Iflio town of Sheridan , Wyo. , Is located on
Istorlc ground nnd In a region consecrated
r the lives and services of many of the
[ untry's ablest soldiers. On the very slto
I the town General Crook camped his gal-
Int llttlo army In July and August , 1870 ,
filling for reinforcement * , after the battle
the Ho obud , forty miles away. In tliU
Igagcment with Sitting Hull's forces , Gen-
| \1 Crook's command was outnumbered
hr to one , according to Gen
ial Crook's own estimate , yet the pencral
lid about 5)00 ) lighting men. Our little army
'IdA ' \ protind and tbo Indians rctrcatcil.
.jnoral Ouster encountered Sitting Hull on
lo Little Big Horn juat ono wcek4atcr , nnd
Int portion of his command which went
fith him into tno fight , about DCS men , was
l.nlhllatcd.
IWIicro the town of Sheridan now stands
Icro was a busv and n martial snono August
. JTU. General Mcrritt , with the fifth
lilted States cavalry , joined Goncrrfl Crook
i that date , nnd Immediately the order was
fvcii to movu ngulnst the hostile Sioux ,
'icro ' was to ho tie rest for the reinforcing
lutnn , which had marched for many days ,
[ ho camp that night , between tlio two
,0080 , crooks , was nllvo with active preparn-
3ns , nnd the earliest streak of daxvn found
, o entire command , stripped of all Impedi-
letita , on the march toward the north nnd
list. Its subsequent career Its battles ,
larches and starvation arc known to the
Luntry.
At the present slto of Sheridan , General
'rook had all his wagon train nnd animals
lut were not essential to his purpose con-
intrated nnd placed under the control of
tnjor John Vf. Furcy. quartermaster , nnd ,
1th n small force of citizen employes as cs-
art , ho was ordered to take the train-back
> Fort Laranilc and the Black Hills. Our
ridges wore burned behind us when wo loft
aocamponVhleh now stands the town of
liorldnn. The lovely outlines of the Big
'orn mountains , the beautiful streams full
' trout , the grassy mesas , the restful peace
t waiting were soon to bo only a memory ,
ilttlo did these who participated lu the
vents of these stirring times think that
icy were preparing the way for railroads
ml towns and civilization In the heart of
littt then center of savnpo life. Our homes
nd friends were many hundreds of miles
way and around In there was only tlio sav-
go enemy. The town of Sheridan recalls all
licso Incidents and their present contrasts.
i'ut there was another great soldier who
ad proceeded us there. General P. 12. Con
or led a command into this very region in
? 05 , and camped on the same ground. Ho
ought the entire Arnnahoo tribe only a
liort distance from Sheridan , and with such
ucccss that they never afterwards played
, ny Important part in the history of frontier
hostilities. Ho had a small command , but ,
vlth a lion-hearted leader , no obstacle nnd
p enemy is too great. Captain II. E. Pal-
.er , now of this city , was with him in that
lampaign , and performed such service as to
( ndcar lain forever In the general's affec-
> ion. It was the good fortune of the writer
po hear from the general himself , his
*
personal account of the conduct of his
.bfllccrs . and men in this campaign , and it
as always the tribute which a good soldier
loves to pav to another. Ho never tired of
talking of the gallantry of his oflfccrs and
men , under the most trying ' difficult nnd
dangerous circumstances , or which his
march Into that country nt that tinio fur
nished abundant occasions.
The old Bozeman trail to Montana , on
which Sheridan is located , was the scene in
later times of many of the most bloody con
flicts with the hostile Indians which have
occurred in our history. Port Phil Kearney ,
.twenty miles east of Sheridan , and Fort C.
F. Smith , thirty miles beyond , were estab
lished on that trail. After the massacre of
Captain Fcttcnnan nnd his 100 men on the'
ridge running from Kearney towards Sher
idan. December 22,18CO , these posts wore
I withdrawn , ana the entire region was
I ab.indoncd to the hostilcs. It remained in
I their possession until General Crook began
ul operations against' them in February ,
IrJTO. In him they found a foeman so crafty ,
30 bravo , so generous and so determined ,
that their obstinacy was of no avail , and in
ii year's time they were subdued and went
ante the reservations set apart for them.
Tno greater part of Wyoming , Montana and
nil of South Dakota was added to the civil
ized portion of the country by his genius
irid unflagging cnorpy.

commemorate the names of the men who
did so much to uiako its prosperity possible.

Mluer * Unions Coiigullilatluj ; .
From the Anaconda Standard wo learn
Jhat a movement Is on foot for the organlza
tjon in this city of u federation of ithu minors
unions of the entire northwest. It Is ox
poctcd that delegates will moot nt Butte ,
from the mining camps of Colorado , No.
roda , Utah , Idado and the Datcotas. At
present , while all other classes of labor are '
not only organized into unions , but also Into
federations , the miners have only their local
unions. The object of the gathering is alto
consider ilia matter of a fodonttod Jor
Kiuilzation , with an organization that shal
I have general charge of union matters lu the
northwest , and shall establish , if possible
ono scale of wages fora ! ! .
The Coour d'Alcno troubles of a year ago
convinced miners generally that strcnptl (
lies lu union. But for the liutto iMInora
union , the Coour d'Alcno miners wouli
surely have lost their light. This has sug

From present Indications the next point In
Colorado to attract attention will bo Marble
City , located In Gunnlson county , nbout
tw - miles In n tllroct line south
west of Aspen nnd upon the north bank of
Crystal river.
At the present tlmo two railroads are
being ! built up that beautiful valley , ono of
ivhlch Is already graded to within three
miles of the town. With the advent of
steam transi > ortatloii will corno great rtctlv-

Al ono mlle southeast of the town nro
lot vast mnrblo beds , varying from
whlto to black , and of nlmost every known
shndo. This marble hns been pronounced by
th best oxprrts in America to bo the finest
In the world.
Within n half mlle to the cast anil south
east lies ono of the largest slate beds on iho
continent ; this slate Is of the clnss known ns
rock slate , being very duraole , and is worth
about ; $1 per sqtinro foot moro than the finest
Pennsylvania slato.
From ono to four miles east of MarhloClty
Is l located Sheep mountain , well known lor
Its mines of precious metals. On this moun
tain the showing for good , permanent mines
Issn said to bo better tlmn that of Aspen nt the
same stage of development. Ore has been
t niton from thcso mines almost as rich ns
thnt mlnod from the wonderful Molllo Gib
son , and with railway transportation to the
mountains doubtless this district will be
come ono of the loading producers of min
eral. Ono mlle southeast stands White
House mountain , on which and underlying
the white marble is found a blanket vein of
ca ere varying from three do twelve
fe In thickness. This is ono of the largest
ere bodies in Colorado.
Ono mlle nortnwost ot Marble City a body
of sotnl-nnthrncito coal is found of a good
grade.
ftbe Kxtorisivo forests of pine and spruce tim
ber stand within two miles of the town.
bePt AVlthin a radius of ono milo iron nnd sul
phur springs are found , the waters of which
are said to equal any In the state for medi
cinal purposes.
The valley in which Marble City is located
Is ono of the most picturesque and fertile In
Colorado. The river furnishes flno trout
fishing along Its shady banks. Many kinds
of panic abound within a short distance of
the town , among thorn elk , bear and deer.
The tourist and sportsman con find amuse
ment in abundance In and around Mar bio

Galena nt Unit Mountain.
While , excavating for a water tank in rear
of the shaft house of the Moulton thn work
men struck a vein of galena , the exact width
of which cannot bo determined yet , says the
Belt Mountain Miner. They exposed it for
about ten feet but did not attempt to find
the walls. Ono boulder found Just below the
surface . weighed 700 pounds. Yesterday
afternoon . . they again struck the vein , this
time ; in the shaft and at a , depth
of ten feet. It is the entire widtn of
the shaft , which is about twelve feet
wide , and resembles the ore taken
from ' the Tiger. They did not expect to
strike . anything for some tlmo yet , and
although . this was unexpected it will bo none
the less welcome. About three tons wore re
moved from the strike made on the surface
nnd it was nil nice and clean with hardly any
waste. The vein dips to the north towards
the old shaft lower down the hill and In
which there is n body of Iron thirty feet
wido. It is expected that when this iron is
reached they will have an immense body of
oro. They are working eight men and will
ndd another shift the first of the week and
take out ere as thov proceed.
On Monday the hanging wall in the Tiger
was encountered and disclosed fourteen
fpet of oro. The work on the upraise con-
tinnes , nnd from present indications they
will break through next week , as the sound
and Jar from the shots can bo plainly hoard
nnd felt on the surface. As soon as the
roads are in fit condition ere will bo shipped
as fast as teams can haul it. They have
luite a number of men at work cutting out
ho road leading to the mine and getting it
n shape to ship.
Charles Gibson arrived In camp Monday
evening , and Tuesday morning ho had u force
) f men at work on the Barker mine pumping
.ho water from the shaft and giving the
mine a general overhauling. It was a very
dllUcult task , as the tunnel was also flooded
and frozen , but by hard work night and day
ihcy hnvo managed to overcome it , and soon
; hey expect to have It clear of water. It Is
, \io \ intention of the company to thoroughly
overhaul the mine , and If the result is suffi
ciently encouraging they will go ahead and
work It.
Fanners Fichtlnc I'relglits.
Farmers living in the vicinity of Elkborn ,
Summit Lake and Wheatville , Cnl. , are
5about to prove that it U possible to run
steamers from their neighborhood to San
Francisco. They want to send their wheat
to market by water and are convinced that
there Is nothing in the way of doing It. The
crop of wheat on reclaimed lands , of which
thousands of acres are planted this year , is
the largest ever known. Some tlmo ago
thcso farmers , who had grown tired of waitIng -
Ing for engineers and companies to move ,
appointed , a committee of tholr own to ox-
ilinlno the slough from Elkhorn to White's
bridgo. They looked over the route and
saw that boats could bo run , except
in ono -or two places , where WOO would
remove the obstructions.
They "wont to San Francisco , and bar
gained for n very small steamer and six
barges to cost only $3,350 , to bo bought in
case the rest of the farmers about IClkhorn
approved of the bargain. They then wont
homo and called a ineotiug of all the iooplo
who favored the Idea. This mooting was
to mqet nt Wheatvillo last wcok.
This place lies so far away that tlio result
of the mooting has not yet been learned.
The stuamur is small , but It is thought
that it can tow to barges from Klkhorn to
San Francisco. The plan Is to have six
barges. Whllo two are being towed down
two will bo loading and two unloading. Each
will carry sixty or seventy tons. During
the summer and fall considerable grain can
bo taken to mnrkot if the project can bo
carried out. There Is all the money needed
backing the business nnd tlio people of tlmt
vicinity say that whllo Fresno , Dniccrsfiold
and Visalla are arguing the matter Klkhoni
will send its whotit crop to market by water.

The Ponca papers haven't found out many

has been obtained by a course of fmurtulent
prices , such measures will unquestionably
bo taken as will preserve bona fide creditors
from loss. Looking over the field , and ad
mitting the apparent blackness , rottenness
nnd infamy of the wreck , wo have still not
the least doubt as to the payment of every
dollar which the bank honestly owes. If all
the rumors are correctif the bank has been
plundered regularly of money as fast it came
mlf every depositor's money has , in fact been
swept away "tor fast horses and champagne ,
and to maintain the gorgeous state and un
scrupulous and arrogant extravagance of nn

havn the utmost confidence that in the end
every creditor will receive his own. This
contldenco is not foolishly based on faith
