Camp Brown, Wyoming.

Camp Brown is situated on the east
bank of the Little Wind River Valley,
and one of the prettiest and richest val
leys in Wyoming Territory. This val
ley is nine miles in length, and from
four to five miles in width. and COM
poses the Shoshone Indian reservation.
The agency is located the upper
end of the valley, while the fort is ear
er the center, while near the lower end
are the hot sulphur springs, which are
considered far superior to the Arkansas
hot springs. The springs boil up in
the center of a basin or lake of some
sixty rods in circumference. A bath
house has been put up for the use of
those who wish, and is used every day.
A large number of persons have availed
themselves of the opportunity of bath
ing in these springs, and have been per-
manently cured of various diseases that
had been given up by some of the most
eminent, physicians, and, with the aid
of the springs, DR.. MCGEE, post surgeon,
has made several wonderful cures of
rheumatism. The water is very warm,
SO much so that one unaccustomed to it
can hardly venture into it. There are
hundreds of people suffering from
chronic diseases who could be entirely
cured by spending a month or two at
these springs.
The garrison at this post now consists
of two companies-one cavalry com
pany under Captain Mix, who is COM
mander of the post, and n company
of infantry under Captain Quinn, both
officers who have seen a great deal of
active service in Indian fighting.
THE CLIMATE,
Of this valley is most delightful both in
winter and summer. During the winter
but very little snow falls and it general
ly remains but a few hours. The high
mountains surrounding keep the storms
from coming into the valley, and often
present a beautiful sight, as while the
sun is shining brightly in the winter
months, and the ladies are out playing
croquet, not more than 20 miles up in
the mountains a fearful storm is raging,
with the snow from II to Is feet deep.
Cattle need no shelter but can feed all
winter, making it one of the best stock
raising countries in the whole Territory,
and it is also a fine agricultural country,
as nearly all kinds of vegetables and
grain grow luxuriantly. 1 was shown
the garden at the post where were[tur-
nips, beets, potatoes, squashes, ,cucum-
bers and tomatoes, all doing nicely.
Washable, the chief of the Shoshones
has taken two hundred of his best men
and gone to fight the Sioux, leaving
none on the agency but the old men,
women, boys and..children. The whole
tribe now numbers about one thousand,
leaving about eight hundred at the
agency. They have a number of cattle
and altogether over six hundred ponies.

Slack blows a weak note or two ON
his young Ferguson street organ about
circulation. We admit that his sheet
has the largest circulation among the
~laundries. All the laundry establish
ments of the city use his paper to
wrap up. clean clothes in, and in this
way it is acquiring a large circulation,
while Slack has a thousand or more
not very old copies piled up in his Office
at all times, and is willing and ever
anxious to increase his circulation by
disposing of them at So or rs cents per
100. The circulation of The LEADER
is double that of any other paper in the
Territory, while the combined editions
of the Daily and Weekly LEADER are
much larger in number than those OF
all the other papers of Wyoming COM
bined. These statements are easily
substantiated and we do not care to
wound Slack's feelings by further refer
ence to the question of circulation.

A correction which simple justice
requires to he made is in regard to the
scalping and quartering of an Indian
by Dave Campbell, the pilot of the
steamer Far West, and a party from
that steamer, that left the boat to at
tack some Indian marauders that were
found at a point above Fort Buford,
where a supply of forage was stored.
The telegraphic account of that affair
is mainly correct, but there was no
sealping or mutilation of any Indians.

IRON the chicago Ilmes.l
1t would seem as if Wyoming terri
tory was about to prove itself one of
the most promising gold-bearing regions
belonging to the United States. The
more her hills are examined, and the
mort labor there is expended upon her
mountain sides, the better seems the
prospect and the greater faith her
friends have in her. That she will at
no very distant day be a respectable
member Of the union of States there
can be no doubt, and her mineral wealth
will make her a powerful and wealthy
one Her grazing grounds are almost
boundless in extent, her hills are scanned
with great deposits of metal, and her
climate is as in~vigorating as can be
found in the whole length and breadth
of our land. Pure water courses burst
from the mountain sides and meander
along the plains seeking their way
through the Platte to the Missouri and
the Gulf of Mexico, and through the
Green river and the Colorado to the
Gulf of California, an armo of the bound
less and gentle Pacific ocean,. She
grasps in her streams the far south and
west, and has within her the elements
of great success. The head waters of
Lewis fork Of the Columbia river, are
also upon her western border, in the
magnificent Wind river chain of noun
tains.
