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 lnbricating 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 md for two cents per pound.
Marble ola 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 IA well watered
country, being drained by the forks Of
the Cheyenne river and their tributa-

county are situated mine raj springs
which are fast acquiring reputation Cor

CITY,

The pioneer town ofthc Hills is situat-
ed in the southern portion about twelve
or fifteen miles from the foothills and
its natural advantages are acknowledged
by all rs excelling oil others either in
the mining or agricultural districts.
Located i'm Il valley ten or twelve miles
long by one nrile in wid'h, it is easily
accessible to railroads either from the
east, south or west, and i the only town
in the HIS that could be tapped by a
road running on an east and west line.

mica district in the world, there being
within a radius of three miles no less
than a half dozen producing mines the
annual yield Of when is inward of
10000 pounds of mcrchantable mica to

THAT REPORT.

It must not be taken for granted that
the late report of the Grand Jury is to
meet the fate of its predecessors. The
matters sst out in that document are of toe
great magnitude and Importance to be
allowed TO olumber beside the report in a
pigeon hole at the County Clerks office.
The Supervisors must, when they again
meet, be prepared to enter upon immedi.
ate investigation of the charges made.
They owe it to the public, and we doubt
not they will be prompt in the premises.
They must provide committee, OF new
members, OF course, give it power to call
and examine witnesses, to make inquiry
into books of account, and enter into a
searching inquiry with view of putting
the facts on record. The Grand Jury has
made the charges let the Supervisors fair.

apply a remedy wherever an evil is found.
To this end it will receive the aid and
countenance of every good citizen, and the
RECORD UNION pledges itself to further
the work by all legitimate means at its
command. The matter must be proceeded
with upon the basis OF justice, and with
the intent to harm no citizen. but to shield
no man.

A PETITION PROM yoLo

Several hundred petitioners, residents of
Yolo county, have sent in memorial to
the Legislature in behalf of the fishery in
terests that are being injured by obstruc.
tons at the mouth of Cache creek, caused
by deposition of silt and the thick growth
of willows which check the flow of the
waters. Because of these distractions the
salmon, salmon trout, shad and other
valuable food fish cannot enter the stream
to deposit spawn as in the past, hence they
seek the shallow waters of the tule basin
and there, running up into the millions,
are recklessly slaughtered or die as the
waters fall and grow warm under the sum-
mer sun. The people of Yolo ask legis.
lative aid that the old canal from the
mouth of the creek to the bay may be
opened up. If this is done, the fishery
interests will be much enhanced. The re-
quest appears to be reasonable ore, the
sum asked for is not large, and the need of
the work is apparent. 1t will enable
millions of fish to be saved annually, and
will add immensely TO the propagation of
the varieties, to which the cool, clear
waters OF Cache creek in the past was 50
inviting.

HoW qHEY p1FPER

The Examiner in its laundering about

made great discovery. This consists in

The WHISKY BILL.

Evidently the Bonded Spirits bill is dead
for this session of Congress. Yesterday
the House, by what may be taken as test
vote, refused to take up the bill, even for
one hour. This settles the fate of the
whisky spectators, probably, for the pres
emit, and now will begin their struggle to
influence the next Congress. In the mean
time the whisky ring can bring on that
threatened panic, and get over with it.
Postponement Of these things only adds to
their severity.
