Two Big Clean-ups by Custer Companies

"
THE JUNCTION.
Last week rumor had it that the
Grand Junction company would be com
PEELED to shut down, that the
mine did not pay and a good
deal to hat effect. As in every other
community there were those who al
ways look ut things in the worse light
and are continually railway against fate,
who accepted the rumor as gospel truth.
The cleanup, however, which was made
the first Of this week, gives the rumor
the lie most emphatically. From IA run
Of 400 tons of ore a retort weighing ~
ounces was made, which is worth about
$40 pei ounce making the neat little
sum Of $l,2l6. 1t will be seen by this
that the ore averaged a triAe over So
per ton, and as the actual cost of mining
and milling does not exceed IL LOO per
ton a profit is left the company Of s.
per ton. The forty stamps now run
| will crush p tons TO the stamps every
t%wenty-four hours, and the company are
or ought TO clear about $500 per day,
and with the 81 per ton which it costs to
mine and mill the ore and which il nee
e~ssarily circulated in Custer We can
count on the company adding about
$4,000 to Clusters bank roll during the
next six months, and it is reasonable 70
SIIppoea that this ounouut will he in.
creased to $4,000, the $4,000 additional
being spent for further improvements.
THE PENoBsCoT.
Messrs. Fortune and Switzerland are
pushing developments at the Penobscot,
at the same time keep ten stamps of the
old mill going which yields them II suhi-
cient sum to pay all expenses. The last
cleanup, made last week, was the
largest eve made on that ore and gave
a return of 800 per ton. Mr.. Souther.
land informs us that one blast the first
OF this week knocked down ovcr 600
tons Of milling ore. TO do this two
holes were drilled, one IA and another
II feet, in which four kegs of black
and ten sticks of giant powder
were used. AS the mill is but 100 feet
or so from the mine and the two are
connected by a tramway, the manage
ment are undoubtedly mining ard
crushing their ore for less than a dollar
a ton.

lie was accompanied by the Rev DR..
Ticks by special invitation of the presi-
dent Guiteau submitted a synopsis of the
phamphlet he has prepared as. tending to
show the insanity of his brother, and also
a copy of The phamphlet itself. He made
an earnest effort in behalf of his brother,
and urged The president to give an oppor-
tunity to fully establish his brothers real
mental condition in the manner proposed
by DIR Beard before il Is toe late He was
confident that proper .rnedieal examination
would show his brother was utterly ire
spansibIe for his actions He depIored his
brothers crime, and could only account for
It on his theory of Inspiration Rev
Hicks stated to-day he has not asked The
president 10 repieve Guiteau ON the ground
of insanity as he does not claim to be an
expert on that question He has seen the
president merely in order that he might
give any Information concerning Guiteaus

ought to be desired, !. He says Guiteau is
steadfast in his theory of inspiration, and
does not want any body else to say he is in
sane. When informed of the efforts MAX
ing TO obtain q respite, he said he hoped
the president would find it his duty TO God
to grant him a pardon. as that might be
the means of educating tlle people up To-
his theory of inspiration. but if it could
not be done he would rather be huug. the
sooner the better. His last admonitien to
