Facts of Interest to Those Who
are Going There.
Cheyenne as an Quitting
"a - Point. 1na

In answer TO the many communica-
lions which we receive daily, we have
compiled the following budget of infor-
nation, for the benefit of all those who
are afflicted with the Black Hills fever.
While 1t is not as complete as we
might desire and promise to make it,
we think it will answer most of the
questions asked. The first query pro-
pounded is whether we really believe
there is gold in the Black Hills. This
has been too well proven to admit of
doubt Good judges who have the
means of knowing, estimate the amount
of gold brought from the Hills during
the year 1876, at a million and a half of
dollars; as much more remains undoubt-
ly in the hands of miners and merchants
in the several settlements; for it is only
recently that the Cheyenne and Black
Hills Stage company has commenced
to carry gold dust with a guarantee of
safe delivery. Na e-T
Gold is found in paying quantities in
nearly all the mining districts opened.
The richest discoveries in placer and
quartz mining have, however, been
made ON Deadwood and Whitewood
creeks, and along these creeks cluster
the principal mining towns in the Black
Hills. 81
Owing to the hostility of the Indians
the mountain ranges west and north of
Deadwood received last year but lit
tie attention from the p~rospector; but
it is known that that section also
abounds in gold and silver, which dur
ing the present year will be brought TO
light by the hardy miner.
i How to Reach the Black Hills.
Without decrying any of the propos-
ed routes from points on the Upper
Missouri liver, we assert that the route
from Cheyenne northward is the safest,
speediest, cheapest and best to reach the
Black Hills. Cheyenne is at the juno
ton of the two competing railroads from
the East-the Union Pacific and Kan
sas Pacific. 1t will be two days. rail-
road travel to Cheyenne from Chicago
or st. Louis. The following table will
show the distance and present rate of
fare from these two points to Cheyenne:

We are credibly informed by the rep

from Chicago to Cheyenne, to Black
Hills parties, which will be at least one
third less than the above rates.

Capt. Abel came forward and extended
his hand; but it was an awkward meet
ing. They bud not seen each other since
the breaking off of their engagement
over score Of years beforehand both
of them were uncomfortably conscious
of the fact. But Capt Abel drew chair
up to the stove, and tried to talk as if
he had forgotten all about it; they dis
cussed the weather, the crops, and every
thing else they cared nothing about,
until Mrs. Sarah, who was all in whirl
with the surprise OF Miss James visit,
and who could not keep still-try as she
would-broke into the conversation with

And the little woman, quite overcome
by these "reminiscences, opened the oven

important particulars. He has intro

COLUMBUS.

Official Statement of the Finding of the
Bones of the Discoverer of America In
San Domingo.
The United States Consul at San Do
mingo has transmitted to the Depart
ment of State an account of the recent
discovery Of the bones OF Columbus in
that city. Dying in Spain in 1906, the
remains of Columbus were first deposit
ed in the Convent of ST. Francis in 1913.
They were transferred to the Carthusian
Convent at Las Cuenas, from whence
they were shipped to San Domingo in
1886, and deposited in the Cathedral of
that city. In 1796 these remains, as it
was then and UP to the present oiscoy-.
cry believed, were conveyed in great
pomp to the Cathedral of Havana, where
they were supposed to have reposed
ever since. The Consul at San Domin-
so says that while some workmen were
digging up the floor around the pulpit
In the Cathedral, to make some repairs,
they exposed to view q walled orihce
containing leaden case two feet long
by about eight inches deep and eight
inches wide, the inscription on which
bore incontestible evidence that the con-
tents were the bones of CHRISTOPHER
Columbus. Immediately on this discoy-
cry being made, the remains were re-
stored to their original resting place and
the receptacle walled up. On the 10th
OF September, in the presence OF the
Governor and other Government officials.
and the various Consuls, amid the
sounds of martial music and the boom
ing of cannon, the remains were again
exhumed, the box, bones, and inscrip-
ton examined, and the facts recorded
and attested to by all the officials and
Consuls present. The lead box contain
ing the remains was then inclosed in
another box, carefully sealed with the
seals of the Consuls, to be opened only
III their presence, and placed in the Gus
tody of Padre Billini, in the church of
Regina Angelorum, to be held by him
subject to investigation by any foreign
commissions DESTROYS of satisfying them
selves of the facts, and until suitable
amount can be raised to erect fitting
monument over the remains. IT be-
ing suggested that other countries might
Like to contribute to the erection of this
monument, the various Consuls were re.
quested to bring the subject to the at
tention of the various Governments, in
order to give them chance to do so.
The ancient records of the Cathedral in
San Domingo having been long ago
destroyed by vandals, no facts concern
ing the supposed removal of these re-
mains to Havana can be ascertained in
San Domingo, but it is conjectured that
the monks palmed off on the Spaniards
the remains of somebody else, retaining
to themselves and their Cathedral the
venerated bones OF the great navigator.

Chief Joseph as an Orator.

I suppose that the story Of Joseph's
surrender has grown nlonotonous to most
persons; still [ cannot refrain from Civ
ing Joseph's reply to the demand for
surrender made by Gen. Miles. Joseph,
when he surrendered, stepped up to
Gen. Howard, who was standing by the
side of Gen. Miles, and handed him his
gun. Howard shook his head and said:
mo, Joseph, although I have followed
you for nearly 5000 miles, I cannot take
the glory from him who deservesit. There
is the man to whom you must surren-
der" pointing to Gen. Miles. Joseph.
turning to Miles with sad smile, hand
ed him his gun, and, through an in
terpreter, said: ''Tell Gen. Howard I
know his heart. What he told me be-
fore have in my heart. I am tired of
fighting. Our chiefs are killed. Look

Mules.

Atlanta, Ga, enjoys the distinction of
being the greatest mule center in the
country. It is certainly situated in the
chief mule producing country, and dis
tributes the animals over large part of
the South. These hard brutes are fast
supplanting the horse for farm and dray
work, on account of their greater cheap
ness and usefulness, and the mule trade
has grown to large proportions. AS many
as Is, 900 of the long-eared brutes have
been received and sold in Atlanta in one
year, the finest coming from Kentucky
and Tennessee, and usually bringing
from 800 to $175 each.

A cure for Eiephsntlasis.

"A OuEe IOF NlA8ias
London Examinsr.l
1t is an old saying that God never
strikes with both hands-also that
where the devil has placed the
poison Ged has provided an anti
dote. These ancient sayings are
still believed by many, and certainly
things occur now and again to prove
that they are not destitute of truth.
For example, in Central America
in Oolumbia-in the tropical val
leys Of the Andes, on the high table
lands, as well as on the lowly shores
of the Caribbean sea, there is a loath-
some disease called elephantiasis; it
is not confined to any class of per-
sons, although it is more prevalent
among the poor, and the poor Of
the negroes.
The malady is not only fearful
and loathsome to the patient, it is
hideous to behold. The members
of the body become swollen with
ulcers to a formidable size; the hair
drops off; SO do the nails; the
voice disappears and sleep is muir
dered. For this most awful of HUI
man ills a cure has recently been
discovered and used with the hap
piest result. TIL is nothing else
than eating the flesh Of the
turkey buzzard, or gallianzo, a
bird 80 filthy in it's habits that the
meat it produces has been refused
by Europeans who were dying
Of hunger. Several of the party
who accompanied Lieutenant Stain
in his perilous explorations of
the Isthmus of Darien, lay
down to die, and died because the
flesh of this bird was too revolving
to eat. Now the gallianzo abounds
in those parts, indeed is the only
bird that may be said to abound in
the populous regions; he is likewise
the only scaveuger; now he will be
elevated to higher uses, and it is
fair hat gallianzoes as well as
men should rise to higher things.
News has reached us from Pam
anna and Carthagena of several
cures having been effected OF this
direful plague by the use of the
flesh Of a carriOn bird. Home-
opathists will look up, and all who
hate medicine will be supplied with
new arguments.
