condemned him and prayed for his

The paid advocates Of the currupt
Wyoming Ring, who have been wont
to admire the attachment manifested
by our late executive for the sacred
walls of his Office, of course, lind fault
with Gov. Thayer for going to Wash
ington and Absenting himself from
Wyoming, on business connected with
our most Important interests. They
complain Of the Governors absence,
In one Instance, and of his failure to
extinguish the Indian title In Wyo-
ming, in another.
The absurd attempt of these stupid
fellows to pick flaws Is too transparent
not to be appreciated for what 1t is
worth. by the people OF this Territory.
The writer's have been in search Of q
ground of attack upon Governor
Thayer, but so far have only succeeded
in making asses of themselves. 1t
Is claimed by these scribblers that,
while the authorities in Washington
have recently extinguished the Indian
title in Nebraska, nothing has been
done in that respect for Wyoming;
while the facts are that the surrender
Of the Sioux's right to hunt in Ne
braska, was arranged for a year ago,
and that Congress last winter made an
appropriation of SIS 900 to carry that
treaty into effect all that was neces-
sary therefore Ia be done this summer,
was the obtaining Of the signatures OF
the leading chiefs at Red Cloud and
Spotted Tail Agencies to this treaty
which was accomplished by Indian
Inspector Daniels a few weeks a go.
This left the Black Hills and North
ern Wyoming to be provided for in
another treaty and to bring about
that result, Gov. Thayer and Delegate
Steele have spent several months in
Washington, and have been present
at all the interviews between the
officials of the Interior Department
and the Sioux chiefs. In con
Quoting the negotiations with these
Indians, Gov. Thayer took a prom
inent part, being consulted on all
important points by the President and
Secretary Delano. When 1t was ru-
mored thai the negotiations with the
Sioux were about to fail, Gov. Thayer
advised the appointment of a commits
sion to go out to the Indian country
for the purpose of securing a cession
of the Black Hills and Northern Wyo-
ming. and such a commission was
appointed and is now with the In
dians and the latest report from Rev.
Mr.. Human, of the commission, fore
shadows a satisfactory result. This,
In a few words, is what Gov. Thayer
has accomplished for Wyoming dur
ing the two months he has been absent
from the Territory could he have
done as much, il he had followed the
example of his illustrious predecessor
and buried himself within the walls
of the executive Office!

We have been furnished with
the following information by Mr.
Todd Randall, who has Just arrived
in the city from Red Cloud. At n re-
cent council held at that place, the
commissioners requested the chiefs to
accompany them TO the other north
ern agencies, but Red Cloud, Red
d og, and other chiefs, per-emptorily
refused, on the ground that they were
the most powerful tribe, and If the
commissioners wanted a grand coun-
Gil, they should cause the chiefs of the
other tribes to assemble at Red Cloud
for this purpose. The commissioners
are nov on a visit to the Hills, but
will return TO the agencies in eight or
ten days preparatory to going north.

Several of our merchants are
speaking Of establishing branch
stores In the Black Hills. Since the
decision of Attorney General Pierre
pont, stating "that 1t is no offense
against the law to invade the Hills"
those who avail themselves of this
privilege will have nothing to fear
but the Indians, and the gen
eral superstition is, that the commits
sion sent to treat with them will
soon accomplish its purpose, there
by rendering it entirely safe for all
who shall locate In that section.

While we are disposed 10 give to
the public all the information we are
able to gather from responsible sources
in relation to the resources of the Da-
kota Black Hills, and thus publish
Gen. Dodge's letter to Capt. Jordan,
in to-day's LEADER, we do not desire
to have it understood that we hold
that the conclusion Gen. Dodge has
arrived at in regard to the quantity
of gold that can be found nea Har-
ney's Peak, is decisive in the prem
ises at the present time. We all know
that only a few inexperienced men,
who have only the simplest tools and
no c~onveniences for gulch-mining
whatever, have SO far penetrated to
the new gold fields. Good, practical
miners will soon, however, take a
survey OF the ground, and until they
report definitely or the subject, we
shall withhold our opinion and we
ask our readers to take the same
course. When the Hills shall have
been thoroughly tested by miners ex-
perienced in placer diggings, who
shall be supplied with all necessary
appliances, 1t will be time enough to
praise or condemn that section Of the
country as a field for mining opera
tions.

Whatever may be the result in
regard 70 the Dakota side of the
Black Hills, the people of Wyoming
are sure of the existence of gold in
good paying quantities in Northern
Wyoming, in the Big Horn country,
along The Tongue and Powder River
and neal the headwaters of the Vel
lowstone, and we are confident that
in the end the great Eldorado will be
found in these localities.

The Habit of Reading.

q HAVE no time to read" is the COM
mon complaint, and especially of women,
whose occupations are such as to prevent
continuous book perusal. They seem to
think because they cannot devote as much
attention to books as they are compelled
to devote to their avOcations that they can
not read anything. But this is great mis-
take. 1t isn't the books we finish at a
sitting which always do us the most
good. Those we devour in the odd mo-
ments, half a dozen pages at time, often
give us more satisfaction and are more
thoroughly digested than those we make
particular effort to read The men who
have made their mark in the world have
generally been the men who have in boy
hood formed the habit of reading at every
available moment, whether for five min.
utes or five hours.
1t is the habit of reading rather than
the time at our command that helps us on
the road to learning. Many of the most
cultivated persons whose names have
been famous as students have given only
two or three hours a day to their books.
Ii we make use OF spare minutes in the
midst of our work, and read little, if but
page or a paragraph, we shall find our
brains quickened and our toll lightened
by just so much increased satisfaction as
the book gives US. Nothing helps along
the mOnotonous daily round SO much as
fresh and striking thoughts, to be consid-
cred while our hands are busy. A new
idea from new volume is like oil which
reduces the friction of the machinery of
life. What we remember from brief
glimpses into books often serves as a
stimulus to action and becomes one of the
most precious deposits in the treasury of
our recollection. All knowledge is made
up of small parts, which would seem in
significant IN themselves but which, taken
together, are valuable weapons for the
mind and substantial armOr for the soul.
" Read anything continuously" says DR..
Johnson, "and you will be learned" The
odd minutes which we are inclined to
waste, if carefully availed of for instruc-
ton, will, in the long run, make golden
hours and golden days that we shall be
ever thankful for.-ScrG6ner's M0nthly.
