Hon, Columbus Delano, Secretary Of
the Interior, in an official communica.
ton to- the Secretary Of war says
The importance Of determining with
accuracy whether the "Black Hills
country does or does not contain valu-
able mineral deposits cannot be over
estimated. To settle this question sat
:stactorily the department has decided.
uuder the advice Of the president, to
send a competent geoIogist to explore
that region. Should it be found to
CONTAIN the precious metals 10 large
quantities, it will be very desirable to
extinguish the Indian title guaranteed
to the Sioux by the treaty Of 1863
Negotiations for this purpose have
been instituted, and will be pursued
with 1nremitting efforts until 1t is as
cettained whether the Indians will, or
will not, consent to such relinqnish
ment." The secretary adds that tres.
pa>sers upon the reservation are im.
pcriiling the success Of these negotia.
tions, and requests the Secretary Of
War to expel them by military force
if necessary.

Setting ont Trees.

The best time to set fruit trees is ip
the spring, say the last of April CT first
OF May, or ~ soon - the ground il
settled.
The way I set trees is this (and
never lost tree yet BY trausp|auting).
PIow the ground deep as possible BE-
tore setting, aud harrow we'll ; then
stake off your ground in rows both
ways. setting the stakes where the tree
is to be set. Then proceed to dig the
holes for the tree. Dig the hole about
two feet deep, and large enough to
admit the roots without coming ia con.
tact with the sides Of the bank. Fill
in the hole some Of the top soil, say
foot, leaving the hole foot deep Set
in tree and work well pulverized soil
around the roots, aud when the roots
are we'll covered poor ia half pail Of
water, and work the tree little, till
the water soaks away then fill in
more dirt aud press down firmly with
the foot, then more dirt until the sur.
face is little higher than the level OF
the ground. Be sure and straighten
the roots so they will lay the same ~
they did in the nursery. Be sure and
lean the tree little to the southwest
After the trees are all set, have some
halt rotted straw or other coarse litter,
and put around them az mulch. This
checks the rapid evaporation Of the
moisture.
The best mode of culture have not
learned yet. But my mode Of culture
is to cultivate with some kind of a hoed
crop for few years and never cult.
vate later than the Goth Of July or the
list Of August. / find it . good plan
to keep fruit trees mulshed the year
round. This is my plan will some
one else better it?-O. D. Storrs, in
