to the conclusion that there 10 little to be
anticipated in the wsy Of Improvement OF
the present condition of affairs-othert

with one of our. most intelligent and far

quite tanguine in the belief that commu-
nication would he opened up by travel
this season with Bismarck and Cheyenne.
The extraordinary excitement over the
discovery of gald in the Black Hills. will
bring thousands into that region, and
farther in this direction. and If large num-
hers come into thst part of the country
our people will also travel from here to
the mines. If gold exists IN the qusnti-
tics o stated, oil the country between
Bozeman and the Black Hills will be thor
ouGhly peospected. The General Govern
ment 10 cosvinced that the emigration can
not be stopped, If gold 10 found that will

thissehe President and Gen.. Sherman are
making arrangements to extinguish the
Indian title or 10 arrange with the Sioux

Hills, and We are satisfied that both OF
these officials have no sort of objection to
miners gong to the Hills, and getting oot
oil the gold they can, # it were not for

country be opened, and al free to 60 there.
there will be such . rush to the Black
Hills % has not been cqualed since the ex-
element in California In 1910. The re-
suit of this emigration will be to fill all
the country intervening between Bozeman
and Bismarck with teeming population,
for the opinion of experienced miners is
that there are rich gold deposits in all the
rrgion emtssoM hy..thes Big Horn and
Yellowstone. We cannot doubt that a
large town will yet spring up at the mouth
of Big Horn, and those who get foot
hold there fKst will soonest make their
fortunes, It's our candid opinion that
the prospect for the opening up of ell the
country between Bozeman and the towns
Of Cheyenne and Bismarck never looked
brighter. Both Of those places have their
eyes Moutanwsrds and Montana is looking
at them. too, through the front door with
l"ngtng affection. We have faith in good
times this year for Eastern Montana, and
added TO what has been eald above. the
fsttering railroad prospect should be cause
for great encouragement.

MARCH 9Th. 1877

MARCH 9Th, 1875.
EDITOR REGISTER 1T becomes my
painful duty to record another item
from Providence Schoolhouse.
The school is just out, that so much
has been said apd written about The
day that has been long looked for,
came last Friday, and the teacher that
teaches that the earth is fat, as might
be expected, was out of humor with
certain parties-especially the friend
of the forks-and concluded to have
revenge out of somebody. So. for a
very rrif1ing offence, he called up
little boy some twelve years of age
(son of Charles Charlton), and stripped
him down to thin shirt. and whipped
him numerically. leaving marks that
could be counted fifty yards. The
flesh was badly bruised. It makes my
heart sick to think of It. The father
of the boy had the young teacher
(Franklin Crabtreeb arrested and
brought before the Hon. Ell. Derthick,
and fined fifty dollars and costs, and
everybody said amen. He has left
for Arizona. and there is many tear
that will not be shed on account OF
his sudden departure.
still remain,
A FRIEND TO THE FORKS.
