a sage Line 70 The nIask mn.

One of the immediate salutary effects
OF the suspension Of hostilities be-
tween the Union and Kansas Pacific
railways, is the growing disposition
on the part OF the former to abandon
its hostile attitude towards Cheyenne.
A letter from Geo. w. Holman, jr., Of
Omaha, to Mr.. A. r. Converse, Of this
city, ma be quoted as evidence Of this
fact. It will be remembered that the
former announced, a short time since,
that he intended to put on a stage line
from Sidney to the Black Hills, and
that the Union Pacific railroad would
aid him in the enterprise, doing all in
its pOwer to divert travel from Chey-
enne to Sidney, by 81 Of special
rates for passengers and freights In
favor of hat place. Mr.. Holman,
however, informs Mr.. Converse, in
the above mentioned letter, that he
has changed his mind and that he will
start his stage line from Cheyenne
provided the business men of this city
will extend to him such substantial
aid as has been offered him by Sidney.
In order to bring Mr.. Homan's propo-
sltion properly before the business
men of Cheyenne, n meeting has been
called for this evening, at the City
Hall, to take such action in the pre-
misses rs may be deemed best by our
people. 1t is to be hoped that II gen
eral attendance of all Interested in
the matter may be had this evening,
so that a thorough discussion can take
place and u satisfactory conclusion OBJ
tanned.
Mr.. Holman Says in this letter to
Mr.. Converse AZ have just returned
from Chicago, where l have met the
different railroad officials, together
with the heads of the Union Pacific
railroad, and they have agreed to
stick by me wherever l establish my
stage route to the Black Hills-to sell
the stage ticket-to advertise the route
to p~ro-rate with me on through fares
from the east to the Black Hills, and
TO encourage travel to That country by
way OF my stage line. [ have also
seen Gen. Perry and the officials of
this department they agree to pro-
tect my line from either Sidney or
Cheyenne, providing the government
permits me to put it on. | prefer
Cheyenne to Sidney, but the latter
you know, is the shortest route. =" = =
If things are made satisfactory, 1 will
agree to run a four horse stage line
from Cheyenne to the Black Hills,

Justifies it, to build my own stations,
to stock the line with American
horses and put everything in first
class order as soon as government will
permit"

The Black Hills have finally got
into the New York Herald, a sign
that the many thousands of readers of
that journal needed information on
the subject. The Herald of the 23rd,
contained a fine map of this country,
and q letter from a Fort Laramie COR
respondent Ia military gentleman,
evidently, in relation to the gold
question, the Indian reservation and
the several routes to the Black Hills.
The correspondent makes several mis-
takes in regard to the Indian reserva-
ton and the routes. Concerning the
latter, he says of the Cheyenne route,
that it is not as good as the road lead
ing from Sidney to the Agencies, while
the fact is, the road from Cheyenne is
far superior to the Sidney route, in all
respects.
In describing the limits of the In
dian reservation, the writer commits
the usual error by including in it the

The New York Herald has the fol-
lowing letter from a well known pub
lie man, which will be read with
interest,"
New YORK. April %, 1875.
To the Editor of the Herald:
enclose herewith a letter just re
eeived from Gen. Van Vliet, a highly
intelligent officer OF the United States
Army, formerly and for many years
stationed in this city, which furnishes
additional information upon a subject
which is attracting public attention.
Truly yours,

My Dear Sir read with great plea
sure your remarks ON u old friend
Father DE Smet. Over twenty years
ago my home was on the p~rarieS. /
passed several years between the Mis-
souri, River and the Rocky Mountains,
and il was while leading that life that
| became acquainted with Father De
Smet. | only refer to this III connec-
ton with the precious metals in tue
Black Hills. One day, in 1851, at the
dinner table of our friend Col. Robert
Campbell, Of st. Louis, the conversa-
ton turned on u wanderings in the
mountains, when Father De Smet
related
THE FOLLOWING INCIDENT,
which occurred in the Black Hills be-
yond the Cheyenne One day while
among the Indians n chief came to
him and showed him some pieces of
metal which he had in his bullet
pouch. AS soon as the Father saw it
he recognized it as platinum. In COM
pnny with the chief he visited the
place and discovered a large mine of
tent and of untold value. He made
the Indian promise neve to divulge
the secret, for it he did the white peO-
pie would drive the Indians out of the
country. He also promised to keep
the secret. He told us hat he had
carefully described the location of this
mine, and that when he died the secret
would be with his church.
Father De Smet could not have
been deceived, and | firmly believe
that there is IA valuable platinum mine
between the Yellowstone and the
Cheyenne. As this metal is worth
Sll5 per pound avoirdupois, and silver
only SIS, you can well understand the
fortune that awaits some lucky man.
Yours truly,

If fifty thousand persons start for
the Black Hills in the next two
months, forty thousand of them will
go by the way of Cheyenne or some
other station on the U. p. r. r. This
is what the Kansas City Times asserts,
and the Bee pronounces the c~alcula-
ton eminently correct. No matter
what part of the Black Hills region
these explorers may want to reach,
they will find the Union Pacific route

If positive proof were needed as to
the insanity Of "Charley Collins" his
telegram to the Omaha Bee, Of the
nth inst, would furnish it. He says !:
1.-THE returned Black Hills miners are
prejudiced against Cheyenne on ac-
count OF the interference manifested
by its people as to them and the open
ing Of the Black Hills.n
Now, Charley, it is n fact, although
we don't like to tell it TO the word,
that your returned miners stopped
here several days in order TO get the
people of Cheyenne ITO interfere"
but they would not "come down"
worth a cent. Cheyenne people need
not buy returned miners to spout for
them, but Sioux City must do that
very thing, in order to keep up its
waning fortune. We pity Sioux City
and Charley Collins, for it won't bene-
fit either to engage in such question
able business. Honesty is the best
policy

Agent Saville left Red Cloud on
Tuesday morning, April 9th, accom-
panied by about twenty of the chiefs
and warriors of the Sioux nation. The
delegation will arrive in Cheyenne
probably on Friday evening next, and
will beentertained here at government
expense until the Spotted Tail repre-
s~entatives arrive, when the entire
g outfit" will start for Washington to
have a pow-wow with the Great
Father. Many of the warriors that
accompany Agents Saville and How

Gen. John NJ. Thayer, our new
Governor, came up from Cheyenne
last evening, and will stop in Laramie
two or three days. He will then re-
turn to Cheyenne to accompany the
delegation of Indian chiefs to Wash
ington, so NJ to represent the interests
of Wyoming in the proposed treaty
for the possession of the Black Hills.
Gov. Thayer is a remarkably genial
and affable gentleman, thoroughly
Western in his style, and our citizens
will like him much, as oon rs they
become as well acquainted with him
personally as we are by reputation.
The Governor is stopping at the
Railroad Hotel, and it will be a good
time for our citizens to call upon him
and get acquainted. Well guarantee
he will be glad to see any and all of
them.-Ldrdmie Sentinel.
