AMERICAN ANENUE.-One of the
prettiest, though most secluded,
hooks in the vicinity of Silver City,
is the American Flat ravine, and if
building improvements continue in
the same ratio that they have pro-
crossed for the past three months,
it will soon be one of the most pop
ulous portions of the town. The
dwellings already erected are I'M
exceptionally nice and comfortable,
and with their fresh coats of paint,
substantial and comedy fences, give
the ravine an air of humble neatness
decidedly attractive. The nameless
street which passes trough the ra-
vine is now fairly entitled to the
name of American Avenue.
THE ORIZABA MINE, which has
just been incorporated in San Fran
cisco, is located at Como, and is one
of the oldest discoveries in the
county. The title of the original
owners vanished under the action
of the late Congressional mining
law, and the mine was promptly re-
located by parties who had been
keeping an eye on the expiration of
the old title. 1t is said to give hopes
of proving a valuable mine.

one of the white girls recently held captive
by that tribe, identified four of the Indians
who murdered her father and mother. They
were Medicine Water, who shot her father,
q squaw who burned her sister, and two
others. The remaining thirteen of the MUIR
derers could not be found. During the roll
call several young Indians fed from the camp
and were pursued by cavalry, but they were
not captured.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-Secretary Delano

delegation of Sioux for the purpose Of nego-
tiating for the extinguishmcnt Of their right

YANKroN, March lit is stated by the
Herald here to-day. on the authority OF Dele
gate Armstrong from Washington, that the
treaty. of the United States with the Sioux In
dians whereby the Black Hills country was
Get apart as 4 reservation, was never ratified
by Congress, and that the best authority says
it will not stand if tested. This is also con-
firmed by other gentlemen who were at WASH

Under discussion. The excitement increases
here in regard to the new gold fields there,
and parties are preparing to start at once.

long as the present treaty exists. Efforts are
now being made to arrange for the extin-
guishment of the Indian title, and all proper
means will be used to accomplish that end.
If, however, the steps which are to be taken

Gallatin County on the Railroad Ques.
tiOn.
At the mass meeting in BoZeman on the
18th inst. the people resolved:
That this meeting confne itself to the con-
sideration of railroad of three feet gauge,
to be in all respects equal to the Denver and
Rio Grande narrow gauge railroad in Colo
RADIO Territory. And that we favor direct
East and West connection.
That the Montana terminus of the contcm-
plated railroad shall be established at some
point the most accessible by natural routes to
all parts of the Territory, and this point we
believe to be on the line of the Jefferson
River.
The following delegates were appointed to
attend the Territorial Railroad Convention,
to be held in Helena on the 21st prex.:
Bozeman-P. w. Meadow, Nelson Story,
J. V. Bogert.
Middle Creek-Jno. Mccormick.
East Gallatin-L. NJ. Howell.
West Gallatin-Brigham Reed.
Hamilton and Central Park-V. A. Cock
rill.
Gallatin City-Messrs. Thomas and Robins.
The delegates were instructed to advocate
as far as possible direct east and west con-
nection. In commenting upon this, the Times
says:
"We desire, and with good reason, an
Eastern connection, but we may not be able
to secure it in the way we wish-and in that
contingency we say let US take the best route
we can get A railroad terminus is better
than railroad station, and terminus OF

Something About u Party that Is Gold
Hunting i'm the Black Hills.

]. Newton Warren, an indefatigablc pros
pecter, whose love of gold and adventure led
him, in spite of Indians and military orders,
into Clusters El Dorado, writes to the Necs
from Harvey City, in the Black Hills, under
date Of February I'd, his letter having been
little over month getting out of the wilder
ness. After stating that his party numbered
twenty-five, and that they left Sioux City Oc-
tober 9Th, 1874, with two wagons and thirty
head of oxen, he says eve reached this
place December 22d, having been on the road
eighty days. We have been prospecting ever
since, and find Clusters reports true in every
particular. We have sunk quite number OF
holes from six to fifteen feet, and have got
results, by panning, all the Way from ''oolor'
to fifteen cents to the painful of dirt, from
two feet below surface down to bedrock.
We have nothing in the way Of mining tools
but pans, picks and shovels. We find too
much water, and have no pumps. Hydraulic
power would pay 800 to the man. What
we need most is mining tools, provisions and
a saw-mill. Pine timber, of good quality, is
plenty; grass is good in the valleys, and even
on the hills. Gold appears to exist here in
abundance, and old miners say that the coun-
try is rich in silver, plumbago and cinnbar. y

There is a rumor atloat in town that the 7th
Infantry will leave Montana for some other
field of action in the spring. California is
said to be it's destination.
Mr.. Moses Solomon's chances for recovery

Mr.. J. H. Beidler, u. S. Deputy Marsha,
arrived in town on the 9th inst, on his way
to the lower country. All law-abiding citi-

Everything indicates an early breaking up
of the river. 1t is more than probable that
before the 10th of May the first boat of the
season will be seen steaming aroundthc bend.

One of the Wonders of Colorado.

Colorado has been called the Wonder
land Of America, and it well deserves that
title. Readers Of the S. Nicholas will
remember some sketches Of the "Garden
Of the Gods" printed in our number for
last December, which showed some of the
wonders Of that region. But the Colorado
River, though it traverses much larger
territory than that of Colorado, is not only
grand enough to deserve the name of a
wonderful river, but very admirably main
tains the reputation Of the Territory for
being place of natural wonders. This
river has lately been explored by Major
j. W. Powell, who has written series Of
papers describing what he saw. These
descriptions were published in Scyi5ner's
Monthly, and the pictures are almost
amazing for their grandeur and beauty.
Nothing like it has ever before been seen
in this country. To explore such wild
and tumultuous stream is severe task.
Many are the thrilling incidents related
by Major Powell and his comrades, and
many were their mishaps A deep river,
confined in narrow gorge or channel Of
steep rock, is full of danger; 1t has no
shores on which wrecked navigators can
be cast, and it is frequently broken by alb
rupt cascades, falls and foaming rapids.
To pass between the great rocks that grimly
lift their heads just above water required
steady eye at the bow and a steady arm
at the tiller.
The Colorado River reaches far up into
the heart of the continent for It's sources.
Away up in Nebraska, there is vast clus-
terofpeaks covered with snow, and forming
an oE-shOot or spur of the Rocky Noun.
tains These are the Wind River Noun
tains, and among them are thousands Of
bright little rivulets and brooks, fed by the
melting SHOWS. Many Of these little streams
run together after awhile, and so form the
Green River, a river which is cold, swim
and deep. 1t crosses the roads that lead
across the continent to California, and, in
old times, when the emigrants used to &c
to the gold country with horses or ox.teams,
they very much dreaded the dangerous
fcrds Of Green River. Il flows on for

Cultivate Good Manners.

1t is one Of the laws Of our being tina,
every inward disposition is strengthened by
the outward expression which represents
it. Besides this, so much Of human hap
piness is dependent upon the manners that
no truly benevolent person, if thoughtful,
can disregard them. We have all expert
enced the charm of gentle and courteous
conduct we have all been drawn irresisti.
bly, to those who are obliging, affable,
and sympathetic in their demeanor. The
friendly grasp, the warm welcome, the
CHEEKY tone, the encouraging word, the
respectful manner, bear no small share in
creating the joy Of life; while the austere
tone, the stern rebuke, the sharp and acrid
remark, the cold and Indifferent manner,
the curt and disrespectful air, the super
cilious and scornful Bearing, are RESPONSE
bic for more Of human distress, despair,
and woe, than their transient nature might
seem to warrant.
Whether we aim at self-improvement or
the well being of others, success is largely
dependent on our outward demeanor. No
one can slight it with impunity. 1t has
many counterfeits and shams which are
truly despicable; but where pure motives
are supreme, and the aims Of life are
worthy, the culture of manners Is an essen
tial means of progress, comforting dignity
and grace upon every noble endeavor.--

Mountains. II Is born In the solitary
lakes which lie in the rocky crags high up
amidst the cold mountain peaks. Few
white men have ever looked upon these
lakes; but we know that out Of their mys.
terious depths, hidden amid the pines and
fir trees, come the waters of the Grand
River. This stream unites with the Green,
and 50 forms the great Colorado, which,
as we have said, flows into the Gulf Of
California. Besides these two main
branches Of the Colorado, there are hun
dreds Of others; some Of them have no
names; but many are named on the maps,
where you may find them duly set down
After these streams leave the immediate
neighborhood Of the Rocky Mountains,-- -
say about two-thirds Of the way down to
the mouth Of the Colorado,--they pass
very dry and rocky country. Ages on
ages ago, il is supposed the surface of this
region was comparatively level, though
broken here and there by rocky peaks.
Through it the streams rushed with great
speed, year after year and century after
century. If there had been frequent and
heavy falls of rain, the surface of the coun-
try would have been washed into the riy-
ers, and the debris, or loose stuff, swept in
would be carried off by the rivers. But
the rain seldom falls there, and so the riy-
ers, left to themselves, have kept on wear
ing down the rocky bed through which
they foam, until they have plowed deep
channels far down into the rocky heart Of
the land Nobody can tell how long the
rivers have been at work carving out these
channels; but there they are, with tremen.

so smooth are the walls Of these gorges or

traveller must pass down the river by water;
there is no shore along which he may walk;
but, in general, the rock rises straight up
from the river on either side.
These canons which we have mentioned
often run into each other just as the
branches Of the stream run into the chan

country, so that one cannot traverse the

The scenery cannot be called beautiful; il
is terrible and sublime. But one must
suppose that few weeks spent in such an
awful place would make one long for the

wonderful country. Nevertheless, the
great river will always be fayorite resort
