Important to Miners.

Last week Senator Teller introduced
a bill providing that any. person owning
six or any less number of mineral lode,
ledge or blanket claims adjacent to each
other or not more than half mile apart,
on which the assessment labor for the
first year has been performed, may
thereafter perform upon any one claim
of the combined humber the entire as
sessment labor due upon the whole
number Of claims. If pay mineral is
reached on the claim worked it shall
then cease To be called one of the COM
bination and another shall be selected
on which to work the assessment of the
remainder, and SO on until pay mineral
is reached on all or the ground abandon
ed.
The bill also provides that mining
claims located since the 10th Of May
-, whether located by one or more
persons, shall not exceed 800 feet in
lcnght along the vein or lode, and that
no claim shall extend more than 800
feet on each side of the middle Of the
lode or location at the surface.

Great Cry and Little Wool.

The little town Of Ponca, Nebraska
has grown wild with excitement and
self-gratulation over the discovery, at q
depth Of about 600 feet, Of four and
one-half foot vein of coal, said to be of
good quality. They loudly proclaim
that the fuel question OF the northwest
is now settled and the country saved.
They also kicked up their heels with
JOY because somewhere in the shaft
color Of gold was found, and they now
think of entering into negotiations with
the government, to Immediately take
up the government debt. Some long
nosed individual inserted his proboscis
in the shaft, and discovered some pecu-
liar smell, which he at once proclaimed
to be petroleum. Here another grand
flourish Of trumpets proclaimed THAT the
world was TO be at once set ablaze with
light, almost without money and with
out price. The good people Of Ponca
will FINALLY quiet down the same as We
have done here in the Hills. It Is no
unusual thing here for vein Of coal to
be struck or petroleum to be found, but
we don't 60 into any extraordinary
raptures over it. 1t don't pay, and it is
altogether too wearing on a mans stock
of enthusiasm.

MINING LAW.

We have often heard inquiry among
the miners of this county as to what
we're the provisions of the new mining
law, which regulates what is known
dnlOncS prUhpcCtors as assessment work.
To cnligitcn them on this point we re-
publish the following from the Mining
Review of Dec. lth:
Under the act of May -, 1872, section
:a,3i5, revised statutes, the annual ex-
Pcn;ii'ures for Improvement was due
vi, hin each year, commencing with the
date Of the location except in regard to
claims located prior 20 the enactment of
that law, the annual expenditures upon
which were made due by Jan. |. 1873,
and annually thereafter. The purpose of
the amendatory law of January 22, 1880,
was to secure 4 uniform period within
which the annual expenditures should
be required on all locations, and it pro-
vides that such period should commence
on the first day of January succeeding
the date Of the location of each claim.
1t therefore follows that claim located
October |, 1870, requires the expendi-
turc Of one hundred dollars worth Of
labor or improvements thereon within
the calender year Of 1880, and whatever
may have been expended during 1879
will not answer the requirements Of ex-
penditures in 1880. 1t also appears, hy
reason of the change made in the re-
quirements of the act Of May, 1872, by
the amendatory law oflast January, that
claim located on any date subsequent
to the first day of january, 1879, requires
no further expenditure during the re-
mainder of that year than is made ne
cessary by the local laws"
The above is plain enough to be un-
derstood by all, and careful perusal
will be of advantage to all who own
prospects. 1t is most important that
assessment work should be kept up to
the full requirements Of the law As
when the time goes over, if the claim is
good, some one is sure to attempt to
jump it, and man either involves his
claim in everlasting litigation or looses
it altogether AS general rule in this
county, prospectors are very jealous of
their rights and jumping is decidedly
rare, still. whenever the claims come
into market and betoinc. ,,t',16hlc,it sill
lie found that every possible flaw in
title or appropriation win be hunted up
BY some unscruplous blackmailer, and a
clam against which they can't find an
adverse in some wa. or other is sound
one indeed.

CHRISTMAS GREETING.

Merry Christmas! If there is a man,
| woman or child in this county, who was
not hated with this greeting this morn
ing, We heartily sympathize with, him or
her, and should they chance to see this
issue 0fthe CHRONICLE can take the first
two words Of this article for their christ
mas greeting. Just how long the Gus :
tom has been generally observed 10y all
| christendom we are not enough Of an
antiquarian to say, but it is at least GER
tain that it will be observed for all time,
or SO long as christianity continues to
survive as form of religion. Whether
kept as sacred holiday or as mere
festival by common consent, it is at least
certain that its effects on humanity are
beneficial, as on that day every one
with friends desires TO remember and
he remembered by some token Of efiec-
ton and esteem, no matter how trif ling
the gift, 50 that the kindly impulses Of
the heart are awakened and warmed
into activity, no matter how dormant
they may have been for the year pre-
cceding, and one day of kindly feeling
is great improvement over a continu-
ed condition of self qualification or
agrandiAncnt The Natal Day Of our
savior may we'll be held as holiday,
for whatever the religious belief of a
man, be he Christian, Mohamedan, Jew
or Brahmin, SO that he is man of in
telligence, he cannot fail TO note this.
that the spread Of christianity has been
step by step with the march Of progress,
ichtenmcnt. and higher plain Of
civilization. Christianity and improve
ment 60 hand in hand together, whether
one is dependent upon the other or not.
The more that hear the happy greeting,
mtrr Christmas, the better I the vel
fare If the nations Of the world. even in
a worldly or political point ofview. The
children especially look forward to the
day with feelings of the liveiieat antiri.
patton, and To them Christmas Is the
great era o. the year. Whatever OF hap
pineSs the world has in store for child
hood eliminates during thc hristnas
holidays, and that the Youngsters of
Custer county may b" baptized by
veritablc shower from the cornucopla
of snililg fortune, is the finale of the
CHkoN.cLEs Christmas greeting.

The New Road.

| Ffom Mr.. G. II. Clark. one Of our
county commissioners, we cleaned the
following particulars with regard to the
new county road from here to the
Cheyenne river via Battle River Station,
from the survey Of which he has just re-
turned. Mr. Clark, together with Mr..
kemmish, Mr. Davis, ana Mf Clarence
Clark, were employed in surveying end
locating the road which lays as follows
| Beginning at the east line of tie town
| plat, on the French creek road. They
follow down that road to keith's ranch,
! from there it bears to the north, away
from French creek and strikes the
Squaw creek divide in five miles from
Custer Thence it runs down Squaw
creek 8 miles to- Isaac Clarks ranch, from
there detour to the south is made to
avoid bad ground, and the creek is
again touched i'm about seven and half
miles; from there the road follows down
Squaw creek about 81 miles to its juno
tioh with Battle creek which point is
about q mile above the Battle creek
station, from here Battle creek is fol-
lowed down for a distance Of about
miles, on a road at present used but
not heretofore located. This portion it
is proposed to change somev hat SO as to
lay it nearer to the ranchers dwellings,
this would bring it just south Of Ways
and north of Arncld's houses. From the
point on Battl. creek hast named. it
crosses the divide between Battle and
Spring creek in q north. easterly ditec-
ton, extending about 8 miles where
Spring creek is reached from there
Spring creek is followed down to Stearns'
cattle ranch, Il distance Of about miles,
Spring creek is here crossed, and the
road ascends the divide between Spring
creek and the Cheyenne river, this is
followed about miles until the mouth
of Spring creek is reached. 1t then fol-
lows down the river about one mile and
a half where IT crosses the river, at \
point easy Of access with shallow water.
This point is about two miles above the
mouth Of Rapid creek, and is supposed
to be about 10 miles above the Fort
Pierre road crossing, from this point on
the road is not laid IS it is outside the
jurisdiction of our county, on the Indian
reservation. The country to- be crossed
is level and favorable for making con-
neclion with the Pierre road at any
point that may be deemed advisable.
From Custer TO the crossing OF the Csrey-
enne, it Is % miles over :. fair country
for road building most O. the way. From
the head of Squaw creek to Clark's
ranch is where tire most of The work
would be required, the balance of the
way IA fair natural road can be found.
In all places where the road touches
ranches, the 'ners have agreed to put
il in good condition over their lands
and to fix such tridges as may lay near
them. II is estimated that an expendi-
ture of $4,000 would put the entire road
in good passable order for freight o5tfts.
This would be Of incalculable benefit to
Custer city and to the county at large,
as Hayward would be equally benefited
in cheap freights from Pierre. We hope
the road viii be pushed to completion
as rapidly RS may be.

A Beautiful California Cavern.

The following statements may sound
more like romance than reality, yet any
visitor who comes to Volcano can see
for himself, on visiting the mine be-
longing to John Leverone and A. q.
Rocca. Here is one of the most re-
markable of Natures curiosities. 1t
consists of a natural cave discovered
during hydraulic operations. The mine
has been worked for a number of years,
and has always paid the owners hand
some dividend upon their investment,
Very recently, while they were piping,
they discovered that a heavy stream
which they had turned upon the en-
bankment failed to make any impress
sion, and that the water very mysteri-
ously disappeared. Subsequent investi-
cation established the fact that they
had reached the mouth of very beauti-
full cave, the interior of which they i'm
mediately proceeded to examine. Upon
lighting candles and entering the fs-
sure, they found themselves surround
ed by what appeared to be thousands
of blazing diamonds, but which were in
reality nothing more than pendants or
stalactftes projecting from the ceiling
and confronted by innumerable stalag-
mites. No man can visit this cave and
attempt description of its beauties
without being forced to the conclusion
that his descriptive powers are in
adequate to the task. The main en-
trance leads to a room about twenty
five feet in length by eight feet in
width. The genii of Aladdin's famous
lamp never presented to his view a
picture of more dazzling brilliancy than
that which greets the behOlder upon his
entrance into this natural reception
room. Beyond it is a second apart
ment, the interior of which is about
fifty feet in length by eight feet in
width. These two caverns are con-
nected by natural bridge composed OF
carbonate of lime, which stands several
inches above the bottom of the cave,
and in proceeding from the first apart
ment to the second one passes over this
bridge and steps from it down to the
bottom of the second cave, where he is
again confronted by huge pendants
eight and ten feet in length. Above
the mouth of the cave there is a natural
tunnel over 200 feet in length. This
bears every resemblance to the bed OF
an ancient river. In fact, the traces of
the water are plainly to be seen upon
the hanging wall. All visitors who
come to Volcano should without fail
visit this, the most curious of her Curl
osities. 1t would be pity to rob this
cave of any of its natural adornments
were it more conveniently situated with
reference to thoroughfares OF travel:
As the matter stands, l believe some OF
our business men should collect few
of its huge pendants and place them on
exhibition in the museums OF San Fran
ciSco.-C0r. San Francisco Chronicle.
