towns and villages, and that railroad
connections between it and the States
will be established. lie asserts that the
collaborating regions are at the head wa
tiers Of Wind river; on the Owl creek
mountains, on Powder river and Clark :
fork Of the Yellowstone that the Black
Hills have abundance OF good timber for
the treeless country south of them, and
that the success Of all their interest. de-
ponds on the establishment of the two
ports named. Gen. Sheridan estimates
the cost Of the construction of these two
military posts ut one hundred thousand
dollars apiece.
