Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1885-06-13

Doc Faust is working the placer mines
on Tenderfoot and il taking out good
pay.
The work of development still con-
tinues at Warren's gulch and thows that
camp to be all that we have predicted.
Mr.. Farley Of the New York Mica
mine has a force OF men at work sinking
a shaft on that property, which has now
reached a depth of 100 feet.
Messrs. Sanders and Lewis are agitat
ing over an offer to purchase the Last
Find tin mine, made them by Mr.
Stephens, the English tin expert.
Messrs. Dickens, Barnhardt, and Lin
coin are placer mining in the vicinity OF
Dansby, for recreation and the root oil
all evil" and are doing fairly this week,
Several offers have been made Messrs.
Peltz and Scott for an interest in their
tin mine, one mile below Custer, but no
one has proved an inducement for them
to part with a part or parcel.
Times: The Sitting Bull will send
over nine 200 ounce bars this morn
ing. to be followed in a day or so by two
more, the result of operations for the
month of May. Work progresses salts
factorily at mine and mill, and every

Times: The Homestake cleanup
came down last evening and goes east
this morning. 1t consist Of the usual
number of bricks (6), but Of greater
weight and value, the five approaching
$4,000. This steady increase of out
put coupled with a steady decrease of
operating expenses, speaks volumes for
the managerial ability of Acting Super
i%ntendent Grier, who, we predict, will
be appointed superintendent at the APP
preaching annual meeting of the COM
pany. He has earned such promotion
and W. belive the company appreciates
the fact.
Republican: From the following il
will be seen that the Eta company will
erect a mill at an early day on its prop
erty at Harvey. The members Of the
company have always been very re-
ticent about their business, but enough
is known to warrant us in the assertion
that they expect to do their share this
season in developing the tin industries
Of the Harvey range. The Engineering
and Mining Journal Of the 23rd ult.
says:
This company, Of which Mr.. +. n
Riotte, mining engineer, of New York,
is the consulting engineer, is preparing
TO erect a 200-ton concentrating Iaill to
which will be added smelling works for
the reduction of the black tin. The
plans are now finishing by Mr.. Riot,e.
The mill will consist of crusher-rolls,
screens, and concentrators-probablv
