Attracting Attention.

Rapid Republican: Our tin mines
are attracting marked attention lately,
and Of a nature to warrant the conclu-
sior that they are all if not more than
our people have imagined. Capitalists
come to the Hills without any avowed
purpose, visit the tin mines at once, and
depart and within a few days some
BODY is quietly negotiating a purchase
OF the particular property examined.
Prominent railroad men come, and at
once repair to the tin district Of course,
nothing is made public. Mining ex-
perts, mineralogists and geologists Of
worldwide reputation come TO the t:m
mines, and give them a very careful in
vestigation but, aside from few gen.
eralities, nothing is given to the public
Everything is kept very quiet. Not a
thing is said or done which is calculated
to create the least excitement or en-
thusiasm here but in the meantime the
properties are being quietly bought up.
That tin exists in vast quantities we
know that the ore is Of a quality which
will pay for its reduction We also know,
from the fact that practical tin men,
after making the most careful examna-
tons Of the mines, are quietly buying
them up; and We may reasonably ex
pect that this quietnde in the business,
which We may fairly call "still hunt"
will continue until companies which
have interested themselves in the busi
ness shall have secured title (at least
possessory) to the best locations, or a
majority of them. With another year
We may expect new departure. The
men who are investing large sums OF
money in these mines will not always
permit them to remain idle. Quite an
amount of development work is now
being done, and another season we may
expect the establishment of works fol
the reduction Of the ores at Harney and
Hill City, that will give employment

Sioux City & Pacific.

Times, 29ih: A Sioux City man just
in from the Northwestern extension
west Of Valentine tells a Journal re.
porter that the grading is progressing
finely. The ninety miles under con-
tract to OHara Bros, from Valentine TO
Gordon City, on Antelope creek, is well
under way and will likely be finished
excepting the cuts. when the freeze up
comes. rhe deep cuts being largely
sand, will be taken out during the win
ter. 1t is the plan Of the contractors to
have the entire work completed at least
as early as track can be laid in the
spring West Of Gordon City the line is
located for fifty miles to White river,
and as the ties are coming for all the
track 70 White river it is evident that
he ,dAitioual fifty miles will be put un-
der contract in time 10 get graders on
the ground when spring opens. The
engineers are locating a branch, which
leaves the main line at White river and
takes north course to the Black Hills.
Three surveys have been made, but if
any route has yet been decided on it is
not known outside the officials Of the
company. Settlers are rapidly taking
mp the lands about Gordon City and
White River Junction.
The survey party reached Fort Meade
on Sunday. What ITS future movements
will he cannot he ascertained. Chief
Engineer Ainsworth has returned east.

directly or indirectly, to thousands OF
men. An enterprise Of such importance
cannot be established in a day, or i'm "A
single summer. The world was incredu-
lous that a treasure Of such fabulous
value had been discovered in the Black
Hills. We. ourselves could not for a
time realize the importance Of the dis
covery. but, little by little, the impor-
tance and glad reality Of the find has
dawned upon US, until now We know
the rest is only question of little
time.

Campaign Predictions.
DEMOCRATIC.

The New York World Of the oath
editorially says: "Thc skies are grow
ing bri :hter politically. Reports from
the interior of this state are full of en-
enlargement for the friends of Cleve-
land and honest government. So far as
his portion of the state is concerned
matters could not be in better shape.
The city will give Mr.. Cleveland at least
10000 majority. Brooklyn and Kings
county are good for G0,000 or more. 1t
Is Us certain as anything political can be
that Mr.. Cleveland will receive a larger
majority this side of Harlem bridge
than Mr.. Tilden received in 1876.
INDEPENDENT
New York World reporter on the
23d interviewed Mr. Deming, chairman
Of the national committee Of Indepen-
dents and Republicans, as to the dis
affection existing among the republi
cans: Mr. Deming said:
1T is a conservative statement to say
that exclusive Of New York City and
Brooklyn the republican detection in
the state at large is not less than 10000
Ever since early last July We have been
corresponding with every one whose
name We could learn in any way as in
sympathy with our movement. Some
times we would secure the name from a
local paper, sometimes the name would
be sent us by one ofour correspondents,
and in large majority Of instances the
first intirnation we would have would
he be by letter from the man himself
AT first our correspondence was mainly
with large cities, then with smaller
cities and towns, and now the bulk of it
comes from remote country districts
Usually these letters give MS the names
Of still others who are in sympathy with
us. We then enter into correspondence
with them and so, little by little, our
list of names has grown until the figure
the limit AS local organization and
committees have taken hold we have
turned over to them the special work
for their locality, but we know from the
names enrolled with us over the writer's
own signatures and from the names
guaranteed TO us in great variety of
ways that the figure have given of the
republican detection outside Of New
York City and Brooklyn is far within
the mark"
"Have you any fear from the demo
cratic disaffection
81 have no means Of judging the ex-
tent of that disaffection, but of this / am
sure-the entire Tammany strength in
New York City can be delivered bodily
to Blaine without affecting the electoral
vote of the state Of New York. There
must be wholesale democratic detection
throughout the entire state in order to
defeat Mr.. Cleveland. This much is
certain-the Independent republican
revolt is so widespread that it ia an after
physical impossibiity for Blaine to re
ceive the electoral vote of New York
without the aid ofthousands upon thou
sand. of democratic votes. If Blaine re-
ceives the electoral vote Of New York
the democratic party must bear the dis
grace"

Sample returned last evening from a
trip to the Carbonate camp, where they
found Supt. McMaster, of the Iron Hill,
somewhat under the weather, but work
progressing satisfactorily in the mine.
Uprises have been started from both the
60-foot level, and the 2OO-foot level.
Each are IN ore, the upper one in rock
ofa superior quality.
Abont thirty-five tons of ore have
been delivered to the Hattcnbach smell
ter, which, it is expected, will start up
on Monday. Difficulty has been ex-
perienced in obtaining lime and iron
fiux, but such it is believed, has been
overcome.
The Eureka company is prosecuting
work on its ground with encouraging
results. The shaft on line between
the Jay Gould and Yankee, is down
about twenty feet. with every indication
of approaching an ore body. smatl
crevice has been struck in the Gait
field.
The Father DeSmet has declared its

Welcome mill is now nearly in readi-
ness for start up, One more day will
see it all arranged but it will not start
up before Monday morning. On that
date it will most assuredly be turned
loose. OF the success of this principle
we think there can be no doubt 1t is
simply the old principle of rock crush
ing as used in all of the mills of the
world, on an extended and improved
manner The first process l., IA rodk
crusher that reduces all of il fine enough
for battery, and il then goes through
crusher that reduces it still finer, from
there it passes through a multiple crush
er with seven sets of jaws that makes it
absolutely fine. 1t then passes through
a revolving screen previously described
in the Pioneer, that takes out all coarse
PARTICLES that are cirried by an elevator,
and again passed through the crushers.
The COMPANY now have water on hand
to make trial run of several weeks,
and by that time they will have an
abundance Of water. 10 procure this
water a ditch two and half miles in
length has been dug, and the boxes to
place in it are all made and on the
ground, and when put together and
placed in the ditch, it will be covered
and secured from frost. To make this
ditch it was necessary to tunnel a point
of the mountain, a distance Of $50 feet,
and 320 feet Of this tunnelling is now
completed and firmly and substantially
timbered. On the remaining portion Of
the tunnel three eight hour shifts Of
men are employed all the time OH each
end, and but a short time will elapse
before the great bore is completed. Ten
miners inches Of water will be secured
by this ditch in the lowest stage.
