The Kate Kinney left for Standing

The Bismarck TR1BUsE's Fort Buford
correspondent has the following to say
of steamboats,, Indians and Fresh pork
on the Upper Yellowstone:
FoRT BuroRD, D. T., July IA, 1871
Capt. Bueson again comes to the front
with the banper trip on the Yellow
stone this season, thus far. The Key
West left Fort Buford at 8 m july

ing here, having delivered her freight
at Tongue river and made the return
trip in that short time. After taking
on a cargo of lumber she left again for
the Yellowstone yesterday on 10 inst.
The Big Horn, Capt. Joe Todd, bound
for the Big Horn past entered the Yel-
lowstone about 2 p. M, July 10th. The
Josephene left here for Benton at $40

It requires no great amount of intel
ligence to discern that the lines of boats
are peculiarly adapted for the Yellow

my experience on the Upper Missouri
they have done much efficient service
for the government, and consequently
deserve credit therefor.
Nothing of interest has transpirsd
at Fort Peck. The hostiles seem at
present disposed to rest quietly ''over
that line'' and as yet evince no DISPOSE
ton to return it is possible that they
are aware of a large force being Eon- the
qnie' yiue for any demonstration they
make and hence their inertia.
Capt. Martin Coulson is here. looking
after freight interests-Capt. Coulson
seems to think that peace and plenty
here would not compensate him for the
great annoyance of our pets-the mos
quitoes.
Gen. Hazen leaves in few days for
