothers Grimmy, and in 1920 pro-
duced his Bonner Bruckstucke Won
Otfried." He subsequently travelled
extensively in Belgium, Holland, Ger.
many and Denmark, collecting old
poetry. He was, from 1923 to 1S43,
professor and librarian nj the Uni
versity of Breslau, but was deprived of
the place by special royal decree for
having published an old ballad Of a
very republican tendancy. This event
rendered him extremely popular. In
1916 he settled in Mecklenburg, and in
1913 received government pension
and permission to return to Prussia.
His political, liberal and baccbanalian
songs have rendered his name and
genius dear TO his countrymen all over
the world, while his varied and able
contributions TO journalism afford him
high rank among the Hteraj of the
present century.
