Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The late reports Of Prof Janney, the
Black Hills GeOlcgist, 90 TO show that he
! has discovered some two hundred miners
in various eDcampmeuts in thai supposed
| gOld-beaTing country. 1t will be remem-
bered that about tV weeks ago he apprised
the Secretary Of the Interior that there
were in the neighb0IhoOd Of thirty pros
pecting adventures there. He asked what
should be done with them. The Depart
ment told him TO clear them out and to
deny inc. ess to Others. In view Of the
fact that he now has two hundred men
with him, it is problem to be solved how
they got there, whether with his connivance
or under orders from Washington.

templated was premature, and has excited
the opposition Of rival roads. The con
tracts, however, are ready for signature,
and there is little doubt that Postmaster
General Jewell will give them his approval
within a few days.
