Hon. E. p. Smith Il have discovered gold

and have commenced working. Gold is found
from Castle Creek southwardly to French
Greek al this point, and the deposits are almost
wholly in the Dakota. The region has not
been fully explored, but the yield of gold thus
far has been quite small, and the reports of
the richness of gravel bars are greatly exag-
gerated On French Greek the deposits of
gravel are very unfavorably situated, the water
supply Is small and the failing and grade too
little to admit of the tailings being carried OFF
by the stream. The prospect at present is not
such as 70 warrant extended explorations in
