Wo may ex pect that something definite will be ar rived at within the next ten or twelve days, relative to the unceded Indian lands In this Territory. Governor Thayer and Delegate Steele are there, and Wyoming’s interests nro safe in their hands. Whatever may bo the result of the negotiations looking to the surrenderor the Hlack Hills of the Cheyenne by the Indians, we cer tainly shall expect to soon hear that the Indians have given up their hunt ing rights In the country west of their reservation, and extending to the summit of the Big Horn mountains. No prolonged delay will be necessary for this purpose. The consent of the Indians is the only thing required, and this consent should be obtained while the delegation is in Washing ton. They can receive the consider ation agreed upon for this cession of hunting rights, in such form as will he most satisfactory and beneficial to them. —Three desirable city resiliences for sale by Corlett & Stevens. ap27-tf —The Denver News, whicli contin ues to be whut it has been in the past, the echo of the miserable coterie of dis reputable politicians who attempted the rule of this Territory and the ruin of every one who did not second their nefarious and criminal designs, conus to ihe “front”—so to s)>enk —yester- day morning, with an elaborate argu mentation upon the merits of the respective statements of Delegate Steele and Prof. Marsh, relative to the Red Cloud Agency mutters. Laying aside the fact that the Article in ques tion l ears upon its face some evidence of c arrful (?) preparation in Cheyenne, before being sent to Denver for pro mulgation, we can say that neither Col. Steele, Cheyenne or Wyoming need expect to receive from the News any reasonably fair treatment or con sideration in any matter in which they may be concerned. It is not be cause it happens to be Col. Steele and Prof. Marsh that have a disagreement on some matters of detail about the quality of Indian goods distributed last fall; but if it was a disagreement between Col. Steele and old Belial, we might reasonably expect the News to champion the latter. No doubt it would make the best of the worst cause, and tht by argumeat(!) that Be lial was a fine old gentleman of the old school, and will live in the minds and memory of the people when Delegate Steele will have been forgotten. If the News bad the fairness to publish Steele’s answer to Professor Marsh’s letter, in which be corrects the newspaper statements, and Nicho las Jams’ affidavit of the quality of goods delivered at the Red Cloud Agency at the time Prof. Marsh was there, we would cheerfully give it credit. Even if its Cheyenne “writer” had made fuir mention of these in the editorial in question, it would not have damaged the truth in the least. We desire, however, to point out to the News a statement or two which it makes, and which it can correct at leisure. It says: “The Cheyenne Leader, whicli is generally r*»»*op.niy.e<l as Mr Steele’s organ, is making frantic efforts to prove that Prof. Marsh is utterly ig- , norant of Indiun affairs and cannot even tell w hat lie saw at the agencies, but that Mr. Steele knows all about tilings, and that he is the white souled gentleman that is needed for the occasion.” 1. The Leader is not generally re cognized as Mr. .Steele’s organ ; it is not so recognized at all ; it is not Mr. Steele’s organ, and never was; it is the organ of no one hut the editor, and is controlled by no clique of scurvy malignant* ; is not afraid to do justice to Mr. Steele or any other gen tleman in or out of political position, because he happens to be a Democrat. The Leader, however, is an “organ,” ! and unlike the News, it correctly and faithfully, represents ti>e Republican party and President Grant’s adminis tration. In this Territory it repre- j sents Republicans, os contradistin guished from a few of the same kidney as the News , who have nought to pros- ! titute the party to the same hose pur poses that they have prostituted them selves. 2. We have not nought to prove that Prof. Marsli was utterly ignorant of Indian airairs. No such thing! We have sought to show that he knew, or j ought to liuve known a good deal übout Indian affairs—that he had splendid and ample opportunities to know* a good deal about them. But we have sought to show that he did not make truthful statements about them (and in this respect lie resembles the Neies very much). We showed by the sworn stutenient of Nicholas Junta that Prof. Marsh’s statements were incorrect—to say the very least. His lnuendo in reference to the character of the people of Cheyenne, was unjust ; and ungeiitlenianly, and his reputa tion as a professor of Yale College only aggravated the imputation, ’fills feature of his statement gave delight, no doubt, to the News, and is the chief j reason of its admiration for the pro- j fessor. — Certified Abstracts of lot titles ] promptly furnished by niHif Corlett <fc Stevens. 'J —There nre a larijo number of men here now, who have left th*»ir avoca tions and homes, destined for the Powder river, Tongue river, and Rosebud sections of country—that is, the country popularly known and meant ns the ‘‘Bin Horn country.” The existence of gold in many places in it. is well known. Capt. Reynolds nnd I.icut. Maymulier found jrold to the Rip; Horn Mountains in ’59-’6O, when prosecuting' their topographical surveys of tlint country for the War Department. The famous Jim Bridg er repeatedly declared that he knew of places in the Uig Horn Mountains that were rich in gold. Beauvais, an old mountain trader, now living at St. Joe, Mo., states substantially the same thing. Capt. “Bob” Bailey, well known in ’C7-’(iß hero, and who had prospected in those mountains in ’65, stated unequivocally that there were good placer diggings within thirty-five miles of Fort plid Kear ney, and as rich quartz veins as he ever saw anywhere. Jeff Stand ifer, a well known Indian fighter, moun taineer, and prospector, who died at Fort Steele in October last, gave it as Iris opinion, from what lie knew of the country, that there was a gold hearing belt of about one hundred miles in length, by an average of thirty in width, that would prove of great richness in both placer and quirtz claims. Those who knew him will assert that lie was a good prospector, and had an extended ex perience in the art. The Sioux pre vented him from making any thorough explorations of ths Uig Horn country. One of our citizens, John Phillips, of the Chugwater, pros pected on a fork of the Powder river, some thirty’ miles away from Fort Phil Kearusy, in a southwest direc tion, and lie asserts that twenty and twenty-five dollar diggings exist there beyond a doubt. Mr. Phillips is an old experienced miner having mined in California, Oregon, on the Colum bia river, at Oro Fino, Salmon river, Boise Basin, and through Montana. There are in this Territory a large number of persons who have per sonal knowledge ot the existence of gold in tiie Big Horn country. From Fort Fetterman to the south ern extremity of this gold field the distance in a straight west of north line, will not exceed one hundred and twenty-five miles. *The road, we are assured, is a good one, and from twenty-five to thirty miles a day can readily be made with teams. It will not be necessary to go so high up the Platte river as Fetterman to cross it. It can be crossed about twenty-five or thirty miles lower down, at what was formerly known as old Bor deaux’s ferry, near the mouth of the Labonte. On the opposite side will be found a road leading to old Fort Reno, and thence on to Phil Kearney. The time that it will take to roach tliis country from Cheyenne with teams, will be from twelve to four teen days; and once reached, the firld is an tensive one to prospect and It is quite certain it will be a profitable one.
