his bitches full Of water, he has saved most
of his crop.
WE A the pleasure of meeting MIR.
Thomas Williams, who left this place for the
Black hills last fall, and returned on Satur-
day evening last. He does not give a very
flattering account of that country. He says
hat Custer City has about six hundred
buildings; Hill City and Spring City, about
two hundred each, many of which are UNI
occupied. They were built by parties who
were trying to m%onopolize the town prop
erty business. At the time of his arrival,
March 1st,) lots were selling at $4,000, and
several ordinary frame buildings, were sold
for 5000.
In the spring, when it became evident that
there were no paying gulches in that section,
q great many men left for the north. Mr..
w. spent three months at Castle creek, dur
ing which time he ~prospected a number of
bars, and run one cut seventeen feet deep.
He says there are a number of bars, on all
of which colors can be obtained, but nothing
to justify working them.
The gulches above named are very wide,
deep and flat.
Whitewood, which is about seventy-fve
miles from Custer, is the only part of the
country where there were mines that would
pay. The tributaries of this gulch are said
to be short, narrow and shallow, and can
easily be worked out in a few months time.
Mr.. w. did not go there, but talked with a
number OF men who owned claims in Dead
wood and Whitewood, from whom he learn
ed that the ground was all taken up, and
that there were hundreds of men there who
had no claims and no prospect Of getting
any except what they might get by pros
pecting, which was a dangerous business.
The Hills are swarming with Indians who
improve every opportunity to pick off any
who venture a short distance from the camps.
Mr.. w. saw very little farming land, but
learned that there was some good country
north of Custer.
He left the Hills the first of May, and
travelled to Fort Pierre. and from there u,
the river to Bismarck, where he took a boa,
for Carroll.
Four of the party he was with were killed
by Indians OH the road from the Hills to
Fort Pierre. He says nothing can be done
in the way Of developing that country until
the Indians are subdued, which will take
several years and a larger force Of troops
than are at present operating there.
Mr.. Williams has mines in Thompson
gulch, which he will stick to. He says he
prefers to take chances prospecting in Mon.
tana. In his opinion, there are plenty OF
diggings in Meagher county which are un.
claimed, that will pay better than any he
saw in the Hills. Mr.. Williams has been
engaged in mining in this county for several
years, and is a reliable gentleman.

one is, "What kind OF a season
will it he for business ]" AS re-
CARDS the lumber trade, we reply,
that from the tone Of our exchanges
in all directions, while we do not
look for a crushing" business, we
think the indications are highly
favorable. 1t is possible that the
words Of cheer with which we meet
in opening our exchanges, are but
as the whistling of the school boy
to keep up his courage, but it is
undeniable that from all quarters
come statements Of lively move
ments in the retail trade. 1t has
been our fortune in the past month,
to converse with large number of
retailers in Ohio and elsewhere, and
we have yet to find the first one
who has not asserted trade "bet-
ter than we looked for" 1t may
be that the BLESSED is he who ex-
pecteth little, for he shall have
abundance" will apply, and that
the trade is called good, because
none was looked for, but it does
look to us that fair, not specula-
tive demand is showing itself with
the opening season. In our own
locality a straw showing which way
the wind blows, is found in the case
of one mechanic who has had "hard
nipping" all winter, but now re-
ports contracts on hand for several
jobs Of extensive repairs and ad-
ditions, and Eve new buildings.
All over the country, We find our
exchanges mentioning new cree
tons, contemplated contracts let,
and various of the indications
which presage employment to the
mechanic, and the consumption of
lumber, and we are constrained
to the opinion that the worst is
past, and that a healthier condition
of trade will develop during the
coming season.

1t is the intention Of our farm
ers to make farming a lively bust
ness, this summer. Large quanti-
ties of spring crops will be put in,
and the result will be that large
share of the money that is in the
habit of going below for provis-
ions, etc., will remain in the county.
No better place than Alpena ex-
lists, where the industrious farmer
will receive q richer recompense
for his labor, but like every other
business, it requires both skill aud
application to make 1t successful.
We believe the old notion of dig
ging hole in piece of unplowcd
land, putting q potato in it, and
then covering it with your foot is
about exploded. tlnA

Shipping prospects have looked
somewhat fattering during the
past week. Almost as soon as it
was possible for o vessel to reach
this port, barges and sailing vessels
put in an appearance, and COM
inenced loading with lumber, etc,
for lower ports. How the demand
for lumber may hold out we are
unable to say, but is to be hoped
that it will not decrease, and that
the prices may continue as at pre-
sent. Prices are somewhat higher
than last season, and the opening
seems to be much better than was
really expected.
