and the civilization of these savsges.
The just and humane treatment Of
this war-iike tribe and tho presence
Of United States troops at their agen-
cies, VIII prevent the recurrence OF
depredations which heretofore have
made this section of the Territory
unsafe aud undesirable for settlement.
THE YELLOWSTONE PARK.
The geyser region OF the Upper
Yellowstone, which Congress has
wisely set apart as a National Park,
is unquestiOnably the most astonish-
ing combination of natural wonders
and of imposing and beautiful
scenery in the world. The report of
United States geOlogists who have
repeatedly visited that region, fully
demonstrate this fact. When the
park shall become accessible by rail
roads-say five years hence-we pre-
dict that IL will become the great
summer resort and sanitarium OF the
continent. For sight-seers and lovers
Of the wonderful and picturesque Il
will have more attractions than
Niagara, Yosemite and the White
Mountains combined; and there is
the best reason to believe that the
myriads OF hot and mineral springs
in the Yellowstone Park possess val
liable curative properties. The
summer climate in this region is de
l~igbtfuliy cool, bracing and healthful.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Our people are mainly from the
Western and Southwestern states,
and. though few in number, are
energetic, ~enterprising and intelli-
gent. They are the nucleus of what
l. to be the leading commonwealth OF
the new Northwest. The school
system of Wyoming is excellent and
abundantly sustained. The Terri
tory is free from debt.
Several of the counties have incur
red Indebtedness 10y the making of
needed, permanent improvements;
which debts are represented by
county bonds redeemable in from ten
To twenty years and are consequently
not hurdensome.
With the opening up to settlement
Of Northern Wyoming the tide ofim-
migration will pour into this Terri
tory, as IL formerly has into Califor-
mia or Kansas. The impetus thereby
given to cur mining interests, to
stock raising, agriculture and wool
growing. will give occupation to a
large population aud add much to
the wealth of the nation.
In short, considering climate,
healthfulness, fertility variety. and
abundance Of natural riches, and the
location on the line of the great
national thoroughfare, the Union
Pacific railroad, we know of no
part OF the Western country, which
excells Wyoming, the youngest
child Of Uncle Sam.
1t is no place for drones or handles;
but for hard work. honest ~endeavor,
and capital hacked by brains, il offers
a wide field aud a reasonably sure
reward.

The discovery of rich gold mines
In the Black Hills OF Northwestern
Wyoming has directed general at
tentiou TO our Territory, and letters
Of inquiry in relation 81 the climate,
resources, etc OF our young common
wealth reach this Office daily. As
we have not the time to pen a reply
to each correspondent, we will at
tempt to answer their queries eollec-
lively by giving a general resume of
what may be consistently and truth
fully claimed for our Territory.
CLIMATE HEALTHFULNEss.
Wyoming Is a Territory of i'm
menss extent and hence must have a
variety Of climate 1t is also n
mountainous region and what is true
OF the climate of the valley and
plains would not be true OF the
higher elevations; hut, speaking gen
snlly. and with special reference TO
the portions already settled and the
portion inviting settlement, we say,
without hesitation, there Is not a
finer climate in the world 1t Is per-
fec;ly healthy, the air Is dry, pure
and bracing: there is no malaria and
hence no ague occurs here. WyoIn-
ing is free from the extremes OF heat
and cold, the yearly average temper
ature being The sam as that Of Ohio
and Indiana. Our winters are
usually warmer and far pleasanter
than those OF Illinois or P~ennsylva-
mia. Snow rarely falls to any con
siderable '.epth in the valleys, and
when ii does. a warm sun or wind
usually takes II of in a day or two,
so hal cattle have abundant grazing
the year round.
RESOURCES.
The special resources OF Wyoming
are stock-raising, mining ami. in
some portions, agriculture. Farm
lands are abundant in ali the valleys
and when irrigated are not surpassed
for fertility and productiven' - As
to mining, Wyoming has rich depos-
its OF gold, silver, copper, irJn. lead,
and coal. Our mines are, of course,
less developed than those of the older
Territories, owing To the presence of
hostile Indians in the richest mining
districts OF this Territory. When we
are relieved from the presence of our
red brethren, that Is when the gov
eminent takes measures TO keep them
on their permanent reservation in
Dakota, the development Of our min

admitted by Western stOckmen of
experience hat Wyoming has no
equal. Its superiority consists mainly
in this, that the grass is more abund-
ant and of better quality, the win
tiers are milder and the snow falls
less in our sheltered valleys than on
the elevated and exposed plateaux
further SOUTH Good water Is abund-
ant in Wyoming and the climate Is
such that herds OF all kinds of stock
keep perfectly healthy, and the in
crease is remarkably rapid and GER
tain Many have expressed the
opinion that the stock-growing in
dustry OF Wyoming is of more i'm
portance to her Inhabitants than all
her gold and silver mines, rich as
they are. 1t is certain that the pecu-
culiar kind of grass found here on our
plains and hill-sides is more nu-
tritious than Ohio timothy or the
best blue grass Of Kentucky. This
bunch or graInma grass starts up
early in the spring, reaches maturity
in June and then cures where il
stands, retaining all its nuiritive
qualities and constituting the finest
autumn or winter feed for stock that
nature has anywhere provided. 1t

covers The foothills and the bench
lands, and frequently reaches the
mountain tops, thus furnishing I'M
limited grazing throughout the year
on lanus not available for other pur-
poses.
We know of no business, open TO
all corners, which rffers such solid in
ducements as stock raising in Wyo-
ming. With good management the
risks are few and the returns are
large. Men long engaged in the bus
iness assure us that the profits exceed
four per cent a month, thus doub-
ling the capital in two years. 70
reap all the advantages of the bust
ness and make it fully worth an en-
terprising mans attention, it is
desirable to start with a herd costing
from five to ten thousand dollars.
Many, however, begin with less and
Eucceed well. The bushes of wool
owing, although now in its infancy
n this Territory, is destined to be-
ONE a leading interest.
THE INDIAN QUESTION.
The Indians in Wyoming are
known as .sTreaty Indians" living
on a reservation away from white
settlements. The northeastern part
of Wyoming is yet neutral ground,
the ioux Indians being permitted
by treaty stipulations to hunt over
the same. 1t is expected that Con-
greSs next winter will abrogate the
existing treaty and confine these
Indians to their present reservation
beyond the boundary lines of Wyom-
ing Territory. The preselt policy
of the government toward the Sioux
Is likely 10 result in permanent peace
