A Dead Level account by John Mullin recounts a 136 person prospecting party from Deadwood to the Big Horn region in June. They faced rough terrain, scarce water, Indian signals, and no gold, with many deaths and wounded spirits but five Indians captured. later reports note mining progress at Potatoe Gulch and local camps, roads, mills, and ventures in the Black Hills.
