AZ IL lg-Ooos not Sustify o taInped
Mr.. NJ. Dempsey who returned from
the above camp on last Saturday fur
nishes VA with the following items:
Rawhide district In which the Michi-
gan and Mary Jane mines. . bonded,
are located is about four miles from the
old store ut Rawhi1e Buttes TN the
Cheyenne and Custer road and IL about
100 miles from Custer. The camp has a
population Of about 90, and nine out Of
every ten are from Custer, At present
only ten men in the camp are employed.
and these constitute the force employed
OH the bonded property.
One saw-mill at this camp finds it al
most Impossible to procure logs fer lum-
Der and in fact there is none even fit for
building log houses.
Negotiations are pending for the
transfer Of Messrs. Page 4 Dcnpscy's

company for $4,000. The bond on the
Michigan and Mary Jane expired yea.
terday, and the chances were last week
in favor Of its being taken.
HARrvILLE,
4 seperate ard distinct camp by it.
| self, is located ahout 25 miles southwest
Of Rawhide and contains the mine sold
by Jeff McDermott. About 90 or 60
souls is its present population and n
majority of whom are from ulster.
Outside Of the work being done by pros
pectors twenty men arc employed grad
ing for the thirty ton smelter which is
to be erected. the lumber for which will
have to be hauled from kawhide if it
can be procured, il not either from the
Hills or Cheyenne.
NOTES.
Wages are $3.50 per day for miners
average groceries about the same as here
in Custer.
Hay has to be hauled 20 or 80 miles
and very little If any has been put up.
Potatoes were selling at 5 cents per
pound and -four at $500 per hundred.
A week ago Wednesday news was
brought in OF q new discovery at Lara
mic Peak, Which stampeded all the I'M
employed at Hartville and Rawhide.
In Mr.. Dempsey's opinion it will be
impossible for either camp to amount to
anything as a business point before next
summer.

1t is q great injustice to Pennington
aud Custer counties that they are de-
barred from any voi"e in the election OF
q member Of the territorial council. If
the population oflhc two counties WIS
not sufficiently large to entitle them to
a member of the council, VIC should at
least have been annexed to some coun.
Gil district. As it Is We are entirely
without representation or chance Of rep
resenta.ion in the council. The in
justice Of this action Of the legislature is
manifest to all, and We incline to the
opinion that were the two counties to
combine and elect e member Of the
council lie could not be denied q seat in
that body. Total Acknowledgement is
something to which we should not SUBJ

Mr.. Nowlin who was present strongly
opposed the adoption Of this resolution.
but it was supported by every delegate.
II is q compliment which Mr.. Nowlin
merits from his party, and a mark of the
confidence reposed in him. While it
does not bind the delegation. to work for
his nomination, it is evident that he is
considered by his party in this county a
good and competent man for the posi-
ton, and we have no doubt his name
will be favorably received by the joint
convention. We believe the democratic
party Of Pennington and Custer counties
have no better mar in their ranks for
member of the Legislature, and If he is
nominated and the republicans Of this
district make All equally good nomina-
ton we will have no fears that our in
~terests will suffer in our next legislature,
let the election result as it may.

With this issue the CHRONrcLE enters
upon its third volume. For the past
two years we have labored in our pres
ent field and il VIC have benefited Custer
County and City we are certainly glad
Of it, and for the past liberal patronage
Of our advertisers we return thanks and
shall try and merit a continuance Of the
same. When on the 18th day OF Sep
TENDER 1880 our first number was issued,
it Yves not under the most favorable cir
cumstances. but believing in the vast
mineral, agricultural and stock raising
resources of the country, We set
stakes here and 1t has been our ambition
to thoroughly advertise and bring those
resources before the public, and last but
not least, to catch on TO the almighty
dollar. In looking over the many per.
manent improvements made in Custer
county and the numerous mining com
panies organized and now in active
operation in the various surrounding
camps, together with the prosperous
ranchers who have since located in our
midst, We feel called upon to congratu-
late ourselves on having accomplished,
TO n certain extent, a portion of our IN
bition in advertising our source and
thus contributing to the county's pros
perity. With our first issue Of the
CHRONICLE not q stamp had been drop
ped in tn. county, to-day she has five
stamp mills, ag%grcgating ll5 stamps,
capable Of crushing go tons Of ore every
twenty-four hours, and a fair prospect Of
one company adding 100 stamps to their
plant before the completion Of our third
volume. In the same time four mica
companies have been added to the roll,
whereas only one, the McMaken, WAS
then In operation. In Custer City the
improvements have been many and in
| clude the finest courthouse in the terri
tory, besides numerous stately brics and
frame residences; and in II business
circle can be found new faces represent
ing different branches of business not to
be found in September 1880. All Of this
is just catse Of cong atulation to our
people and we take this opportunity OF
rendering 1t. Another cause Of congrat-
ulation il the fact that the CHRONICLE
has increased largely in its foreign cir
culation and is to-day read by more peo-
pie in the different states east and south
than any other paper published in the
Hills. and the county and town is thus
given the advertising medium necessary
to bring capital and population to her.
Having gained the first part Of our am
bition We naturally turn to Il accounts
and pocket-book only to find that We
have succeeded in publishing a paper
for two years, where others failed to run
one six months with u far more liberal
support than we have received, but the
fact that such is the case is all we can
find TO our credit on the books. Our
health in the meantime has improved
and We are no longer greatly in reed OF
the bracing air and fine climate found
TO be SO beneficial to those suffering with
ill-hcalth. We mention this latter fact
for the benefit OF our delinquent sub.
scribers who will please govern them.
selves accordingly.

The Milford and Orange fair was enabled to complete its exercises on Monday with the annual exhibition of horses.
 The display of fruit was remarkable for this year. The procession on Friday did honor to the farmers of the two towns, and the trotting of horses on Monday did some- thing to inspire every young man with the laudable desire to own at some day 6 noble animal, as the horse is.
 Our citizens have enjoyed great treat in two lectures on temperance by the Hon. Ed ward Caswell, of Ontario. On Monday evening good audience came to the First church to hear him, though it was dark and misty night. He showed the weakness of moderate drinking in clear colors, and warn ed the young men and boys present not to take the first glass.
 On Tuesday night the audience was fully four hundred and full of earnest enthusiasm. The speaker rebuked the supineness of us all who say we have been fused" to the woes of intemperance, and bid us wake up to duty. He left 8 final impression of duty to be done to our fellow men that will bear fruit here It did bear fruit that night, in the list of names of our best people that were secured to an application for charter to organize a division of the Sons of Temperance here, an organization which has done immense and permanent good in our land.
 MT. Polly, one of the Sons, secured this treat for us. Wherever MT. Caswel shall go on tour of featuring in the State, under the auspices of the Sons of Temperance, let all men know that in Mir. Caswen they have man who is a member of the Church of England and therefore places the Church of Christ in the foreground, yet he welcomes every honest effort to help in temperance He has smooth and flexible voice. great powers of imitation, fund of anecdotes, usually drawn from experience, and the power to mako little boys say, ''He makes it so clear that we cannot help seeing his mean ing.''
