Terry's Buffalo Hunt.


On August 9th Gen. Terry crossed
the Yellowstone and marched north
ward. On the morning of the 2Sth i'm
mense herds of buffalo were seen graz
ing on the slopes of the hills, and the
Indian scouts, unable to contain them
selves, Immediately organized a sur
round and charged the buffalo, killing
some thirty of them. On the morning
of the Doth the column marched toward
the north, then turned east and finally
southeast, making some seventeen and
a half miles. So far very little indica-
ton of the presence Of Indians had been
found, but it was hoped that on account
of the presence of the buffalo the column
was about to fall in with the Indians.
About midday the column met the
buffalo herd, and a grand battue was
Immediately organized by the Indians
and hunting parties from the column.
Some fifty buffalo were killed, and
the troops for the first time during the
campaign were supplied with an album
dance of fresh meat.

Other things not so much asked for
bring still higher prices.
Mining interests are looking up. Ar
astras in II or two instances have been
put up for the purpose of proving the
working value of ores, and so far the
results have been very lattering. We
understand that there are two stamp
mills on the way here, and that they
will be set up and commence crushing
as soon as possible. Our galena pros
poets from Bear Butte creek are good.
Very little work has as yet been done.
Assays have been had ranging up to 100
ounces and some gold. There is no
doubt in the minds of practical mining
men, as to the future richness of this
country in vein mining.
The Indian question is getting to be
rather interesting. They are lowering
around us closely and killing any one
who happens to be out alone. They
have been seen a short distance below
here on the bluffs taking items with field
glasses. What it may mean of course
is simply conjecture. Yet it is probable
that they are the videttes of Sitting Bull,
and are accommodating with a view of
making an attack if favorabiy repo rted
upon.
Much has been said of policies to be
pursued, but many cool thinking men
are of the opinion that the only success
full is a war of determination. We
do not argue that it must be carried out
to the bitter end; but let them under
stand that it will be prosecuted until
they lay down their arms, give up their
horses and allow ITEMS I've to be moved
off to the Indian Territory or elsewhere,
where they can be fed and put to work.
If such a policy be pursued the Indian
question will be settled and the country
opened up to settlement.

~ sensational report comes from Fort
Sully,to the effect that the horses stolen
from the peaceable Indians at the Chey-
enne Agency by the Black Hills miners
were sent for by Major Lazelle, COM
manding Fort Sully, Capt. Tisdale going
cut with ~tlirty-fye men and an Indian
guide. Only four horses were recovered
out of s~ixty-three. The miners sent
the officer word that there was still due
from the Indians on account, $40, which
they would call for by and by. The
troops had the greatest difficulty in pro-
tecting the guide from the vengeance of
the miners.

BLACK HILLS BREEzEs.


tDeadwood Pioneer, Sept. 2.
The owners of claim No. 2, on Dead
wood, cleaned up 200 ounces on Mon
day last. The claim was sold on
Thursday last for $1,000.
Thos. Carr and Morris Team were
buried in a drain ditch this forenoon,
and at last accounts were not dug out.
From Pioneer OF Aug. 2sth.l
A report comes to us that the bones
of a man, who had been chained to a
log, in False Bottom, and burned by
Indians, were found a day or two since.
w. ]. Colburn, Of Chicago, practical
miner and assayer, has arrived and pro-
poses to locate at Gayville. He brings
with him q miniature smelling appara-
tus, capable of treating one ton of ore
in twelve hours, and will thoroughly
test many Of the leads in this section of
country.
J. w. Matkin has recently purchased
from Mr.. Jones claim No. 5, on north
fork of Gold Run, for which he paid
SO, ZOO. This is one of the best claims
in the gulch.
Claim No. II, on the Pierce lode,
owned by John Pierce, David Snider
and Jasper King, has recently been
tested by the arastra process, and yield
ed 500 per ton. This lead is situated
on the south fork of Gold Run, on the
lower ridge; has a four-foot vein, with
one well defined w~all-rock, and the in
dications are growing favorable for the
second.
CHIEF OF THE HILLs.-This lead,
owned by Messrs. Gardner, French,
Chase & Co., has recently been treated
by the arastra process, and although
from % to 80 per cent. of the gold was
not saved, from the fact of its being
covered with rust, still, two ounces
was the result obtained from mi ton Of
ore, and the owners are well satisfied.
Green peas and string beans r
being raised in the immediate vicinity
of Deadwood. The pods are well filed
but not so large as we have seen pro-
duced in many localities of the West.
Reports from all sections regarding
our placer mines are growing more
fattering daily, the only drawback at
present being the scarcity of water.
Latest reports from Spring, Castle and
Rapid creeks are unusually fattering.
Many parties who stampeded to this
section several months ago have re-
turned to their old claims, and have
them in good working order with every
prospect of getting the precious metal
in paying quantities. Potato and Bear
gulches are representing themselves in
a creditable manner, as the quality and
quantity Of gold taken out indicates.

John Bull is seriously considering the
matter of interfering in the Turco-Ser-
Wan war, and if he does there will be
music, but Stephen Bon says that he
don't believe in running his nose into
other Peoples business. He attends
strictly TO his own affairs and has thus
built up the largest boot and shoe trade
in Wyoming. He carries an immense
stock and sells at very low prices.

The Hostiles Ammunition.

The returned hostiles report that they
get ammunition from a place near the
Spotted Tail Agency, on the White
River, and that they have abundance of
arms and ammunition enough for a
great battle, but do not want to fight
both Crook and Terry combined, not
doubling a victory, but through reluc-
lance to losing many warriors. There
are $500 warriors in the field, and those
who leave areanore than replaced by the
acquisitions.
Sitting Bull and his chiefs do not
want peace, and will fight it out on that
line if it takes them all winter.

The Situation at Standing Rock Agency.
. Adviees from Standing Rock Agency
to Sept. 9Th are as follows:
In view of the fact that the late
Agent, Burke, was known TO have had
elandestine councils with Kill Eagle,
who WA with Sitting Bull in the Gus
ter massacre, and is a great faYorite of
the latter, in which councils Burke
promised Kill Eagle protection from the
military so far as it lay in his power,
and the further fact that a large portion
of the last beef issued is believed to
have gone direct to the hostiles, the
agent having issued ON a basis of H.
000 Indians, when it is known that
there are less than 200 at the agen-
cy, the commanding officer, General
Carlin, suspected the functions of the
agent and directed Captain johnson, of
the First Infantry, to assume charge of
the agency and the government proper
ty thereat.
Lieutenant Roach, of the 18th Infan-
try and Surgeon ALLEN have been de-
tailed to make a complete census of the
Indians in and about the agency. On
assuming charge Captain johnson had
eouneh with the chiefs n leading
men, in all numbering about 100. The
