To Hir Editor of Ths Tribunt.
Chicago, Oct. s.—Four years ago the Black
Hills region was a terra Incognita. Some daring
miners had Indeed penetrated to the depths of
Its forests, and turned up Its golden soil with
their spades. But no member of the adventur
ous band ever returned to tell the talc of their
gold-discoveries. A few yellow nuggets In the
hands of Indians, taken from the massacred
whites, alone remained to testify to tho desper
ate risks men will run In the pursuit of tho
precious metals. Down lo tho time of the Cus
ter expedition the legendary stories In regard to
gold-deposits In the Black Hills were treated
with tho contempt usually accorded to legends
In this age of Iron, steam, and electricity. Be
lievers In the existence of rich mineral-deposits
In the Black Hills were confined to a small
coterie of army-ofllccrs, who, through being
stationed on the frontier, had had long
and familiar intercourse with the Indians. I
now recall a conversation on the subject with
(len. Sheridan, which occurred about four years
ago, In the course of which he gave a very de
cided expression of his news, showing a deep
seated conviction that rich discoveries would
shortly bo made In the “ new ” country. Ho
hod often met and conversed with Father Do
Smet, tho venerable Jesuit priest, tho trusted
friend of tho Indians, and who, of all while
men, alone know the secrets of the “ Hills.”
The prophesies of omiv-oUlcers were verified;
GOLD DI3COVBUIBB WBKB MADE
the fraternity of miners rushed to the "Hills,"
built cabins, digged ditches, and panned
out the “color"-dirt with greater or less aw
cess. Then followed the more Intelligent "pros
pector," who looked for gold-bearing quartz in
the huge ledges of rock which everywhere crop
out ou tlie precipitous sides of the young mount
ains , called " Hills." Following the quartz
prospcctnr came the quartz-mil!,—a huge ma
chine for stamping out the precious dust, from
the crevices, seams, and bony fibre of tlio rockr
These hunters of gold’ required food
and raiment; and the merchant is
only n shade less daring than the miner.
He will follow the miner Into the very Jaws of
death. Bo tlio miners, the merchants, the spec
ulators, and their camp-followers, budded
houses and shops; and towns grew up like
mushrooms lu the gulches of the Hills,—Dead
wood Lily, Lead City, Central City, Crook City.
Ana very soon 8,000 or 10,000 people had col
lected together in the far-off frontier gold for

When the coach readied the first station there

A ncsit FOB TEIUIA PIIIMA.
We (tramped about like a parecl'ofl school
liots, stretching our legs and liking the curva
tures out of our spines, In the course of the
five minutes consumed In (hanging horses.
The stations consist of a house and a stable,
flanked hy huge stacks of hav. They are con
structed of sod; the house divided Into three
compartments,—sleeping and sitting-room,
dining-room, and kitchen. There arc fifteen of
these stations, each as tike the other as two
peas. These stations are all owned bv the Stage
Company, and conducted by cmulmos of the
Company. It Is to this fact, perhaps; that tho
tine owes Its exemption from molestation hy
“road agents.”—rubbers. Tho stations on tho
other lines are owned hy private Individuals, and
It Is suspected that. In some instances, they urn

the “plains ”
hare been described a Hundred times. We
passed over a. section of what was fonncrlr in
scribed on the maps ns tlio "Great American
Desert." But the army officer and the Iron*
liersman dispelled that Illusion; they found
the desert of the gcographeracovercd with a car*
pet of nutritious trasses, embroidered with
{lowers, (ho country U almost treeless, and
bleak enoairh, with a lack of water; but. with
the exception of a dozen miles of bad
alkali lauds, there Is good grazing cvrrv*
where, and the numerous valleys through
which the road winds are tortile and susceptible
of cultivation. The wave of advancing popula
tion now flows over and bovoud it to better
lands; but, eventually, then! will bo a reflex
movement, wbk-h will people this vast region,
it will be spanned by railways; It will bo planted
with forests: Its soil will be turned over by the
husbandman’s plow; and the climatic chances
which follow In the truck of civilization will
supply what Is wauling now to make It a habit
able country.
There Is little fitness In the term " plains "
as applied to the region we traversed. It Is a
succession of hills, vallurs. and buttes; the lat
ter often rising. In long ranees, to a consider
able attitude, green to the top,—resembling, at
a distance, a closely shaven lawn. The views
are monotonous, but the monotony Is constantly
varied as the point of view Is changed by the
rapid progress of the coach. Thu olfcct Is far
from dismal, like that of a dead pralrle-luvet;
on the contrary, it Is grand, mid even ex
hilarating, kindling the Imagination and Inspir
ing lofty thoughts.
A MfIHT OS TUB PLAINS.
At tlio end of twelve hours,—# o’clock In the
evening of the first day out,—wo, the devoted
nine, had, so to speak, “trot on our sea-legs,”
so that wo could dismount from the coach
without doubling uo amt tumbling down.
The supper was not over nice; Out the bracing
air and the jolting coach snarpencd our oppe
tiles, und wo devoured with a keen relish food
that, under other circumstances, would hove
been disdained. Ido not wish to bo misunder
stood: The table-fare at all the stations on the
line is as good os eould bo expected,—lar but
ler, 1 am tuld, than on tho other stage-lines;
but it Is not by any moans what city-bred peo
ple arc accustomed to. When wo emerged from
tho dining-room of the “ turf ” hotel, the shades

. Ing bflirhtl.v,,lho messenger and driver were in
their places ou tho box,' 'und tho coachman,
after the manner of all coachmen from tho earli
est ages, cracked bis whip, ami tho coach whirled
rapidly away Into the darkness. There was ab
solute silence In thu couch: there was a dead at
mospheric calm,—not thu lightest breeze
stirred the coarse grasses ami sutre-brnsli
fringing tho rood-way. The vast landscape lav
cold under tho stars, spread out before us,
around us, enfolding us ou every bund, com
pelling a sense of utter loneliness beyond all
powers of description of pen or pencil; and
when, an hour later, the moon rose clear and
lull ou the eastern horizon, lighting up the
scene, it had all the force and effect of an
original act In the grand drama of the Creation,
ilut with the rising of the moon there was a
sharp change in the atmosphere; It grow sud
denly chill; the wind ruse rapidly; there were
low mutterings of thunder hi the far-western
distance, and the landscape was Illuminated by
llashesof lightning. We drew down the can

Before midnight thcro was a heavy shower of
rain, mingled with hall. Thu rain poured In

covering of (ho coach. Wo were a sorry party.
At the stations wo climbed out of thu coach
and huddled aboutlhestuvu in the waiting-room,
or walked Into thu stable stamping our feet and
thrashing ogr hands. Alter each station tlm
Culitornla gentleman regaled the party with
songs, In the choruses of which all Joined. But
soon the songs died away, and thu Hashes of
lightning, which combined at Intervals, revealed
to view wiiuld the coach a collection of par
tially-animated mummies. No man knew his
own legs Irom thu legs of his neighbors,—thu
leg* of thu whole party being packed away
without regard to ownership on the floor of thu
coach, which was covered with a stratum of
lunch-baskets, hand-satchels, blankets, extra
overcoats, and bottles. When the coach lurched,
thu mummies bobbed about as If nungon wires;
but their feel remained lust. Bomo woke with
a start, straightened themselves up, and stared
about Idiotically; others tumbled over Into the
arms of their opposite neighbors; still others
bumped their head* unmorcUully against the
wooden stanchions of tbu coach, and moaned
with bahi. The German, who was a heavy man,
rested Ids bead coulldhiglv on my shoulder: the
Swede gouged bla elbow Into my ribs:
thu solid man from Dcadwood stuck his head
Into the small of my back; sod 1, lu turn,

plained bitterly of the hardships of thu Jour

on a beautiful stretch of table-land at Its base.
I had decided to spend o day at this camp and

out of the coach, bade my companions good

U the commercial centre ul the Block Hills, it

theatres, usncc-houses, gambling-houses, so*
loons without number, and a Chinese quarter as
degraded and vile, on a miniature scale, as that
of Hun Francisco. But it also boast* three
banks, scores of first-class mercantile houses,
hotels, of whieti the Welch House U eblcl,

excellent attorneys m L)eaU wood,—several for
merly prominent In Illinois,—ami they seem to

tricts is always extensive, unu to this rule the
Black Hills district furnishes no exception.

Il ls a common Impression that the placer
mining of the Hills Is exhausted; that it. In

" hat do the ores yield per ton I Those arc nice
questions, am], unfortunately, In the Hills, a»
n all mining districts, the dilllcuUlcs Involved
In their solution multiply In the ratio ol the
progress of development. For instance: if the
oru of a certain mine Increases In richness, and
the ledge expands, so to speak, as tlw work of
opening” progresses, the owner’s “faith”
In the district strengthens, and they desire
to acquire more “claims.” From that moment
they oecome hears in the claims market. They
become reticent, and conceal their operations
from the public. If, on the other hand, a mine
shows a decreasing product per ton, or a stead
ily-narrowing ledge, or turns out to be nothing
but a “pocket.” or “deposit,” the owners de
. sire to sell. 1 hey also become rctlccut, but they
are none the less bulls lit the market, Between
these two parties, what Is the investor to do I
Both are playing a game,—the game of trade.
Both seek to deceive,—tns one that ho may buy,
and the other that he raav sell.
In company with ray friend from California
and Mr. Jack Simmons,—a very courteous gen
tleman from Montana, who seemed to know
everything about mining worth knowing,—l
went the round of the chief mills and mines iu
the vicinity of Central and Lead Cities.

of these mines it Is tide claimed that the ore is

Ins ambulance and an escort awaited me. For
two hours wc wound our way around and up
and down the Hills, oyer a very rough road,
then the little cavalcade emerged, passed the
foot-hills, and I found myself In a delightful
Tolley,—the Centennial, so named In JBTd In
honor of the national anniversary. Fifteen
miles from Dead wood wo entered the SocarlUh

about nine miles m length. The Spearlisb Illy

to the yalley. The Talley Is extensively cult!*

on the left bank of the rlrer, which hugs the
bluffs on the southeast side. Ditches for Irri
gation have been completed, hut they wi re not
required the present season; the rain fall was
ample. 1 saw fields of oats In tbc stack which
showed a large apparent yield; and the pota
toes of all the Black-Hills region arc
TUB FINEST I BVEn TASTED.
All vegetables yield t.jundanlly. I don’t
think wheat has been tried to aur considerable

eo,OUO for 100 acres; but the house and bam
were of the best in the neighborhood, and the
crop of the year, then harvested, was expected
to yield C2.0U0. Madam grieved for the pots of
flowers which adorned her late Chicago home,
but she bud provided largo stores ot seeds for
next year.
Ten miles from Spcarfish. after having skirt*
eu the valley and rounding a range of low buttes,
wc came iu sight of 1
ob.v. iiradlbtV camp:
A collection of tents on a plateau overlooking
the Red Water; some hundreds of horses and
mules grazing on the plains; In the distance,
sonio twenty miles away to Hie westward, the
Hullari invaukararange of mountains, capped
with snow, which glistened brilliantly Inthe
midday sunlight. It was a peaceful, charming
scene. Hut only a vearago all the ranchmen In

insssaered, by hostile Indians.
(Jen. Bradley received mo at the opening of

an hour each morning and evening. The firm

it had never been found. The dog is a faithful 1

How to run ft fair successfully, nod trlre sat*
Islam loti to alt, la probably a problem that will
never be fully solved. Even »n staid New Era
(.'land lliere appears to be dissatisfaction. Last

Itipr:
The lane amount of money collected at the sates
of too New England Fair, the Vultiralor
remarks, will undoubtedly Us “a source of grail
ficatlon to the managers.” Tne force of this ob
servation lies in the application of It, sod Is appar
ent when It is remembered that our contemoorary
chames that the §sld manaeers-“schcmlngoin
ciafa —“make no financial report*/’and resale
lhem»elrcs with • • a banquet every winter at a iios*

progressive, and Intelligent farmers of New En
gland”; the one aim being to “scoop in etcry
possible dollar, and retain present management In
a policy at once distasteful,” not only to the agri
cultural classes at large, but to “a majority of the
members of the Society. ”
U has been aalil by some writer that wo bare
outgrown fairs. Tu a certain extent we have,
rite case with which country people can reach
the large dtlca has largely reduced the attract
iveness of acouutv fair. For the same amount
of money, almost, a trip may be taitcn to some
Exposition, and all the lions of the city can be
seen without extra cost. A few years ago this
was not the ease, and the county fair was look
ed upon as the event ot the year.
THE STATE FAIR.
There is some talk oflocating the State Fair
permanently. Wo are opposed to any such
action. Whenever the fair is permanently lo
cated, lb will lose Its Interest, and become merely
a local or district fair. The fact that this year
the receipts fell short $5,U00 of paying expenses
has nothing to oo with It. The same result
would happen anywhere that It rained the two
best dais. Let the fair go from one end of the
State to the other. It is a great educator; and.
while the great mass of trie people are unable
to go a great ways to sec It, let the lair gu*to
the people.
FALL-PLANTING OP OnCItARDS.
There arc many reasons why trees do better
olarited at this season than at anv other. The
following from the New Turk Titna cuutalas
about all that need be said:
There are several ndvsntajres In this. There is
more time and opportunity lo perform the work
'well; and. If not well .lone, It were better not
clone at all. The tree* come freiber from the nur
sery. and arc generally tetter in kind and diame
