Petition to Remove N. G. Ordwav.

The following petition is being cir
cu'atcd throughout the territory and if
received the same as in Custer, is being
numcrously signed
To the President: The undersigned
citizens of the county OF Custer, in the
Territory of Dakota, respectfully pray
that your Excellency will remove from
office n. &. Ordway, the present govern
or of the territory, and will appoint in
his stead some man who is not only
c1mre'cn and honest, but who is IN
sympathy and harmony with the people.
He Is not fitted for the place by educa-
ton, experience or qualities Of mind,
heart or character. He has so admin
istcred the affairs Of his Office as to lose
the confidence and respect Of the people
He is opposed to puse, free legislation
and holds his authority without popular
support here and not for the cou,mon
good. BY bad alliances politically, and
by evil influences upon our legislature
he has done more than any other to
bring odium upon The fair name Of Da-
kota. He is not in harmony with the
people on any Of the great questions
which vitality interest them, but seeks to
enforce his own selfish schemes, with
ont regard to their wishes or desires.
His dilatory method Of transacting busi-
ness Ito call it by no harsher term, has
worked great inconvenience and caused
large expense to the people.
In short, without further specifying
details, his general official course since
he came to Dakota has been such rs to
render him odious to the people. We
have endured his misrue for more than
three years, and nov forbearauce ceases
longer to be a virtue. In Justice, there
fore, to ourselves, as free American citi-
zens, believing that we are entitled to
good and honest government, and hav-
ing full confidence in your desire to fur
nish us with officers worthy Of our con
fidence and esteem, We earnestly pray
that You will appoint some other man
to the high and responsible position of
Governor of Dakota.

Of the situation, for, in order 20 reach
the county seat, Pierce City, to record
claims, journey of 250 miles via Lewis
ton must be undergone. The mines are
about G5 miles north Of the old govern

road, and As miles north Of the old C9ur

Occur D'Alene.


among the old timers of Custer the past
week has been the CpIr d'Alene noun
tains and many express the determine
tion TO take a trip to that country dur
ing the next three months, and proba-
bly, one out of every ten will carry out
the resolution. Among the old resi-
dents Of Custer are several who have
prospected and mined in that country,
notably James Sutherland and Charley
Nelson. In an interview with the for
mer gentleman he stated to CHRONICLE
reporter that he was not stuck" on that
country, that according TO his expert
ence there was six feet of snow there
now and would be mp to June. Charley
Nelson, who mined in that country as
early as '65 states that it is very noun
famous country, covered with timber
and that grazing and agricultural pur-
suits are out of the question.
For the benefit Of all we publish be,
low extracts from letter by 4. +. Ap-

ers) to Jim Burke of this city. The
writer is near Helena, Mont, at work
hauling wood. He says:
81 am at the base Oft the main range of
the rockies at what is known as Priest
Pass Dave England and Bradley, (who
are known to many here) went as far as
the Spokane Falls, there Dave met an
old friend that he knew in the Hills in
rs, and it being the time of the dis.
covery of the new camp Of placer mines
in the Ceur d'Alene mountains Of Idaho
Dave Bradley and his friend all went to
the camp and Dave and his friend are
there yet and going to winter. The
camp is going to be a good one, report
says that it is AS good as the famous
Alder gulch. The gulch is from 40 TO 80
rods wide and thirteen miles long.
Dave has some good claims but the dis
covery was made very late this fall and
they have not got any Of the claims
developed yet, bat what has been done
pays well, from one half 10 three ounces
per day to the mln. There are at least
1000 men in the camp to winter and
hold the claims, but they can do nothing
until spring, the locations being in the
snowy range on the Pacific slope. There
will will be a terrible rush there as soon
as spring opens and l will be one of the
number, SO | think"
He closes by stating that Billy
Benson and several others from the
Hills are in the vicinity where he now
is.
From the above which was written on
the 20th nit. We should Judge that the
country viii be swarmed With people by
.,cxt summer, and no. until that time
will it be known what is the extent or
richness ofthe new diggings. However,
one used 10 mining excitements will no
doubt have opportunities to make a
c.ean up Of no small magnitude, while
the tenderfeet are finding out whether
the reports are true in regard to the
amount Of yellow stuff buried beneath
& or feet of snow and ~ many more of
dirt, or whether it is Northern Pacific
