Boston, Jan. 12.-The Herald says of
the shoe factory troubles in Lynn, that
the Crispins at headquarters last night,
which were crowded, unanimously voted
to stand and die in the ditch. Monday
morning will witness nearly the whole
city ON strike, so far rs the shoe bust
ness is concerned.
The firm of Sweetzer 6 Co. drew up
petition for the workmen to sign,
this forenoon, renouncing the Crispin
organization and board of arbitration,
or he would throw off his belts to-
night. They replied: "Throw off and
be damned" and sent word to the
Crispin headquarters that they were
''holding the fort"
The city marshal has removed al
arms from the armories. There are
1856 shoe manufacturing firms in the
city, and if four-fifths shut down, 2,50C
or 3 900 people will be thrown out OF
employment. The Crispins were en-
gagged all the forenoon in getting out 8
price list, their ultimatum, but it will
now be unnecessary.

RAPID CITY RACKET.
From Our own Correspondents
RAPID CITY, Black Hills, Jan 9.

RAPID CITY, Black Hills, Jan Q.
Pennington county will probably
have two newspapers next year. The
Rapid Creek Mining and Manufacture
ing Company propose to establish the
second one at Pactola.
w. S. Mcguire and NJ. II. Kendig
are finishing large public hall at
Pactola, on Rapid creek. 1t will be
dedicated with Il grand ball about
February 1st.
1t is reported that a dozen hydraulics
will be operated next spring and sum-
mer on the Rapid creek bar deposits.
1t is predicted that the yield the coming
year from these placers will not fall
short of Il quarter of a million dollars.
The Rapid Creek Mining and Manu-
featuring Company, which is now under
the business control of Hon. II. II.
Fish, of Utica, n. Y, will next spring
convey half the current of Rapid creek
to the rich dry basin known as "Capt.
Jacks diggings, - in the southern part
of Pennington county. This will bring
into availability large extent of very
rich placer ground, which has hereto
fore, owing to scarcity of water, been
but partially worked.
A spiritual medium named Reynolds,
from Council Bluffs, Iowa, has discov-
cred and located a very promising silver
lead in Rani1 oraaIy +I,raa ,,,;laS oln,,a
Pactola. He claims to have made the
discovery by following the directions
of his "spirit guides'' A number of
silver veins have since been staked in
the vicinity of the mediums dis
covery.
Judge II. N. Mcguire is energetically
working in the States to make his Black
Hills agricultural colony enterprise a
success. He writes that large number
of farm locations will be made in Pen
nington county the coming spring.
Where is Pactola ? is a question
asked by those who have not kept track
of Black Hills developments for the
last six months. 1t was the former
site of old Camp Crook, being IS miles
above Rapid City, on the Rapid, and
centrally situated, both as to the Rapid
creek deposits and the mining camps
of the Hills generally. At that point
the valley of the Rapid widens out into
level, circular prairie of considerable
extent, the inclosing mountains, which
wall in the townsite on all sides, being
covered with pine forests from top to
bottom. 1t is locality of natural
beauty.
