CoM1NG.-Reccnt letters from Boston assert
most positively that several men of capital will
come from that city west before June next to
visit Warrens camp with a view to investment
in the quartz mines there. When they come we
hope those who are interested in these mines
and the development of the country generally
will exhibit towards them no "dog in the man
GER policy, such inability to do nothing
themselves and unwillingness that others, who
have the means, should do anything In our
present condition and need of money to start
successfully our quartz mines, We can afford to
be liberal to capitalists who will visit US with
view to investment.

REruRNED.-A. Benson's train of mules,
which several weeks since left freighted with
fruit for Montana, arrived here on Monday.
Geo. Penny who went out in charge remained
in Montana to dispose of the fruit. He had
disposed'of somerof it to good profit over the
freight (eight cents per pound) and had good
prospects of sale of the balance. The whole
cargo EN- braced about $4,000 lbs, consisting
mostly of apples from the orchard of W. Null
key Esq. of this place. -~.e- r-.

Geo. Young Esq who has just returned
home from the Black Hills, gives us some
few items of his observations made while
there. He spent most of last Winter in
travelling over that country with mule
train in connection with government troops
in pursuit of Indians. He says that the
portion of country north from Cheyenne for
about ESQ miles is quite barren and unfit
for settlement. But north and east from
that point it is as fne grazing country as
can be found anywhere. The valleys of
the Sweet Water and Big Horn are remark
ably hne and abound in every variety of
game from the elk and buffalo down to the
rabbit, and wild geese and ducks are very
numerous about the streams and lakes.
The climate is quite mild. He says that
in his travels through that section last
Winter he at no time encountered more
than six inches of snow save in places
where it was drifted. Custer City. last
Winter contained about $50 houses, some
of them well built fine houses. But the
mines in the vicinity did not pay, and the
city now is fast depopulating. At Dead
Wood city there were from fifteen hundred
to two thousand persons, and few very
rich mining claims near by, which furn-
ished the principal attraction. But the
claims generally were poor. The bills
about the city were covered with quartz
much crystalized, and there was but little
arabic land in the immediate vicinity of
the city. He prospected some in different
places along his route and raised collars Of |
gold at almost every point, but he thinks |
the best gold-fields are on the head waters
ofthe Big Horn and Yellowstone rivers,
and that when the danger of Indian raids
awe ceased, prospecting in that section
will be productive of the discovery of good
'ich paying mines of considerable extent.
At present he says more persons are leav-
ng the Black Hills than are going to them.
lie says it is the purpose Of the troops to
lunt Indians all Winter. He says the late
reaty made with some of them is a farce,
hat some of the chiefs who signed it have
lnce been engaged in hostlities, that In.
lians 60 out from the reservation and join
ne hostiles and then return to the agencies.
hat numbers of white men who have
quaws come into the towns and buy am
aunition and take it to the hostiles and
ell it to them. He says that when he left
led Cloud and several chiefs were prision-
RS under guard. Mr.. Young left Cheyenne
bout two weeks ago. He left Sam. Phin-
ey there engaged in keeping restaurant,
nd making money. He says that all the
len who went from here had been profit
bly, employed with trains, and that none
them had gone to mining, as the mines :
ERE not such as to attract them to take up
nd work the claims.

REruRSED.-Warren Delano- Esq. who left
here in January last to visit an aged mother
and friends in Massachusetts,, returned home
this week. He much prefers this country to
any he has seen on his trip. He reports Doc.
Rogers to be gradually improving in health,
but not sufficiently recovered to venture the
journey back here, before Spring, although his
lolsings are to return to this country.
