COMO, October;7th, 1888.
Ed. TIMEs:-Yoh, TOO, were wrong
in regard to the first mill in Como. Ii
was neither in Silver City nor Dayton.
except to pass through the latter place
on its way to Como from California.
The mill was "bran span new" when it
came to Como, and was not "cluttered
up" much with bullion when il left for
Kearsarge. The Chronicle was all
wrong. All. Doten, of the Enterprise.
was right as regards the mill, bur
wrong in some minor mining details.
He says the first rock worked in Como
mill was from the Palmyra Consolidated
so called. There is no such mine on
The records The old Palmyra was
right On the Como Divide, and lay be-
tween the Rey Del Monte and Buckeye,
and from that mine as All says, The
rock was Obtained TO start The new mill
Friend Dotcn also says that the North
Rapidan, the only mine now working i
in Palmyra mile or Two this-wesl-
OF Como, when in fact it is mile or
two east Of PalmyIa, in other words,
right in Como. The hosting works on
the south end Of the mine is on the east
side. 1t is very evident that the report
er Of the Enterprise got his liens from
Palmyra man, and would emily
hibl 10 said informan, that Palmyra and
Como are both III the same Di>lric:, and
pub lIshing 10 the world that Como i,
deserted will not help start a boom in
Palmyra. The Chronicle stated that

Judge NJ. J. McCann, of the Sully
Probate Court, returned from Pierre
last Saturday, whence he had been
through the session of the District
Court.
Last Sunday was the anniversary
of .G. Washlngton's birthday How
great is the father of his country.
The event slipped past without a
though and consequently was not com
memorated.
The weather for whole week past
has been lovely beyond even a spring
poets ideal. For three days water
from melted snow has been gently bab-
bling down the streets, and bare spots
on the prairie begin to loom up.
The school house on section IL,
1873, will be publicly dedicated on
Wednesday evening, next, March 4th,
by appropriate exercises and closing
with supper to be prepared by the
ladies of the vicinity. \ cordial invi-
tatlOn Is extended TO all.
The Courtney brothers Robert
and William-of 114-T9, are expected
back from Ohio, where they have been
spending the winter, in a few days,
with carload of stock and sundries.
The most interesting part of the sun
dries may come in passenger car
but we can't tell SO soon. Success to
the boys, anyhow.
Some of our exchanges seem to be
under the impression that the bill re-
pealing the pre-emptlon and tree claim
acts has become law, but such is not
the case The late House bill passed
by the Senate was amended in many
particulars and was sent back to the
House for its concurrence, where it was
tabled and will have to take its course
with many other bills ahead, While il
can be called up ut any time if there
are no objectors, it may not be rea ched
during the rush and hustle of the clos.
ing hours of the session.

LATEST DIVISION SCHEME |!
Western sully Ncnenity and to
be Attached to the Sioux on
the Reservation
A Nameless County and Uncrganized.

Blunt's latest freak on county divi-
sion is to split Hughes and Sully coun-
ties north and south on ranges II and
rs from the Missouri to the Potter line,
taking Off l6 towns from Sully
and over two thirds of eastern Hughes
and appropriating the name of Sully
county for the whole, with the county
seat ut Blunt. \ bill has been framed
to this effect and parties sent to Bis
marck to try and lobby it through
The new and unorganized county is
to comprise the present western part
of Sully, and is then to slide across the
Missouri on the line between l16 and
and III thence mp the west bank of
the river about 8 miles to point near
ly opposite Forest City, taking In a
part of Pyatt county, thence west on
the 45th parallel about 81 miles into
the Sioux Reservation to the l0lst de-
gree Of longitude, thence south on said
,l01st degree 32 miles, thence east on
the third parallel, again jumping the
Missouri at one leap, and on east to the
range between II and rs in the
present Sully county, thence north on
said ranges to the point of beginning
making the dandy ccunty-the
most populous in the territory the big
gest portion in the Reservation with
several thousand Sioux in the county
The bill don't state, but we suppose we
we will all then be Indians and draw
rations from the Government. Hurrah
for division and the new county. No
more rustling for grub by us natives
Glorious idea Generous Blunt !!
Come to our arms, noble Red brothers
We always did love you.
Seriously, if the Legislature can or
will pass such an outrageous act we are
greatly mistaken in their makeup.
This same bill taks on portion of
the Reservation to the little piece of
Hughes county that will be left after
this carving
The present exemption law is at
tracing considerable attention at the
hands of our Legislators. Several at
tempts have been made to cut it down,
first to $500 then $3.50, 1000, &c,
but there seems to be a disposition 10
let it remain just rs it is-at 81 500.
Like everything else, there are two
sides to this subject. There is no doubt
but what the sweeping exemption pre-
vents some of our retail merchants
from getting the credit from wholesale
dealers in the east that they might
were it placed at nominal figure, and,
through the retail business men, the
same objection to giving credit to the
people However, where parties are
well known and worthy of credit, the
exemption will have but little weight
On the other hand, the exemption will
prevent many from rushing into debt
and encumbering themselves with har-
rassing obligations. While it may be
tough on them at the present time they
will find themselves able to pay rs they
go and be independent, whereas, if they
could get credit readily, as the old say
ing goes their nose would be forever on
the grindstone.
