Dads Duties.

At the last meeting Of our county dads
the question was discussed by them IA
to whether it was their duty to call All
election to elect a school board for this
school township and we understand no
decision was arrived at.
q 1t will be remembered by our readers
that Judge Church has already decided
that the present board is not legally con-
stituted and therefore not qualified to
contract for buildings. etc. What
this district wants is a legally elected,
progressive board that will take an i'm.
terest in school matters and furnishing
the necessary advantages which the
district demands and can afford, OF
which we will have more to sly hereaf.
ter. The commissioners duty in the
premises is the question at present.
We this week consulted our two at.
torneys, MessrS. Knight and Wood, in.
~dividually and collectively, and their
opinion was this: "rhe law leaves nc
Ifs or ands in the way, but expressl,
commands that they shall call an elec
ton for the last Thursday before the
last Saturday of June, 1884 for the pur
pose of eiecting a school board, and a
which all qualified voters of said dis
trict have a right to vote"
The duty of the commissioners i
plain and the opinion given above il
that of the people whom they represent

In another column we mention the
tin mines Of Custer county and the road
leading thereto. On Monday the com
missioners meet and a petition should
be presented to have the road surveyed,
declared a public highway and put in
shape. The commissioners are ready
and willing to take favorable action. If
our people expect to derive any benefit
from that which will be the greatest
mining industry Of the Hills and the
best advertisement for Custer, they
should in thi, matter and that at
once. We are Is miles, more than one
half nearer, than any other distributing
point, and can supply the district.

The Grand Junction.

There is now no doubt but what this
property, which is virtually owned by
Messrs. Alkire, Scott and Beimes Of St.
Louis, will be thoroughly developed the
present summer. Mr.. Beimes during
his last visit here stated that the old
mill would never drop stamps on June
ton ore while in its present location
and certainly not then until the firm
knew what they had got. Aside from
the first superintendent who had charge
of the property, Col. Elliott (who was
nothing If not a crank, all practical
mill men and miners, including Messrs.
Mcdonald, kimble, Oscar Elliott, Jew
EFT, Wilhelm and many others, unite in
the statement that the property is
capable of being developed into one of
the best paying gold mines in the Black
Hills.
In addition to the testimony of the
above gentlemen, the present owners a
short time ago sent an expert to exam
inc and report on the property and after
"a thorough examination in company
with the present man i'm charge, Mr..
Wilhelm, he reported from Is to 20 feet
OF good free milling ore running from
"a to IS per ton. On the strength of this
the owners have asked for ali estimate
Of t'ie cost of sinking a shaft which is to
be located on the east side and south
end Of the mine and "a o as possible
they will probably close a contract for
this development.
From the fact that they propose sink
ing in the location mentioned it would
naturally be supposed that it is their in
tention, if the developments warrant it,
to put the mill on that side and where
the ore can easily be blasted into it II
this had been done in the first place the
property would have been a dividend
paying one at the present time.
The present workings on the mine
have reached a depth of IS feet from
which the projects were obtained on
which the expert above referred to
based his report, and it is the opinion OF
Mr.. Wilhelm that. unless it is the own
ers intention to prospect the property by
a LOO or 200 foot shaft on the east side,
it would be better to continue the pres.
ent shaft OH down to u 100 or $50 foot
level.
1t is our opinion, however, that the
company propose to develop and work
the property on it's own merits from the
east side.

Times, 3Oth: In any other country
than this, Colorado, for instance, with
the prospects that have been found, and
the developments made, the wealth OF
Ruby camp would have been heralded
to the four quarters Of the globe, but
here in the Hills, when it is known that
there is a body of ore from six to ten
feet i'll thickness, underlying the entire
basin, that assays from $40 to 81, 600 a
ton, nothing is said about it, and the
miners who made and developed the To-
cations were laughed at and called
cranks, If they eve intimated that they
had good property. 1t is but very re-
Gently, that any one who had means to
invest could be induced 10 even 90 TO
the camp and see what was there. Since
that time Ruby camp stock has been
looking up, and several sales have been
made of small interests in some of the
locations,

Messrs. Robert Fioorman and son and
Dick Wheelock and son arrived in town
Thursday evening direct from the mines
on Palmer Gulch, in which Mr.. Floor
man has succeeded in interesting New
York capitalists.
He informs us that there Is no doubt
but that the ore is in paying quantities
and that he had. purchased the Cross
mill, a N-stamper with power for 40,
and also concentrators from the Wei
come company Of Bald Mountain, and
that they would be Immediately placed
upon the mine and the ore treated.
Aside from the first discovery MIR.
WheelOck has locations on Squaw creek
which Mr.. Fioorinan proposes to stock
among eastern capitalists.
None of these mines are distant more
than Is miles from Custer which ia ten
miles nearer than Rapid and il is Of vital
importance to our merchants and others
that the road which has been cut
through to Harvey by private subscrip-
ton should he made a public highway
by the commissioners, who should APP
point a supervisor to see that it is at
once placed in No. / condition. Mr.
Floorman informed us that by this road
he thought it was not more than - miles
to the mines. This district promises t.
be the centre of activity the coming sea.
son and everyone we have talked with
from there wants to make Custer their
headquarters for trade, etc, and no
effort or expense should be spared to
make this road one Of the best in the
Hills.
