are now as at all times plenty of people

would say come to the Black Hills
where good land can be had readily
and where good health is certainty.
This latter inducement is far greater

it the rest are worse than useless. This
country is fast becoming famous for its

condense the whole thing the Black
Hills presents more and better induce.
nients to the settler who desires to farm
than any other new country to be found
in the United States.
The general dcsre Of those who en-.
gage in this business is to increase their
herd of cattle as rapidly as possible, so
that the labor Of farming may be grad
ually given up. 1t is already an ac-
knowledged fact that for stock raising
the Hills have no superior, and few, if
any, equals. Our agricultural lands lay
along the foot hills which are not tilable

The Junction.

Col. Elliott has made wonderful
transformation at this mine since taking
hold of it last July. Since that time he
has erected 4O-stamp mill on Spring
creek, about a mile and Il quarter from
the mine; the machinery is all in
place except few unimportant details
which will soon be put in; the engine
room has two large boilers, each capable
of getting up steam offorty-horse power;
the bed Of the engine has been made as
solid as possible, it seems almost in
credible, but the Col. states that there
are 5000 feet Of lumber III the bed alone,
1t is made solid sure. All the beams
of the mill are stayed by what
are called hog chains, while in addition
to all this everything starts from solid
rock foundation. There is little or no
chance for any jar or tremble about any
part of the mill. The Col. intends to
put in carpet tables sand aras:ras immedia.
tely, To cover which an addition will
have TO be built. In the entire structure
there are 300, 900 feet of lumber. Every
thing is put up on the very best model
now known, and it would he hard to
find more perfect and complete mill
in any mining country.
The Office and dwelling house stand
about sixty yards to the west ofthe mill.
This large and commodious building,
built in good style and plas,cred
throughout. The stables, like every
thing else, are built with view to dur
ability asswelI as convenience and taste.
From the mine to the mill a tramway
is nearly completed, which commences
at the west side Of the mine near the
centre north and south. 1t runs from
the mouth of the tunnel on high trestes
to the hill on the north end of the mine,
from this ii is again carried on trestles
across another low place to the top of
the hill ne which the mill sets: from
the end of this a steep double tramway
is built into the mill, SO arranged that
WV io'NNN ."iS pun Up tiiC ihptN Outs,
the cars are dumped into grizzly
which sets on incline, SO that the fine
rock drops on platform from which
chutes lead to the self-feeders; the coarse
rock runs Oh to platform just behind the
rock breakers into which it can be readi-
ly moved. From the rock breakers il
runs into the same chutes that receive
the fine rock from the grizzly.
The tramway first spoken of is to be
operated by horse power from the mine
to the top Of the steep incline which
goes into the mill. At present there is
no one working on the mine, as the Col
considers it in good shape to operate
as it now stands.
The ditch is all ready to receive the
water, and nothing now remains but to
put on the finishing touches to the
machinery, after which the stamps will
drop.
Col. Elliott feels as confident of a
grand success as it is possible for any
man to feel, and that his hopes will be
more than realized is believed by all
who know about the mine.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-The speaker
snip fight opened in dead earnest to-
day, but not over half the republican
members are here. The candidates are
unwilling to give estimates of their
strength. Keifer says he don't believe
any living man can tell how many
states either candidate will get, and as
for predicticting who will be elected
that is entirely beyond human ability.
1t is claimed Robinson Of Massachusetts,
is pressing to the front with some show
of success, having no antagonism. Those
who have waged an active or aggressive
canvass are so numerous that many
predict dark horse will win, as those
forced out of the fight won't give their
support to their opponents. There are
SO republican members from the west;
3 from the Pacific coast, 65 from the
east, and from the south. These nine
from the south would give the east "a,
precisely the number necessary to
nominate, counting the Pacific states.
The rest has only ~, and unless some
Of the western candidates retire and
that section unite on one candidate
there is danger that the east will capture
the speakership. 1t is reported that the
Ohio delegation are not heartily sup
porting Keifer, but the delegates deny
this. F1ur New Workers do not cordial
ly support Hiscock. There is not
single candidate to-day who will say he
believes he will be elected. One repub-
lican says the organization of the house
is 80 slim a minority will be extremely
embarrassing. 1t is rumored that Malone
will give Robinson two adjusters. 1t
stated that the greenback managers are
trying to asc ertain what each candidate
will do for he greenbackers if elected.
Sage of California says. I'VE don't make
any alliance or agreement with the
greenbackers, if we haven't enough
votes for the straight out republican or
ganization we are in favor of letting
those who have the votes take it,"
