BLACK HILL

The boom in Deadwood real estate is ur,-
PARALLEL.
a Deadwood actress, Ella La Lue, ownes
two fine farms in Illinois, one worth $4,000.
Sluicing on Whitewood gulch has been very
satisfactory, the diggings paying S. to the
man, although bedrock has not yet been
reached.
Since the first of October twenty-five
burglaries have taken place in Central and
not one case has been ferreted out by the
law.
A fusher little place than Deadwood, says
the Black Hills Pioneer, would be hard to
find. Every fellow has a pocketful Of cash or
promising rock.
The other day a large rock, thrown from
the DeSmet mine by a blast, went through
the roof of the Golden Gate hotel. Fortu-
nately no one was hurt.
Work has been suspended on all the
shallow placer mines in Deadwood gulch.
As the number of drifting ~diggings in that
gulch is small, little if any mining is being
carried on.
Custer City is to have a new paper and the
people of that enterprising town have raised
about $500 by subscriptions as a bonus
for the prospective journalists.
According to the Black Hills Times, as
soon as the building material is removed
from the streets. the improvements painted,
awnings up, and sidewalks down, Deadwood
will be a ten times better and pleasanter city
than it was before the fire.

BILE, and since blackboard spe. ulations are gem

BILE, and since steck-board spe ,ulations are gem
orally remunerative only to the inside men,
the new company have wisely concluded to
~inaugurate mining enterprises on a new and
improved basis. They subscribe to a capital
stock and employ responsible and competent
agents to make examination Of all properties
to which their attention may be directed. In
cases where favorable reports are returned,
steps are to be at once akenf for the purchase of
the mines recommended, and their systematic
and honest development. The liability to be
imposed upon and swindled is thus greatly
decreased and profitable operations may be
safely guaranteed if care is taken in the
selection of honorable, scientific and practical
agents for there is no longer a doubt in the
minds of intelligent men that the judicious
investment of capital in legitimate mining
enterprises is attended with far less danger
than any other speculation in which moneyed
men are at present risking their means. In
the event of the new organization beginning
active business as it is claimed its members
intend to do, Montana, and especially the
Summit Valley district, may expect to be
visited by the comrany's representatives, in
which case the investment of more New York
capita! will follow as a matter of course.

Senator Sharon, the great Congressional
absentee, who has with unblushing cheek
continued to draw pay for services to the ma
ton which he never rendered, has finally
concluded to visit Washington. 1t is not to
be supposed that however he will humiliate
himself by descending to the labor of a CON-
mon Senator. 1t may therefore he presumed
That he condescends to visit the capital for no
other purpose than to draw his salary for the
term, after which he will doubtless return to
California, where his personal Importance is
moro generally conceded.

The Boise Statesman says the wire bridge
which is being rebuilt across the Salmon
river, on the Warrens and Florence trail, has
been tipped over into the river by a hurri-

In Leadyille, last Monday night, a man was
robbed in the street, and having only fifteen
cents with him was shot three times for disap-
pointing the robbers. This is a new idea,
and if generally adopted by these tootpad
gentlemen, poverty will become dangerous
as well as inconvenient.
Nearly every dwelling house in Salt Lake

simple conversational way, which made it
very Interesting. She was dressed in The

There must be a mistake somewhere. ]

There must be a mistake somewhere. 1t
is stated in the dispatches that two men, one
fiom Indiana and one from California, have
lately received official appointments from
President Hayes. 1t will certainly occasion
widespread amazement when it is known
that Rutherford has introduced an innovation
in the manner of exercising his appointing
power. What has Ohio done that she should
be thus robbed of her we'll established privi-
lege of furnishing government officers to the
Administration party? Is it possible that Mr..
Hayes has given an office to every man in the
Buckeye State, and that he has to go to Indi-
ana and California for more official material?
1t is evident that there are no more private
citizens in Ohio.

A Il

The incorporation in New York of a novel
and peculiar mining company was yesterday
announced by the telegraph. 1t appears that
men of capital who are anxious to invest IN
Western mining property are not overbur-
dened with faith in the u%tterances of expert
bubble-blowers. Hundreds of impecunious
and unreliable adventures from Nevada and
California have visited the wealthy cities of
the East and deluded inexperienced men into
the purchase of worthless wildcat property.
The success with which this s~windling bust
ness has been conducted has to a large extent
brought legitimate mining into disrepute
throughout the country, nor is it until the last
few months that the eyes of investors
have been opened to the necessity of scien-
tific and practical examination of the mines
TO be purchased. They have but just discov-
cred thai implicit reliance on the statements
of those who boastfully claim to possess val
liable mining property is certain OF resulting
to their financial disadvantage; whereas in
vestme,.t In mines of whose perlnanence and
richness they have satisfied themselves by the
testimony of honorable men, has invariably
resulted in large profits.
They have also ascertained that the value
Of a mine is by no means established by its
being placed on the stockboard and that with
out a personal examination of the mines in
oiporated the stock Of which is offered to the
public, there is by no means even a reasona-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The following tel
egram was sent to-day from Washington:
To Gen. Hatch, Ute Commissioner, Los Pinos
Agency:
Receive the surrender of the Indians desig-
mated by your Commission with the under
standing that they will be guaranteed a fair
trial by a military Commission outside Of
Colorado and New Mexico. Inform Ouray
that he will be received here with four or five
Uncompahgra, and three Southern Utes, and
three White River Utes. Take care that good
and influential men may be selected, especial
ly from the White River Utes. 1t will proba-
bly, be desirable to have Jack here. Take
possession of the prisoners with a military
guard and convey them in the first place to
Fort Leavenworth. (Signed)

Some member of Congress, whose name has
not yet been made public, yesterday covered
himself with immortal glory by submitting a
bill providingan amendment to the Constitution
declaring that polygamy shall not be allowed
to exist within the United States. The pro-
posal of this measure stamps the proposer as
a statesman. In no other way than by a
popular vote can the sentiments of the people
be ascertained in relation to this great ma
tional disgrace. There is little doubt, how
ever, as to the nature of the verdict. 1t is not
possible that a majority of the nation are in
favor of further liberation of the polygamous
religion or OF a Quaker policy in dealing with
its crime-stained opponents. The people
of the United States are law-abiaing,
civilized and respectable, and it is
hot reasonable to suppose that they will vote
to maintain any religious practice which is
law-defying, barbarous and indecent. The
triumphant success of this long-headed Con-
gressman's proposition for an amendment
may be regarded as assured beyond a reason
able doubt, and the moral force which the
popular ratification of the measure would
exert on the members of Congress would be
certain of resulting in the enactment of such
legislation as would speedily induce John
TAYLOR to have another revelation on the Di-
vine ordinance, or fold up his tent and silent
ly steal away together with his polygamous
brethren aud his Utes.

When it was first rumored that Secretary of
War McCIeary was to be appointed Judge of
the Eighth Circuit, by President Hayes, the
Republican journals ridiculed the idea that he
would receive confirmation by a Democratic
Senate. A dispatch received yesterday, how
ever, announces that the appointment, on the
recommendation of the Judiciary Committee
was confirmed without a dissenting Demo-
cratic vote, showing that the Republican Or
gans have lied.

From the fact that the story relating to Til
field was first made public through the New
York tribune, it was scarcely necessary for
Uncle Sammy's friends to circulate a denial
of the yarn. However, lest there might be
some people who actually believe the politi-
cal reports in Jay Gould's stalwart Republic
can organ, the Tilden Democrats have seen
fit to contradict the Tribune invention.

There is certain lady in New

as many anecdotes as those told OF
Mrs. Scarborough, of London, by
that reckless wit, M. J. Byron; I;
only the American subject being
by no means a Mrs. Malaprop, and
the point Of the stories is not
wholly of O verbal character. All
manner of celebrities, from Charles
Dickens to the Grand Duke Alexis,
have laughed at her utter lack OF
conventionality. her infantile af-
fectations and the way in which
she sets at defiance the fashions of
the day in regard to dress, not to
speak of the etiquette that governs
society in other respects-withal,
SHE is q good-hearted woman and
her hospitality is cordial to de-
gree. A clever, quick-witted per-
son she Is, too, and it Is q constant
source of wander to her frieudH
