rhe spearash valley. Hlaek Hills.


AL who have visited the Spearfish
Valley, in the Black Hills, agree that
it is one of the most beautiful and fer
tile of mountain valleys. 1t now con
tains a farming population of about $50
people, boasts a thriving little village,
known as spearfish City. 1t is princi-
pally settled by old Montana ranchmen,
who prefer tilling the soil to delving for
gold; and the fact that they have OPEN
ed farms there, coming from the mi
ming districts of Montana, is as conclu-
sive evidence of the richness of the
mines as if they were working in the
gulches. The area of valley suscept-
tible Of cultivation jSsuficient for 500
farms of 100 acres each. The crops,
when last heard from, were doing well,
though threatened by an invasion Of
grasshoppers. It has been suggested
that the Spearish should be called
Fountain Valley, as it is dotted all over
with copiously flowing crystal springs.

Poor Economy.

A few days since a large freighting
ontft bought a lot of Joslin guns, be-
cause they We're cheap, and armed
their train men with them. Above Fort
Laramie the Indians held the men off
with l%ong-range rifles and gobbled their
stock. The cheap purchase proved a
very dear one indeed, Many men have
lost their lives this summer by the
pennywise purchase of cheap guns.
Freund Bros. have modern long.
range rifles which they can sell at IF
teen to eighteen or twenty dollars. They
are reliable and cheap.

The soldiers stationed at the mouth
of Red Canon have made their situation
as pleasant as possible by hauling ever
greens down from the mountains, and
setting them out in close ranks around
their tents. Though they have an
abundance of cold, pure spring water at
hand, there is no natural shade there,
the location being on the brow of a low,
timberless elevation.

!. RAwLINs, Aug. 5.
Shortly before eight O'Clock this eve
ming, q barber named Thomas Owen,
who resides here, and who had been
~quarreling all day with a man named
Devlin, was shot by the latter.
The ball entered the right temple and
it was at first thought the wound would
prove fatal. A physician was summon
ed and after a careful examination pro-
nounced the wound not dangerous, the
ball having ranged backward outside Of
the skull-bone. Owen is now easy and
improving.
Devlin has been arrested and lodged
in jail.

The promise now it that the extensive
mica deposits of the Black Hills-com.
monty but enormously termed ising-
glass-win soon be utilized. The de
mand for the manufacturing arts has
heretofore been mainly supplied from
mica mines in Connecticut, but it is
said the mica mines Of New England
are becoming exhausted, while the de-
mand is steadily increasing. The own
ers of the Hills deposits have received
such encouragement from certain par
ties east as to lead them to push ahead
the work of development with great
energy.

via Fort Fetterman.

I'VE hope Delegate Steele will use his
best influence toward having the pub
lie surveys extended from the Fort
Laramie military reservation toward
the Black Hills. 1t is necessary that
this should be done as soon as possible,
as many ranch locations will be made
as soon as the Indians are whipped into
submission-a contamination we may
reasonably hope to be not far off.

A slock-srssling Raid Through the
Valley Of me chug-cspture Of :
stsge-coaeh.

Several bands Of marauding red devils
are operating between the Chugwater
and Forts Laramie and Fetterman.
Only a few days g we chronicled in
these columns the account of an attack
on Reels train, near Fort Fetterman,
in which brave George Throstle lost his
life and a large quantity OF ovenment

ed this morning to. add to the already
BY far too long list of Indian outrages
on this frontier.
TRAIN ATrAokEDsstsss -
Baker and Davis, who were returning
with their freight train from "Trip TO
the Hills, were attacked by = band of
Indians while in camp neal Owens
ranch, sixty-four miles north of this
city, on Friday forenoon, and lost ten
head of horses.
A RANCH RAyAGED.
On Friday night a strong party Of In
dams attacked the ranches of John
Owen, and Darlington, located on the
stage road near the headwaters Of the
Chug, and at about the same distance
from this city. The dusky demons sue
ceeded in running off the stock at both
ranches. Darlington fought them for
several hours, but they proved too strong
for his party, and retired from the field
in good order with their stealings. No
oac,olt;oe - kbo u-hsfao ,~o nc xof -
ported to have occurred in these fights.
PURSUING PARTIES.
Hon. IL. Kelley left here last night
for his ranch, which is neal OwenS,
taking with him men, arms and ammiA
milton, and will undoubtedly organize
a party to pursue and punish the thieves
when he reaches home.
Sergeant Chas. Dahlgren, of the
Second Cavalry, with a detachment of
eight men and a party of herders en-
ployed at SWANS ranch, left the Chug
Friday for the Sabille valley, it being
reported by a ranchman that a large
party of Indians are in the vicinity of
SWANS ranch, on that stream.
A sTAGE-coACH CAPTURED.
The Indians attacked a coach of the
Cheyenne & Black Hills stage line on
Indian creek on Tuesday, Aug. End.
The stage was in charge of a driver
named Cameron, and had on board
four passengers.
The party made a desperate fight but
were compelled to abandon the coach
and four horses. The Indians wounded
one of the party and took the horses.
They also cut up'the harness, the coach
top and the mail sacks. The driver
and passengers have arrived safely at
Fort Laramie.
ALARM AMONG RANcHMEN.
Adyices from Maxwell's ranch, re-
ceived Mt a late hour last evening, are
that great excitement and alarm is felt
by the ranchmen on all the streams
from Horse creek north.
