The Black Hills.
The followirjK is a copy of a letter received at
the Indian Bureau, nt Washington, from Pro
fessor Jonney, in charge of the Govennent
Geological Kxpedition to the Black Hills:
Camp on Smiinq Creek, Black Hills, Da
kota, July 31st. To Hon E. P. Smith, Sir:
In my telegraphic dispatch dated July 17th, I
briefly informed you of my explorations iu thnt
section ot tne Jilack inns nortu and northeast
of Harney's peak. In order to more rapidly
explore the Hills, I divided my party; Jlr.
Nowton, geologist, going south from Trench
creek, with an astronomer and a photographer
to map and oxploro tho southern portion of the
country as far as Cheyenne river; and I, with
tho assistance of my miners, have prospected
tho Hills to tho north, a region hitherto unex
plored and unknown.
I Found Gold (n Placer Deposits
On both Spring and Ilapid creeks, from their
head-waters to n point where th( y emerae from
the Hills; and more extended prospecting and
exploration show that in localities in the valleys
of these streams, tbogravels, ehpeciallj tho-e of
older formation and elevated auovo tho pr sent
level of tho streams, contain gold in quantities
sufficient to yield a fair remuneration for lubor
economically and skillfully applied, assisted by
the proper tools and meebamcal appliances, at
least a moderate amount of capital, or its
equivalent, and such a system of working as
tho experience of twenty-live years has taught
the minors of the Pacific slope to employ.
Fortunately There Is an Abundance of Water
In both those streams, and in most places a
rapid current. Spring creek will yield from
300 to 1,000 miners' inches ot water, according
to season, and Rapid creek at least twice the
amount. While the placer deposits as far as
discovered are by no means rub or verv exten
sive, compared with those of California, still
there is enough precious metal to develop tbo
country, and stock raising and iigriculturo will
do tbo rest. Among the foothills along tho
eastern slono of the Black Hills are laruo Gravel
deposits, in some places thirty feet thick, often
couienteu by tlmo into a nurd conglomerate,
and capping high hills of massive sandstone.
Decomposition of this conglomerate bas in
places yielded the gold which it contained, and
which Las been washed by heavy rains down
tho dry gulohes, and been caught and concen
trated. Inthedry gulches in the lower sand-tone
bods, secondary deposits afford the only crev
icing yet found in tho Hills, and they may be
worked during tho spring, while thorn is water
flowing out ot the hills in nearly every stream
on tho toplauds, but iu summer scarcely a sin
gle stream carries its water in an unbroken cur
rent to tho Cheyenne. They all, except per
haps Rapid croek, sink in their beds on reach
ing tho foothills. Should these conglomerates
bo found to contain gold in pajing quantities,
it will require the emnloMuent o( capital to
work them successfully.
Several Enormous Ledges
Of a mixture of slato, ferruginous quart, and
quartzite, cross the vallesof Spring and Hapid
creeks, oxtondiug for miliB iu a north western
direction. The oxide of iron contained in
ledges has resulted from decomposition of iron
pyrites, and specimens of quartz show occa
sionally visible particles of gold, and give, on
crushiug and panning, a traco of the color of
tho much Houutit for inotal. It is rcniaikablo
that so few valuablo tumorals have been found
on tho Hills, tlidunh the country is oorruu
by miners, and everything in tho shape of
took, in any way peculiar in appearance, is
brought to me for identification. But I have
not yot seen any mineral containing lead, cop
per, or silver; only iron pyrites, iron ores re
sulting from its decomposition, misphiokol,
graphite, black tourmaline, rose quartz, gar
nets andstamolide, as mineralogical curiosities.
In testing deports on Spring creek I worked
out a particulaily rich spot, where an old chan
nel had been cut across by the present bed of
tho creok, and iu ten hours' work with a small
sluice,
Obtained Five-Sixths of an Ounce of Gold,
Or about $1G.I0, Soldiers had previously
panned out of the same place not has than two
ounces of coarse gold; aud on measuring I
found tho total yield at tbe rate of four dollars
per cubio yard, or about thrto cents to the pan,
as an average tor the whole thickness of the
deposit. Ii was tiuly said of this region that
there wan gold in the very roots ot of the grass;
but it is not tlio gold of graol bars or quartz
lodges, not the gold of the miller or gcologixt,
but tho future solid worth of tho Black Hills
that is to sought iu tho luxuriant giowth of
fino grasses that everywhere spread over tho
bountiful country.
Of the Climate of tho Black Hills,
The severity of the winters, tho danger of crops
being injured by frosts, and tho agrieultuial
products host suited to the soil, I can only judge
by examining the flora of tho region. Along
the eastern slope, where the elovation is fiun
3,000 to -1,500 feet above the son, the valleys
are tilled with n fair growth of burr oak, elm,
hornbeam, box elder, white birch, aspeu, and
hazel. Tho conspicuous plants are: tiger lily,
poison ivy, and Vitgiuia neeper, with grapo
vines, wild flax, hops aud oats; while taspber
ries, black and red currants, gooseberries,
plums, strawbertios, and service berries aro in
places quite abundant, l'roin which I assnnio
that tho climate is not severer than that of
Maine and New Hampshire, where many of the
sumo plant grow and ripou;iuid that while tbo
season is not long or hot enough for corn, jet
wheat, oats', barley, flax, hops and potatoes
would grow thero huuiiautly,
Tho Rain is Quite Remarkable;
Scarcely a day passes without a shower, though
perhaps lasting but n few minutes. Heavy
rains of long duration ouly occasionally occur,
but thunder storms aro very prevalent, and
numerous places may tie seen all over the Hills
showing the marks of lightning. The elevation
above the sea make the climate oool and
healthy, while heavy dews aud frequent show
era of rain keep the country carpeted with a
luxuriant growiu oi grass, always greeu

by the following treatment: The patient is not

The Navigator Islands.
Samoa, the latest scene of the latest filbnster
ing on the part of our non-aggressive Admin
istration, is a group of islands, better known as
tbe Navigators, aud lying between latitude
thirteen degrees thirty minutes and fourteen
degrees thirty minutes south, and longitude
one hundred and sixty-eight degreos and one
hundred and seventy-three degrees west, con
sisting of four principal and five lessee islands;
tbey are known as Apolima, Mauono, Savaii,
Hose, Olosinga, Ofu.JIauua.Tutuili nudAnnu.
l'bey were first si on by Bougainville iu 17C8,
and La P rouse in l'Astrolabe in 1787, though
Krusenstein considers them to be the same as
tho Baunian islands, discovered by Rouceweid
in 1721. They were revisited ut various times
by the early navigators, but their topographi
cal and bydrographical natures were unkuonn
until tho United States exploring expedition,
under Wilkes, made the famous surveys that
eliminated the previous prolific chances of
danger in tbe group.
All the islands excepting Hose are of volcanic
origin, and thero aro still extant remains of ex
tinct volcanoes, especially in Apolima, Stvaii,
Tutuila and in Lake Lauto, ou the ridge of
Upola, 2,570 feet above tbe sea level. The area
ot tho group is about 2,500 square miles, and
tho population is estimated roughly nt 20.000
a marked decrease trom the ostimate of 1810,
which placed it at 55.000, and from the still
later one of Admiral Erskine in 1849, which
gave it from Missionary sources at 37,000.
bavaii, Tutuila, jnanuno aud upolu are tbo
islands that attract the greatest interest at
present, Upolu being the seat of the new Gov
ernment, Savaii, the largest; Manotio, from its
possession of tho balance of power, aud Tutuila

refuses to enter the now confederation, but
sticks with grim determination to tbo flag and
laws furnished by Commander Meade in his
visit to the islands in 1872. Savaii is forty
miles in length aud twenty In breadth, and
furnishes tbe largest quota to the fighting
forces of the federation, but tho comparative
unfitness of its harbors, its difficulty of approach,
the absence of permanent streams, and its
broken aud irregular coral barrier degrade it to
the Becond place iu importance, and yields the
first to Upolu.
Tho Creto do Coq of Kotzebue, and the
smallest islands of the croup, lies inside the
same reof as Upolu, anil between it and Savaii.
sevin miles distant. It is tho Gibraltar of the
nation, selected with rare wisdom by some pre
historic Gahel al Turck of those seas, and so
fortified by nature as practically to be impreg
nable to tbo resources'of Samoau warfare. It is
simply the crater of au extinct volcano a per
iphery of perpendicular rocks, fringed with a
narrow habitable bolt, aud bioken only at the
northern point, where its natural entrance is
so narrow that but a single cauoo can enter at
a time.
The population does not number more than
a thousand, but these are skilled sailors, brave
in war, very vikings of the austral land, and
so feared that it is a tradition of the people
th-t as go Jlanono and his sailor warriors, so
coch S imoa. Tutuila is tho windward island.
and the probablo port of entry and commercial
depot of tne luturu. It is mgu and of volcanic
appearance, and of comparative limited value
as a producing couutry. It is the old Maouno
of Bongainville, aud for years suffered
an undoserved reputation from tho mur
der of the Comto de Langle, M. de
Laimauau and a boat's crew belonging to La
Perouso's expedition. Later evidence proves
that these murders were reprisals for the shoot
ing of a natho ou board l'Astrolabe for some
imaginary offence. The island is sevtuteen
miles long, and in its greatest breadth about
nve miles, generally precipltious, diversified
by narrow table lands aud tortuous valleys.
Tho district of Pango-Pango possesses the
host harbor, and was selected by Mr. Webb as
tho coal depot for the Bteaniers of the Austra
lian and Intercolonial line. Its importance
was so highly appreciated by Commander
Richard Moado, of tho navy, that he surveyed
it in the NarraganseU, and during his Btay laid
down tho harbor accurately, selected the most
available sito tor depots and steamers, framed
a code of laws lor the pcoplo, founded a local
government wise, judicious and eminently
suited to the raco and olimato, and planted tbe
seeds of an authority that seems so satisfacto
rily to have flourished that it possesses inher
ent stiength enough to defy the ilatteries and
thrtats of Steiuborger and his coterie. This
harbor, if any, will probably be the entrepot
for the trade of the group with tho outsulo
woild, aud is by far the best, not only in this
group, but iu Polynesia. Evidently the crater
of an extinct volcano, its shape approximates
most nearly to a chemist's retort, and so per
fectly is it laudlockod that aftor access it is a
matter of impossibility to discover tho entrance.
Tho bides are frowning, precipitous mural
cliffs, clothed in ultra tropical verdure to the
summit; then straightening into narrow table
lauds tbat might be made available, with due
labor and energy, for plantations. Tho shore
lino is generally narrow, with steep approaches,
affording facilities for docks and loading and
unloading ot snips of any tlraimlit, with suttl
cieut room ashoro for storehouses and the
modest villages that the trade would demand.
The natives are peaceable and woll-disposed,
and bo fas as could bo judged as much Christ
ianized as can bo hoped for from the averuge
Kanaka, bo his Island what it may.
Upolu, the capital, is oj volcanic origin, and,
unlike Savaii, piocipitous, broktu, and, except
in occasional plates, not well adapted to culti
vation; it is high and Bplit and fissured, but yet
rich and beautiful, especially in the parts ex
posed to the tiade winds. Tho eastern part is
surrounded by a ridge muni tig east and west,
with outlying spurs that tend in a northwestern
and southeastern direction. It possesses a
number of oxcollout biubors, permauent, fall
volumed streams and feeders; is entirely sur
rounded by a coral breakwater, aud, liko
Tahiti, is on tho southern side luxuriaut aud
admirably adapted iu places to moderate cottee
and sugar plantations.
Its principal harbor is secure, with safe au.
chorugo for twenty ships; plenty of water,
though tho entrance through the ree'f is narrow,
and with coitaiu winds dangerous. Tho cli
mate is tropioal aud healthy, the extreme heat
being tempered by the trade winds; but from
November to May hurricanes are not nufre
queut aud always sovoro
At present Apia, in Unoln. is the nrlnotnal
settlement of tne group, aud consists ot three
towns, separated by Biuall stmuns, and rejoic
ing both iu Eugllsh aud native names.
The bulk of the trade is iu the bauds of the
Germans, the house of Godefroy brothers of
Hamburg possessing nn extensive establish
ment at Mautafela, where business tact and
good fellowship go hand-in-hand. They export
uarly all the eobro or dried cocoanut, lu which
the main traffic oousists, have nearly fifty ships,
of all sizes, in tho trade, and their enterprise
is so extended aud their energy so untiring that
it will require a serious effort to dispossess them
of a tithe of their business with tbe groups for
hundreds of miles to windward and to leeward.
What other trade there is iu the group ia purely
local. What well directeel effort will do it is
difficult to predict; but there is in the laud and
sea capabihtiea of production that would repay,
not labuloDsly, but with the same percentage ot
profit that obUius iu anv other countrv nt th
same isothermal and isolated nature, 1', 11,

1 American & Foreign Patent Agents.
OFFICE, M4 8AN8OME STREET, 8. F.
I pATENT8 obtained promptly; Caveats filed
expeditiously; Patent reissues taken out;
Assignments made and recorded in legal
form; Copies of Patents and Assignments
procured; Examinations of Patents made
' here and at Washington; Examinations made
of Assignments recorded in Washington;
1 Examinations ordered and reported by Tele
graph; Rejected cases taken up and Patents
obtained; Interferences Prosecuted; Opinions
rendered regarding the validity of Patents
and Assignments; every legitimate branch of
Patent Agency Business promptly and
thoroughly conduated.
Our intimate knowledge of the various in
ventions of this coast, and long practice in
1 patent business, enable us to abundantly
satisfy our patrons; and our success and
bmsiness are constantly increasing.
The shrewdest and most experienced Inventory
are found among our most steadfast friends
and patrons, who fully appreciate our advan
tages in bringing valuable inventions to the
notice of the public through the columns of
our widely circulated, first-class journals
thereby facilitating their introduction, sale
and popularity.
Foreign Patents.
In addition to American Patents, we secure
with the asbistance of co operative agenti,
claims in all foreign countries which grant
Patents, including Great" Britain, France,
Belgium, Prussia, Austria, Victoria, Peru,
Russia, Spain, British India, Saxony, British
Columbia, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Mexico,
, Victoria, Brnzil, Bavaria, Holland, Den
m.irk, Italy, Portugal, Cuba, Roman States,
Wurtemberg, New Zealand, Now South
Wale?, Queensland, Tasmania, BraMI, New
Grenada, Chili, Argentine Republic. AND
EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD
where Patents are obtainable.
No models are required in European conn
tries, but the drawings and specifications
should be prepared with thoroughness, by
able persons who are familiar with the re
quirements and changes of foreign patent
laws agents wno are reliable and perma
nently established.
Our schedule prices for obtaining foreign pat
ents, in all cases, will always bo as low, and
iu some instances lower, than those of any
other responsible agency.
We can avd do get foreign patents for inventors
I in tne Pacinc States trom two to sis months
j (according to the location of the country
The principal portion of the patent business of
this coast has been done, and is still being
done, through our agency. We are familiar
with, and have full records, of all former
cases, and can more directly judge of the
and patentability of inventions dibcovered
here than any other agents.
Situated so remote from the seat of goverment,
delays are oven more dangerous to the invent
ors of the Pacific Coast than to applicants in
the Eastern states. Valuable patents may be
lost by extr.i time consumed in transmitting
specifications from Eastern agencies back to
this coast ior the signaturo of the inventor.
Confidential.
We take great pains to preserve secrecy in all
confidential matters, and applicants for pat
ents can rest assured that their communi
cations and business transactions will be held
strictly confidential by us. Circulars free.
Home Counsel.
Our long experience in obtaining patents for
Inventors on this Coast has familiarized us
with the character of most of the inventions
already patented; hence we are frequently
able to save our patrons the cost of a fruitless
application by pointing them to the same
thing already covered byapitcnt. We aro
always free to advise applicants of any
knowledge we have of previous applicants
which will interfere with their obtaining a
patent.
We invite the acquaintance of all parties con
nected with inventions and patent right busi
ness, believing that the mutual conference of
legitimate business and professional men is
mutual gain. Parties in doubt in recard to
their rights as assignees of patents, or pur
chasers of patented articles, can often receive
advise of importance to them from a short
call at our office.
Remittances of money, made by individual in
ventors to the Government, sometimes mis
carryj and it has repeatedly happened that
applicants nave not only lost tneir money
but their inventions also, from this cause and
consequent delay. We hold ourselves re
sponsible for all fees entrusted to our agency.
Engravings.
We have superior artists in our own office, and
1 au lacuiues tor producing nne and satisfac
tory illustrations of inventions and machinery,
for newspaper, book, circular and other
1 printed illustrations, and are always ready to
assist patrons in bringing their valuable .is-
1 coveries into practical and profitable use.

FOB PURIFYING THE BLOOD.
This compound of the
vegetable alteratives, Sarsa
parilla, Dock, Stlllingla and
Mandrake with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron
makes a mott effectual core
of a scries of complaints
which are very prevalent
and afflicting. It purifies
tbe blood, purges out the
lurking humors in the system, that undermine health
and settle into troublesome disorders. Eruptions of
the skin are the appearance on the surface of humore
that should be expelled from the blood. Internal de
rangements are the determination of these some humors
to some internal organ, or organs, whose action they
derange, and whose substance they disease and destroy.
Ayeb's Saiisapabhxa expels these humors from the
blood. When they are gone, the disorders they prodnce
disappear, such ss Ulcerations of the Liver, Stomach,
Kidneys. Lungs, Eruptions and Erutith e Diseases of the
Skin, St. Anthony's Fire, Rose or Erysipelas, Pimples,
