PORT sULLY RESERVATION.
Resurvey of the Abandoned Milltar,
Reserve Probable.

Reserve Probable.
Huron, Aug. 31.-By request of ]. l..
Lockhart, state commissioner of school
and public lands, steps are being taken
by h secretary OF the interior for the
survey of the abandoned Fort Sully
military reservation in this state by
United States Surveyor General r. B.
Hughes Of this city.
The reservation as laid out by COM
mand Of General Hancock was created
by executive order of President Grant,
dated December 10, 1876. 1t extended
half a mile westward from the center of
the main channel Of the Missouri river.
On recommendation of General Terry.
by executive order, dated January II,
1875, of President Grant, the reservation
was reduced by emitting the portion
within the Sioux Indian reservation,
treaty of 1868, and its western boundary
thereafter ran at low water mark along
the eastern or left bank of the Missouri
river, thus excluding all islands.
BY the act of March 2. 1889. these
islands, of which Stanley and Oltoboji
are two, became public lands and were
surveyed in the years 1890 and 1881. a
slight modification of the description of
the boundaries of the reservation was
made by executive order of July 30,
1885.
BY executive order, dated November
., 1884, of President Cleveland, the res
ervation was abandoned as q military
post and turned over to the secretary of
the interior. The act of May 2S, 1896, em-
powered the state to select the reserva-
ton as a part of the land granted by the
act of February %, 1889. the selection to
be made lat any time within one year
after the passage of the act, or the APP
prevail of the survey of the said reser-
walton by the secretary of the interior"
Hence the action of Commissioner Lock
hart.
The reservation is situated on the
eastern or left bank of the Missouri
river in Sully county 1t extends about
ten and one-half miles northwesterly
along the river, and has an extreme
width of five and one-half miles, and
contains about $4,000 acres. The sur
face is diversified, being composed of
extensive -timber and meadow bottoms
along the river, and some bluff lane
back of them ascending to two plateaus.
on the lower of which, about 100 feet
above low water mark, is the old Fort
Sully. some twenty miles, as the crow
flies, northwesterly from Pierre.

THERE is LITTLE GOLD THERE
The Ore Found ut Fort Mead Is
SnnrnI

Rapid City, Aug. 3l.-A dispatch of
recent date from Washington tells in
glowing terms that news has just leaked
out at the war department concerning
important discoveries of gold on the
government wood reservation near Fort
Meade. The dispatch would lead the
public to believe that another Klondike
had been discovered. The report is eX-
a~ggerated in the extreme. The exact
size of the wood reservation is two miles
wide and six miles long instead of six
teen miles square. The district has been
known for years to contain gold, but the
very best assays yet made have gone
but SLIGO to the ton, which makes the
land worthless for mining purposes.
