or United Suites government atford-to pco.
pie bound for the Black Hills?
6-Are TIE Indians troublesome,
ANswERs.
AS the governor has given us these let
ters to read aud comment upon, We answer
them from our knowledge Of the subjects
upon which informstion is sought:
Yes, provided the possessoI Of capi
tal is endowed With sufficient business ca
pacity to iadiclously manage his business
affairs. There are excellent opportunities
for investment in the Hills and capital
rightly employed will bring large profits
The Hills need capital Crude wealth Is
there needing only capitalize convert it into
available shape.
2-Mcn who are willing 70 work can
certainly realize from their labor 10 Dako.
Ia, whether they employ their muscle In
the gold fields or The grain fields. The op.
poItunitY Is here and disposition TO
work is the certain road to success. Free
lands abound and persons who come to
STAY need have no fear Of the result OF Jheir
venture.
3-Our information upon the suhjectaf
the existence Of gold ard silver In the
Black Hills ls-of such positive nature as
10 admit of no contradiction. Newspaper
reports are not exaggerated. The placer
ldiggings. have received more attention than
the quartz lodes, for the reason that the
former have been better developed than the
latter, hut IL is our opinion that the yield
of quartz gold In the Black Hills will sur.
pass that Of any known mining region.
Placer gold exists in all the stream valleys.

Bennett presides. n
b-lhe government extends any needed

'ei none has been required from this point

8--The Indians never trouble the Miss.
ouri river side of The Hills. The hostiles
are perfectly peaccable when they come
within reaching distance Of the ag eneies
which seldom occurs, aud the agency Iu
dians are as harmless as whites.
These are questions which should prop.
