BISMARCK HOTELS.
XheFboenizei Hotel. A Gco2 House?
-well Patronized.
It is our purpose to write up, from
time to trae, the several Hotels in Bis
niarefc to the end that the travelingpublie
may become posted as to the accommo
dations offered. Though Bismarck has
ever had good hotels, until new there
hias been a-lack of hotel accommoda
tions, but the wantfcill soon be •fully
met, and vrts most seriously'felt after
the destruction of the Western and
Miners' Hotels fn March last.
The reconstruction af those houses
was immediately cc^Jircs-nced,, and 'last
week the Western was opened to tbe
public by its enterprising proprietors.
The new hoace, much larger and every
way better adapted to ike hotel custom
of the efty. which has risen from the
ashes of the eld, is 24x130, two story,
with o£Gce 24x25, dining rooa
24x30, with a^'arge and, in every -re
spect, well .arranged kitchen, -with
pantry, and three family recess on tbe
first floor. A'ladies' parlor aad sleep
ing accommodations for a large num
ber of guests will be found abwe. The
basement is 22s3o, well lighted -and
•rentilated, is used for tbe bar the re
•mainder for a wine cellar. In rear -of
'fills is a cammedious, vegetable-cellar
{Though the Western Hotel a much
larger than the 4»id, its proprietors^find
that Chey ltave oo little r^oot, and
eostemplate budding an Addition
oc the lot adjoining, which
will enable theot to accommodate a
largely increased, number of guests.
Atithe present Ht&e tbey have seventy
five regular boarders and their pro
portion of the transient bote! oustness
of the city, and entertain their guestsi
handsomely. The W-estern is centrally:
located—directly opposite the depot—I
and it i« weli manage*! by enterprising
and public-spirited men who thorough-:
ly understand their besiness. At the:
time of the Ore the Western bed notj
less than sixty-five regalar boarders,
and it wiil bi seen that thay hold rheir
own and are gaining, as s.hey certaialy
deserve to do.
Destitute of Metalic Sa&staaccs.
A black-eyed chap was prancing
around'town last night informing all
he chanced to meet, if they happened
to look like a Quartermaster, that he
was destitute of metalic substances
and wanted a situation, as cook, on tbe
expedition. He informed. Tiieut. Chubb
that Gen. Card had reserved a place for
hita, and was told he had bast be on
hand to take the Rankin on the arrival,
of the train in the ovening,, if that was
the case. He was there, and, after
making numerous gestures that seemed
to have no. relation, to the subject, said
on a steamboat or. somewhere. Deem*
ing this a sufficient recommendation
Col. Lee presented him to Capt. Heint
zelman, but Heintzelman could not ap-
Xeciate his worth, and when last
^ard from the disappointed .destitute
talked of cleaning out the whole mili
tary outfit, metals or no metals, but
went off in search of Chubb, or metals,
or something, the* absence of which
seemed to worry him.
BLACK ^mixs MINES.
of a
Knows oftiie
the pasSefigers by the -frst
Deadwood stage Vaa Dan Costello, of
rRfcine, Wis., who went to the Hills
some months ago in charge of a quartz
miller.the Racine. Mining Company.
Theirs was the first stamp which.fell in
the: Hills, and Mr. Costello informs ns
thjat .their mill has- crusted quartz for
altnost every well4tnown lode in the
Hills. While "he does ndt think the
Hills full of bonanzas, and- is not satis
field with the placer mines, he was on
his way east for new and improved ma
chinery aqd trill return in a few" weeks
with a thirty stamp mill to take the
place ef bis present ten stamp machine.
While Mrj, Costello does not believe
that the immense wealth exists in the
Sills which some people expect to find
lying around loose, and within their
grasp without an expensive effort and
without fatiguing labor, he does be*
fieve the mine in which he is at work
wjll yield this season $75,000 over and
tkoove expenses, and may yield much
more than that as the quartz grows
richer as the mine is developed, and Jae
says he knows of no business that will
yield to capital so good returns. He
finds little encouragement for labor,
hovtever, and says the Hills are over
run with idle men, the great mass of
whom are ,/jrithout mining or other
frontier experience, and'many of them
without a dollar. That this is so he
does not blame the country, for the
saiae state of affairs has existed in all
mining countries. He believes the
Hills will' settle up permanently with a
bijave and.
industrious people and will

wealth as well as their'mineral resour

OASTONJCENT AT TOHOUB BIVEB,
M.
T.,
May 16th, 1877.—A command from this
cantonment that left here on the 1st
inst.,. comprising Co's F, J, fi and L,
2d cavalry, and Go's and H, 5th Inf'y,
and E, F, and H, 22d infantry, after
marchiog up: Tongue Siver some 70
miles, left tbe wagon train under guard
olthpge companies of infantry and pro
ceieded with pack animals through a
pass across the Rosebud. This command
subsequently again divided, leaving
the infantry column with the majority
of the pack animals, and, flying-light,
proceeded by forced asarches, noctur
nally and diurnally, by a circuitous
route to Muddy Greek, an affluent of
the Rosebud, where, eo the morning of
the 7th, they surprised and captured
Lame.Deer'a cans of SI .lodges. This
victorious command consisted of Com
panies F, Q, aad I, 2d cavalry, under
Capt. Ball, and a detachment of mount
ed infantry under Lieat. Casey, Gen.
-Miles being the head, and front of the
offeoaive party. Tbe route was complete.
The chief, Lame Deer, a head warrior,
and Iron Star being among the slain,
and oumbera of tbe Indian dead Cthese
among them) were left on the field.
Tbe entire camp, utensile, parapbena
lite, and about 450 boraes, mules and
ponies were captured, and utter de
moralization resulted to this band of
Indians, accounted one of tbe worst
and most formidable now ^hostile.
Gen. Miles bad a narrow escape from
tbe beligerent attentions of Lame Deer
and Iron Star, who fired, three times at
him at only a few rods distance, and
while be was endeavoring to effect a
pacific .adjustment of tbe difficulty.
These chiefs, and two others present,
were fairly riddled with balls. The
soldiers fought gallantly and performed
excellent service, following tbe General
in every charge and thoroughly ful
filling tbe Ifileaian
maxim at a fair,
"Where you see a head, hit it." It is
estimated tbat bout 40 warriors were
night succeeding the fight, and many
were wounded and killed by the picket
line in the endeavor. Our loss is as
follows:
^Private Cba*. A. Martlndale and frank Glaclco
tray, Co. F, 2d Cavalry, and Peter Lonya and
Chae. ffhrenger, Co. H, 9d Cavalry, were killed.
2d Lieut. A. M. Toller, 2d Cavalry, wounded in

fessed aoirender of tbe Indians on tbe bill).

their horses during the charge up the
valley, being for a distance of five miles.
The Indians were taken bv complete
surprise. Their loss has been very se
vere, both in life and property, and the
elect of this
most
successful affair can
not but be very salutary upon the re
maining hostiles.
A portion of the command remains
on the Rosebud to occupy that section,
and the remainder returned here for
additional supplies to prosecute the
campaign. Four companies of the otn
infantry are being mounted upon cap
tured stock, and will therefore be en
abled to chase Indians with hope of
overtaking them and not being hamper-,
ed in successful operations, by lack of
means to complete a victorious engage
ment.

EDITOR BISJIABCK TRIBUNE:—Allow
me a small space in your paper for the
benefit of the public. T. B. Nason, of
Minneapolis, who is about thirty-eight
year of age, with light complexion, light
blue eyes, a bald head, and broad shoul
ders, of medium height and about one
hundred and eighty pounds weight,
stole money out of one of my money
drawers at this post. Some of said
money was found upon him by the sher
iff three hours after it was taken. Pos
itive proof of this was placed before
the Grand Jury at the present term of
court held at Fargo. Notwithstanding
all this, no bill was found against him,
but the. court would not allow him to
be released and ordered th'at be should
renew his bond to appear at the next
term of court which shows that the
court thought that he should have been
indicted.
When Grand Juries fail to indict for
crimes of this kind, business men owe
it to themslves as a protection to one
another to publish to the world the true
character of such men as this man
Nason, and I hereby caution all per
sons to look out for him as a dangerous
man in any community, and it is to be
hoped for tbe sake of the* country that
such grand juries are few. and far be
tween. Wk.

Friday's stage from Deadwood arri
ved at Bismarck in forty-six hours,
bringing Ban Costello, N. B. Harwood,
Mr. Dulkin, Geo. Rugg, Jas. Hamilton,
Geo. W. Ross, Henry Ro&s, W. H.
Hatch and R. R. Marsh. The paasen
gers all commend the Bismarck route
and sa7 no one who has traveled tbia
route will ever take any other. Dan
Costello, of Racine, "Wis., who wssoP
the party, speaks of the conntry as
being a most excellent one—a paradise
in comparison with the plains of sand
south of tbe Hills. A luxuriant
growth of grass covers tbe plains, and
Costello says every foot of land between
Bismarck and the foot hills is adapted
to agricultural purposes and believes!,
that no better stock region can 'ju
found in the West. Costello's mining
operations are noted elsewhere, also
his impressions of the Hills.

The Deadwood
Business here is very good everyone
is at work, and some are making'mone*
very fast You cannot imagine, nor can
I describe or give any idea of the busy,
active city of Deadwood. It beats
every
thing. There is not room in the city a
put up a tent The streets are as much
crowded as Broadway, N. Y., and even
one moving as rapidiy. The miners are
hard at work in the very center of »h«
city, the hills are covered with men, all
working away at their claims. One old
German we came across was diggiy^ on
quartz which was very rich. He hid
guard over the pile of rock, which i.
ued at $50,000, and still producing »»ie
precious stuff. Old Montana and Cay
fornia miners claim that the g/Id here
excels anything in either Montana
California. Silver mines of immense va
ue have been opened up, and one
is said to be the richest in the i.
water is too high for heavy mi 11
many claims are idle in consequ
