The Dance.

The dance given Thursday night BY
the Custer City Brass Band, brought to-
gether one Of the largest crowds that
has ever assembled in the court house to
honor Terpsichore. The music furnish
ed by the band was the best We have
heard in the Hills, and whispered words
of commendation could be heard on
every hand. The band from the top Of
the court house called the people to-
gether by playing three pieces, and also
furnished the music for the opening
march. one schottische and waltz. The
remaining dance music was furnished
by an orchestra selected from the
members Of the band. The entertain
ment in connection with the refresh
ment stand melted in the neighborhood
OF $JOO.

western vs.. Esstern Mining Operators.

1t is supposed that the arrival ofthe St.
Louis parties, representing the Grand
Junction company, and their visit to
Deadwood is for the purpose Of redeem
ing the mine, which was sold at sheriff's
sale on the Bailey mortgage about u year
ago, the time for it's redemption having
expired last week a sherif7s deed war
given to the holders of the paper, John
X. Wilson and the First National bank,
who declared their Willingness to deed
the mine back to the company when
their account, aggregating about $4,000,
was settled.
1t is to be hoped that the company
will 0 settle all outstanding debts, as
they are fully able to do. But right here
we would say that their modus operandi
so far, however, is the same that has
characterized all eastern companies OPP
Grating in the Hills, who are noteworthy
for their eastern righteousness, and
who seem to think that it is the duty Of
our home merchants to carry them I'M
til the mine has been put upon "A paying
basis. This kind of management has
been a curse to the Hills and is account
able for the present hard times; and
this is also true of every camp
in which eastern companies are operat-
ing.
II Is a well established fact, no matter
how rich a mine may be, that it de-
mands an outlay of thousands of dollars
to plant the necessary machinery and
get the mine in shape so that the pro
duct will be sufficient to pay expenses
and leave balance in favor of the mine.
This has been the case with the Home
stake, Dead wood Terra and De Smet,
which are dividend paying mines, hav-
ing already paid their stockholders
millions of dollars; but the capitalists
that nave had the management Of these
mines are western men, not afraid to
back their superintendent judgment
with the cash, instead Of asking the
merchants and the hard working miner
to do it for them. If a company com
posed Of such me had the handling of
some of our Custer county properties
we could bet on having a boom of mas
todontic proportions. We have the
mines and all we need is the right kind
of men to back them.

we ceriaini. feel proud ofthe Congrc-
gational church building which adds
much to the solid look of Custer. We
can now boast Of having one of the finest
church buildings in the Hills and al
though our citizens have done their
share in contributing to the building
fund, the pastor, Rev. Atkins, deserves
great credit for his ~persevering enter
prise in originating the scheme and
pushing il to completion.

The Sioux City q Pacific.

Occasionally for the past two years we
have mel toned the fact that the first
Railroad & reach The Hills would be the
;. {. IL T., also that the first town i'm the
Hills to be connected with the Missouri
river by rail would be Custer, and not
withstanding the various schemes con-
cocted in the fertile ~ilnaginations of the
various journalists Of the Hills, the fact
that w were and are still correct, will
occasional crop ont in the columns Of
the various papers Of the northern
camps, vide the following from the
Pioneer Of the 18th, under the head line,
The Cars are Coming"
"The Pierre coach brought, among
other passengers, James Thompson, a
gentleman prominently connected with
the Iowa Central railroad. Mr.. Thomp-
son is largely interested in the Sand
Creek Hydraulic company, and visits
the Hills to personally inspect this valu.
able property. In conversation with n
party Of Deadwood gentlemen. last even
ing, he said the Sioux City 4 Pacific
road would be the first to reach the
Hills; it had steadily been working up
the Niobrara valley with an objective
point, at, or near Spotted Tail agency.
But the wonderful growth of the cattle
interest in this section had changed this
plan, materially, and the fact that there
were over 100000 head Of cattle OH
ranges above the Belle Fourche, had
convinced the managers Of the road
that the Black Hills was the proper
place for the terminus of that road.
An important meeting of the promi-
nent officers of the Sioux City and Paci-
fic road was held "A short time since, at
which it was determined to push the
construction with all possible dispatch,
and it is expected that the road will be
extended this season far beyond what
was originally intended when the work
Of construction was resumed last spring.

GENERAL ITEMS


Caugnt on the Ely by Assessor Thornby.
W. j. Thornby, who left here about
three weeks ago on an assessing tour,
returned last Thursday and furnishes
us with the following items:
sQUAw AMI BATTLE CREEK.
All tillable land on these two creeks
is under cultivation. and the rains hav-
ing rendered irrigation Unnecessary
there is every prospect ofa big crop of
cereals.
Geo. Palmer, an old Custerite, is
ranching on Battle creek about twenty
miles below the Sidney station.
The Harvey Hydraulic company have
all their tressel and fume work com
pleted and are mining III Mitchell bar.
TwoTrexcrvoirs Of this company and q
large portion of their hume was found
to be in Custer county.
superintendent Eddy has a force Of
men at work on Mamaluke Hill and is
making big ~clean-ups, which has given
business at Hayward an impetus and
the town is now booming.
The two mica mines on Grizzly gulch
are being developed and are showing up
some good mineral.
BUFFALO GAP.
The ranches in this vicinity are look
ing splendid and the farming communi-
ty is represented by four busy Bis and
an X. Messrs. Boland, Bond, Brunsmith,
Brooks and Reno, who have planted
several hundred acres.
UP NO. 12.
Last week the roundup, which is the
largest in Dakota. over two hundred
men being employed, was on Horse
Head. The continued rains has retard-
ed the work somewhat and the finish
will not be made before the first of July.
The stock men are jubilant over the
result so far and say that their loss this
year amounts to almost nothing while the
increase has been unusually large, and
are unanimous in prOnouncing the
range the best for stock that they ever
saw.
A "a hours rain last week necessitated
a lay owe at Whitcombs on Hat creek,
where the genial Phil Clark resides and
about 100 Of the COW boys endulged in a
grand stag dance, language fails us in
trying to describe the fun had OH this
occasion.
Phil Clark, AL. Powell, Coffee, and
others of the boys who are always well
come at Custer are enjoying the best of
health and doing good work.
Mr.. Web Arnut, as foreman, is giving
good satisfaction.
County Surveyor Brewer is in the
Warm Brooks country running surveys
for irrigating bitches and will probably
be engaged in that country during the
most of the

Death or Piercy.

BosTos. January s.-Pisrcy died ct
about 2 o'clock this morning. The dis
ease assumed the continent form, and
although there were strong hopes OF his
recovery his condition yesterday. when
the crisis was reached, was found to DO
80 serious that death was inevitable.
During his sickness the superintendent

firing In their efforts for his welfare,

possibly have received had he been sur.
rounded by his family and friends.
