to last them until the new expedition
they intend to take out reaches them.

chiefs who Occupy the Black Hills
country, and has talked freely with
them upon the subject of the occupan-
cy ofthe country by the whites. He
says they know the country Is rich in
mineral wealth and that tie whites

treaty with the Government to relin-
quish all claims to the reservation.
They are willing to do this for $4,000
cash and an annuity for fifty years.
