/Deadwood News, ooh: D. T. Bramble
left BY this morning's coach for his home at
Yankton. Mr., B. has identified himself
with our interests for several years and
takes an active part IN alt of our public
affairs. Last season he contracted for 9
great deal of freight which came to the
Hills via Missouri river, Fort Pierre and
bis bull trains. He has a great advantage
over competitors in the summer time o,
low freight. Since the September fire be
has delivered 10 Deadwood two million
pounds Of freight, and for next season he
has contracted with teams enough to keep
five trains hauling freight. each train bav.
ing a capacity of hauling one million
pounds. From this fact alone the outside
world can form a fair idea of the immensely
of Black Hills business.

vestments 1892, 2l1-showing a total in
come of $1,000, 500. For most companies

capital but it appears that the assets Of the
Mutual Life exceed $ss, 0oo,o 200, and it paid
upon its policies more than 81, 00O, 900
the year, besides the sum of So, 5 !
300 set apart for dividends to be awarded to
