TIN.

The p~rospectors Of this vicinity who
expect to discover veins Of tin ore that
will give AZ high as % or so per cent Of
tin will do well 10 read and ponder owe
the following from the st. Louis Age Of
Steel:
"The most talked about and probably
the most important tin occurrence in the
United States is in the Black Hills in
Dakota. The discovery dated from June
1883, when the Eta mine. which is about
six miles east of Harvey Peak, IL miles
from Custer City. aud twenty miles from
Rapid City. vas discovered. The min
eralizaiion here 10 remarkably even.
The masses Of greissen are rarely with
out the black grains Of cassiterite
sprinkled through the mass. The per
centage Of black tin is not yet ascertain
ed by working in a mill In u large way,
but average samples show that it is
about 2 l-2 percent. Hand samples Of
selected rock will yield as high as 8 per.
cent. The result originally obtained bv
sampling the outcrops was 3 percent. A
sample lot Of two tons Of griessen rock
ore sent to New York, and worked yield.
ed 3 and 4 percent of concentrate-black
tin Of high grade-some of which, smelt-
ed by Mr. Riotte, an the New York
Metallurgical Works, gave u number Of
twenty .five-pound bars Of excellent tin.
These percentages are, of course, indie
pendent of the massive cassiterite, of
which some hundred weights have been
found outside the gricssen rock. This
occurrences is exceptional, but more may
ut any time be brought TO light By the
excavations. The percentage of black
tin in the ore compares favorably with
that found in the ore of other tin re-
gions. The general average percentage
Of black tin Of six large mines upon the
great fiat lode Redruth, Cornwall, in
1876, vas 2 22-l00, and less than this
has been worked with profit in some
places"
The reader will observe that accord
ing to the above the percentage IL
not Of pure white tin but Of biac k tin or
concentrates and such being the case
Custer can show numerous mines that
on the surface viii give a higher per.
cent than those of Cornwall.

The Uncle sam company has effected
purchase Of the partially new and mag.
nifcent hosting works Of the King
Solomon, and will let a contract at once
for their removal to the mine. The
property, involving all machinery,
originally cost about $50 1000, and was
bought by the Sam for about $4,000.
The company has not decided upon an
enlargement Of the mill, but it is highly
probable that twenty-five stamps will
be added. at an early day.
Negotiations are pending between
Colonel Davey aud the Red cloud com
pany for a four months lease Of the Red
Cloud mine, with the option Of purchas'

that the propo ed arrangement will be
effected. in which event the Sitting Bull

Pioneer Press: Mr.. ]. r. Buchanan,
general passenger agent Of the Sioux
City & Pacific road, was in st. Panl yes.
terday. He states that the extension OF
the Fremont, Elkhorn 4 Missouri Val
ley line Is being put through. They are
building l42 miles of road from Valen-
tine to White river. At present the
road rests there in the heart Of a fine,
fertile country, and is claimed to be the
shortest of any route to the Black Hills
1t is only forty miles from Buffalo Gap,
Hot Springs, and eighty.fve from Rapid
City. There are now on hand seventy
FIVE to one hundred miles Of sixty-pound
steel rails beside ties. The road will be
completed by the middle Of August
This will form a part of the system ot
the Chicago x Northwestern that last
summer bought the Sioux City 4 Pacii,
and the Fremont, Eikhorn & Missouri
Valley line. In addition to the attrac
tons To general immigration on account
Of the good government land now fol
the first time available, there are thu
Buffalo Gap Hot Springs, said to possess
unrivaled curative properties. The late
discoveries of tin ore in the Hills have
commanded the attention Of casters
capitalists, who are now going in tt
develop these mines, as well as the GOLD
and silver claimed to he there. For the
area OF the Black Hills country, said Mr.
Buchanan, there is probably no territor,
80 rich in minerals. 1t is not de,ermin
ed what further extension of the new
road will be made. The terminus viii
be near Chadron, in the new county o
Dawes, Neb.

The Sidney Telegraph says that A. E
Schultz, through his attorney, w. C.
Reilly, has entered suit in the district
court against the Wyoming Stage com
pany for the sum of $4,000 for the loss
of his feet while in their employ. The
substance Of his petition 10 as f,llows:
"The plaintiff entered the employ OF
the Wyoming Stage company and on
the 18th day Of November was ordered
to go into the line Of the company and
shoe horses at stations where required.
That he was unacquainted with the
route, that the stage company provided
him with unsuitable conveyance and
failed to furnish wraps to protect him
against the inclement weather. Plaintiff
says that because of defendants neglect
and lack Of diligent care and also by the
erroneous and false instructions Of one
Of the company's employees, he was mis-
led sc TO the road and los. upon the
prairies, and not having sufficient wraps
and comforts froze his feet and limbs in
such q manner that a%mputation at the
angle joints became necessary to save
himself and that the plaintiff considers
himself damaged in the sum of $4,000"
