Whether, however, the Conservatives will have q majority sui1iclclent lo form Government without the aid of the lnIonist5 Is another matter. they cannot, then d deadlock will cnaue.

The True Grit Silver Mining
held a meeting last evening, and, among
other things, decided to place another
$4,000 shares on the market. The first
$4,000 shares has nearly all been dis
posed of at five cents, but the next will
be held at ten. The limit of the treas.
nry stock is $4,000 shares, and from the
splendid success in placing it SO far.
without solicitation, has been very graft
flying to the company and the citizens
OF Buffalo Gap. The rock is already
creating a widespread reputation, and
several houses rs far east rs New York
have written to the company for samples
of the stone and full particulars of the
truly wonderful and valuable find. Sta
tistics prove this to be a greater in
dustry than the majority of people are
aware of, and we are strongly of the
opinion that the property of the True
Grit company will be as great a source

months as the Iron Hill is to Dead.

L. P. McClarren, Mac Of the Sioux
City Journal, arrived in this city, via
Buffalo Gap and Hot Springs on Thurs.
day. Mr.. McClarren has previously
visited the Hills, and said many good
things concerning peadwood and Rapid,
but having hitherto failed to make this
city a point on his line, We have not
been favored with a mention, we trust,
however, nov that he has visited the
place, that he may favorably notice us
in the sterling journal which he SO ably
represents. The Sioux City Journal, for
reasons other than that of being one OF
the best papers published in the west
and the fullest dispenser of Dakota
news, should be well patronized by the
people Of the Black Hills. The bare
fact of its being the leading journal of q
town which done o than all other
towns combined to encourage the ex
ploration and settlement of the Hills
should itself warrant the support of the
people of this part of the territory.
The Journal, in addition to the regula,
associated press dispatches, contains
specials from all parts Of Dakota, EN-
bracing all the news of interest transpir.
ing in the territory more fully than any
other paper west Of Chicago, with the
additional advantage Of reaching us one
day earlier than the Chicago papers.
VS. regard the Journal as one Of our
most valuable exchanges.

L. IL. White, the Deadwood CORE
spondent Of the New York Financial
and Mining Record, speaks somewhat
d~isparagingly of the tin interests of the
Black Hills. In that journals issue of
the 18th he speaks Of the Eta mine as a
pronounced failure, and of the tin r'reS
in general. as no mines at all, merely
prospects, or holes in the ground, and
intimates that past investments in Black
Hills tin were i'll advised, and made
without due consideration Of the dis
advantages attendant upon tin mining
in this country. He dismisses the sub
ject with the gratifying admission that
some Of u prospects may pay some
time, when labor and material become
cheaper. 1t is true that in but few
instances have our tin prospects been
developed to an extent which would
warrant their being called by any other
name than a hole in the ground, but so
far as they have been developed, which
in some cases have been to a depth of
nearly n hundred feet, they have in
variably improved as depth was OBJ
tanned, not a single instance Of a vein
proving other than continuous by ex-
ploitation has come TO our knowledge
in this entire section. Mr.. White dwells
upon the disadvantage CT high-priced
labor in this country as compared with
cheap labor / n Cornwall, but does not
call public attention to the fact Of the
very decided advantage this country
has in her vast bodies Of high grade ore
on the surface over the mines Of Corn
wall, whose ore bodies lie ut q depth of
a half a mile and more in the earth.
When this advantage is fully considered,
it will be admitted that it more than
counterbalances the disadvantage re-
sulting from high-prieed labor. Mr..
White, so far as we can learn, has not
visited this section Of the tin belt, and
must depend exclusively upon second
hand information, which must be ad-
mitted to be sometimes unreliable, and
in view Of writing more intelligently
upon this very important subject, we
| would suggest that he visit this district,
and personally examine the different
tin locations, when, we feel assured, he
| will imbibe a more favorable view of
| the situation, and in tie future aid,
rather chan retard the progress of what
will eventually become the chief in
| dustry of the Black Hills.

The Rapid Journal is putting forth a
commendable effort to redeem Rapid
from the extreme depths of infamy to
which she has fallen. Opium join, 4,
brothels. and organized bands of horse
thieves, are referred to as crying evils
which are prominently conspicuous in
that naughty village. We sincerely
hope that the Journal may meet with
success in her evangelical efforts. Rapid
has already realized that the terminus
of a railroad is also a terminal point for
tramps and toughs. Don't worry, Dick,
they will depart with the railroad.
Reformation will come when the rail
road goes. Rapid should be patient, it
may not be long before her transient
trash shall be transferred to Sturgis,
when she will become as TRANQUILITY
quiet as the picturesque camp ofPactola.
or the Big Bend bonanza on the banks

it recommends that the worthless ours
