Behind the scared squaw's birch canoe
The steamer smokes and raves,
And city lots are staked for sale
Above old Indian graves.
I hear the tread Of pioneers
OF nations yet to be,

FORTY THOUSAND IN DUST,
direct from the Desdwood mines, ar.
rived in Bismarck on Thursday last
Twenty.one thousand by the. steamer
Yellowstone from Fort Pierre and the
remainder by Don Stevenson's train
which returned for supplies. OF this
Don Stevenson brought in over Five
Thousand Dollars Vim. McC Cory, part
ner of J. G. Dodge, whose death We
mentioned two weeks ago, -Four Thous-
and Five Hundred; ..B. Grsenley.s
Black River Falls, Wis, about three
Ed. Tuman, for n. P. Clarke
Co.. from Tom Winston, fifteen hundred
dollars; P. Anderson, of Dubuque, Iowa,
six hundred dollars, and many smaller
lots. The Key West which arrived
Saturday morning reports that the
steamer, Durfee carried below sixty
thousand dollars in dust from Ft. Pierre
making .....
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
shipped from the Black Hills within the
past two weeks.
Forty. two men and twenty-seven
teams came in with Stevenson. All
agree as to the richness of the
DEADwooD MINES,
and all brought more or less gold. They
report one firm working two gangs of
men of ten each, day and night. and
realize from eighteen hundred dollars
TWENTY EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS PER DAY,
occasionally striking pocket yielding
much more. Two men are spoken of
who, in one day, took out
FIFTEEN POUNDS OF GOLD,
$4,000. Many instances are reported
where men realize $3.50 per day to the
man. John Mcclellan says he saw one
man take out with pan Seventy DOL
lars IN one day. Ross, McClelland,
Capt. Jack, Dick Stone, and others who
were doing we'll on Rapid Creek have
abandoned their claims and gone to
Deadwood. John Leasure showed the
writer ninety cents, the prettiest gold
he ever gazed upon, taken from one pan
of Black Hills dirt. But prospects are
no longer interesting since results can
be given.
The mines on Deadwood and White.
wood, on Bear and other creeks in the
north part Of the Hills are being gener-
allv worked but there are many who
work only enough to obtain gold for
GRUB AND WHISKY :
waiting for some one to buy. Claims
are held at prices ranging from a few
hundred dollars to thousands, and many
are changing hands. As to the i
EXTENT OF TIE MINES
we refer to the letter of KS. Burke be-
low piyen.~ every word of which can be
relied upon. He estimates that the
north part of the Black Hills will employ
ten thousand men three years, while
richer mines still are certain to be dis
covered in the Big Horn region, while
none question the value Of the mines in
the southern portion of the Hills, though
It will take capital to open them. The
QUARTZ LEADS
also are exceedingly promising. The
best of these are also in the northern
part of the Hills. The
INDIAN QUESTION
does not bother the miners in the least
Don stevenson's party did not see an
