GLORY TO GOD.


kaDOrS-
The following dispatch was received
yesterday morning from Washington:
"Hon. d. Mclaughlin:
The President signed the bill ratify-
ing the Sioux treaty to-day. Country
open. w. R. STEELE"
This is most welcome news. The re-
gion of country known as the ''unceded
Indian territory will now soon be filled
with an enterprising and industrious
people, and the Big Horn country will
now haveto
YIELD UP ITS WEALTH
to the p%rospector and miner. The beau
full and fertile valleys of that region will
soon become homes for those noble
pioneers who by thrift and courage are
always in the van of civilization; and
who seek to reclaim the frontier from
the grasp of barbarism and savage dom
nation, and make of it abodes of peace
and plenty for those who may follow in
their venturesome footsteps.
1t has long been known that the
mineral, agricultural and pastoral re-
sources of this region, to say nothing
about its vast coal beds, are very great,
and will be likely to astonish the country
before many months. Rich as are the
Black Hills in placer diggings and
quartz veins, a few months will demon
strate that the Big Horn Mountains
are richer and its mines more extensive.
ITS CLIMATE Is ATTRACTIVE,
it's scenery grand and imposing. 1t has
been the home and the chosen haunt of
hostile Indians, and abounds in game;
while its waters are filed with delicious
fish.
The vast coal fields and iron beds
known to exist will in a short time,
make many manufacturing communi-
ties there. A new era has dawned upon
Wyoming Territory in this Centennial
year. Our citizens have patiently await
ed for this, and the great prosperity in
store for Wyoming may be considered
as dating from this time. The future
necessities of trade and travel will soon
require
RAILROAD COMMUNICATION
between Cheyenne and the northwest
ern portion of our Territory. The
EXTENSIVE SILVER MINES
of Clark's Fork-now comparatively
worthless to the owners for the want of
reasonable transportation of the ores to
where they can be properly and profit
ably reduced; the attractions of the
| National Park with its varied and Won
derful natural curiosities; the hand
some valleys and valuable grazing ran
ges between the Big Horn river and
the National Park, as well as the entire
region east Of that river in Wyoming
will soon demand railroad communica-
ton with this place.
COL. sTEELE's LABoRs.
Although differing politically with
Col. Steele, we, in common with nearly
all citizens of the territory recognize his
diligence and usefulness to Wyoming,
as its representative at Washington, in
working necessarily and successfully
for its interests. 1t is fitting, therefore,
to say that we know that during the
four years of his service, the opening of
Northern Wyoming has been his great
aim. To this end he has labored with
the President, heads of the proper de-
partments, general of the army, and
members of both houses of Congress
always meeting with encouragement
and his efforts terminating in success.
His labors as Delegate-which close
with this week-are crowned with sue
cess in this last achievement, and he
may well be satisfied with the result.
The Denver News and Denver DEM
ocrat agree On n subject, that is in
condemnation Of the Cheyenne LEADER
for making the statement that the Col
orado Legislature came to that town
drunk. The Democrat wants it under
stood that Democrats do not get drunk;
while the News thinks the editor of the
LEADER a traitor because he is the
Postmaster of Cheyenne, and owes his
Office to the Republican party. That's
the way it is. [Greeley Tribune.
