MINING ITEMS.
Most of the claims on Deadwood and
Whitewood gulch are being worked day
and night.
Some of the silver quartz from Bat
tie creek is very light colored and gives
the appearance of more silver than
quartz.
The attention of the miners general
ly, is turned to the quartz mines, as the
water during the past few weeks has
been scarce.
On Battle creek the prospectors build
bon-fres to prospect by, they are SC
eager to discover the extension to the
big bonanza.
They are doing well in the Harvey
district near Hayward, on their placer
claims, and report ome in that they
are getting out good pay.
The;silver district on Battle creek has
been 'staked off for miles since the new
discoveries, and it is supposed to be the
richest discovery in the hills.

sHER1DAN's RIDE.
Incidents Attending His Recent Noun
tain Trip-The Squaw That Scalded
the Buck-A Hoof of Clusters
Horse.

A staff officer who accompanied
Gems. Sheridan and Crook on their late
trip through the Rocky mountains says
that nearly all the streams which they
forded were much swollegduring the
day. This may require Explanation.
Much Of the time the sun fairly blazed
from the meridian, and, as the snow
melted rapidly OH the upper ranges, the
w-ater-courses would be booming full
by 4 or 5 O'Clock in the afternoon.
| With the descent Of the sun the waters
would begin to fall, and by daylight
next morning the streams would be
quite low.
A packer named Delaney, who has
achieved some celebrity by his fine
workmanship, asked permission to go
in pursuit of some mountain sheep.
He was told that he could go provided
he brought back a set of horns. He
was gone just one hour, and returned
with two monster mountain sheep and
the fresh skin of a mountain lion. The
horns of the former were presented to
Gen.. Sheridan and Gen. Sackett, and
the;skin was turned over to the Sioux
guides. Delaney shot the lion through
the heart at a distance of eighty yards
from where he stood.
The party camped over night at the
base of two splendid peaks that stand
side by side on the Big Horn range. AS
the pair had never been christened, it
was deemed the proper thing to name
them the Twins, as a compliment to
Gen. Sheridan's pair-Irene and Louise.
The peaks rise to an altitude of nearly
fourteen thousand feet above sea level.
There was one squaw who accom-
panied the Indian guides. Every even
ing at n certain hour they all stripped
to the skin and splashed into some
stream, the squaw swimming, diving
and playing with her lordly compan-
ions. On n occasion she refrained
from going into the stream, and, as
one young buck swan to the shore and
was mounting the bank, she poured a
pailful of nearlyboiling hot water upon
his head and shoulders, causing him to
utter n piercing yell and tumble back
into the cool river, heels over head.
She did it out of pure cussedness.
Charley" Gen. Sheridan's colored
body servant, brought home a hoof of
the horse which Gen. Custer rode in
the battle on the Little Horn. How
does he know the. hoof belonged to
Custer's steed? Two of the Sioux
guides with the Sheridan party were in
the fight, and they pointed out the
skeletons of the horses ridden by the
General and his officers. Charley says
he is satisfied that he has the right
hoof.

cemetery the Episcopal services were
read and a salute of three volleys fired
over each grave. ~

concentrated ell their influence and
power to break down the new Admins
tration In its work OF peace and concili-
tion. and the President was forced TO
measure his uncertain and untried
strength with this tremendous combi-
nation, or move slowly, cautiously and
with diplomacy. In simply announc-
ing his Southern policy he arrayed
against his Administration the strongest
men In his party, with what popular
backing he knew not, while the support
of the Democrats, or OF any CONSIDER
able number of them, was uncertain,
unorga nized and hesitating, Wisdom
and prudence prompted the President
to halt, that he might ascertain
and measure the opposition he had
to fight in his own party and
the support he could depend upon
In the ranks of the Democracy.
IL was hard on Louisiana and South
Carolina; but, speaking candidly and
hon estly, we do not see how the Presi-
dent could have wisely acted different
Iy. He created the Commission to visit
Louisiana, and he invited Hampton and
chamberlain to Washington. Nobly
has he kept his pledges to release
South Carolina; and We now once
more express the firm conviction
that he will deal In good faith with
Louisiana, and ask no price OF US for
discharging his high and almost holy
duty. The instructions Of Mr.. Evarts
we regard as justifying our confidence.
No price Is asked for the justice which
is to be done us. Why then should we
contemplate paying one and discuss the
policy OF debasing ourselves?
