THE RUSH TO THE BLACK HILLS.
interesting facts as to' the excite
' mext doubts as to the tresexce
of gold ix tayixu quantities. .
From the Denver Col.) News.
A party of 400 strong will leave Chicago
on March 13 for the -Black llills. - The
expedition has beeu formed by James
Conklin, who accompanied Professor Jen
ney last season. The secretary of the com
pany has received 2,300 letters of inquiry
since the announcement of its organization.
The party travel through to Cheyenne by
special train, and arrangements have been
t-onijileted with the railroads to transport
the men from Chicago to the Hills for $26
apiece.
A letter from Milwaukee says that a
prosperous storekeeper intends leaving his
business and leading a party, who will start
on April 2, going via Cheyenne. The
main company consists of men in the fol
lowing professions : Two physicians, one
veterinary surgeon, one druggist, two as
surers, twenty carpenters, three black
smiths, several grocers, a number of farm
ers, one clothier, a dry goods dealer, a coa
dealer, together with intelligent, indus
trious laborers, and half a dozen old miners
who have been in Nevada, Arizona, Color
udo and California, and who feel they are
Forty-niners again. The entire party will
probably embrace not fewer than from 300
to 400 men. One gentleman, will take a
sawmill. Another proposes to trasport a
shingle mill to the laud of golden sand.
Messrs. Stubbs and Thompson have re
turned to Laramie from the hills, and re
port lively times at Custer City. Just be
fore they left a wedJing took place at Cus
ter City the first to occur in that region.
The parties were "William Ilardosty and
Miss Ida Simms, both late of Cheyenne
MeMS. Stubbs and Thompson also report
that the first steam whistle ever sounded
i:i that section was heard on February G.
It was a saw-mill whistle.
A. L Jones of Golden, now iu Custer
fit', writes a letter from which we extract
as follows : '"I have been prospecting every
day and have found some gold, but as yet
nothing that will pay. The snow has been
very deep and everything is frozen up.
There eems to be gold all over the country,
but not in p::ying quantities. About forty
miles from here are some good diggings,
we hear. At this place the bed rock is
from eighteen to twenty-five feet, and no
gold till you reach bed rock, and then it is
not very plenty. I have found some about
f ur feet from the surface, but not in pay
ing quantities. After I try the Deadwood
and Dry wood diggings, if I find them no
letter than these, I will be ready to leave
tliis country."
A parry of twenty, mostly coal miners,
will start from Medicine Bow, on the Union
l'acifie. next Monday for the gold fields.
They will take route or trail rather, through
Sabilie Canyon, which is reported to be free
Jffsij.jW.
J ales ivjofiey, a Wyoming pioneer, thinks
Custer City will be the cornmcrical and
1 1 ill vo the mining town of the Hills, their
relations to each other being about the same
lis Denver and Central Citv.
Judge Kuy Jen Jail writes an interesting
letter from Custer City to the Cheyenne
Leader. lie says, among other things,
that only a few claims are now being work
ed at that place. Quartz indications are
good all over the country. Kich discoveries
are reported on Deadwood and Whitewood
creeks, seventy miles north ot Custer Cit
In soma localities the bed rock is near the
.surface : in others it is very deep. "Washed
gravel, black sand and rubies, white and
variegated, abound. One hundred and
iifty houses will be completed in Custer
City bv March 1. Some of the buildings
sire substantial structures. I X ill City al
ready numbers fifty cabins and 100 inhabi
tants. The judge says he is satisfied with
the country and Intends to stay there.
