BuYina a Black Hills Bonanza.

Messrs. Hurst and Kellogg, Of San
Francisco, the capitalists who left here
for Deadwood on Wednesdays coach,
are the parties who recently purchased
a half interest in the gold mine known
as Homestake Nc. /, located near
Deadwood. These gentlemen are
among the heaviest mining operators
in the west, and have kept a reliable
agent in the Hills for months past with
the view of learning all they could
about the mines and making heavy in
vestments if his report was favorable.
This agent selected the mine mentioned
as being equal to the best and advised
its purchase. A contract was drawn
up and in accordance with its provisions
the gentlemen named came on at once,
equipped with the necessary greenbacks
for the purchase. They brought with
them the noted geologist and mining
expert, Henry Janin, and in company
with him will visit every mining dis
trict in the Hills and make an extern
sive examination of the wonderful
mineral deposits. The price paid for
the half interest is $4,000.

Brief Sketch q he military Career Of thi
Gallant indian Fighter.

Nelson A. Miles, who has of late
taken the place Of the lamented Custer
as an Indian fighter, and whose name
will go down to history as the conqueror
of Joseph and his brave band, is a
native of Massachusetts,, and has had a
remarkable career of advancement in
the army. He was born in n of the
upper towns of Worcester county, and
is yet a young man. The second year
of the Rebellion found him clerkingf in
a Boston crockery store. He had but
just attained manhood, and had no
military experience. 1t was proposed
to raise a company in the city of Rox-
bury, for the regiment then being
formed for the late Henry Wilson,
then United States Senator from the
Bay State. Miles had an uncle who
took considerable interest in its for
nation with the view of making his
nephew a first lieutenant. When the
officers came to be chosen he had some
votes for first lieutenant over another
member, who claimed a better right to
that distinction. The Captain sided
with the latter officer, and this made
so much bad feeling that Lieut.. Miles
left the company TO join the staff of
one of the Generals in the division.
His advancement was astonishingly
rapid from that time out, and he soon
had occasion to smile upon the petty
chickering's that put him in the way of
it. He was often in fights, and won
distinction constantly. At the battle
of Charlottesville this almost raw
youth was thrown into n position in
which he had command for some hours
of the most important position. lie
held it with rare credit, but came out
of the action seriously wounded. This
made him not only a General, but a
very distinguished soldier, and at
tracted to him the attention of the
regular army officers, who pronounced
him to be possessed of the best elements
I Of a military commander. Gen. Miles
had a reputation second to almost no
officer of the volunteer forces of the
state when the war closed. lie was
selected to take charge of Jefferson
Davis while the latter was the Govern
ment's prisoner, which brought Miles
into notice throughout the nation.
A few years ago he was married in
the west to II near relative of General
| Sherman. Fortune seems to favor
him in every respect. He is q man OF
fine physical frame and with an unu.
sual endowment of manly beauty, and
his exploits in the %northland prove him
as successful in fighting Indians rs in
all his other army experience.

Miserable Mofott.

The man who was arrested in Lara.
mic City last Tuesday night called
himself Brisco, and had been canvass,
ing the city teaching painting for sew
eral days. lie was placed in a cell in
which n former prisoner had commit
ted suicide, and while the jailor was
absent, cut his throat. Surgical assist
ance was Mt once sent for, and while
DIR. Dysart was sewing up the wound,
Brisco, who never lost his conscious
ness, admitted that his name was Mof-
felt. He asked if lie would die, and
when informed that he would not. he
prayed to be shot, as he did not want
to live. lie also stated that he did not
take the peoples money, but his depu-
ty was the guilty party, and if they had
not treated him cruelty in Colorado, he
would not have broken Jail.
The instrument with which he in

|\Dr. James Irwin win remain here
until the contract for supplying-trans-
portation for the removal Of the Sioux
advertised in this issue) is awarded,
which will be on Monday next. DR..
Irwin advised and urged the Depart
ment to hire instead of buying trans
p~ortation, but his advice was not heed
ed, and therefore there will be an en-
tirely unnecessary delay in removing
the Indians.
1t is not out of place to give in this
connection a few facts concerning the
good old Doctor, although We know
that his modesty will be shocked by our
commentator, He has been among
the Indians for seven years, and is just
ly proud of his achievement in COM
pletely civilizing the Shoshones and
teaching them how to work and sup
port themselves, SO that in a very short
time this tribe will need no assistance
from the government. They are locat-
ed in the fertile valleys Of Western
Wyoming where they can raise every
thing required for their ~sustenance,
and where their herds of cattle can
feed and fatten upon the richest grasses
in the world. For the past two sum-
mers their best warriors have been out
with the military, fighting Sioux, but
now that the cruel war is over they will
all settle down to peaceful pursuits.
They love DR.. Irwin, and would like to
have him remain with them always,
but Mr.. Patten, his successor, is a good
man, and they will get on equally well
under his care.
DIR. Irwin will remain with the Red
! Cloud Indians until they have made a
good start at their new location. He
will teach them how to farm, aid in es-
tablishing schools and churches among
them, and when he finds them to be
progressing toward c~ivilization-say
within q year or two-will resign his
position and seek some eligible location
within our borders where, unvexed by
the busy turmoil of city life he may
tend his herds and till the soil until
life's long and wearisome journey is
ended. Every frontiersman will join
with THE LEADER in wishing that
peace, plenty and happiness may scat
ter their blessings along the Doctors
pathway for many long years.

a singular letter has reached the

incendiary fire, and the kindness and
bravery of the u. 2. r. r. men in saw

house, she states, was first saturated
with coal oil and then ignited. None

it, but the night telegraph operator at

aside from the letter, the purport of
which is to return her thanks to her

0ofD n
VA private soldier Of Co. G, 10th In
fantry, who wa one of the detachment
which headed off Collins and Potts, the
train robbers, at Buffalo, Kansas, gives
the following details, not yet publish
ed:
Lieut.. Allen sent two men east to
patrol the railroad in the vicinity of
the station; he himself, n soldier, and
a citizen patrolled the road to the west;
the remainder of the detachment, under
charge of Corporal Eddy, were ordered
to remain at the station, and to keep a
sharp lookout for all suspicious charac-
tiers. About $50 a. m. two men,
mounted, one of whom was leading a
pack-horse, came to the station inquir-
ing for a place to water their horses,
buy provisions, etc. Eddy ~endeavored
to impress the thick-headed sheriff
Beardsley with the idea that these men
fully answered the description of two
of the gang, but his reply was, ooh,
them amt the men," Not being
pleased with the sheriff's judgment,
nor his mode of doing business, Eddy
determined, Notwithstanding the OBJ
j~ections of the limb of the law, to arrest
and search the strangers at all hazards.
He accordingly led his men up to the
unshrinking couple, who, upon being
ordered to surrender, coolly answered
by drawing a revolver in each hand, an
ARKANSAS t~ooth-pick'' in the other,
and quietly placing a small Derringer
behind each ear. But Eddy was equal
to the occasion. Before you could wink,
he had fired. and his foe lay a corpse at
his feet. Another soldier fired and the
second robber bit the dust. The firing
having ceased and the victory won, the
gallant and valorous sheriff was seen
in the dim distance madly urging his
steed with whip and spur, yelling a yell
worthy of sChief Joseph" exclaimin2
at the top of his voice, ''Shoot the so!
of a b-h; he's playin' possum on you.
You soldiers don't know them thar
kinder varmints as l does" Arriving
at the scene of conflict he dismounted
from his foaming charger and riddled
the body of the poor robber, who had
been lying dead on the ground for full
five minutes. They captured with the
robbers the following enumerated arti.
cles: Three horses, saddles and brides,
two revolvers, N leathern bag con-
tanning $3.50, gold, silver and currency,
two bags of gold weighing seventy-fouI
pounds, and ten t~wenty-dollar gold
pieces. The sheriff and his friends
