in his investments in Utah; he adj
mits, however, that the Black Hills
will open a far richer field TO the miner
and capitalist.

iDal owners Of the Rocky Mountain
coal mines, ut AImy. near Evanston,
and who is well known to the old set
tiers hereabouts, is also n resident Of Salt
Lake City at present but he is ready
to pull up stakes for the Black Hills,
when they shall be opened to settle
ment. From Cheyenne to Corinne
and Salt Lake City, the Black Hills

being: is the commission going to
make Il treaty with the Sioux" At
Evanston, billiard, Aspen. Green
