BLACK HILLS NUGGETS.

Enos' ten-stamp mill arrived at Lead
City on Tuesday. The building is
ready for the machinery, and every
thing will be i'll complete running order
in n few days.
The erection of Smith, Pringle &
company's five-stamp quartz mill, ut
Lead City, is nearly completed. This
mill has II power for ten stamps, and the
proprietors intend adding the additional
stamps in n short time.
We yesterday examined a specimen
of coal from the newly discovered mines
of the Black Hills Consolidated Coal
Mining company. The mines are stu
ted upon Blasburg creek. The coal is a
superior quality of Ignite and entirely
free from iron, consequently will burn
without cinder or clinkers, is almost
entirely combustible, and only leaves a
residuum of five per cent. of ashes. The
company propose building Il direct road
to the mines, and at an early date the
people OF this community may expect q
supply of coal at prices which will be
much more economical than wood. b.

Hayes Proposed Southern Visit.

Washington, June 25.-The Presi-
dent, in an interview with the editor
of the Memphis Appeal, said he was
very anxious to visit the south and
meet in their houses the leading men of
that section. He felt satisfied hat the
spirit of fraternity between the citizens
was rapidly gaining in strenth, and
thought the people of the south should
encourage immigration of vigorous and
enterprising men of the north. He
wa uesirous Of hearing as to the pro-
gress of education in the south, partic-
ularly among the colored people. He
remembered when the professors of
Oberlin College, Ohio, who went south
to teach negroes, wrote back accounts
of inhospitable treatment in that Sec
ton, but the accounts from there now
were of Il different character. The
President was exceedingly interested
in a statistical statement made con-
corning the education of colored peo-
pie. The President did not say when
he would visit the south.

and Sloshone chiefs who were in
council with Gov. Brayman, yesterday,
left to-day for their camp at Great Ca
mas prairie. One of them, Capt.
Boise Jim, some years ago served with
distinction under Gen. Crook as scout.
Two others, Major Jim and Major
George, have done similar service, and
Buffalo Horse, a young Bannock brave,
was a scout under Gen. Miles in the
recent Sioux war. Whether the peace
full protestations of these Indians will
be fulfilled will depend upon the sue
cess of the Nez Perces and their allies.
The situation is critical and the influ-
ences to which these Indians are ex-
posed are adverse to the safety of the
settlements. They number about five
hundred warriors. Some Of the Nez
Perces will remain friendly in any
event, but they do not constitute any
considerable portion of the fighting
men. 1t is significant that the number
of Indians moving about or camped
near the settlements this summer is
much greater than usual.

San Francisco, June 25.-The de-
cision of the United States Inspector of
hulls and boilers in the case of the loss

trict inspector. 1t has not yet been

The Embroidery Of History.

One of the bits of history most
familiar to Americans is Jackson's battle
of New Orleans, where, from behind his
breastwork of cotton bales "a material
which the enemy's cannon could not
PIERCE he repulsed with prodigious
slaughter Packenham's veterans, fresh
from their European victories. This
story of the rampant of cotton, as related
in both English and American histories,
is, however, purely apocryphal. Its
origin seems to nave been the fact that,
many days before the battle of January
s (for Jackson's troops had been work
ing steadily at the intrenchments since
Christmas) about fifty cotton bales were
taken out of neighboring fiat-boat and
thrown into a line of earthworks to in
crease its bulk. About week before
the assault, In a preliminary skirmish, as
Walker tells us in his "Jackson at New
Orleans" the enemy's balls, striking
one of these bales, knocked it out of the
mound, set fire to the cotton, and sent it
flying about to the great danger of the
ammunition. All the bales were conse-
quently removed. "After this" con-
tinues the account, emo cotton bales
were ever used in the breastwork. THE
mound was composed entirely of earth
dug from the canal and the field in the
rear. The experiment of using cotton
and other articles in raising the embank-
ment had been discarded"
