THE RACK HILLS.

THE BLACK HILLS 60 i
An old miner who has been to&tlle
Black Hills, was in Sioux City a few
days ago, and gave the Journal his
views Of the gold-yielding capacity of
the Hills. The Journal says:
Mr.Swaringer was in the hills about
three weeks, having Travelled about one
hundred, miles after entering and do.
ing considerable prospecting. He as:
sures us that the country has not been
misrepresented by General, Custer. and
the Stockade party. Touching his Ca
pacity to judge, lie says he went to CAL
Norma In 1850 and has been engaged as
"A gold miner during the twenty-five
years since that time. He says he dis
covered California Gulch in 1850; has
mined in Nevada, Utah., New Mexico,
and visited the field of nearly every
gold excitement, and he has seen moth
ing since the early days of California
equaling the prospects in the Black
Hills. In reply to question as to what
. man could take out per day If he had
freedom to work there, he said it would
depend a good deal on the man, but he
thought he could develop about two
ounces of gold a day. He knew that
was pretty rich hc said, but he thought
he could do it.
