Miner s Co.. Of this city, and ont of the
various newspaper publications made. per-
sons not hating . correct understanding of
the situation, Of things are liable to be de.
ceived. The overland freight lIne operated
bv Branfble, Miner & Co. from Pierre to
Deadwood is the most extensive outfit In
itself ever organized for the transportation
Of supplies IN the northwest. 1t operates
in connection with the Coulson line Of
steamers (uine first-clsss freight and passen.
ger boats) snd the Dakota Southern rail-
road. These two organisations h.ye 40
eastern arrangement with all the leading
railroad lines and can and do transport all
Black Hills freight at the lowest price and
with speed and certainty. There is abso-
lutely no chance for failure on their part.
They have the contracts for carrying mi
litsIy and Iadian supplies for the govern.
ment and the steamboat part of their trans.
portation business must 20 on without any
interruption. The boats OF. the Coulson
npe operate fIom Yankten up The Missouri
and the Dakota Southern railroad COMPANY
turns over al Its freight to this line at
Yaukton. Boats run SO frequently that
goods are not held oyer here any longer
than is necessary to make the transfer from
the cars to the steamers. At Pierre the
freight wagons Of Brsmble Miner, & Co.
are ready to load on goods from the boats
and hurry them over the prsiries to Dead
wood. BY the combination two ends at,
attainsd-speed and low rates. No othe,

herein enumerated, as the Coulson boat
have fixed their summers arrangement
with Bramble, Miner & Co. There is

City. transporting the Indian freight, bu
az it's contract will be turned over to til
Coulson boats after the 30th of June, Their
is no certainty that it will continue in re
Rular labor from that point. Deprived o
its government business and with only
small portion of the Black Hills privat
!, freight TO carry, it is probable that thes
boats will change their base before the Sc.
son Is over. Bramble, Miner g. Co. th
Coulson steamboat line and the Dakot

EXCITEMENT Up 1We Na,

The RusA 81 settlers and the Easrt TO
STRIKE Rallrsaa Locations.
Clarence VanTasel returned last night
from . weak's trip up the Jim river. He
went ~ far ~ Forestburs, which last fall
Was outside the lines Of settlement, with the
exception Of an occasional ranch. Since
then things lave changed. Settlers are
fockir4 into the valley and every acre OF
farming land is being taken BY men who
will till the soil and there plant their homes.
Mr.. VanTassel says that from the Big Sioux
to the Jim, along the lines of the proposed
extensions Of the Sioux Falls and the Mil
waukee roads. every claim has been taken
for five miles each side Of these imaginary
roads. While this is going on railroad SUR
veyors are running over the intermediate
country, equinting from bluff to bluff, look.
ing exceedingly wise, putting in stakes and
taking them out again and keeping the
bewildered pilgrims in perpetual half
way condition between certainty and un.
certainty. 1t is alleged that there is hardly
a quarter section between these two rivers
that has not an imaginary depot upon il,
aud prospective locomotives arc making
the day and the night hideous with the
shrieks of their steam whistles and the
rumble of their wheels. 1t seems as if the
commercial center of the world had suddenly
been shifted to the prairies Of Dakota and
that those u%nfortunates who have not &C.
cured . claim are in hard luck. West
ward from Milltewn, on the supposed line
of the supposed extension Of the Milwaukee
road, all the land has been taken for eigh-
teen miles out, and later corners ar6 break
ing their necks in the effort to get ahead Of
each other and secure the remnant of the
strip which rests its sunset end against the
great Sioux reservation.
