From 5000 to 5000.

Maj. Reno had ain interview with Sit
ting Bull in Washington, regarding the
number of Indians engaged in Little Big
Horn fight, where Custer and his COM
mand were massacred. 1t was only
after great difficulty that Sitting Bull
consented to talk. The Indians have no
means of counting, except by compare
son, and therefore he could not state
definitely the number of warriors en-
gagged in the massacre. With the aid of
his fingers, however, he called to mind
thatseven tribes and part of another par
ticipated in the sun dance, on the banks
of the Little Big Horn, just before Custer
got his fate. He said the bands occu-
pied OverTHn tAqaas. and from. this his
interpreter inferred that JIlsza .,.are
from 5000 to 5000 Indians attending
the dance. The combined forces of Reno
and Custer would have been easily van
pushed by an enemy so strong in num-
beers. The chief does not wish to talk
much about Custer. He fears the white
people would even now punish him if
they knew to what extent he was con-
cerned In the fight. Some Of the old
Indian fighters present at th' conference
say they do not believe he had anything
to do with the massacre, but that Crazy
Horse was the leading spirit in the af.

The Coal Washer.

As the CHRONICLE has previously mem
toned, Queally & Hoffman, of Timber
line, have erected an experimental coal
washing machine for washing the stock
or refuse coal of their mine, which has
proved perfect success.
The Helena Independent in speaking
of its success and advantages 1.-The
machine was built at the Helena Iron
works and was designed simply to DOM
onstrate, en- a working scale, the practi-
cability of cleaning the refuse coal of the
Timberline mine. The product as it
leaves the washer is almost perfectly
free from foreign matter, being much
cleaner than the best grade of eastern
sift coal. Messrs. @. & HI. have two
Standard coke ovens which are now be-
ing worked with the washed coal. The
result is very superior article of coke.
The coke is equal in weight and heating
properties to that shipped from Connell-
vile, Pa, and carries a smaller percent
age of ash than any eastern coke here"
tofore brought to this market.
The supply Of coking coal is unlimited,
apparently, in the Timberline, or, as it
is more commonly known, the Bozeman
district. Without washing, however,
there is too mnch slate and other foreign
substances mixed through it to make
marketable COKE The cost of washing
will not exceed twenty cents per ton,
which is but trihing expense, more
than made up in the facility of coking,
as the washed coal is all fine and cokes
much more evenly than when in Jumps.
Aside from its value for coking the wash
ed coal is a thoroughly good product for
blacksmith's use. In the forge it makes
hollow fire of great intensity, and is so
perfectly free from cinders and sulphur
that it is suitable for any use required
for general smith work.
This statement is made after using it
for tool dressing and general smith work
in the place of Blossburg coal heretofore
used. For domestic use the washed coal
will be valuable as every pound pur-
chased represents fuel and not rock. The
residue, after combustion, is white ash
with scarcely a trace of clinker. The
wash" above referred to has capacity
of twenty five tons per days, which is
sufficient to demonstrate ON working
scale the practicability of dressing Mon
tena Goals for market, and to revolution
ize the coal trauo -1i d..~-is: lss.~;tnry.

Hard Luck.

Last week we were shown letter to
w. H. Randall from Hiram Faris, of Red
Bluff, in which the writer says: "On
last Sunday we had hail storm which
destroyed everything on the creek. My
crop will be an entire loss. You never
saw anything to equal it, some of the
hailstones were as large as walnuts.
Broke all the window lights in my front
windows, knocked shingles from the roof
and raised sheol generally"
A. w. Scarborough, living on the same
creek, writes that the storm destroyed
every vestige of his crop, killed large
number of sheep, lacerated cattle, killed
one hundred chickens, knocked down a
span of horses, and that the hailstones
were as large as chickens eggs. During
the storm the creek resembled an active
geyser in full motion. All the glass in
his house was DESTROYED.

and owing to the absence of the defend

that Fox is being tried for endeayoring

Bozeman as a smooth-1aced gambler,

We are informed by Engineer ).
Deutsch that the present road to White
Sulphur Springs via Flathead, Black Tau
Pass, the middle fork Of 16-nile creek,
crossing the north fork of 16-mile about
twenty miles from White Sulphur is q
good one, and with the expenditure OF
about 81 900 could be made extraordin-
arily so. Mr.. Deutsch and Ponstord
drove over the entire distance with q
heavy wagon in day anda half, and be-
lieye the distance to be about sixty-elght

to White Sulphur is patent, when i =

ley can obtain $500 for a sack Of potatoes
