For Boots & Shoes Ziop's, Deadwood.
New Fire Company.

Many Of the young man of Custer be-
coming impressed with the necessity OF
an efficient fire organization, have taken
the matter In hand and propose to start
the thing themselves. They have with
this object in view two meetings during
the past week, one on Monday and one
on Tuesday evening, resulting in effect
ing an organization with the following
officers and roster:
M.~Dempsey, secretary and treasurer ;
b. +. Towner, foreman CIias. Bowen,
first assistant Sam Shankland Jr., sc.
como assistant; w. j. Acly, AMMAN. The
other members of the company are Ed.
Michaud. Fred Russell, Geo. Davis.
Emmett Meyers, Dick Holt. Geo. Page,
Frank Summers, Stephen Shaffer, Chas.
Batty, +. $. Towner, J. S. Buchanan, w.
Ii. Holmes.
These are all young and active men,
and we think they posses the necessary
vim and energy to keep up an active
organization which will not grow apa-
thetic with disuse. This new company
We understand will negotiate with the
old organization, to see if they will not
turn over to them the apparatus now
possessed by the town, consisting of q
fair hook and ladder and bucket
outfit, only lacking the truck. What
the result will be is not known, but so
far as the Chronicle is concerned we do
not see why it would not be a good
scheme. The boys. are anxious to dis
tinguish themselves and they are Of the.
right sort TO succeed. They would no
doubt be perfectly willing to act in ac-
wi+h.. the views. Of our tire
wardens. and this being the case there
would be perfect hDrmony. Ii is under
stood that there is still due 4 small
amount on the hook and ladder outfit.
If this is the case now is the time to cir
culate a subscription to make up the
deficiency. We certainly need a good
fire brigade here, and it is no more than
fair that the citizens should pay for a
serviceable outfit. If the boys want to
take hold of the matter We say more
power to them.

There are now over twenty-five mica
locations on record in this county. Just
how valuable these mines will prove is
a matter of uncertainty. but it is at least
certain that the mica is abundant and
of IL superior quality.
Mr.. McMaken il making money ship
ping from his mine, north of town, and
his success has stimulated others.
Messrs. LaBarre and Dickover, have
been opening their mine mp Laughing
Water, and there seems every reason TO
believe that they have a good thing.
Henry Otto, occasionally brings in some
fine looking specimens of mica from his
mine, south of town. The same may Ie
said of Mr.. Fcay's mine, east Of town.
Tompkin's mine, on Willow creek,
shows up well also. 1t would seem that
Custer city is about i'm the centre of the
mica, as when a new discovery is made
it always proves TO be about three miles
out, but the directions follow every
point Of the compass.
The price Of mica looks very fatter-
ing, but whether there is market enough
for the product of these mines is rather
doubtful, we hope there is, az they offer
an opportunity for an immediate re-
turn of the money expended in develop
ment.

The Ball.

On Thursday evening last the dancing
people of Custer assembled at Capt.
Haserodt's hall, and devoted the night
to the worship of Terpsychore after the
most approved method. The. affair was
managed entirely by the ladies, and
they are entitled to the especial COM
mendation Of those who wear the biflr-
Gated garment, for the entire success of
the party. Mrs. Sanders, Mrs. Flick, and
Mrs. Knight, were the generalissimos Of
the occasion, and they displayed an un-
usual amount Of administrative tact and
ability. There VAS no hitch i'm the ar
rangements, and the fortunate male
members of the community who were
present had nothing to do but enjoy
themselves and liquidate the bills. This
last little matter was of course to insiy-
n~ificant to mention. The best of music
was furnished by Mr.. Tnbbs and Mrs.
Ely, violinist and %organist. The supper,
a picnic furnished by the ladies, was
bonntiful, plentiful. beautiful, and every
other admiring adjective that ends with
nj, as AL those. who Toasted are ready to
testify.
There were present Mrs. Sanders.
Flick. Knight, Wier, LaBarre, Altofer.
smith, STANDARD. Coleman, Burke, STABLE
ton, Gilbert, Wenzell, Petit, Johnson.
Tnbbs, Ely, and Lewis. The Misses
Sanders, Ward, Page, Smith, Bushnell.
Wier, Petit, and stocks. If we have
inadvertently omitted any ones name
We beg the fair ones pardon. The
gentlemen we're all good looking, CAV.
gallant, etc., and their names have ca.
capped our memory, S for fear that we
mi ght fail to enumerate some one and
get a black eye therefor, we will skin
the whole caboodle. To the ladies the
general desire is to return thanks for
,.alcir very enjoyable entertainment, and
may the spirit soon move them to re-
peat tho good time.

Town Patent.

1t may have escaped from the mem
ory Of even the oldest i%nhabitant that
about one year ago we elected a town
Board of Trustees, for the purpose Of
securing a patent to the town of Custer
city. Owing to various adverse circum-
stances they were delayed until there
seemed for q time no hopes that they
would be- able to secure it, and the peo-
pie were clamorous for the machine to
be creased in some manner that the
speed might be accelerated. Recently
there was received by our town board
a notification that u preliminary steps
we're now satisfactorily completed, and
that upon the deposit Of about $500 or
81, O05 the application for patent would
be ordered published for 60 days. Now
this seems to be a sticker AYE there's
the rub" for in the handling of this
81 900, what schemes may come and
make us rather bear the ills of perpetual
ejectment suits than fly to those We
know not Of. Just where the shoe
pinches we cannot say. The money is
forth coming that we know, but it seems
that those who are willing to advance it
are very naturally DESTROYS to be the
ones 10 attend to its expenditure. Now
to thu CHRONICLE that looks fair enough.
The Lord knows there rs neither profit
nor glory in the %stupendous Office Of
town trustee, and if any one is willing
TO advance the money 10 secure the
patent on condition that they are made
members of the board who are To
manac the patented land, we say let
them do SO by all means and be dubbed
with the euphonious title Of city dad
with as great dispatch as possible. The
position is begging for an incumbent So
far as most Of our people are concerned,
and We will be onlv too willing to install
any half way sensible man, who has got
the lucre to put up for that much covet-
ed but still hesitating patent.
