Secretary of War to-day forwarded the
following telegram from General Sheri-
dan to the Secretary of the Interior:
"CHIcAGo, November q.
To Brig. Gen'I To.cnsend, Washington:
l wish to relieve the Hon. Secretary of
War from any apprehension coming
from the false statement going the round:
of some of the eastern papers, reporting
miners ut work in the Black Hills. 1t Is
possible the report may have originated
from the recent discovery OF gold i0rty
miles north of Laramie City, on the
Union Pacific railroad, where many
miners have gone. This place is at least
two hundred miles southwest of the
Black Hills.
