BATTLES OF 9TH CAVALRY
General Clusters Regiment Had Many
Thrilling Fights With indians
From 1872 to 1875.

In 1872 the Seventh United States
cavalry had been scattered through
seven states in the south serving as
constabulary\ TO aid the officers in the
reconstruction policy, says the Nation
al Tribune in response to query. The
threatening attitude of the Sioux in
Dakota called for cavalry and the
Seventh was sent thither Gen S. D.
Sturgis, the colonel of the regiment,
was assigned to duty at st. Paul,
Mimi, and Major Reno with one squad
ron was detailed for escort duty with
the boundary commission. The rest of
the regiment went to Yankton, and
then under Lieutenant General Custer
reported to General Stanley at Fort
Rice, where it was assigned to duty in
protecting the surveyors of the North
ern Pacific railroad. The column left
Fort Rice June "a, and August Gen
eral Custer had a fight with 300 Indi-
ans near what was afterwards Fort
keogh and drove the Indians from the
field by charge. The next day the
Indians killed the sutler, veterinary
surgeon and one enlisted man. August
IL the Indians attacked the regiment
while in camp on the Yellowstone, but
were driven off and then pursued eight
miles. The regiment lost one officer
and two men wounded and one man
killed. The Indian loss was 40 killed
and wounded.
In June, 1874, Custer went out from
Fort Abraham Lincoln 10 reconnoiter
the country, and spent 60 days in this.
In September, 1874, six troops under
Major Lewis Merrill were sent to the
department of the gulf, where they re-
manned until the spring of 1876. Then
all the troops of the regiment were
concentrated at Fort Lincoln to join
Terrys column against the Sioux. The
column left Fort Lincoln May II, and
June % the trail of large body OF
Indians was discovered on Rosebud
river, and Custer was sent with his
regiment to follow this. The scouts
reported that a large camp had been
discovered in the valley of the Little
Big Horn. In order to prevent the es-
cape of the Indians Custer decided to
attack at once, and divided his regi-
ment into three squadrons, one of five
troops, which he commanded, and the
others of three troops each, to be COM
manded by Reno and Benteen. Reno
was given the advance, while Benteen
was sent off to the left and south.

To soften small files cover them
with oil and hold them over a

as the flame runs all over the

To thaw out frozen water pipes

The copper and tin are melted

To cut thin brass, first draw a

Hardening an ordinary drill in
sulphuric acid makes an edge
that will cut tempered steel or
facilitate cutting hard rock. The
acid should be poured into flat
bottomed vessel to a depth of
about one-eighth of an inch. The
point of the drill is heated to a
dull cherry red, and dipped in
the acid to the depth. This
makes the point extremely hard,
while the rest remains soft. If
the point breaks, reharden, but
with little less acid in the
vessel. After hardening drill
! in this manner, wipe off the
acid, if any remains on the point
of the drill, before it attacks the
metal and destroys the cutting
edge.

Aug. 10th.
LOTS OF ORE CONTRACTED
Large Quantities of Concen-
trates Now st Plant.

Work on the Elk City RedYc-
tion plant is progressing very
satisfactory, and as soon as the
machinery ordered arrives it will
be put in place, and it is the in
tention to have one unit of the
plapt in operation by the 20th of
this month.
The material for the roaster
has been shipped, and amounts
to about eight tons, and INCLUDES
besides the furnace and special
tiling for lining, wooden and
iron vats and one lead vat, 1t is
the intention to put this machi-
merry in place as soon as it arrives
and start to treating concentra-
tes, of which a large quantity
are now on hand. There are
enough concentrates in this Sec
ton, that will be brought ip to
keep this department of the
plant busy for some time.
The machinery to complete the
mill has all been ordered, anc
will be put in place as fast as il
arrives, so that it is expected tx
have the mill completed read,
to treat ore by the first of Sep
tember.
Manager Tytler states tina
several operators in the Ten Mile
district have made arrangement,
to have a large tonnage treatet
| at the plant, not only as a test
but it is thought that some of th'
ore can be handled to good ad
vantage by this process.
In the last few days seVera
contracts have been made witt
parties who are now developing
properties, by which a very larg
tonnage can be secured, and it i
, now assured that there will b
plenty of ore when the plant get
!, in full running order.

Development Showing up
Good Ore.
BUILDING ROAD ER0M RIVER
Mills Will Be Installed This
Season.

Engineer w. C, McNutt who
visited the Ten Nile country last
week reports considerable acti-
witty in the district and all the
properties where work is being
prosecuted, looking better with
every foot of development.
A chillian mill of Bottoms capa-
city has been purchased for the !
Buckhorn property, and will be
installed as soon as the wagon
road can be completed to the
property from the South Fork
river where it now terminates.
This company is at present driv-
ing a tunnel on the mill level and
will tap the main ore shoot be-
tween 200 and 300 ft. in depth.
There has been uncovered anr
other ore shoot to the west OF
the present workings, which will
be tapped by the new tunnel at
a depth of about 100 it. This
shoot shows some excellent ore
on the surface, and if it increases
in value and size like the one de-
veloped by the upper tunnel it
will show this property up to be
second to none in the district.
The present mill will be run by
water power which it is proposed
to develop from the two forks of
Buckhorn creek for which a
water right has been obtained,
but the company intend to in
stall electrict power as soon as
obtainable, should future devel-
opment prove that greater mill
ing facilities will be required,
which, judging from present in
. dications, will very likely be the
case.
The Wander Group.
The Wander group situated
about three-quarters of a mile
west of the Buckhorn, is being
developed by a system of drifts
and tunnels in very systematic
manner, and very rich ore is be-
ing exposed where the vein is
cut. The ore is very free II
character and assays and mil
tests show the values to run very
high in free gold. The new tun
mel which has just been started
and on which work is progressing
very satisfactorily, will open
new level 100 ft. below the. pres
ent workings and tap the vein a
a depth of some $50 #. There
will be enough ore developed tt
justify the installation Of a re
duction plant of considerable
capacity.

very satisfactorily. The or

The postoffice Of Golden whicha
Is conducted by A. S. Johnson
who also conducts a general
merchandise store and hotel, is
situated in the center of this
very promising mineral belt in
which the Franklin group, ex-
tending one half mile north. from
Golden, is situated. This group
is owned by Messrs johnson,
Cooper and Brown, and consists
of IL claims, all of which have
excellent mineral showings which
have been developed by tunnels,
shafts and open cuts, disclosing
veins ranging from a to IL #. in
width. On this property has
been exposed some very high
grade lead-teluride ore which
carry gold values running into
the hundreds.
The development on the Har-
mon and Morrow property proves
conclusively that it requires a
practical miner to develop a pros
pect into a mine. The owpers
have run a drift on the vein 100
#. lower than the Bradley tunnel
which followed q stringer out
into the country, and have un-
covered a large body of the same
class of high-grade ore for which
this property is famous. The
property is now under bond tc
New York parties and further
development work will commence
very soon. The bonding com
pany have purchased a mill site
on the river near the property
and the installation of reduc'
ton plant will be a part of thu
plans of the company.

MINERAL EXHIBIT
SPOKANE FAIR
Will Be on Larger Scale Than
FOrmerly.

The mineral exhibit at the
Spokane Interstate Fair promises
to be the most elaborate exhibit
ever held in the northwest. To
meet the conditions no expense
will be spared, and new and
larger quarters have been secur-
ed. AS the management are
making arrangements to have all
the districts in the northwest
represented, it is now time for
the prospectors of Central Idaho
to commence to get their samples
together with a view of making
a display. At the fair last year
Central Idaho had the best dis
play of gold ore at the exposi-
tion and was awarded a silver
cup and several medals. This
year an exhibit could be sent
that would be much superior to
that of last year, as at several
different prospects that have
been opened up the past year,
ore could be procured that
would make a most creditable
showing.
