At any rate e & II s. l'.'
in the Black Hills have csased and fears
are no longer entertainea
Labor, it now appearj, finds ready
employment in the hills at five dollars
per day with
PAY EVERY NIGHT
if it is desired, aud the rtaction follow
ing the severe times experienced during
the spring and winter h1s set in. The
tide apain turns in favor of the hills,
and II Congress will open the, country
an outlet for surplus lsb6r of the coun.
trv will be found that will be lasting in
its benefits, and of untold value to all
portions of the country.
The arrival of this gold, being the
first fruits Of the Deadwood mines, in.
deed of the Hills, had , magnificent
effect en- Bismarck. @~, 's.5. ..szs @
EVERYBODY WAS GLooAY
and despondent. The merchants were
overloaded with supplies; the hotels
were destitute Of Black Killers and al
most everybody had incurred expenses
they could ill afford in view of the gen.
eral disappointment. Major Whitehead
had been waiting thirty days for force
strong enough to startfo the hills and
had hardly reached thespoiDt where he
cotld safely start. Wednesday was pro.
baby the gloomiest day of the season;
Thursday the happiest, and Friday the
busiest. On Fridsy twenty teams were.
loaded with m,ner's Supplies for Crook
City and they smessa s4stathat evening
for the-New Eldorado, joining / z others
in camp on the Little Heart.
Doc Jennings took four loads of sup
plies and will establish business at
Crook City. VIM: Fa1coner, of Mclean
& Macnider, took out four loads IN ad-
dition to consignments for others; j.
w. Raymond & Co. loaded eight or ten
wagons in addition to those loaded on
Tuesday. Browning & Wringrose for
warded a large amount Of goods, also
Bailey & Landre. Forty tons Of goods
in all we're shipped by the thirty seven
teams which left on Friday, besides bag
gage, household goods &C. About one
hundred men and two women accomfa-
MED the party. AS the distance from
BISMARCK TO DEADwooD
is less than two hundred miles the par
tv with their loaded teams expect to
reach the Hills within ten days. The
train consists wholly of mules or horses;
an OK train came out in ten days, and
went out early in the season in thirteen.
Stevenson's OK train will leave for the
hills about next Monday. P. j. Anderson
and others have gone below to purchase
oxex, which, with Stevenson's, McGor-
rvs and others will make a creditable
array of bullwhackers.
The Fort Pierre Route is
CERTAINLY ABANDONED,
leaving that via Bismrrck the only prac-
ticable route to the Hills. The Key
West arrived Saturday with seventy.
five tons Of freight shipped from Yank-
ton. The military had been instructed
to force the abandonment of the Fort
Pierre line and therefore the Key West
was not allowed to land its goods or
passengers at Fort Pierre. Dillon had
crossed his teams to the east side of the
river and had determined to operate
hereafter between Bismarck and the
Hills. This is another strong
CARD FOR BISMARCK.
John Leasure, John Mcclellan, Pat
Anderson and others tell many
INTERESTING INCIDENTS
in relation to the Black Hills. We
have room this week for but one: Six
weeks ago to. day (June 10th) young
man broken IN spirits and destitute of
wealth offered his services to any one
who would contract for them at one
dollar day and board. There were no
takers, and from sheer desperation he
went to work on an abandoned claim.
The first day be took out one pound of
gold -$24O-and before month had
passed he had realized from his claim
ten thousand dollars. -Four men were
employed and the average product was
nearly four hundred dollars per day.
Others who. six weeks ago. would
have been glad to work for grub, or beg
their way to the States, are to day
wealthy. |
