CUSTER 7

The pioneer town ofthc Hills is situat-
ed In the southern portion about twelve
or fifteen miles from the foothills and
It's natural advantages are acknowledged
by all as exccliing oil others either in
the mining or agricultural districts.
Located in Il VALLEY ten or twelve miles
long by one mile in width, it is easily
accessible to railroads either from the
east. south or west, and is the only town
in the Ii.llS chat could be tapped by a
road running on an east and west line,
from either Pierre or Chamberlain. To
tap any other town, n road, having as its
objective point the Yellowstone park or
the laciiic coast, would have to make Il
dctour from leo To 200 miles. Already
surveys have been run by various roads
having this point in view. Thus situat-
cd il draws TO its support ;he business
OF the mining districts OF the Southern
Hills and also that of the farming and
stock raising interests, the latter eX-
tending for sixty miles TO the south and
west. 1t is also the centre OF the richest
mica district in The world, there being
within Il radius Of three miles no less
than a half dozen producing mines the
annual yield Of which is upward Of
10000 pounds Of understandable mica TO
the mine. On the north, and from two
to ten miles from town are the bonanza
gold mines Of the Southern Hills includ-
ing the Grand Junction. Old Bill, Hart
ford, Atlantic. Salmon, Il. Elmo, Pcnob-
scot, Gold Star and Others, a majority Of
which have mills, hosting works, etc,
now in operation. On the south for ten
or twelve miles are TO be found rich cop
per and silver mines and on the west
the coal fields, gypsum beds, salt and oil
springs, while fertile farming lands are
sandwiched in between all. AS an illu-
stration of the money TO be made on

full OF life and practical suggestions, from
Mathew i21. by the Rev. s. W. Clemens OF
| Brunswick, N. Y. People continued to ar.
rive up to about o'clock, and II is thought
that about 5000 were present at that time. II
is reported that nearly so police were sworn
In for the day, but there was little occasion
for their services. Liquor in bottles was Ia.
ken from one or two persons, but there has
been no disturbance to note.
One highly respected citizen Of Morrisville
| was unceremoniously hustled out from the
circle OF tents by an over oiiiCious officer fol
the simple offensc of standing leading against
a tree. The large grove, as well as good
deal OF space on the fair grounds and the adj.
iaccnt fields, was taken possession of by an
immense collection of teams of all kinds, and
it seems miracle that so many could be got
out In the network of trees without accident;
but fortunately there has been nothing of the
kind to mar the pleasure Of the meeting from
the first.
a large choir was present with Miss Lucia
Bedding Of johnson as organist. Prayer
meetings were held from till Z p. M, a.
which time the evening service began, being
opened by singing and an earnest prayer by
Rev. Clark Wedgeworth of Bakersfield.
Rev. M. p. Bell was introduced by Rev.
Mr. Morgan, as the speaker Of the evening.
Mr. Bell is the prese mt pastor Of the Meth
odist church at Morrisville and is an influ-
entail and energetic member OF the confer
ence. The speaker proceeded to address the
large audience, the discourse proving most
excellent one. Several persons followed
with remarks by way Of exhortation.
Monday morning found but comparatively
lew on the grounds, although the attendance
was fair, the forenoon trains bringing addi-
lions to the number present. After the GUS
tomary morning prayer meetings, sermon
was preached by Rev. G. w. Ross of Isle
La Motto, he taking for his text John /: 90.
The sermon was followed by exho.ting on
the part of several and a short social meet
ing held before the speakers stand.
A meeting In the interest of the Womans
Board of Missions was held and remarks
were made by several ladies which were
very interesting and profitable. Ministers
present also spoke upon this and other top
les. A small shower in the early part of the
afternoon interrupted proceedings somewhat.
Rev. ID. ID. Mckenzie, former presiding
elder and highly esteemed member of the
conference, arrived on the noon train and
addressed the congregation briefly in the
afternoon.
Preaching services were also held at
seven in the evening. The meetings which
are resulting in no small amount of good,
will be continued through the day Tuesday
and 1t is expected that they will be brought
to close on Wednesday forenoon with the
usual closing ceremonies, love feast, etc.

Rev. VIM, NJ. Baker died Monday after.
noon in south Boston. He was born at
Washington, ID. G., in 1895. He graduated
with honor at Princeton College at the age OF
81. After studying theology one year at
Princeton Seminary and two years under his
father, he sersed as pastor at Galveston and
at Austin, in Texas for 10 years from 1850
to 1865. Mr.. Baker in 1865 accepted the
charge of the Second Presbyterian Church at
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, and afterward ministered To
IA congregation ut Newburyport, Mass. He
became pastor of Presbyterian church in
South Boston, Mass, in 1874, Although he
contributed for years 10 the various religious
journals and magazines OF the country, he al
ways made his literary labors incidental and
subordinate to his pastoral duties, to whichhe
gave the chef energies of his hand and heart.
His writings include Inside, a Chronicle of
Secession originally published IN HaJpe,s
Weekly, THE Nirginians in Texas" The
New Timothy" 1870, "Mose Evans" which
appeared in 1874, His Majesty Myself, and
other works.
