lutions were adopted:

SIOUX CITY. March The Journal
has special from Yankton, which
says that Eph. Wilcher, well known
citizen Of Sioux City and member of
the expedition to the Black Hills, ar
rived in Yankton on Saturday. He
reports having left his companions
the stockade expedition--within two
miles of Harney's Peak, Elder creek,

and mining tools. The party left here
October 9Th and struck across the
to point east of the Black
Hills OH the Cheyenne river. They
met party of two hundred mounted
Indians and held a peaceful parley
with them.
After reaching an apparently passa-
BILE pass to the foot of the hills, they
struck into the mountains, and after
picking their way, reached point
within two miles of Hnrney's peak. In
fifteen days from the date of their en-
try into the hills they erected stock
ade eighty feet long, and built log cab
ms from the abundant supply of tim.

peded their prospecting. They sunk
holes and struck gold in
very instance. They found numer-
Gus gold, silver and quartz lodes, and
he specimen Mr.. Wilcher has brought
back is pronounced very rich. The
party never saw an Indian while in the
lills.
Mr.. Wilcher describes the parts of
he hills they saw as having magnifi-
'ent valleys, seemingly limitless forests
If pine, abundance of elk, deer and
'ther game. The greater portion of the
'eturn trip was made through snow
lrifts over trackless country, in the
most stormy and severe weather. The
live on grass they find beneath

oaded OK team into the hills from
sioux City in thirty days. The men,
