The ORIGINAL BLACK KILLERS.
Some Account Of Who They Were and
Where They Were From.

In the early spring of 1852, Bentley
B. Benedict, then "a years of age, was
a resident of Morrow county, Ohio, and
then it was that he joined an expedition
bound for California, overland, COM
posed of three hundred men. Even at
that early time it was reported that
there were rich gold mines in the Black
Hills. At Fort Laramie a party of
thirty detached themselves from the
expedition to prospect that region, it
being arranged that they should come
on and overtake the main party at the
Humboldt river. When the expedition
arrived at the Humboldt, eight of the
party of thirty came into camp report
ing that the other twenty-five had re-
manned behind in the Black Hills, and
that they had found rich gold mines
there. Their reports in regard to the
richness of the discoveries were very
exciting, and a number wanted to re-
turn with them. But the Indians were
very dangerous at that time, and a
sense of security forced them all to go
on through to California together.
None of the twenty-five who remained
behind were ever heard Of afterward.
Mr.. Benedict remembers but few
composing the expedition, with their
former places of residence; but a sufii-
Gent number have been retained in his
memory to enable the Investigator to
get further important facts, and it is
hoped the local press of the points des-
ignated will add to the facts above CIV
en-. A man by the name of Douglas, of
st. Joe valley, Michigan, was elected
leader of the expedition, he having be-
fore made the trip across the plains;
and among them were Josephus Nc
Leade, of Delaware county, Ohio; Thos.
Turney, Mt. Gilead, Ohio; Brown, st.
Joseph county, Mich; Jonathan In
gals, same place, and Leonard Cross
and "Dock' Cross, some part of Mich
igan. There are good reasons for be-
lieving the party of twenty-five were
all butchered near where Deadwood
now stands, for here were found the
grindstone, old sluice boxes, etc., and
when Jenney was prospecting on Rapid
creek an Indian told him to go further
north to find gold-pointing in the di-
rection of Deadwood gulch.
We believe the whole truth of the
bloody history will yet be unravelled.
Let the facts obtained be taken in con-
nection with what may be coaxed out
of some of the old agency Indians, and
we think the mystery will be solved.

The Cherokee Springs at RawIins.

Cherokee Springs gush from the foot
of Cherokee Peak, a moderately high
mountain, three miles west of Rawlins.
The railroad men walled in a huge els
tern there and conduct the water in
iron pipes to supply their needs at the
station. The whole town might be in
cluded in the benefit, apparently, so far
as the abundance of water is concerned.
Through there passes an old trail,
known as ''the Cherokee trail" along
which, it is related, the Cherokee
Indian nation passed about thirty years
ago in search of a new country. They
went as far West as Green River, but
were not satisfied with the appearance
of the land, and returned to settle in
the Indian Territory. They camped
for some time at these copious springs,
and left their musical name as a monu-
ment of their visit. 1t is good circum-
stantial evidence.

A Good Endorsement.

Some two weeks since, says the Den
yer Times, Gen. Case wrote a letter to
the President, endorsing Col. A. G.
Boone as a good man for Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, suggesting the pro-
priety of instituting the policy Or prac-
tice of appointing to the head of the
Indian Bureau a western man thorough
ly acquainted with Indian character,
and the needs and rights of frontier
white settlers. He enclosed it in a let
ter to Chief Justice Waite, asking him
to endorse upon the letter to the Presi-
dent that he (Waite) was acquainted
with the writer, and that his sugges-
lions al a frontiersman were entitled to
consideration. Last Sunday Gen. Case
received the following note from Chief
Justice Waite:
LYME, Conn.,, July II, 1877.
Yours of the 9th reached me here
this morning, and 1 have taken pleasure
in forwarding your communication to
the President, with an endorsement in
accordance with your wishes.
Sincerely yours,
F.. NJ. CASE, Esq. NJ. R. WAITE.

to the seat of the Idaho Indian war to
reinforce Gen. Howard. They fill nine
coaches and have four baggage cars,
while two Pullman sleepers are at

lies.
A similar train has been provided by
the Union Pacific, and upon their

SILVER SEAMS.


Especial Correspondence OF The Leader.l
HAYWARD CITY, .. T.. July Is.
There is a great excitement here over
some recent discoveries in quartz. A
Mr.. Schurcliff, living at Harvey City,
three miles above here, has discovered
a silver lead on Battle creek neal the
mouth of Grizzly gulch, ore from which
wa assayed in Deadwood by Prof. C..
G. Davis, and showed SO, 129. SO per ton
in metallic silver.
Ten pounds Of the same rock was
sent to Chicago by express, and assayed
S10,141.29.
The ledge has been traced some four
miles, and every foot staked. The rock
that vas assayed is white quartz, and
was taken out of a chimney, or blow
out, on the lead. The float is all white
quartz. The rock on top is a blue
quartz, and very hard, and shows ma
tive silver in nearly every piece. 1t
was pronounced at Deadwood and
Chicago to be the richest lead yet dis
covered.
The extensions have been taken by
Capt. Wing, Theo. Vos Burgh, D.. N.
Ely, Chas. Hayward, Fred J Cross,
Philips & Brown, and others. Like
Mark Twain, we are all millionaires
for the present.
The Sitting Bull lead, at Hayward, is
proving itself to be a rich one. Gold can
be found in nearly every piece of ore
that is pounded up. Iprophesy that in a
year from now, Hayward and Harvey
will take the lead in the quartz districts
of the Hills. d. N. E.

SIDNEY ROUTE ROAD AGENTS,
Another Coach Stopped, This Time o.
Battle Greek, and the Passengers
Robbed.

The stage which left here Thursday
morning July 18th was stopped three
miles beyond Battle creek, about sew
enty-fiye miles from here, by four
masked highwaymen. Mcclellan was
the driver and three passengers were
on board, n Of whom, Mr.. Liston,
took passage at Deadwood, the others
being picked up between here and
Rapid City. When going down a steep
embapkment at Battle creek,a mounted
htghwayman sprang up from his am
buscade and covering the driver with
his rifle commanded him to stop. The
driver had no alternative, and stopped
his team. The three companions of the
leader of the gang, at an understood
signal, rode up and dismounted, when
the passengers were ordered out of the
stage, and while two of the toll gather
ers stood guard, the other two made a
thorough search of the persons of the
party, getting three gold watches, sew
eral rings and other articles Of jewelry.
They then took out all the baggage,
part of which they opened and ran
sacked, and a great portion they car
ried off. They took the treasure box,
packed it on their animals and carried
it away. Among the goods carried off
was an entire dentists outfit belonging
to one of the passengers, the robbers
remarking, that after they got through
their present business, they might want
to start one of their companions in the
tooth-pulling business in Omaha. They
regretted that the people of the Hills
didn't send out more dust and bullion
on the stages than had been shipped
latterly. They remarked that they were
| going to change their tactics very soon;
they knew of other modes besides the
express company's treasure box by
which gold dust was carried to the
states, and that they would capture it,
that they were determined to levy a
tribute on the dust going out of the
Hills. and that there was no force that
could be organized that could capture
them. They appeared perfectly cool
and went about their work as l~eisurely
as if they were engaged in a perfectly
legitimate business transaction. Dead

Fire at Camp Carlin.

About 8 O'Clock last evening a fire
broke out in the southeast section of
stables at Camp Carlin. Fortunately,
there was little or no wind at the time,
and the fire was confined to that Sec
ton, which was entirely consumed, in
volving a loss of nearly 81, 200. When
the fire began there were some twenty
horses in the stables, but all we're got
ten out. The Durant steamer was run
out and fired up, but the fire was nearly
out before teams could be procured to
take it to the camp, and the engine
was returned to the house.
