A 6melter for Copper.

The owners Of the Gray Eagle copper
mine have entered into an arrangement
with some parties by which fifty-ton
smelter liz to be erected for the reduction
Of the ore within four months from the
time Of signing the contract. One the
owners Of the mine who visited Rapid
City on Wednesday Of this week, ex-
presses confidence that the smeIter will
be upon the ground and ready for active
operations inside of one. half the time
allotted. We have made mention Of
several tests made Of ore from the Gray
Eagle at this place Of late, and Of the
fact that late developments upon the
mine have disclosed considerable body
yielding a very large percentage Of me-
tallic copper. All that has deferred the
introduction Of machinery for working
this property has been lack Of rail or
other quick and cheap means Of trans.
portation. Despite this however, the
parties now interested seem inclined to
commence the production of copper bull
lion in the Hills. They certainly have
made good selection in their base OF
operations, AS the Gray Eagle is mine
not only Of great promise, but even now
sufficiently developed to insure a good
ore supply for long time ahead

A letter is published in the Journal Of

the Valentine freight contractors. offers
to carry the mail one round trip .
week, for three months. between Rapid
and Valentine for consideration Of
81 900. The letter is from q citizen Of
the later place who states that that place
proposes to raise 500 Of the 81 900 and
wants Rapid to raise the other $500.
The Journal thinks that il will be
hard matter to do SO at this time. The
object of all this is to get the route es.
tablished for three months and at the
end Of that time the government will
make regular mail route Of IL, which
would be very smooth for the contractor
and undoubtedly be Of benefit TO the
two towns 30 connected.

Democratic.

Washington, June l3-Randall re-
turned from New Pork and Philadelphia
to-day. He was greatly encouraged by
his visit. He remarked this morning
that the next important event in the
world Of politics would be the conven-
ton TO he held at Saratoga on Wednes-
day next It's action would have great
influence or the Chicago convention.
From this and other remarks q theory
has been drawn to the effect that Ran
dali hes great hopes in the event that
Cleveland should not be indorsed by
the New York convention. Randall's
interest in the Saratoga convention is
shared by many democrats in Congress.
They are all awaiting its action as al
most definite Of the result at Chicago.
The majority Of the senate is for Bayard,
with Cleveland for second choice; the
majority Of the house is for Cleveland,
with Bayard as second choice, and there
are Randall men, and Mcdonald men.
and handful who don't know their
own minds and are for various miscel-
laneous candidates, Flower, Voorhees,
and almost every body who is mentioned

ion Of the question does not rest with
them. If it did, if "A congressional eau.

Cleveland and Mcdonald, or Cleyeland
and some other western man with q

to morrow on a good revenue reform
platform; but. as it is, they can only ex
press their choice and leave the result
with the convention. At present every
body recognizes that the New York
convention will determine the outcome
ut Chicago. If Cleveland is indorsed a,
Saratoga. he will be nominated at Chi
oago. If fanybody else is Endorsed there
or if there is split, then the nomina
tion will 60 to Bayard or Mcdonald

From Mr.. Chris Jensen, proprietor Of
the popular Deadwood and Hot Springs
stage line, we learn Of great activity
among all mining men generally, and
recent developments in the mines In
the Southern Hills are serving TO draw
to that section some Of the most promi.
nent magnates ofthe Hills as well az the
east. Among those who have recently
been on prospecting tours from the
northern Hills are Samuel McMasters.
superintendent of the Homestake mines,
and Engineer Blackstone, Of Lead City.
They were in the vicinity of Hill City
for several days, but what conclusions
these gentlemen arrived at is yet un-
known.
1t is not surprising to learn however
Of their visit to the tin district. for in
the light of recent discoveries, il is
quite certain those rich resources are
sure to give our industries such q per-
manency as will lend prosperity TO every
enterprise aimed in that direction

Tarring "A Rat.

Rats are wonderfully clean animals,
and they dislike tar far more, perhaps,
than any thing else, for if it once gets
on their jackets, they find it most diff
cult to remove. Now, had heard it
mentioned that pouring tar down at
the entrance of their holes was a good
remedy, also placing broken pieces of
glass BY their holes was another RENE

tive. The rats may leave their old

Full Breathing.

We have always maintained that the
most important agent for the preserva-
ton of health and the cure of disease
is a full and constant supply of pure
air for the lungs. Al! the plans for
svstematizing exercise by combining it
with proper pleasures should be en-
couraged. Horseback riding, walking,
bicycling. foot racing and athletic
sports are hardly less valuable for the
increased quantity of air that they
compel us to consume than from the
exhilarating and heulthful effects pro
duced in our minds. In order to be of
real value, exercise should he regular
and, if possible, i'll the open air, and
sufficient each day for the wants of the
system, but never excessive. Extremes
are always dangerous. Gymnasiums
have caused the breaking down of
hundreds of young men. Fearing to
90 out in inclement weather is IA vain
fear. There may be a day occasionally

is likely to he the worse for thorough
drenching or wet feet. Air is the best
of all blood purifiers, and the more
thoroughly the lungs do their work,
the purer the blood and the less LA
hility will there he to disease. be-
lieve that the chief cause of pneumonia
is breathing impure air, and next to
this oyer-eating. Both tend to befOul
the blood. The victims of this dis
ease are principally among good
livers,' who do not take sufficient eX-
ercise in the open air. The disease
seldom attacks those whose occupa-
tiuns require them to spend much OF
their time out of doors. The main
object of exercise, then, is to compel
| the breathing of as much air as is re-
quired for the elimination of effete
matters from the blood. and the re-
