The Sitting Bull Commission.

The commission to visit Sitting Bull
has been completed, by the acceptance
of Mr.. John Mcneil, a st. Louis mer-
chant, who became a member on con-
dition that he pay his own expenses.
General Terry, of the Department Of
Dakota, will be the other member, and
Capt. Corbin, of the Twenty-fourth In
fantry, recently on duty at the White
House as military secretary to the
President, will act as clerk. General
Terry is expected in Washington at
once, when he will receive his instruc-
lions and join Gen. Mcneil in Chicago
this week. Several newspaper cor
respondents will accompany the
party. They will go to Bismarck
by the Northern Pacific railroad, where
they will take a boat to Fort Peck or
some other point on the Upper Missouri
then they will be given a guard of cav
airy to the boundary line of the British
Possessions. They will be guided to
Sitting Bulls camp, which is said to
be near Lake Pekopee, about eighty
miles north of the forty-ninth parallel.
The United States military will not be
allowed to cross the border; but will
remain in camp until the return Of the
commissioners. The command of the
Canadian mounted police will represent
the Canadian Government in the nego-
tiations. The commissioners will be
instructed to offer Sitting Bull absolute
immunity from punishment for the
murders he has committed, the same
terms on which Crazy Horse and other
Sioux chiefs have surrendered, in cas-
he will go to a reservation and surren-
der his arms and ponies. They EXPECT
to reach Sitting Bulls camp by the 10Th
of September and return early in Oc-
toher.

Black NILS BUDGET.

The North Star is showing up well.
A great quantity of fine ore has been
taken out.
The late yield from ore of the Tele-
graph lode, run in the Whitewood
Arastra, has sent stock up.
Collins, who killed Nolan recently on
the Belle Fourche, has been discharged,
an examination showing that the
homicide was justifable.
All the mills at Lead City, seven in
number, are running in full blast night
and day., having secured a full supply
of water by sinking to bedrock.
Capt. Monahan's and Lieut.. Chase's
commands, companies G and A, of the
Third Cavalry, passed through Dead
wood last Friday en- route for Fort
Laramie.
Capt. Stanton, Chief Engineer De-
partment of the Platte, accompanied by
Lieuts. Swigert and S~eaton, and an es-
cort Of forty men, passed through
Deadwood last Friday morning en- route
for Fort Reno.
The Clara is developing rapidly. The
proprietors have two shafts down and
one hundred and fifty tons of ore on the
dump. They have abandoned the idea
Of selling this mine, and intend erect
ing a mill Immediately.
The Old ABB is being vigorously
worked night and day. The owners
intend erecting a mill for their W use
as soon as practicable. They work two
shifts and have 4 large quantity. of fine
ore out.

they have at present about $50 tons of
first quality ore on the dump.
The Homestake, No. l., employs
thirty men night and day. The pro-
prietors have three shafts and two
tunnels, from all of which they are
tunnels alone they supply enough to
keep three mills running. The yield
from this mine is probably second to
none in the Hills.
We have been shown a very fine
specimen of quartz, in fact, we think
the finest ever found in the Hills. Its
size is considerable, and quite a large
quantity of free gold visible to the
naked eye is scattered owe the face of
tine rock, while a quantity of moss
adheres to the surface which clearly
shows that this is from the groupings.
The specimen is from the Father de
Smet mine.
Ledwich Bros. & Hunt made a clean
up last Thursday from a weeks run on
ore of 80, 200. This shows a full aver
age yield per ton as the ore is running
in other mills. This lisa new mill, andi it
was feared by Whitney and Ledwich,
that the amalgam was not being saved,
which proved to be a mistake when the
mortars were all cleaned out. [B. IT.

Since the recent threatening incur
sions of the Missouri river at Omaha,
by which the q. P. car shops and the
Omaha Smelling Works are seriously
endangered, and the commencement
of a big suit against the Union Pacific
by Douglas county, of which Omaha is
the capital, there has been strong talk
of removing the a shops and smelling
works to some point west of that city,
and already delegations have waited on
Union Pacific authorities at Omaha
from Columbus and Grand Island, Neb.,
endeavoring to receive the shops, in
case of removal, at those points. Tele-
graphic correspondence, with the same
end in view, is also being carried on.
A change of base, though by no means
certain, is known to be quite possible,
and these parties seem to be alive to
the situation. Probably 5000 people
are supported by the railroad shops
alone. aI.f.!-t
Cheyenne has been quietly allowing
this thing to go on without lifting her
voice to advise, or urge upon the rail-
road authorities the advantage Of re-
moving these shops to the Magic City.
We have here a fine foundation, upon
which the shops can be built, and we
have every other advantage, in location,
etc., which can possibly be desired.
The terminal point of two important
feeders, the principal station outside of
Omaha on the whole line, and the to
be initial point of the Black Hills and
Montana railroad system, should not
be slow in urging her advantages upon
Gould and Dillon, nor should these
magnates turn a deaf ear to repre-
sensations. Let the Citizens Commit
tee take this matter in hand, and that
right speedily.

THE MURPHY
Where. How, and BY Whom the Temperance
Revival was lnausurated.

There has been considerable curiosity
manifested, and scores of people have
asked US what the Murphy movement
means. For the benefit of the unin.
formed we give the subjoined facts:
The movement was set in motion by a
reformed drunkard and whisky seller
Of Pittsburg, named Murphy. Some
thing over a year ago this man became
converted at a religious revival, and
Immediately knocked in the heads of
his whisky barrels and closed the doors
Of his saloon. He re-opened the place
very soon, however, but it was for the
purpose Of giving his reasons for his
action, to crowds that daily increased
in numbers. He is of great force of
character, and expressed himself with
a rude, untutored eloquence that car
ried conviction straight to the hearts of
his hearers. The meetings commenced
in one of the wards of the South side
most distant from the City Hall. They
were repeated nightly, and soon Murphy
was called upon to embrace the whole
city in his field of labor. From the city
the furore spread rapidly east and
west.
1t crossed the Allegheny mountains,
it extended to the Mississippi, and
before long Murphy found himself
the center of a field of operations
extending over the entire country,
with hundreds of workers and speakers
engaged in furthering the temperance
cause according to his peculiar method.
The fruits of this movement have been
the aus of wonder even to the most
enthusiastic disciples of cold water.
Wherever Murphy meetings have been
started converts have been made by
hundreds, not alone among the more
degraded, but among the cultivated
votaries of the bowl. In some commu-
mites there has followed an almost
entire cessation of liquor selling, and
saloon keepers have been compelled to
go into some other business. Whether
the results are lasting, is of course at
present impossible to tell; the temporary
results, however, are u~ndoubted, and
it will be remarkable if there does not
ensue some permanent good from so
great an awakening. The distinct
feature Of Murphy's original idea is
that to reform a drunkard, it is neces-
sary to convert him; that man of him.
self has not strength neces-
sary to shake off a habit fastened on
him by years ,of indulgence. Conse-
quently, his meetings partook of a relig-
ious character, and were really religious
revivals, with temperance as the ulti-
mate object.
