broken ground for their new warehouse
which will be located on the track just
west of the present R. R. warehouse. It
will be 24x60 feet and will cost about
two thousand dollars, making a very
respectable appearance.
People are becoming impatient that
the notice of meeting for the election of
townsite commissioners is not given and
can see no good reason for the delay.
The Mayor is absent and no mayor pro
tem.having been elected is presumed tobe
the cause of the delay.
It seems it was Justus Emeluth, in­
stead of Burke, of the Black Hills Tri­
bune, who was probably killed by In­
dians, Burke had been out sometime
surveying, and after the Indian raid, of
August 20th, Emmeluth went out to
search for Burke and was himself lost.
Col. E. M. Brown has. bean appointed
agent for the sale of railroad lands in
this vicinity and has plats showing
vacant lots. An examination of the
plats shows that the railroad company
have disposed of about sixteen thousand
acres of land in this vicinity. What
steps have been taken toward placing
this land on the tax rolls? Has the
townsite property been placed on the
tax rolls, or can it be? These are ques­
tions that should be looked into. It is
time now to commence looking after our
public interests.
Capt. Braithwaite says that John H.
Charles, of Sioux City, and A. II. Wil­
der, of St. Paul, have purchased the
steamers Mead, Peninah and Fonten
£lle,'of the Kountz Line, and the steam­
wKMWwwfleegm
ers Nellie and C. K. Peck, of Col. Peck
and associates, for the purpose of carry­
ing Indian freights this fall, and for
work on the Missouri hereafter. The
boats, whether purchased or otherwise,
with their Silver Lake, gives them a
line of six steamers equal to almost any
emergency if properly handled.
Business of all kinds at Bismarck is
improving. Those here without excep­
tion are doing well and new houses are
being opened. Last week we noted the
opening of John Whalen's establish­
ment, flour, feed, and commission.
This week we have to note the arrival
of Geo. Bending & Co., wholesale liquors
and cigars, and a large clothing estab­
lishment is being talked of Many of
the buildings throughout the city are
being improved in external and internal
appearance, new sidewalks are being
built, verandas and awnings put up, &c.
The appearance of the town has im­
proved immensely during the present
season, and the question is no longer
asked what is there to sustain Bismarck?

BLACK HILLS.
Krambcr and Length of (lulclies
and otlier Points of Interest.
Mr. J. P. K. Miller, of Miller & Mc
Pherson, Black Hills traders, is in the
city and is loading train of about 30
wagons with i^oods for their house at
Deadwood. The tram will leave on
Thursday. Mr. Miller has the greatest
confidence in the Hills and in Dendwood
and we are indebted to him for the tol
lowing statement of the number and
length of paying gulches which are di­
rectly tributary to Deadwood City, and
Deadwood, under proper encouragement
from the N. P., is directly tributary to
Bismarck as it 's one hundred miles
nearer Bismarck than any other rail­
road point, with a better road than
to any other.
The gulches are as follows:
Name.' Length.
Red Water 75 miles
Sank Creek 9
Maiiory 1
Fear 8
Nigger 1
Beaver 6
Potato 4
Spearfish 30
Little Spearfl3h 10
Iron Creek 8
Deer Creek 2
False Bottom 20
Wliitewood .25
Deadwood 8
Gold Run... 7
Black Tail 2
Bob Tail 2
Total 212
Deadwood, Mr. Miller says, is a city
of 1,500 people and on Sundav the streets
are literally thronged with miners from
the neighboring gulches. Mr. Miller
says it is the best town he-ever saw built
upin one season in a mining or any other
country and the buildings are of the
best character. In and about Deadwood,
in the gulches mentioned, Mr. Miller
says there are half as many people as
there is in Montana and yet the North
Pacific is doing absolutely nothing—
nothing to adyertise its advantages
among dealers in the Hills and to turn
the tide of trade this way, though they
seem willing to spend millions and to
make any concession in order to get the
Montana trade which is worth less to
them. Mr. Miller believes a million
dollars have been taken out of Dead
wood gulch alone this season. He
knows of his p&rsonal knowledge of one
claim that has yielded eighty thousand
dollars, while tt*e yield is believed to
have been much greater. Othe^1 claims
are pajing from
ods
tea
lo
hundred
dollars per day, and occasionally one
a? high as twenty-fire hundred dollars.
I£p believes the placer mines of the
Black Hills will next season give em­
ployment to ten thousand men, not to
speak of the immense fields of quartz.
He showed the writer one piece of quarts
which is estimated to yield $16,000 to
the ton much of the quartz yields $5,-J
000 $1,000 to the ton is near the
average of the paying leads. He says
the Hills are full of bonanzas and is as­
tonished, as are the traders in the hills
who are favorably inclined to the N. P.,
that that road will allow the Union Pa­
cific to walk off with the immense traffic
growing out of these facts without a
struggle.
