The County Seat "A Growing Town
Rich Guich Mines.

Especial Correspondence OF The Leader.l
HAYWARD CITY, D.. T., May II.
Editor, Cheyenns Leader:
The boys are all on a spree tonight,
because III town, not yet five months
old, was to-day declared the county
seat of Custer county. 1t was to many
Of us a very small surprise, as we knew
last winter, when we came into this
gulch, and prospected the ground, that
as soon asthe season would permit Of
two or three placer claims being opened
up for work, the Gee Of this place
would be an assured fact. To prove
the hypothesis true, 1 would only say:
on u main gulch we have n claim
paying about $50 to $40 per day to the
hand, another $40, and several from
800 to $50, and all the side gulches and
dry claims paying more than good
wages. To a working miner or to a
mechanic this camp presents a field for
labor unexcelled in the Hills. New
claims are opening up ON all sides,
stimulated to exertion by the rich re-
turns Of those already at work, and in
town buildings (many of them of a
good class) are going up on all sides.
Already the camp contains over a thou
sand men, and all are doing we'll. We
have a sawmill, but the supply is not
adequate to the demand; lumber S35
to S45 per thousand feet. Already the
town boasts a dance-house, and the
boys with their little sacks p~atronize it
well; In fact, everything is flourishing,
as it always is in a rich placer camp,
but we think we have a substantial ba-
sis here on which to build-I mean our
quartz. Most of the leads are well de-
fined, having good walls and from four
to ten feet crevice. NJ shafts have
been sunk yet to a depth of over twenty
or twenty-five feet, but many of them
prospect big even so near the top as
that-from $50 and $50 to $500 per ton,
and mostly in good milling ore (gold).
One Of the best lodes / have seen is the
Little Grace, owned by Ed. w. Hope,
Of Quincy, ILL.,, situated about 2 or 2!
miles from this place; and 1 might also
mention a lode on Iron creek, four
miles from here, owned by Rouze &C.,,
named the Silver King; but assayers
pronounce what was supposed by the
miners here to be silver to be tin, and
although every effort was made among
certain parties to keepthe matter quiet,
it has leaked out, and caused consider
able excitement in the camp, and many
samples from the lode have been sent
east for treatment, although no doubt
is felt here as to the ore being genuine
tin ore.
The camp is now supplied with a tri,
weekly mail, and in a few days a daily
line will be put in operation, and it is
understood the county commissioners
will order, at their meeting next
Wednesday, the surveying and opening
up of three county roads. Our great
est, and, in fact, only drawback, is the
great scarcity of mining tools, such as
picks, shovels and pans, sledges and
steel, and 1 would advise all coming to
the Hills to bring or ship tools; nothing
finds such ready sale and brings such
enormous prices. Yours, V.

Are the Black Hills a New Mining camp7

NiC tC otdSh utus q NtW WiHiny lamp I
From living evidence along Dead
woodwood gulch, Whitewood district,
and Montana vicinity, it is reasonable
to conclude that the Hills country was
many years ago, ~prospected and mined,
by skilled labor. In many places along
these gulches, we have convincing evil
dence that others have taken the rich
harvest of gold, and what seems a val
liable and paying diggings now, are
only tailings. But what became of
that party who worked these same
PAGER mines, many years ago, remains
only for us to conjecture. The tall
pines are now standing upon the ground
they sluiced, and probably stand, too,
as a monument over their graves. We
trace their trail through the mountains,
a wagon-chain still bangles from a lofty
pine, imbedded by years Of growth in
its trunk, where perhaps some early
explorer chained his horse, or OK, and
both together they persisted. Then
along through Whitewood district are
found hewed pine logs, thirty feet in
length, overgrown by pines and sap
lings, showing by the shot and bullets
that penetrated some of these timbers,
that a fight ensued and the probability
is that the party was massacred. Then
sluice-boxes are found, buried from six
to eight feet under the earth, showing
by stages of decay, that twenty or
thirty years have elapsed since they
were built, and that rains and storms
have buried them beneath the earth's
surface.
AT Golden Run there is a mine of
rich ore, into which a run had been
cut, many years ago. The timbers in
the cut show marks of a terrible siege,
undoubtedly with the Indians, assail-
ing the miners while at work. The
timbers show marks of many years.
standing, and in several places they are
perforated with shot and bullets.
These: and many other such indica-
tions, prove conclusively that we are
really in an old mining camp.
Again, in the heart of Deadwood,
where thrived the. saplings and the
sturdy pines, was unearthed the other
day, a grindstone of primitive construc-
ton. In the rea of Morton's saloon,
a party Of men were at work, excavat-
ing for a cellar, or underground fire.
proof house. When they had reached
the depth Of about six feet below the
level surface, they came to bedrock,
upon which they found a grindstone of
native rock, 10 inches in diameter, and
three inches in thickness. The center
bar was in part preserved, being I'M
pregnated with mineral substance. On
exposing the stone to the influence of
the atmosphere, it fell into two pieces,
the stone splitting lengthwise with the
grain Is / ( "a &A
With these facts before us, we are
led to conclude that the Hills have,
many years previous to our coming,
been prospected for gold, and the pio-
neers Of that day haye long since per-
ished. [Deadwood Daily Times.

The Harrington Girl Case.

Any remaining doubt as to the fate OF
Mary Harrington, the East Boston girl
who disappeared last September and
was recently traced to the house of a
notorious abOrtiOnist at Lowell, was dis
PEELED by the finding of the body in the
river near Lowell. 1t was tied in a
cramped position in a blanket and was
much decOmposed, and had evidently
been sunk by weight and finally re-
leased by the rotting away of the rope,
This discovery furnishes a strong link
in the chain of evidence against James
H. Favor, her lover, who evidently en-
ticed her from home and induced her to
undergo the fatal operation at the hands
of Mrs. Avery. He with his grandfath-
er, were brought on the Odd inst. before
the Police Court in Lowell Mass, on a
new warrant for aiding in an abortion
on the person of Mary Ella Harrington,
from which death ensued. District At
tOrney Stevens represented the Govern
ment, and Robert B. Caverly the de-
PENDANT. The reading of the complaint
and the preliminary examination were
waived and the government asked a
continuance till July ,, the intent being
Jury. This motion was allowed. On
the question of bail there was much
controversy, $4,000 being at length
fixed, which is the same sum as Favor
was previously held in before the body
was recovered. There is no likelihood
of his furnishing this bail, and he will
go to Jail, though his counsel argued
that so feeble as he is and so old ia
years)Etwo months confinement might
lead to his death.
Mrs. Isadore A. Cook, daughter of
the deceased Mrs. Avery, under whose
treatment Miss Harrington died at
Lowell, made full confession after her
arrest Friday, giving details of the af-
fair from the time Miss Harrington was
brought to her mothers house for an
abortion to be performed, until her
death. The confession, which was to
have been produced before the NUM-
cipal court, will, it is said, be sufficient
to convict James A. Favor, grandfather
of James H. Favor, the girls lover, of
procuring the abortion, and will make
some startling revelations.
The body of Miss Harrington arrived
at the Boston and Lowell depot in Bos-
ton, at IL o'clock Saturday from Low
ell, and was Immediately conveyed to
Woodlawn Cemetery, where it was
buried, the Rev. Mr.. Cudworth officiat-
ing. In the course of his remarks Mr..
Cudworth, who had been the girls pas
tor for fourteen years, said he had never
had occasion to even look an expression
of censure at her, but regularly every
Sunday school anniversary to present
her with Bible or some other gift for
orderly conduct, excellent lessons and
constant attendance, and he felt that
this should go far in mitigating that
public Judgment that he felt had been
unjustly dealt against her. The exer-
cises were held in the chapel at Wood
deceased being present.

Eleven "Molly Maguires" Hung.

Eleven men were hanged in Pennsyl-

James Carroll, James Roarty, James

Yost, the Tamaqua policeman, and

P. Jones, at Lansford also, Alexander
Campbell and John Donahue for the
murder of Morgan Powell, another mine
boss at Summit Hill, Carbon County,
Dec. 2, 1871. These four were executed
at the same time. At Wilkesbarre An
drew Lanahan was hanged for the muir
der of John Riley in September, 1874.
Speeches were made on the scaffold by
four of the doomed men, but no asser-
lions of guilt or innocence were made.
There was no disorder, though the
crowds we're very large.

unaccustomed smoothness and dispatch.
There was none of the official bungling

seen so much. If it was necessary to
perform the awful duty of putting these
eleven men out of the world, it was a
good thing to have it done decently and
in order. With respect to the bearing
of the doomed men, it is hard to say
which is the more singular-the cour-
age with which all without exception
met their death, or the persistency with
which all but one of those who made
any farewell speeches chung to the no.

mankind, not to be forgiven. There
