TENSION.

CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE AND ST. PAUL EX-
TENSION
WAsHISGToS, April 17.-From COM
munications received by the commits
sioner of Indian affairs, from agents of
the great Sioux reservation, it appears
that the Indians are considerably dis
turbed over the fact that the Chicaeo,
Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad COM
pany are going on with their extension
through the Sioux territory. Last fall
ON arrangement was made by which
the company, in consideration of the
right of way through the reservation,
paid over to the Indians. Negotiations
for the cession oil that portion of the
great Sioux reservation through which
the railroad will run was then pending
and the money was not placed to the
CREDIT OF THE INDIANS.
Congress failed in consequence of a
technically to ratify the agreement
finally obtained by the Sionx commits,
sion. These negotiations will be con-
t'nued. In the meantime, Secretary
Teller has decided that the
RIGHT OF WAY
to the railroad company must be rati-
fed by congress, and holds t.e money
paid by the company subject to such
action as may be taken by congress.
The company is, however, continuing
the construction OF the road through
the Sioux reservation, and the Indians
are
BECOMING CLAMoROUs
for their money. Should tue pending
n gotiations result in a cession to the
governm mt of that part IF the reser-
vBtion occrpied by the railroad com
pany before the ratification of the right
sf way the question will arise
as to what shall be done
with the money paid by the com Sany.
This uncertainty seems to add 10 the
uneasiness Of the Indians. The com,
missioner of Indian sff.irs has notified
the Sioux Indians agents that the rail
road company has acted in good faith
and that the money agreed to be paid
by them is now in the treasury, and if
congress ratifies the Tight of way will
be placed TO the credit of the Indians
This it is expected will pacify the Sioux
at least so far as the action of the rail-
road company is concerned.

A VEST to Butte has impressed ue with
one fact that while the prosperous exist
cnce Of purely mining towns Is only .
question of time, our observations Of
the immense mineral resources there, has
led ~ TO the conclusion that its lease Of
life ~ IN important and prosperous cens
tire, b longer than any place We have
ever seen. Our life, for the greater part
Of it has been spent in mining countries
and ve have seen the rise and fall of
many mining towns and cities, but We
do not expect to live long enough to see
the decay Of this prosperous city. In
stead of one lead yielding mp Its precious
treasures, there are hundreds and We
were told that 80 far, no mine properly
developed had proved . failure. We had
the pleasure of visiting several Of the
leading mines and were most conrtcously
treated and shown around through the
mines and mills. The owners are not
afraid TO show what they have and what
they are doing. The mills and furnaces
for reducing the ores and tho hosting
machinery are of the latest and most
improved patterns. Some very fine
brick blocks are being erected and every.
thing betokens confidence in the future
Of the city. Large stocks Of goods are
handled in the various lines and all the
religious and benevolent institutions are
we'll represented. The Utah 4 Northern

trains both south and north and are

ployees are attentive and obliging.

20 far - it relates 70 our Delegation Con-

aptly illustrates the political position Of
our nsighbor. II is Republican At time

NO fault to find. Yet W are receiving
recognition that they prefer

Cd Baldy Il 1900 Feet High.

This grand old dome-shaped mountain
il situated in the West Gallatin range,
about twenty miles above the lower can
yon, and is certainly one Of the highest
in that part of the mountains
Ever since came into the valley I
have anticipated = trip to its lofty top.
It is plainly seen from the valley. The
magnificent snow band that adorns it,
northeast lace, never melts and can be
plainly seen from the valley the year
round.
With two comrades or the 23rd day Of
September, we started on our trip. Our
route lay up the West Gallatin. Wefrst
passed through the lower canyon, which
after two miles widens out so that there
are some farms. Then along the east
side, further on arc perpendicular walls
thousand feet high. We followed the
river to the mouth of He'll Roaring creek
where we went into camp-the creek is
truly named.
Before six next morning we were NOV
ing. We had two mules and two ponies.
We now left the riverAand followed a
divide. There was no trail now-the
first few miles up is steep, rough and rug
ged-and we soon found our waoblocked
by almost impossible cliffs, but by
patience and perseverance and work,
moving stones and filling in chasms, we
finally got around these. Then wind falls
bothered us, but these once passed we
suddenly came in sight Of Old Badly.
We could now ride most of the way. At
the base Of the peak my comrades went
into camp, but pushed ahead, leading
my mule to the mountain top, which l
reached at noon. What a grand view
now lay before me, but luck was against
me, the smoke, like cloud lay between
me and the valley below.
I had carried up some dry pine to make
q fire. l went to snow bank and got some
snow which melted and raised to the
boiling point which I found to be 1867,
making my altitude about 1900 feet.
The last vestige of timber passed at
$4,000 n, . running pine. found only one
little plant. The rocks and ground were
covered with . kind Of moss. Away
below we could see seven small lakes,
made by the melting ice and snow. We
camped at the first water and timber at
10000 feet, near large field of ice that
covered several acres, a real glacier.
Next day when the sun shone on it the
cold water was running down. At night
the ground where it was wet froze hard
and it seemed like winter indeed. Even
at midday fire was necessity.
So have once been in an arctic region
and nearer heaven than l hope to be
soon again.
The mountains to the south and west
are the most rugged l ever saw, and
looked to be utterly impcnetrable.

Still there is no report from the Judge
Conger investigator case Conger was
suspended rom the exercise of judicial
dut. es about seven months ago In July
last the testimony taken in his case was
forwarded to Washington, and SO far as
is known has not been acted upon ia the

Meanwhile two judges are endeavoring
as best they can to hold two terms of
court per year in each of thirteen coun-
ties, render decisions as Supreme bench
on appeal from judgments made by one
or the other, and perform, besides. the
various duties that devolve upon Judge
when moi s..ting in open court. 1t is not
in the power of these two men to get
through with all their bus ness, and as a
consequence the terms of codrt are post
poned from time to time, and when held
cases are hurried through with more
regard to the time they occupy than to
their general importance, or are contin-
ued from lack Of time to hear them. The
amount of litigation which regularly
comes before the courts for the several
counties is of such volume that the full
complement of judges would work hard
to prevent Inconvenience or injustice to
litigants, and two find it absolutely i'm
possible to attend to the full judicial

Nany argument was needed to con-
vince the people Of Gallatin valley the
importance and necessity to them Of q
wagon road up the West Gallatin river
to the National Park, the following in
terview We have had with Major Conger,
superintendent of the Park would Ger
tainly prove convincing:
Reporter-About how many people Wis
tied the Park this year,
Major Conger.-As near - can esti-
mate it, about 10000.
Reporter. what amount of
forage and agricultural products will be
consumed annually?
Major Congcr.-That is hard question
to answer. You may say that it has
taken about 800 horses to furnish trans
portation this year. That number will be
constantly increased and from the nature
Of the country, all forage for animals will
have to be imported. Your valley is the
natural point Of supply. Your gain is
far superior to that brought from Mime
sofa and Dakota. and you can certainly
furnish itas cheap. Certainly by a wagon
road up the Gallatin cheaper, to the
geyser orion Of the Park, - your land
haul win be no greater than from the
end of the track; besides large quantities
Of vegetable products will be consumed.
Reporser.-What proportion Of the
visitors to the Park went by rail and
stage.
Major Concer.- Should Judge about
one-fourth. The roads were continually
lined, with al soris of vehicles. II you
had good road up the Gal!atin, all these
teams would 60 into or out of the Park
by your road.
We had not time to prolong the inter
esting interview, As Major Conger was
very busy, but from the above we draw
the following deductions: That a road
as spoken Of is necessity and should be
built. That Gallatin valley should make
an effort to supply this region with her
products. That from the reports of en-
glneers, etc., this Is the most direct route,
with easy grades, beautiful scenery-fne
sport. That travel to or from the Park
will be directed that way. That the
time will never come, that the majority
of visitors will 60 in any other way than
by their own conveyances. That rail-
roads viii not be permitted to enter the
Park, and that therefore the easiest and
best route for wagon transportation will
be the one most Travelled by tourists. Do
not stop therefore for the sake Of the few
dollars it will cost. It will pay in the
end. Push the good work forward at
once 30 that another season may not pass
without its advantages.

Mysterious Murder.

On last Sunday afternoon, as Fred
Wick was hunting ducks, on the Beaver
head river northwest of town, he sud-
denly came across the dead body Of
man, lying in the water. He immedi-
ately returned to town, gave the alarm
and accompanied by large party of men,
again sought the place Of the ghastly
sight. The victim. upon examination
proved to be young man about % years
old, black hair, smooth face and was
dressed in a mixedsuit Of grey, a laundried
blue shirt and fine boots, all seemingly
new. In his pockets were found buck
skin purse containing fifty cents in sill
yer, silk handkerchief and pair of kid
gloves. He also had silk handkerchief
tied around his neck. Upon the arrival
of the Coroner the body was taken from
the water and laid on the bank of the
river, where it remained till Monday
morning, whel it was put in coffin and
brought to town. As near as can be es-
timated the bocy had lain in the river
from two to three weeks, and the water
had washed the skin off IN several places.
In the center of the forehead was a small
rornd hole, and the skull was mashed
in just over the right eye, showing quite
conclusive J ttat the dead man was the
victim Of foul murder. After the
corpse was exposed Until Monday noon,
" .hout being recognized by anyone, it
was given 4 decent bu-'a.
Whether the deed was committed here
or farther Up the rive it is of course,
hard to tel, as the man was not known
ana there is no circr nnstantial evidence

third cor. sc found W Thin year and
