Sunday Gulch.

Special correspondence, June l5.--To
one who liz quietly slowed away in the
darksome recesses Off Black Hills forest,
items are as scarce rs hens teeth. The
only theme upon which to discant would
be the weather, and that has been SO
abominable that it can only he mention
ed in connection with words that would
not look we'll in print in SO respectable
journal as the Chronicle. There is n
great deal Of activity manifested among
the owners Of property and prospectors
in this section, and, / think, there will
be solid substantial results come from
the work being done this season. You
will permit me to say, and not regard it
as egotistical or attempting TO vaunt
superior skill in mining, for | am un-
skilled in that but to me, after looking
over the country very considerably, the
only trouble with this section has been
lack Of work done as it should have been
done in systematic manner. GOpher
holes are as thick as "leavcs that strew
the vale of ValamLrossa," but there is
no mining with few exceptions. The
Grizzly Bear being an honorable one
that / have seen. Why, if that Bear
mine was in the upper country, in Colo
RADIO or Idaho, there would he an cx-
citcment about it that would reach to
the uttermost parts of the earth.
l hear that tin has been struck near
IIarney, if this be true it will be ofincal-
culabe benefit to the Hills; one that
will dwarf every other mining enter
prise yet started, and we have colossal
ones Let us hope that tin has been
found in paying quantities.
OF other works about it is only nee
cssary to say that work is being pushed
actively. Messrs. Joyce and Christian
son are prospecting in this section and
have already made some locations, that
they are good ones there is no question.
They are not the men to fool away time
on prospects not worth looking after.
In conclusion see no reason why the
people of the Southern Hills may not
confidently look forward to a bright
future. They have all the resources for
making one of the grandest countries
the sun ever shone upon. A few more
days Of hard work, patience and pluck
and the much desired result will be at
tanned.

Our Land Omcers.

This land district has, since its organ.
ization, been fortunate in the land Off.
GERS appointed. The duties Of register
and receiver have generally received
prompt attention, and persons having
business with the Office at Deadwood
have been treated with uniform cour-
tesy. The manner in which the busi-
ness of the Office is transacted at the
present time, with Mr.. Luse as register
and Mr.. Champlin as receiver, is such
as to give entire satisfaction. Letters
addressed to the Office for information
meet with ready response, and appli.
cants for entries Of land are never kept
waiting. The whole business of the
Office is carried on in way that shows
the officers and clerks are thoroughly
familiar with their duties, and more
than this, that they are prompt, courte-
Gus and oblig;ng in their dealings with
the people Of their district. But one
fault can be found with the land Office,
and that is in its location. We think IL
should be placed here in Rapid City.
which will shortly be the centre Of Q
large land district, and the most accss-
sible point from every partion.--Jour

The possibilities of electricity in medi

recent practice have yielded to a moder.

There is much nonsense talked about re.
garding the value of foods. Chemically
considered it is well-known what the con.

secret that the values of different articles
vary greatly. But it is too frequently
overlooked that the food which hunter

sedentary life. On what the former would
starve the latter would live nobly.
Good Health explains that large part Of
the growth of tree is derived from the
sun, the air, the water, and but little from
the earth that wood and coal are but con-
densed sunshine, which contains msgnesis,

sential to both vegetation and animal life !;
and asserts that every human being ought

blood, lime gives durability to the bones,
and the magnesia is important to all the
tissues.
