following interesting letter from him
DEADwooD CITY, D. T., June 10, 1877.
Ed. APPRAL-As promised | take this opportunity to
write you line have been here since the first nstaut
have visited most all the principal mines in this vncnity
placer mines principally drift diggings with
little chance hydraulics to be worked advantage
l do not believe there is claim in Deadwood Canyon
that being worked but what is paying fair and
some of them as high as four dollars the
Of timbers, 4X10, the bedrock The quartz mills,
some six or seven in number all claim be paying well
The odes or deposits have sufficiently developed
yet to enable to form correct idea OF them My
impression they regular lodges but this portion of
earth has been thown its side since the for
nation of the veins, making them to work five
or six men being sufficient to run 6-stamp mill Dead
wood City about the size of Carson but anything but
pleasant place to live in. The climate IS from one eN
IRENE to another in one dav The people here
like Nevada Western people They do not make 1t
livey under the circumstances would in Nevada
The majority OF them are willing t" work for forty dollars
Der month and do their washing and that class of
the principal mines and business of Deadwood
So money is not circulated very freely here great
many turing their attention to farming, but think
they will get sick of that unless the Government
changes its Indian policy. The Indians drawing
they catch alone. Two scalped within seven
miles Of this place yesterday. Everyone here says that
points of the hills conflicting to the mines and In
dams. for one don't propose spending much of my
time in the country this Summer Every one suppose
will to to know what the chances for making money
are in tine Black Hills On my arrival here met Dave
Flowery old Montana friend of mine, who think is
well posted anyone He says everybody that comes
here and makes meney will do WE'LL That's all. Regards
TO all Carson folks. Yours, etc, 1. Is. W.
Now here is letter from a sensible man
with an observant eye in his head. The CON
illusions to be made are that there is gold in
the Black Hills-not only 1.-THE color" but
profitable diggings. Such mining as Mr..
Winston describes as drift diggings" is
ually of comparatively permanent character.
Surface digoings like other gleanings, are
soon exhausted. The quartz mines, as de.
scribed, would seem to be profitable because
so easy Of access. The people who have come
to occupy the land" are just the character
of folk we supposed had got in there-fresh
DRAWINGS from Eastern farms and villages
and workshops, green and greedy folk,
good deal after the familiar fashion of the
immigrants one encounters on the Pacific
Railroad, dusty, unkempt and unweaned
from the ways of small scrimpings and the
the narrowness of local whims and prac-
tees As to the Indian policy SO emphati-
cally denounced, we agree with any who can
and do effectively curse it. 1t is worse than
impotent-it is vicious, past all comparison.
1t will, after many misfortunes and slaugh-
very grim joke of Dan Flowery ''any-
body who comes here and makes money will
do well p We are glad to be able to present
the readers of the MORNING APPEAL with so
sensible letter; aud hope lump will write
again
