CHICAGO papers of the I'd publish letter
from Lieut-Gen. Sheridan to the Military
Committee of the lower house of Congress,
recommending the immediate establishment
of two military posts on the far-off Yellow
stone, for the protection and development of
the gold regions of the Black Hills and farther
west He thinks the two military posts
could be established by the expendi-
ture of $4,000 lie says the Black
Hills country will probably be COW
cred with towns and villages during the next
five or six years. He expresses the belief
that the largest deposits of gold are further
west than where the miners are now working,
and adds: 1.-THE head-waters of Wind River
are gold-bearing; the Owl Creek Mountains
are gold-bearing; the Big Horn Valley is
gold bearing; Powder River is gold
bearing; also Clark's Fork of the
Yellowstone. Besides this, the Black
Hills have abundance of good timber
for the treeless country south of them and
west of the Missouri River. The success of
all these interests depends on the establish
mcnt of the two posts named. Military
operations have now been commenced against
the hostile bands of Sioux. by request of the
Interior Department., and l consider the ap-
preparation so necessary that especially re-
quest immediate action on it,"
