A party of men who left Minnesota
to improve the road on the Dickin.
son route, have returned. They went
as far as the Short Pine Hills. and
put in several bridges on the route.
From that point there were four OF
five hunters trails, one of which they
selected and put it in good condition
for travel. BY actual measurement
they claim it is fifty-fve miles from
! Deadwood to the Short Pine Hills,
! and 100 miles from there to Dickin-
son.-Black Hills Times.
The printers on the Bismarck Trib-
une struck Tuesday evening, but the
Tribune staff. most of whom were.
fortunately, printers, took the cases
and the Tribune appeared as usual.
The strike WAS caused by a new EN-
ploye refusing to take his card from
the st. Louis union and lepositing it
with the Bismarck union which de-
manded his discharge and was re-
fused by the Tribune.
The appointment of VIM. Gibson

and final proofs can be made before
the probate Judge and this will he of
great convenience to the citizens of
Stark county as we'll as saving them
the expenses Of a trip to Bismarck
for filing OF making final proof.

George Auld and VIM. Davis AZ.
rived from the Black Hills yesterday,
They were we'll pleased with the cor
dial treatment they received at the
hands of the citizens of the Hills.
They did some effective and com
mendable work for the new freight
and stage line while there and say
that the business men of the Hills are
holding meetings and are enthusias.
tic for the new route. They will act
as forwarding agents for a number
of large firms in the Hills. with head.
quarters at Gurley L Vinton's. VIM.
Keegan, and L. G. Jones, of the firm
Of Jones Bros, one of the largest con.
tracing and freighting firms i'm the
northwest, accompanied them Oh
their return. Mr.. Jones has with
him contracts and documents from
sixty-iive of the leading firms i'm the
Black Hills, who ship about twenty
million pounds of freight annually.
and they have pledged themselves to
ship via Dickinson providing certain
conditions are complied with, and
there is no doubt they will be. Mr..
Jones leaves in a day OF two for ST.
Paul to complete arrangements for
carrying the Northern Pacific ex-
press, when he proposes to put on a
daily stage line between here and
Deadwood. The Jones Bros. are well
able to establish and maintain daily
stage line, as they have about 900
head of horses and abundance of cap
ital to back them and there is no
doubt but that it will prove a paying
enterprise. We believe that the time
has now come when our citizens
should take final action in regard to
putting this end of the road in good
condition and bridging the streams
that need it, and would suggest that
a meeting be called by the president
of our former meetings.
