BLACK HILLS GoLD.-Another dis
patch has been received at the Indian
Bureau from Prof. Janney, in which
he reiterates his former statement, that
SO far he has not found gold enough
in the Black Hills to warrant any ex-
tended mining operations. There are
fifteen miners near where he is en-
camped, who claim that they obtain 5

What Keely Says of His New Motor.

Notwithstanding all that has been
said by science to the contrary, of a
motor being invented capable OF doing
what Mr.. Keely claims his invention
can do, and with the means he uses to
do it by, Mr.. Keely continues to as
sert, and as eye witnesses admit of
his motor it can do, that it is all he
claims for it. Here is what he says
to correspondent of the Chicago

uses no other chemical agent thar
air and water and that the power
developed from these is produced by
the mechanical appliances of the
machine alone.

GOVERNMENT FINANCEs.--The bal
ancing of the books at the Treasury
Department for the fiscal year ending
June 3oth, shows, in brief, that the
customs receipts have fallen nearly
S5,000.Oo0 below the estimate for the
year, while the internal revenue re-
Geipts have exceeded the estimate OF
Secretary Bristow $4,7OO,oO and the
estimate of the Internal Revenue
Commissioner by over $4,000, 900.
This increase in the latter is owing in
the main to the increase of tax on
whiskey.
