s-Our Information upon the subject OF
the existence OF gold and silve. 10 the
Black Hills is Of such positive nature q
to admit OF no contradiction. Newspaper
reports are not exaggerated. Tho placer
digsipgs hsve received more attention than
the quartz lodes, ..for the reason that the
former have been better developed than the
latter, but il Is our opinion that tho Yield
Of quartz gold in the Black Hills will sur.
rass that Of any known mining region.
Placer gold exists In all the stream valleys
and sulches, and even updlo the hlll-tops-
as Custer reported, from the grass roota
