atiairs will csOnliuu" until The Govern
nent takes proper steps to protect the
mineTs.
kumbers nf nIen are coming II
vino bring bAi reports concerning the
country. These are men who went
to Custer with the expectation Of see
ing huge nuggets kicked about the
streets, the gulehes alive with miners
all busiiy engaged in shoyeiing gold
dust cut by the wagon-ioad, and "a
fulfillment OF the widest dreams OF
Dumas OF the author of Aladdin. To
such men the Black Hills seem a delu-
sion and a fraud, and they scarcely
ver remain in Custer longer than q
day, lever going out to prospect for
themselves or watch Others prospect,
but loafing about Clusters saloons until
their money is gone and then getting
out as best they can, to denounce u
country they know nothing OF.
THE QUARTZ MINES.
Mr.. Toniblin has = very high opin-
ion of the quartz mines Of the Hills.
He brought with him specimens of
ore from a number of gold lodes. which
he viii have assayed upon reaching
Omaha. The finest quartz he has seen
was brought from the Deaiwood re-
gion, and is very rich in gold. He has
specimens nf gold ore from iodes re-
Gently discovered at a distance OF only
two miles from Custer City. which he
thinks are 81 great value. He has
also seen fine silver ore from a lode
located only one mile from Custer. He
says the country abounds in mineral
bearing ore OF nearly all kinds. aud
that large deposits of coal have also
been discovered.
a LAND OF GREAT PROMISE.
Everybody whom Mr.. Tomblin mel
expressed the opinion that the region
is one of the finest in the world, and
that nothing has yet been written that
describes its advantages as an agricul-
tural. stock-raising and lumber pro-
ducing district. For these purposes it
is unsurpassed. and capital cannot too
soon be enlisted in the great work OF
opening up railway communication to
the Black Hills. The enterprise will
prove a bonanza of the biggest sort to
the men who first organize and put 1t
through.
THE SITUATION AT cUsrER CITY.
When Mr.. Tomblin left Custer prov
isions were very scarce and high. and
it was not known when supplies
would arrive, but at the Cheyenne
river he met Nays train, which has
arrived there by this time, 50 that
there is no danger of starvation. On
the way out he met four hundred men,
with 120 wagons, and as a vast guam
tity of provisions were loaded on the
wagons there need be no fear OF u
famine at Custer,

The Black Hills Protective Association

Mr.. w. H. H. Frye, who arrived
here from Custer City yesterday, where
be has been for the past month, repre-
sents an organization bearing the
above name, for which he has estab-
lished an agency at Custer. The asso-
citation has been organized for the pur-
pose of transporting men to the Black
Hills at the minimum of cost and the
maximum of comfort. A party Of ex-
perienced prospectors is constantly
employed in the Hills. and men join
ing the association will find claims
ready for working Immediately, and
every provision made for their con-
venience. Reduced rates of fare have
been obtained on tile railroads and
stage lines and low figures at all hotels
on the routes leading to Cheyenne and
the Hills. The association is being
extensively advertised and has a corps
of several thousand agents at work in
all parts of the country. We believe
it to be thoroughly reliable and that it
cannot fail to greatly benefit all who
Join its ranks.

CONCERT AND EXAMINATION.

In my peregrinations last week, l got into
the neighborhood of Miss Walsh's Female
School, and attended the concert which closed
her third session. 1t consisted Of reading,
compositions and music, alternately, entertain
ing very large assemblage in the hig hest
degree for full three hours. The compositions
were of the very best grade and remarkably
we'll read. The pieces of music were happily
selected and we'll performed, the young ladies
showing evidently that they had been taught
by lady Of the highest culture and refine
ment.
To my surprise, I learned that about one
half of the pupils had only taken lessons for
one session, proving clearly what profession
al teacher who takes pride III her vocation,
and who is ever better fitting herself for her
duties, can do. reasonably conclude that
the people of that section have been fortunate
in securing her services, and all who may
have daughters to educate, have rare chance,
in her school, to have them taught BY thor.
ough, experienced and successful educator of
youth, at comparatively cheap rates.

Justices, viz. j. J.L. Gill, P. T. Murray, j.

thirst. His food is brought to him by his
friends, and when given to him is eaten with
the voraciousness of an animal, which he now
resembles more than man, his body being as
heavily coated with hair as that of COW.
He never shows dangerous disposition, and
chatters in monosyllables. When people cross
his path he invariably begs for tobacco, for
which he has an evident partiality, and in
chattering tones will utter 'bacca" until his
request is granted. His hair is long, gray
and unkempt; falling far over his shoulders,
and his beard, which is similar, reaches down
below his waist. He is now between sixty
and seventy years of age, and is, possibly, the
only living being ever known to have lived
year after year perfectly naked and exposed
to all the inclemencies of weather which mark
the Canadian winter.
