records the fact that all the large parties
except one of 4o, bound for Wind river.
are moving up the East side of the Big
Horn for Eastern Montana. The section
prospected is South of the river and is
described as coal formation. The Hus.
bandman publishes a letter from j. Nc
Goey, which says party is moving from
Powder river to some point on CLARK 8
Fork vie Fort G. F. Smith-that 400 to
500 men are on the way from the Black
Hills to the Big Horn Mountains, and
that greater number will enter from the
Sweetwater. He concludes that no gold
exists, and it seems probable that from
these parties Montana must receive quite
an emigration. The Tongue river mail
drivers report the advent upon the el-
lowstone of several parties which are
probably of those above mentioned.

Fold her little sh-oud AROUND her
Safest told of snowy white;
Yearniug hearts must live without her
She is 10 the land Of light.
Clasp the tiny, waxen fingers
Der the peaceful, slumberine breast
Close the blue eyes very gently
Little Hattie is at rest
On her downy coffin pillow
Lay the golden. curly head;
Lay the precious sleeper softly
In her quiet, little bed.
Never more will pains keen arrow
Pierce that sweet and tender form;
She is safe from every evil
Safe from every earthly storm.
She will have no need of mamma,
On that peaceful, horae-like shore,
Nor will fear the loving faces
She has never seen before.
Beautiful and gentle angels
Watch and guard your Hattie there
So she will not miss your voices,
Or your loving, watchful care.

Fort Custer.

The Chicago Times gives the following
data upon authority of Col. Sheridan !:
Gen. Buel has 100 mechanics at work and
expects 100 more-his three companies of
Infantry are assisting in the building
operations. 1000 cottonwood logs had
been cut for projected buildings and the
survey had been made. Gen. Buel is
determined to preserve the timber in the
vicinity of the post, and has accordingly
forbidden the cutting of logs within q
radius of eight miles. The lodge poles
left ~ the Sioux when they fled so
precip:tately aftcr the fight with Custer,
are being utilized in the construction of
the barracks. He expects to have quar-
tiers ready for twelve companies by the
middle of October.

Snow in the Mountains.

Army officers who have been station.
ed in that region for a dozen years told
Col. Sheridan that they had never before
seen, at this season of the year, SO much
snow on the Big Horn mountains. From
all accounts there had been no perceptible
diminution of last winters snow, anu
this had been steadily added to by fresh
falls during May and June. Several
prospectors had arrived at the new pos,
on the Little Horn who had made an
unsuccessful attempt to penetrate beyond
the Big Horn range. The snow barred
their progress at every point. In some
of the ravines high up on the range il
lay TO the depth Of twenty and thirty
feet. 1t was reported that the snow wa.
melting so slowly that the streams would
most likely continue bank full all sum-

Methodist Episcopal Conference

MeLnOOlSC GpiScOpal conference.
The first session of the Montana Con
ference convened in Bozeman August Cd,
Bishop Bowman in the chair. The roll
was called by F. A. Riggin, Secretary of
the Rocky Mountain Conference at its last
session, and the following members an
swered to their Names:
F. A. Riggin, w. &. Shipper, L. W.
B. Long, Clark Wright and Hugh Duncan.
1t will be seen that we start as Con
ference with but five members; several
others, however, are employed in the reg.
ular work as supplies. J.. W. B. Long
was elected Secretary and Hugh Duncan
assistant Secretary. A session was held
each day from $50 a. m. to II M, which
was d, voted to the transaction of imp0r.
Itant business matters relating TO the inter
ests of the Church, which clio ted able
discussions of the subjects at issue. On
the evening of each dsy sermon was
delivered by one Of the ministers of the
Conference.
Taken upon the whole, from the COM
memo, ment to the close, 1t was a time new
Ter to be forgotten. 1t was an oasis IN the
desert of life, calculated to refresh and
strengthen us for the future.
Bishop Bowman's pulpit efforts, Sab
bath morning and evening, produced a
wonderful impression throughout the en-
tire town. The seating capacity in our
large church was well taken up on these
occasions by the intelligent Poop, who
listened with almost breathless attention
to his discourses, which were so mastery,
80 finished, SO full of beautiful thoughts,
so full of everything that constitute the
orator, and represent the salvation OF our
God. His addresses-Missionary. and to
the young peop!e-receive universal en-
comiums. We feel that we can toll on
because he came and inspired Us. Jews
and Gentiles all have good word tor the
Bishop, and will ever remember him
fondly. Were to attempt to give An idea
of the impressions made by this great and
good man in favor of the religion of our
Lord, 1t would be but to fail.
At the close of the morning services
the Pastor made a fine ncial statement to

Capt. Logan, whose death in the face OF
the enemy we are obliged to record. is thus
mentioned by the Herald:
This gallant officer, killed in the battle
of the Big Hole, was captain Of A com
pany, 9TH Infantry, and was veteran in
years and in army service. Three years
more. had they been spared him, of mill
tary duty would have entitled him to fe-
tlrement on full pay. A capable. accorn>
plished officer, he was also in the face OF
danger a soldier of unquesticned courage.
