New Mill.

1t is generally understood that We are
abou. to have another 20-staup mill
pounding upon our rich rock, and that
in short order.
The facts as we learn them are briefly
these; Mr. Hammond, one Of the most
enterprising, as well as the most relia-
bic OF the mill men Of II northern
camps, having become thoroughly iul.
bued with the belief that we have plen-
ty of paying mines, has decided t. erect
and operate a custom mill To be set up
ON French creek abOu: two and y
half miles above Custer City. near The
Patterson boys ranch.
This location is about in the center Of
a large nnmlor Of mines which, have
good milling ore and haze 9~Uttiriunt'dc-
vclopmcnt to insure their being able f"
supply all the quart that the mill can
possibly crush. The Old Bill has con
tracted to I'll ) stamps. the Four Mile
ranch mine agrees to supply ) more; Mr..
Faust, who has some rich mines on
Warren's gulch wil! take > more, and
the Atlantic will keep the remaining )
pOuuGing upon its rich ore.
The proposition which Mr.. IIammYtd
.msLe~4te .tca.An=-@wnsrs is, We thiEk,
IL fair and ven II very favorable one:
That he shah be guaranteed ore enough
to rum ON for ninety days. which he viii
crush for $500 per ton. after that time
he will crush at a greatly reduced price
"a hc determined bv what the character
of the ore proves to be and what he can
afford to do the work for.
The effect of the erection Of this mill
will be most beneficial to this COMMUNE
ty. No private Institution could posi-
blv 10 50 much towards bringing our
mines into prominence. We have been
claiming for a year or more that we had
plenty of mines here that would paw
and We will now be able to prove that
fact bcyonu the possibility of dispute.
The actual cleanup is Il stubborn fact
that is more convincing than all the talk
that our combined army Of miners could
make. We have already made two great
strides towards establishing the fact that
we possess rich mines in the erection and
successful operation Of the Grand juno
ton aud Hartford mills and this. our
third step. will place us under the start
ing wire with Il good send-oif and Il sure
thing To come in ahead at the finish.
The Fort Pierre Signal gives Governor
Ordwav II dig under his short ribs in the
"A mar with q package Of
crackers and cheese. walkidg in the
streets Of Pierre, would hardly be taken
for the governor Of Dakota, by u lot of
mule-skinners and bull-whackers."
Mr.. Ohyc has been fitting up LaBarrc
for school purposes, and will complete
his work by this evening. The build
ing has been made warm and comfort
able and school will be opened on Mon
day morning, September l3, with Mrs.
LaBarre as teacher, who taught the
the preceding term and is spoken
fbv the school board in terms of the
highest commendation. and if the COM
ing young men will give the same at
~tention to their books that they have
been giving to their lassoes during the
past vacation, rapid advancement will

about thirty three and third per cent high

AL About Llght.HOuses.

Recently We run a,hwart two old 'salts, :"
having bit of breeze about Lights" 90
the United States Coast. As both were
wrong, we correct, from official data.
The sea-coast Lights Of the United States
number 4S4. This number includes Houses,
Beacons, and Floating Lights, Of which, on
the Pacific coast there are SO, on Atlantic
coast AS OF this number, SO are on the
coast Of Maine.
There are fifteen Light House Districts,
Maine being in the first. The order of len.
is divided into six classes. Cape Elizabeth
and Seguin are the onlylMaine coast lights
of the first order. The first light on the
coas, Brant Point (Nantucket.) was estab-
lished BY Massachusetts, and coded to the
United States in 1859. Portland Head
Light, established by Maine, was ceded to
the United States in 1890. The Highlands
Of Naresink Lights, the highest on the
coast, are 24s feet above sea level. Seguin
Light, 1870 feet height above sea level, is
visible 10 nautical miles. There are on the
coast Of Maine. additional to the SO lights,
II bells and steam fog-whistles. The frs
established by the United States, was Bos-
ton Old Light in 1874, upon Little Brewster
Island.
Portland Light, the first lighthouse
erected on the coast of Maine, was first
lighted January 10th, 1891. Here was where
the steamship Bohemian met her fate few
years ago. She was wrecked on Trundy's
Reef. RURAL.
