Final Payment.

The final payment of $685. 0 on the
Tin Reef group Of mines, situated one
and a half miles north of this city was
made by j. w. Fowler, trustee Of the
Harvey Peak Tin Mining Company,
through the Bank Of Custer on Tuesday.
The parties in interest are NJ. McLaugh-
lin, +. Mclaughlin, b. Runyon. Paul
Kleemann, IL. A. Albien, B. r. Wood,
and j. w. Barnett, all Of whom are resi-
dents Of this place.
This event, which is regarded as
the most important which has yet
%transpired, so far AS its influence upon
Clusters future prosperity is concerned,
is the browning link in the chain Of evil
dence, showing conclusively the un-
wavering confidence which is still en-
tcrtained by this company in the final
success Of the great tin industry in the
Black Hills. The published statements
going the rounds of the eastern press,
which presents so gloomy an outlook in
the tin field, and which pronounce the
enterprising efforts Of the Harvey Peak
Company q failure, must now be regard
ed as being grossly unjust, and entirely
unworthy of notice.
1t is by no means reasonable to sup
pose that after the Eta had been de-
termined a failure, that this company
would have further invested d hundred
thousand dollars in the purchase of
these properties, with the additional
sum Of 500, 200 in p~atenting them, which
they are now doing, and realizing tn e
fact of hundreds Of thousands of dollars
being required in their development.
The success Of the Eta mine, whatever
opinions may have previously prevail
| ed, must now be conceded, since subse-
quent developments have placed it's
failure beyond the pale of human be-
lief. Among the many samples of tin
ore taken from the prominent mines
owned by this company, a~ggregating
nearly 5000 pounds, which were boxed
and shipped to New York from this
city during the past week, those taken
from the Eta mine were conceded to
be the finest, Notwithstanding there
were a number taken from the Tin Reef
which is reputed to be the peer of all
the tin mines yet found in the Hills.
The tin industry in this country which
is now budding, will bloom with the
early flowers of the approaching spring.

How to Tell Gcunterfelts.

The United States Treasury De,
partment has, of late years, adopted
for bonds and currency, a peculiar
paper described below, and which is
deemed stronger protection against
counterfeiters than that used by the
Bank of England, which has recently
been dangerously counterfeited in ESQ,
G100 and $500 notes.
AS the first issue of greenbacks,
which were not printed on fiber paper,
were most dangerously Counterfeited,
but have almost wholly disappeared
from circulation, therefore, receive
them with great caution, or refuse
them if in doubt about their genuineN
nest.
All other genuine greenbacks, gold
and silver certificates and late issues
of national bank uotes are printed on
the government fiber; the first kind
with the fiber distributed in short
pieces, localized with blue tint, de-
tected by picking it with pin; the
other with the fiber in two parallel
threads, red and blue silk, running
lengthwise through The note, seen by
holding the note 10 to the light. The
public are cautioned not to draw these
threads out of the paper.
If in doubt about the genuineness
of any bank note in the report, refuse
it unless printed on government fiber
paper. All national bank notes not
in this report are genuine, whether
printed on the government paper or
not.
The counterfeit SO and $40 silver
certificates are not on government pa
per.
Some of the counterfeit S., SO
800 greenbacks (series Of 1879 and
$50 and $500 (series of 1869 are an
imitation distributed fiber paper.
Dangerous. These are all the cOun-
terfeits on the new green backs worth
noticing.
Better refuse al twenties, ffties
and one hundreds on the banks in thi,
report unless printed on the Govern
; ment paper.
All genuine bank notes having

of the fiber paper combined; while thu

The Milan Exchange says that as
East Tennessee has not furnished a
democratic governor since Andrew
johnson was elected about thirty
years ago she should be permitted TO
name the man this time, provided she
will present man who will come

This provisO may not be altogether
satisfactory to East tennessee

Why not? The mountains are pro,

Mrs. CleveIand's Title.

A pretty story, if one could believe
it, is told by the Paris correspondent
of Vienna paper. \ short time ago
a matinee musicale was given by the
Duchess of Lamotte, and among the
guests was the charming bride>elect
of President Cleveland then in Paris
completing her trousseau. The young
lady was the object Of many marks of
distinction, the high aristocracy suri
rounded her and there was much talk
of her position. One lady, the daugh-
ter-in-law of the Duchess de Persigny,
condoled with Miss Folsom because
she would have no title as the wife Of
a republican president. Gall would
be well, only you have no title" said
she, " "you will only be called Mrs.
Cleveland" "But that name is only
for strangers, was the answer of the
fair American: "the President his
for intimacy conferred upon me a
very particular title Everybody
looked up curiously, and, blushing
deeply, Miss Folsom added, "He
calls me--his darling, Can wife
desire better title?" The hostess
embraced her amiabe guest, remark,
ing, "You are right, and you appear
to me as if you would keep the title
to the end of your life. London

To the Farmers 81 the South
As YOU are aware, we are engaged
in an earnest far,reaching effort to
regulate the manufacture and sale of
limitations of butter. We have sue.
ceeded in passing our bill through the
house of representatives after a most
desperate fight against us by the bo-
gus butter people. The question af-
fects every owner of COW in the
country. The result of our effort
means the salvation or the destruction
of the dairy industry. 1t therefore
concerns every farmer in the land.
Our bill has been reported to the
senate, where we won victory in its
behalf yesterday on the question of
reference to the committee on agri
culture. The measure is important
to the dairy and agricultural interests
of your state, as well as to all con-
sumers of butter, for they are now
grossly swindled. Won't you, there
fore, in the interest of yourselves and
your northern brothers, urge the SEN
ators from your state by letter, to vote
for our bill. Very respectfully,
JOSEPH H. REALL,
President American Agricultural
and Dairy Association.

CALDWELL AND SNODGRiSS.

We are delighted with the candi-
dates for supreme Judge placed before
us by the democratic convention.
They are all good men and true, and
will do their work ably, honestly and
faithfully.
Unusual wisdom was displayed in
the selection, and it would be in vidi-
Gus to single out any of them for COM
ment, were it not for the fact that
one Of them is our own Caldwell, and
for the further fact that a little adj
verse comment has been made in
few places in the state, touching the
nomination of Judge SnOdgrass.
1t gives US great pleasure to state
to our readers somewhat more in de-
tail than we did last week something
of Judge CaldwelPs phenomenal pop
ularity. 1t seemed as if the whole
state had gone to Nashville to nomi-
nate him. There was scarcely a cOun'
ty that did not give hime some votes,
and he was easily nominated on the
first ballot. 1t would have been i'm
possible to beat him. Middle and
West Tennessee we're practically solic
for him, and the greater part of East
Tennessee supported him. His great
worth as a man, a lawyer, and judge
was recognized by all, and MS reputa
ton had penetrated the entire state.
A little soreness was created II
some portions of East Tennessee. be
cause of the nomination of Judge
Snodgrass, but we believe this vii

be harmonious. The dissatisfaction
, arose wholly out Of matter OF loca
