to Bismarck, where they were to take an

it undoubtedly will. The book is now

The Secretary Of the Bozeman Expe-

from which we extract the following:
Passing through the country from where we struck
the Little Horn to It. Smith the Big Horn, dis

all convinced that rich mines exist In that Sec
ton Of Montana. We have reason to believe that
all the reports We heard in regard to rich mines in
the Big Horn Mountains and on the tributaries Of the
Tongue and Powder Rivers are true. So fully are we
convinced Of the existence Of these rich deposits of
gold in that country that nearly 100 men out Of the
expedition have sgned themselves to return to the
Big Horn country again this season, and they win
start at the very latest, BIZ the LIT day Of September
There are men at Bismarck who have
been through. the country mentioned.
and who confirm every statement mad e

men here who will see that country be-
