The best evidence and argument in
favor Of q daily mail service to Custer
from the south was the arrival of our
first mail over the Chadron route on
last Wednesday evening. The Hot
Springs coach which reached here about
4 O'Clock in the afternoon brought us st.
Paul papers Of the 10th, last Sunday,
while the Rapid service, which came in
8 hours later brought papers and letter
mail Of the 14th, making a difference of
two daysto correspondents here in favor
Of the southern route. While we do
not and never did believe in discontinue
ing the Rapid service or any other, the
business interests Of the community
demands a southern daily mail service,
otherwise our mail has to travel nearly
100 miles out Of its road to reach us.
The interests Of the Black Hills towns
are closely allied and especially is this
SO of Deadwood, Custer and Rapid and
they should all be connected with this
place by daily stages.
Give us an increase ON all. There is
now three different communities be-
tween this place and S 4 G ranch hav-
ing a sufficient population to demand
and secure mail service and we hope
the matter will be taken up and pushed
to a successful issue.

EDITOR CHRONICLE Dear Sir In re-
ply to your inquiry in regard TO the OBJ
ject of the new stock association, !
would say that it is proposed to effect a
permanent organization of men directly
or indirectly interested in the rapidly
growing stock interests Of this country,
for mutual protection and benefit, its
policy will be protective rather than ag-
gressive, and an effort will be made to
work in harmony and cooperate with
all similar associations, but to be in q
position to protect the individual rights
of its members when circumstances re-
quires. Each member will be under
obligations to all other members to re-
port strayed stock, and render such as
sistance as shall be deemed to the inter
est Of all connected with the association,
for (which purpose a list Of all individual
brands will be published and distribut-
Ell 1t is also proposed TO represent in
the general round ups, which is now out
Of the question for a small owner to at
tempt alone.
That there is a need for such an or
ganization, which can be conducted
without ~antagonizing the interests or
rights Of the powerful companies on the
outside Of the Hills, and result in much
benefit to all stock men in the Hills no
one will dispute. Enough interest has
already been manifested to warrant q
permanent and strong organization.
Respectfully yours,
A. Il. VAN DEvoRr.

and that they had already passed
through the San Andres Mountains.

the people in your section that there
is not ono word Of truth Of any dis.
satisfaction among the Mescaleros or
Jicarillas. They are cooperating
heartily with the military, and rend,
ing valuable services. As they arc
carrying dispatches and watching all
the passes in tho San Andres. In
addition to the scouts now in the
San Andres, | have organized four
companies Of 80 buck each picked men
who arc ready to move in n moments
