Nr. Witcher has been talking with old
man LaPlant of Sioux Point recently, who
confirms ne story published by US as related
bv MI. Witcher, that the Black Hills mines
are indeed an old thing that they We're
known many years ago, and were worked
nearly century ago. LaPiant visited the
Hills twenty two years ago, and can lead the
way to a cave where the date of his visit and
his companions are inscribed. Mr. ". Is
irving to get the old man to return with
him. but be says the rheumatism IS too
tough on him. Witcher is Of the opinion
that the Black Hills mines were worked
through Choteau, the old fur trader VINO was
AZ the read Of the s.. Louis fur company IN
The earliest times. LaPlant says he knows
of q party of men who went into the Hills IN
1859 end never came out. The skeletons
forl,ld behind the rude breastworks- as here
tofore described. were probably the remains
Of these men. Chotean carried on his work
IN tie mines through Indians. and kept his
secret vel. q sInice box has recently been

terday morning concealed in hollow

in this county. Two horses were tied
to tree near by and from the appear

evident that the man was killed sever

on his person directed to Wells Dc

Seek and We Shall Find.

The citizens of Hartford, KY, are
aroused like colony OF bees when the
hive is turned over. The young have
trimmed their lamps, the old have
rubbed up their "specs," and all are
cropping in the dark, seeking those
five or six elegant churches" that are
said to be in the town. There is no
mistake, for the Commissioner of Ag-
riculturs says they are there in my
report" and as the said commissioner
is no less an authority on theology than
on barley, the statement must he ac-
cepted as true. In fact one of the
churches has been found. What
troubles the Hartford folks, though, is
the tide of immigration, mostly preach
ers and Sunday school superintendent
seeking employment, that has turned
that way since the valuable report
was issued.-Farmers Home Journal.
