Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1882-03-25

Gangs of miners are being taken from
the Comstock lode, in Nevada 70 work
mines in Mexico. These mines are
situated near Ari.pe, Sonora, four miles
east Of the Sonora river, l32 miles south
of Benson, Arizona, and us miles south
of Tucson. The nearest town is Sino-
quipi, nine miles distant. From Benson
the men are taken to the mines by the
companv'S teams. The ledge is fully
four miles long, with crOppings Of vary
ing width, at one point 300 feet wide.
Several spurs branch out from the main
road. The deepest excavation on any
of the veins is but 2l0 feet. The ledge
contains regular free-miliing silver ore
with about 20 per cent of gold. The ore
closely resembles that of the Comstock
and those interested in the ledge hope
it will prove second Comstock in all
respects. The prospecting so far has
been mainly done by Mexican Indians
whose easy habit it was to quit work on
Saturday taking a resting spell and not
resuming labor again until the following
Wednesday. The company now propose
to employ white men only, and give the
preference to the reliable and experience
ed miners of the Comatock.

Senator Van Wyck of Nebraska intro
duced a bill in the senate on the Ssh en-
titled, "a bill 10 settle and confirm the
titles Of purchasers, per-emptors and
settlers Oh the public domain It's
principal feature is to direct the at
torney general TO appear and defend the
title of the purchaser, pre-emptor or
settler whenever any railroad or other
corporation claims the same land under
land grant OF the United States to said
corporation. 1t provides that he shall
appeal the case to the supreme court If
necessary to settle the title, without re-
'al q to the value of the property or the
residence Of the parties in interest, and
also that all proceedings ard executions
shall be stayed except in the test suit.
This bill has grown out Of the investiga-
tions of the proceedings of the assi.nees
of the Denver and ~. Joseph railroad
company against settlers in Nebraska,
but lis provisions are broad enough to
protect any class Of persons in Kansas,
Iowa, Maine, Michigan and the terri
tories where land-crant roads are locat-
ed A number OF The committee on public
lands are known to be favorable TO the
provisions of this bill, ard it will un-
doub,cdly be fIvorably reported and
urged 10 passage.

A Human Electric Battery.
New York World.


The Australian Electric Boy ut Bun
nell's Museum was born in Ireland and
when about eight years old give evi.
dence Of wonderful electric power that
has kept developing since. The only
food for which he cares is that which
contains phosphorus. All other kinds
he rejects with disgust When not suf.
ficiently charged with magnetism he
complains of nervousness and headache
When he goes to sleep the supply OF
electricity becomes slightly diminished
but is much more constant than during
his waking hours He is now about
twenty-five years old, with nothing in
his appearance to indicate the posses
sion of this wonderful power.
When he touches any one a current
Of electricity passes from him into the
other, producing the tingling sensation
that arises from contact with a galvaniC
battery-varying in strength with his
physical condition. He told World
reporter that he was always charged in
the morning, but that during the day hi
gave off SO much power that it left hin
completely exhausted in the evening.

The Mutual Mining and Milling Company
Times, 18th.


This is the name of the latest mining
and milling company formed in the
Hills. The company is composed of
New York capitalists and owns some Of
the best locations in this section of the
country. The ground controlled by the
company is situated near the head of
Sqnaw creek and north of the Trojan
and Portland mines, and on the same
belt, and is known as the New York
group Of mines. The property is well
developed, having one tunnel of 200 feet
and another Of 100 feet, besides other
improvements in the way of drifts,
winzes and shafts. The property has
been worked by the original owners for
over two years, and like all owners of
good ground they kept the public in
complete ignorance of its merits and
prospects. Last Gll the property was
taken in hands by Mr.. S. r. Romans,
who went east and succeeded in placing
it. and formed company of capitalists
who will thoroughly work and improve
their purchase, and at no distant day
will begin the erection of reduction
works. The mines have been consoli-
dated and stocked under the general
nanc Of the Mutual Mining and Milling
company with capital of $l00,000,00O
divided into 250,00o shares at par value
OF IS per share. George Al. Mirrielees
has been elected president of the com
pany, and is said to be possessed Of
ample capital and has the reputation of
being an honest and upright business
man. Mr.. Romans now has some of the
stock, and this morning made Messrs.
Craig, Davidson, Ellis, Little and others,
the original owners and locators, happy
ty paying them the snug sum of 10000
for their interests. The company as
previously stated, propose to begin de
veopng and building They, by pur-
chase, also own a splendid water right
with sufficient water to run a stamp mill
of the largest capacity the entire year,
and which part of their property, like
AL the rest, is free from all incum-
bra,iccs and contests. The stream emp
ties into the Speartish and does not run
through any other mines or claims ex-
cepting through those ofthe corporation
owning it. Surely everything indicative
of success so far points towards the new
enterprise and it is to be hoped that its
early completion will be one of the
Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1882-03-25
The Old-Fashioned Mother.

Thank God some Of us have had an
old-fashioned mother. Not woman Of
the period cnamele and painted, with
her great chignon, her curls and hustle
whose white jeweled hands never felt
the clasp of baby fingers but a dear,
old-fashion"d, sweet voiced mother,
with eyes in whose clear depth the love
light shone, and brown hair just thread
ed with silver, lying smooth upon her
faded cheek. Those dear hands, worn
with toll, gently guided our tottering
steps in childhood, and smoothed our
pillow in sickness, ever reaching out to
US In yearning tenderness. Blessed is
the memory Of an old-fashioned mother.
1t floats to us now, like the beautiful
perfume from some wooded blossoms.
The music of other voices may be lost
but the enhancing memory of her will
echo i'm our souls forever. Other faces
may fade away, and be forgotten, but
hers will shine on. When in the fitfnl
pa,lses of busy life our feet wander back
to the old homestead, and, crossing the
well-worn threshold, stand once more in
the room, so hallowed by her presence
how the feeling of childhood innocence
and dependence comes over us, and we
kneel down in the molten sunshine,
streaming through the open window
just where long years ago we knelt by
