Tl,e Indian Ponies.

OF the 800 ponies with which Major
Garland LETT Fort incoln, and the 800
taken in at Fort Abercron bic, only
about 400 reached St. Paul. Thieves
followed the herd from the time 1t left
Bismarck until it reached St. Paul and
hundreds were stolen through the collu-
sion Of the herders, or stampeded at
night by the thieves and then picked up.
Many died on the way,. and many were
abandoned because unfit for travel.
Waggoner, the chief herder, is now in
jail at St. Paul charged with selling po-
nies, and clear case seems to have been
made out against HIM. Major Garland
has had hard siege and though unfor-
tunate does not appear to be blamable
for these losses.

BLACK HILLS.

portunity. Ess
Elwood Grimshaw and Mr.. Osgood,
of Minneapolis, Mr.. Currier, Of Brain
erd, Peter Ostland and Mr.. Bishop, of
Bismarck, and others whose names we
did not learn, in all eleven teams, ar
rived from the Black Hills two or three
days ago. They. return in about ten
days loaded with supplies which are
decidedly scarce in the Hills at the
present time provisions Of all kinds
commanding high prices. Allof those
coming in are satisfied with the Hills
and intend to return. Mr.. Grimshaw
says he thought. for time, even after
he went to the Hills, that the gold sto-
ries reported by the TR1BuSEiwere rasn-
.er wild, but he IS now satisfied that
we did not exaggerate. The Hills have
proven rich in mineral wealth and pre-
sent many advantages to oagriculturists,
traders and others. Mr.. Grimshaw has
passed over the route from bismarck te
the Hills many times at least ten or
dozen.-the past season, as he has
been engaged IN freighting, and he IS
confident the distance between BIS.
,narck and Dsadwood will not exceed
two hundred and ten miles, and says
the road can be very much shortened.
There is little snow on the route, and,
as the prairies are not generally burn
cd, fair winter grazing is found, though
this cannot be depended upon for feed
without grain or hay by trains. The
road is good and loaded teams. in good
condition, will have no difficulty in
reaching the Hills, from Bismarck, In
from ten to fourteen days, while stages
running night and day should make the
trip in 4S hours without difficulty.
Stages on the Cheyenne route now re-
quire six days and the last train in with
supplies was forty days on the road.
FREIGHT from Cheyenne to Deadwood is
twelve cents per ID and the distance is
not less than 800 miles. From Yanki.
ton, now that the river is closed, the
distance. by land is not less than 3bo
miles. from Bismarck the distance Will
not exceed 225 miles and, as is shown
above, is estimated by freighters at
even less than this. Now is certainly
Bismarck opportunity to prove the
advantages ofrthis rozste- over all others.
The excellence of the road between Bis.
1narck and the Hills and the scarcity OF
supplies in the Hills ought to incite
largo shipments from this point from
now on until the first of March. During,
that month heavy snow storms are liza.

making the roads simply fearful until
