The substitution of the unknown word

"splenetic" in your first item under this head

says that the explorers are well satisfied with
the prospect and are ready to conduct an ex-

the Indian title is extinguished, or as soon as
they are satisfied that the government will
not interfere. The impression prevails that
it would be impossible to prevent parties from
occupying the country becauss they will seek
to enter it from every quarter, east, west and
south, as well as from Bismarck. Gold in un-
limited quantities was discovered at various
points, also silver and lead, gslena, plumbago,
mountains of iron and inexhaustable beds of
