country, says the Deadwood Pioneer,
seems to have ceased entirely.

! The road agents have commenced their
depedations onthe Sidney route. Ii Is
to be hoped that these rascals can be
caught and punished 49,
During the last week IN June nine
quartz and saw mills were shipped from
Sidney TO Deadwood, and seven engines
and bciie.s were awaiting shipment.
The Oriel lode, on Sheeptail gulch,
owned by Mr.. Dan Harnett, according
to the assay made by the Black Hills
smelling works. yields $s7-33 to the ton.
The Champion thinks that farming at
the foot of the hills is next to gold min
ing. It is not uncommon to see 40 and
20 acres under cultivation. The wheat
harvest will be large. Forty bushels to
the acre is an average yield.
Deadwood bankers on Tuesday were
kept busy in the reception ofdust: The
placers and quartz mines pouring IN their
golden treasures in an almost uninterrup-
ted stream from the opening Iof their
doors till their closing. Not less than
$4,000 could have changed hands In the
days transactions, and possibly more.

The Pioneer Of Thurday says: We
were shown yesterday gold brick made
by Chambers c. DAVIS from the Wooley
lode. The Major can congratulate him-
self ON possessing one Of the richest mines
lin the Hills The fame of:the "woeley
has spread far and vide. Five tons. and
h. half fof this ore was crushed in the Da-
Wis mill last week, averaging $7e53 to
the ton. The ore was not assorted, but
taken without selection from the face Of
the cut and dump ,.,szs ~. ,s4t.s
: Inregard to the dreadfnl; work ef high
waymen on the Cheyenne route, the
Champion of Thursday renarrks: We
have what we consider liable authority
that the leaders Of the present gang 0f
.highwaymen, now doing such handsome
work in successfully robbing the sta8e,
are our old friends the James Brothers
who figured SO conspicuously in the
Northfield bank robbery last fall, In con-
nection with the Younger Brothers. We
have a little gratuitousi advice to give 10
those who are ambitious Of immortaliz-
ing themselves by trying to capture these
bold outlaws, which is that they had bet
ter hire out the Job to some parties to
whom earth has lost all charms.
Messrs Burch and Anthony are the
owners of claim No. g below discovery
on Deadwood, one OF the richest claims
in the guIch. Within the past 80 days
this claim has yielded over ten thousand
dollars. The biggest clean up was made
Iune 24th, and amounted to $6s3, this be-
ing the product of only one hours run-
The total amount cleaned up for lest
week was s., GOO. The owners Of this
claim have, until within the last few
days, employed 18 men, but on account
of scarcity Of water, have been obliged g
curtail their force. The, pay stresk .
from eighty to one hundred and sixty feet
wide. and has been worked out one han
its Width for distance of 100 feet Mr..
Burch estimates that It will take twp
years longer to work out this clam.
!; The Champion gives us the foilowi1g;
The Northwestern Stage s. Express cem-
pany, running between this city and H.s-
marck, have in contemplated the esta5.
lishment Of telegraph line along their
route. This would be a great desidera-
tum to the people, not only d the Black
Hills, but to those residing OUTSIDE. The
rates Of telegraphing are now 60 high
that it almost places an embargo on the
use of the telegraph for, anything except
matters of the gravest importance, With
another line running in here and connect
ing with the Northwestern Telegraph
Company's line at Bismarck, our people
would have cheap, expeditions and first
class connections with some certainty OF
their messages reaches their destination
quicker than by OK teams.
