Aaron Dunn has been in town for q
week past. He expect to leave for the
Stand by mine as soon as he completes
his examination Of some tin properties
situate in the neighborhood of the Eta
mine. He goes to the Standby TO
straighten up matters with a view to
starting up the mill i'm the early spring.
Mr.. Dunn tells us that when in Boston
inc New York he heard considerable
discussion of the tin business, and that
quite "a number of wealthy men in both
those cities declared their intention TO
visit the Black Hills for the purpose of
seeking investment in tin properties.
These capitalists expected to start as
soon as they learned that the railroad
had reached the Hills, and i'm any event
not later than the lrly spring. Similar
new reaches us from other places in the
east, and we would therefore urge those
of our miners who have tin prospects to
put their claims in the best shape pos.
sible for being examined. Onr long
hoped for opportunity is at hand, let Us
make the best Of it. There can be no
question Of securing purchasers for such
properties As lay all around Custer, if
we only succeed in getting the right par
ties to come here and examine for them
selves.
