OUR LOST BABE.

VI Is LOSl BABE.
TO MIR. AND MRS. rs.
One little treasure waiting up yonder,
Freed from time and all its wars
One precious bond that nothing can sunder,
Way up there among eternity's stars.
One little lily broke on its stem,
Exhaling its sweetness up there
A few more days and we'll find our lost gem
Set in the crown our Savior doth wear
One little magnet to draw us to Heaven,
One blessed link to bind us to God;
Cease hearts to ache for the earth bond riven,
The handful of dust that sleeps meath the
sod.
Over there. up the stair, our treasure has
gone
There's only a river between, and a breath:
Two dear little hands ever beckon us on;
Just across the dark river of Death.

The Black Hills.

The Omaha Herald gives descrip-
ton of the Black Hills region, which
has recently come into public notice
by the reports of the expedition of
Gen. Custar. 1t says that The fam
ing accounts of new discoveries made
by this expedition are totally with
out foundation. Nothing new has
been reported beyond the informa-
ton furnished by Hayden, Dodge,
Warren, Cole and Reynolds, the
government explorers, the results of
which are on file in the public ar
chives. The bulk of the informa-
ton in regard to this region was OBJ
tained by Gen. Dodge in 1865, and
Gen. Custar's expedition has added
nothing to it. From the Herdld's
synopsis of the various reports, we
give the following extracts:
The Black Hills lie between 43
deg. 20 min. and 45 deg. latitude, and
l03 deg. 10 min. and l04 deg. so
min. longitude.
The range is clasped, as it We're,
by the north and south branches of
the Cheyenne river the north
branch being known as the Belle
Fourche. They occupy an area of
about one hundred miles north and
south and sixty miles east and west,
and their Tread is about 20 degrees
west of north.
There are some twenty or twenty
five streams of running water that
find their source in these hills upon
the eastern and northern slopes.
Upon their western slopes there are
no more than SIX. All these streams
flow water the year round, and fur
nish most of the water for the Chey-
enne rivers. he Cheyenne rivers,
although they rise many miles west
Of the Black Hills, in dry seasons
generally go dry until the water from
the Black Hills flows into them.
The two branches of the Cheyenne
river join about thirty miles east of
the Black Hills, forming the Big
Cheyenne, which flows into the Mis-
souri, about sixty miles above Fort
Pierre.
Hayden, in his report upon their
geology, says that at least One-third
of their area, or about 1000 square
miles, is covered with excellent pine
timber. and suggests a method of
making this timber available to sell
tiers in Nebraska by floating it down
the forks of Cheyenne river to the
Missouri.
The bad lands almost entirely sur
round the Black Hills.
Along the bases of the southern
portion, Ignite or coal has been
found.
All that portion of the Black Hills
lying from $500 to $500 feet above
the level of the sea is susceptible to
cultivation, where there is plenty of
water.
Nearly every stream rising in the
Black Hills has been thoroughly y
prospected, and the color of gold can
be found in all of them; many a
claim has been staked out upon
them, but they have all been aban-
doned, either from fear of Indians or
lack OF pay dirt.
Silver and gold leads have been
discovered, defined and claimed, and
an organization known as the Black
Hills Mining Company was formed
at Fort Laramie soon after the eX-
porations by Gen. Dodge. Claims
We're staked out, but no work of any
account was ever done.
