tation.
I~nexhaustible beds ofgypsum encircle
the entire Hills, just inside the foothills
and outside the main Black Hills. At
present it is only used by plasterers.
With the advent of railroads, it will be
shipped to the states east Of the Missouri
rive, there to be used IA a fertilizer OH
their worn out lands.
Petroleum is found on the west side Of
the Hills in Wyoming territory near the
boundary line between Dakota and
Wyoming. No works have as yet been
established for refining. 1t is only used
for lubricating purposes by the Home
stake and other companies at their
mills.
Salt springs are situated about eight
miles northeast Of the oil springs and in
Wyoming territory. Salt for the entire
Hills is manufactured here, and sold on
the or und for two cents per pound.
Marble of beautiful purple color is
found near Rapid City and Custer, and
sand stone, granite, slate porphyry and
limestone is plentiful, and is found in
every part Of the Hills.
The Black Hills is a well watered
country, being drained by the forks Of
the Cheyenne river and their tributa-

CUSTER CITY,

The pioneer town oftl,e Hills is situat-
ed in the southern portion about twelve
or tifteen miles from the foothills and
its natural advantages are acknowledged
by all as eXcclling oil others either in
the mining or agricultural districts.
Located III a valley ten or twelve miles
long by one mile in width. it is easily
accessible TO railroads either from the
east. SOUTH CIR west, and is the only town
in the Hills that could be tapped by q
road running on an east and west line,
from either Pierre or Chamberlain. To
tap any other town, a road, having as its
objective point the Yellowstone park or
the Pacific coast, would have to make a
dctour from 100 70 200 miles. Already
surveys have been run by various roads
having this point in view. Thus situat-
cd il draws TO lis support the 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 Il half dozen producing mines the
annual yield of which is upward Of
.0,000 pounds Of understandable mica to
the mine. On the north, ard 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, st. Elmo, Penob-
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 apl silver mines and on the west
the coal fields, gypsum beds, salt and oil
springs, while fertile farming lands are
sandwichcd in between all. As an illu-
stratiOn of the money to be made OF
even Il small piece of farming land in
The valleys surrounding Custer We will
state that j. n. Wright on seventeen
acres, located two miles west of town,
cleared 81 800 in one summer On the
south, within six or eight hours ride,
are the famous Hot Springs, whose cur
ative powers are already attracting the
attention Of the outside world, and
which are equal tosNhose of Arkansas.
The town is the county seat of Custer
county, which has an area Of 5000 square
miles, two-thirds of which is agricultural
and grazing lands and the other third
mineral, the latter occupying the north
ern portion of the county are covered
with Il heavy growth Of Norway pine.
The town has a $4,000 court house, two
fine Observation-Disclosures, belonging to the
Methodist and Congregational societies,
and will soon have a large school build
ing. Business is increasing, improve
ments are being made daily and it is
bound to be the metropolis ofthe South
ern Hills. All those of our eastern
readers who think Of coming to Dakota
to locate aud invest in either mercantile,
mining, agricultural or stock-raising
pursuits can do no better than to camp
in Custer county or city.

THE NEW PAVILION.

EDS. RECORD UNION: May suggest con-
siderstion by the proper authority of the
idea of placing the new Pavilion opposite
the State Printing Office, instead of in the
oval of the Park. It would then be in the
very centre of the city, and the park between
the Capitol and the Pavilion be as large as
now between the Capitol and the printing
Office. Besides, the building would not then
ceed to be 80 ornamental, and the grounds
could be more easily kept. G. L.

THE ALDEN FBTtr AND rARo COMPANY.
An Account Of Their Works and Their Business
Intentions.
THE WORKS.

AI ONA
At Waikiki on Maui is erected a building three
stories high and forty feet long by thirty feet wide
which is the scene of the works of the Alden Fruit
and Taro Company, and at the rear of the main
building are the boiler rooms. All the machinery.
engines, boilers and evaporators are erected, the
mill only is wanting TO enable the company to
commence their work on a large scale and it Is now
on the way from America in one Of SpreckePs YES
sells. The mill consists of nine rollers in three sets
Of three each. they are corrugated spirally from
coarse to fine, and the taro, which is evaporsted by
the Alden process, passes through the mill and
subsequently, through the boiling cloth which sep
arates the various qualities as middlings is sepa-
rated from -four. The bananas are dried in the
Alden evaporator which is capable of turning out
two tons Of fruit a day.
THEIR BUSINESS INTENTIONS.
Dr.. Enders and Mr.. A. Barnes are at present the
whole owners of the property and have expended
some SIS. 900 in purchasing and erecting the nee
esssry buildings and machinery. They have ap-
piled for a'charter of incorporation, but, owing to
the gread demand for shares from people who are
anxious to have an interest in the business they are
now doubtful about accepting the charter and talk
of keeping everything in their own hands. They
propose to make the taro into q -four chiefly for
making poi as it will prove invaluable to all en-
ployers Of labor who need no longer run the risk
OF having sour paiai left on their hands, the nour
is also useful for making breakfast cakes and pas
try when mixed with -four and for other cooking
purposes. Within two or three months they hope
to establish large works in Honolulu as this port
will be more convenient for shipping their manu-
features abroad. The bananas are to be dried in
two different manners, one without sugar like the
preserved apples and peaches, and the other with
sugar to be used more as confectionery. They are
now able TO turn out fifty barrels Of -four a day
but experience some difficulty in obtaining the
necessary quantity Of taro so they are planting
some sixty acres near their works and now have
thirty-two acres under cultivation. The bananas
will be shipped chiefly to San Francisco from Ka-
hului as there will be no market here for them,
large quantities will also be sent to Germany
where they are in great demand. Agents will also
be appointed in New York where the taro will be
utilized largely as a medicinal food. The enter
prising owners hope to be able to supply the hos
pita1 and all the local government institutions
such as the leper settlements, police and army
forces with taro of good quality at a reasonable
rate; they at any rate deserve Encouragement for
the spirit of enterprise they have shown.

Baseball.

The practice game of baseball between the Hon
oluluans and the Kackiaks was played on Saturday
afternoon ami Va aISiiy won by the former; the
latter had nine innings while the former refused to
play their ninth because it was too late 10 play
anymore; they were quite satisfied with what they
made and did not wish TO discourage the Kackiacks,
for fear that they might play wildly in the coming
match. ~
The game at first was in favor of the kac&ilekS
up TO the 7th innings they having two runs ahead
Of the Honoluluans. On the eighth innings the
Honoluluan captain asked the boys to " brace up"
which they did, walking away as easily as possible
from the Kackiacks. At the close of the game
cheers and shouts for the HonoluIuans we're loud.
The scores stood as follows:

Fire kitinguishsr.

Messrs. Dillingham; & Co. have received by the bark
| Lady Lampson some of the Hardness Fire Extin-
guishers which they claim will extinguish fires in
their incipiency even If of Or alarming extent and
without the usual damage caused by water. Their
effect upon a fire is said to be marvellous and al
most incredible without ocular demonstration,
and they require no expense or care to keep them
in an operative condition.
They possess several essentials among which are
their adaptability and efficiency for snnihilating fire
smoke and heat, the simplicity and durability of
the machines; the ease with which they can be
operated; the great and positive e~xpelling power
which far surpasses the best chemical machines
the positive security from explosion and danger;
the economy in expense in keeping these machines
in an effective condition for a period of years; the
purity, efficiency and Interchangeable character of the
compound; the freedom from injury to dry goods,
clothing, furniture and all fabrics; The certainty
with which their usefulness can at all times be as
certained.
These machines are not dependent upon bi-car-
Donate Of soda and s%ulphuric acid, or any other
chemicals, for the generation of carbOnic acid gas
for the expelling power, but they are provided with
8 removable metallic bottle, which is supplied
with compressed air at a high pressure, and are so
constructed as to retain the pressure any length of
time. Each bottle is provided with q gauge which
at all times indicate ties the condition Of the machines
and the amount of pressure instantly available,
and it requires but a glance to ascertain their con-
dition.
The machine has been tried in Honolulu and
with a three hundred pound pressure the water
was thrown clean over their store. Some excel
lent testimonials as to its success have been re eeiv-
ed and satisfactory experiments have been made
with it in the United States where it is generally
used in hotels, clubs, theaters. business and pri-
vate houses. Messrs. Dillsngham & Co. are ar
ranging for a public trial of the machine in Homo
lulu.
