Excerpt from General Laws, Memorials and Resolutions of the Territory of Wyoming: Passed at the First Session of the Legislative Assembly, Convened at Cheyenne, October 12th, 1869, and Adjourned Sine Die, December 11th, 1869 In the vicinity of the Big Horn mountains and along the Black hills, gold is known to exist in large quantities. Heretofore its development has been retarded by Indian occupancy, but now movements are progressing that will result in opening up this richest gold region yet discovered. The valleys Of Big Horn, Powder and Wind rivers, with their tributaries in western and northern Wyoming, are exceedingly rich in agricultural resources. Every species of territorial game finds a home and a luxurious existence upon these comparatively unknown though grandly fertile vales. The earth yields her increase most abundantly, and fruits and vegetables attain to a wonderful degree of perfection, unaided by the hand of man.
