The vast amount Of rain that has fallen

snow that covered the ground during

Cattle will not come to the streams to

From Messrs. Jewett and Mcdonald,
members ofthe above company we learn
the following:
The st. Elmo Mining and Milling
company is incorporated under the laws
Of Dakota with a capital stock of $4,000 0
divided into 100000 shares al 81 each.
The officers Of the company are ID. NJ.
Gillette, president, and l.. r. Graves.
secretary, both residents of Deadwood,
and who have placed 10000 shares of
the stock in Chicago the money recciv-
ed to be used IA working capital. Messrs.
Mcdonald apd Jewett who hold about
a third Of the stock are now at the mine
experimenting developments and get
ting the mill in running order, with the
intention Of starting up shortly.
The above will be good news to our
readers and with the company back OF
them there is no doubt but that the last
mentioned gentlemen will show UP q
ledge on the st. Elmo property that on
account Of its richness, will astonish the
| world.

School Bonds.

One week from to-day is the time set
by the Custer School Township Board
for the people to decide on the issuing
of $500 bonds to be used in the erec-
ton Of a school house. Our readers and
the voters of this township are fully ac-
quainted with the situation and should
be aware Of the necessity of every one
turning out and casting his ballot in
favor of the proposition. BY this means
we can secure a building that will not
only be beneficial TO the educational in
terests but also an ornament to the
township, and at ne direct cost to the
resident taxpayer, as enough town lots
will be sold by the close Of another year
to liquidate the debt thus incurred aud
leave a handsome cash balance on hand.
Aside from this there is one other rea-
son why a full vote should be polled,
which is this: 1t is intimated by some
that a majority of the board, at the
slightest excuse, will let things remain
as they are for the next year to come,
that they would not have went so far
towards the desired end had they not
thought that some stone would have
been thrown in their way to prevent its
accomplishment and at which they
would have been pleased to let matters
rest.
For the above reason those holding
such an opinion should surely vote to
bond and thus refuse to roll the stone
in the road.
Then again, those who have faith in
the honest intention Of the board should
rally to the call aud cast a solid vote for
the bonds in order to make it plain that
the board are carrying out the will Of
their constituents.
Remember, next Saturday, July Goth,
is the day and every voter should put
in y vote which reads: "For School
House Bonds"

The past year IS, 774,Sl in taxes were
collected and paid out, which added to

highways, at the lowest estimate, val
ued at $20,0O0.00.

spring where the miners get their water
and which is nearly a half mile from

where pure spring water has worked
