tho little brute to terms ana again sailed into the
midst OF the exciting contest lilo had unworthy

cecnt rider, Is extremely cool In tho most
trying situations. He strikes without effect,
and he follows up his advantage with remarkable
celebrity. Out OF three games yesterday he two.

"We are not to be dictated to by
The LEADER" said one member Of
the City Council to another yester-
day. Just what this Councilman
meant by this remark is not appar-
emit. THE LEADER has never at
tempted to dictate to the Council,
and probably never will. We have
frequently. made suggestions to the
Council concerning matters affecting
the public welfare, and we propose to
continue this u so long as The
LEADER is published. Whenever
the Council is guilty of dereliction Of
duty we propose to say SO, no matter
who our remarks hit-friend or foe.
THE LEADER is the official paper OF
the city, but hal does not make it
the special organ of the City Coun-
Gil, nor are we compelled to defend
the acts of that body, or to uphold it
in wrong-doing. We renew u oft
repeated suggestions concerning. the
urgent necessity of a speedy number
ing of every business house and
dwelling in the city the placing Of
names of streets in a conspicuous po-
sition on every corner !; and the pro-
viding of drinking cups at the vari-
GUS public pumps and wells. We
hope that the Council will also adopt
aggressive measures towards people
who allow their alleys and yards to
remain in a filthy condition. Will
you-do these things, gentlemen?

We have been permitted to make
the subjoined extracts from a letter
written BY J, 4. Castor, a veteran
Montana miner, who has worked in
all the leading mining camps on the
Pacific slope and in Montana, and is
Youehed for by our toBnsman, Col.
Murrin, as a thoroughly reliable and
straightforward man. The letter is
dated at Custer City, May 18th, and
addressed to Geo. Higgins, Salt
Lake:
"The water in this gulch has
played out, and not much mining is
being done now, but the mines up
north, on Deadwood, Whitewood and
Spearfsh creeks are the best, l be-
lieve, in America. Claims that are
opened are now yielding from $500
to 81, 500 daily, and all the oldMon-
tana miners say they are the richest
mines IN the worid.
During the past week | have seen
at least half a million dollars IN gold
dust. One man has taken out in
Deadwood since you left over forty
thousand dollars.
l honestly believe that there will
be at least eight million dollars taken
ont of these Hills this summer.
We hear that Crook will pass
through here shortly and clean the
redskins out of the Hills. If he does
there will be lively times here, as
thousands will go out to prospect
who are afraid to do 50 now.
Taken as a whole | believe this is
the best and richest mining region
In America, and all the miners want
is to have the Indian question finally
settled. They will develop its wealth
fast enough after that is done"

A WET PAIR.-Charlie Diefen-
dorf and Alderman Fisk went out to
Lake Minnehaha, otherwise known
as Mud Lake, Wednesday, and
climbing into a boat started for a
sail. Reaching the center of the
placid lake, the two gentlemen, whose
knowledge of workmanship is quite
limited, got into n end of the ves-
sci at the same time, causing it to
upset. A moment later two disa-
greeably damp mortals were clawing
the sides of the boat in an earnest
endeasor to prevent themselves from
occupying a watery grave. Their
strenuous efforts we're finally success
full and they padded ashore, firmly
resolved to employ an experienced
boatman whenever they take a sim
liar ride, and to sit still during its
progress. p

Among the arrivals on the 18th at
Bismarck from Fort Benton were
several army officers. They report
that late advices from Gibbon' S COM
mand, in the Powder River region,
say the country is so overrun by In
dams that it was deemed dangerous,
if not useless, to dispatch couriers.
Gen. Gibbon doubts if he shall be
able to communicate again until after
his arrival at his base of supplies on
the Yellowstone, toward which place
he was rapidly pushing. So it seems
that Gen. Gibbon is in a country
where the Indians report a severe
battle to have occurred, and it is
probable that one has taken place,
and with the result as stated, that
many were killed on both sides.
