Custer and Ch0dron.

We CLEAN from our exchanges that an
tabli,hment will be shortly put up at
Chadron Wealthy and responsible par
ties are said TO be interested in it. This,
if true, will be an excellent thing for
Chadron, and we are glad to hear il.
Nothing adds SO much to the prosperity
and permanence Of town as manufac-
tories, especially where they have no
mines to employ their idle labor. Now,
with us in the Hills country, it is diff
fcrent. We have such diversity of in
terests that no man need be out of em
ployment.
At present We should judge there is
about an even number engaged in min
ing and farming in and around the Hills
This gives variety that is both pleas
ant and profitable. Many farm in the
summer and mine in the winter, and as
the old saying goes, "A change Of pas.
ture makes fat calves" There is this
advantage IN it, too. Our miners are
not producers and the mines furnish a
ready market for all the farm products
Of the valleys.
The advantages for mining, farming
and stock raising are excellent in anC
around the Black Hills, and these in
terest do not clash, but help each other
and those engaged in each fraternist
ank are growing rich together.

Concentrating Ores.

1t has long been the opinion Of the
writer that free milling gold mills are
not exactly what is needed in this dis
trict, but that it offers the best field for
good concentraters that We have ever
seen. Though we have many mines,
the ores from which yield large returns
in pure, bright, solid particles of gold,
yet the yield by the free milling process
falls so far short of that obtained by fire
assay that it has always been source
of surprise to great many miners.
From many of the mines, ores that yield
by fire assay hundreds of dollars to the
ton when pulverized and panned in the
usual way, show no gold, yet when this
same rock is subjected to slow burn
ing by being thrown into camp fire
and allowed 10 remain over night, and

then pounded and burned, an excellen
prospect is obtained in gold, bright anC
pure. We have noticed in panning al
| this character Of quartz that there is al
ways a residue or concentrate at the
bottom Of the pan, Of a steel gray, some
times Of lighter leaden hue. Oul
prospectors generally call it white iron
and throw it out without paying any
further attention to it, Now, we are no,

yer with the gold.
In many of the older settled camps OF
Colorado where they have wrestled long
and hard to solve the problem of saying
the gold from their refractory ores, only
to find at last il was the simplest thing
in the world, they have only to concen-
trate-get the values of ten or twenty
tons into one, and ship the concentrates
to smelter
There was time when their was only
one or two establishments in America
where telluride could be treated and the
gold saved successfully. 1t was secret
process. Professor Hill, who started the
Argo smelling works, made a speciality
of the business and made fortune out

Swansea, Wales, and bribed one of the
operators who understood the secret
process, brought him to this country and
employed him for many years at fabu-
lous salery, working the telluride ores of
Sunshine district, in Boulder county.
Colorado; but now the Grant and Omaha
smelling works save the values Of these
ores without any difficulty. They will
buy the concentrates at the assay value
and pay the cash on receipt Of ship
ment. They simply mix them with
their low grade silver ores, using plenty
of lead, and the rich telluride brings up
the grade of their bullion.

admission Of Dakota has been agitated
with US since 1870, when we had 1900
inhabitants. Since then there have been
several constitutional conventions which
have met, resolved and sent delegates to

hundreds Of thousands of dollars in vain.
There are thrae things to pre:ent d.
vision and admission. The south will
never permit the admission of the two
northern states if it can help it. The
eastern high tariff republicans will never
permit two low tariff states to enter if
they can help it. The democratic party
will never consent to the admission of
two republican states if it can help it.
Dakota will be admitted only when it
consents to come in as one state.

BUCKING BUsHYHEAD.
The Cherokee Chief Has Opposition
Lands in seVerAltY.

TAHLEoUAH, Aug. 13.-The recent cleo
tion in the Cherokee Nation shows that
the Cherokees are be no means satisfied
with the present administration OF local
government, and the result foreshadows a
sweeping and early change III every de-
partment OF local affairs. Out Of the
seventy.four Representatives and Sena.
tors chosen for the Legislature (or COun-
ell and Senate) a majority will oppose
Chief Bushyhead and his party, and Will
take steps at the coming session of the
Councils in November to investigate the
acts OF the Chief and his advisers in
several matters Pertaining to public in
terests. One of these is the payment by
the United States government of $500, 900
for certain lands alleged 10 have been sold
by the CherOkees, and from which amount
the sum Of $40 600 was paid Col. w. A.
Phillips Of Washington for certain ser
wees. 1t il TO find out the nature Of these
services that an investigation will be had.
Another matter is the leasing OF the
Cherokee lands 10 the cattle syDdicates.
A majority OF the Cherokee people are OPP
posed 10 these leases, and have been since
they were first made. Notwithstanding the
published announcement made by Chief
Busbyhead that the Indians were we'll
satisfied with the arrangements made
with the cattlemen. So intense is the
feeling in this respect that had an cleo
ton Of Chief occurred Aug. 6, Chief
Busbyhead might have been defeated for
reelection on the issue Of cattle leases
alone. He will be opposed in both
Houses Of the Legislature by some Of
the ablest men in the Cherokee Nation.
A great question before the Councils
will he that Of allotment of land in
seYeralty among the Indiana and the sale
Of the residue TO the United States gov
eminent. The plan is to give to each in
diYldual Cherokee certain amount OF
land, say 100 acres, for which a patent
from the United States or Cherokee
Nation shall issue. This land cannot be
sold or transferred but to be vested i'm the
Indian owner forever. The land remain
ing after the distribution is made is TO be
sold and the money obtained from it's sale
to be invested for the benefit of the Cher
Okees. One year ago the idea was re-
pugnant to the Indians, but since then it
mas grown in public favor, the CheTOkees
viewing with alarm the action of Con-
gress at its recent session, and feeling
that such plan may result in saving
their lands for themselves and posterity.
Still, it is not quite probable that public
sentiment is ready for such step, though
the feeling is growing and will eventually
result in division and sale OF the lands
and the opening up to settlement Of Cher
okee Nation. Aside from this there is a
feeling that it might be well for Cherokees
to be admitted as delegates to Congress,
though this idea is combated as being too
strong in advance Of the times. 1t is pro-
bable the question may come before the
Legislature. In any event the coming
session will be the most important in
Cherokee history.
