This list only includes the few that
are prominently quoted in the eastern
stock markets, where they neither know
nor care how much ore is being shipped
from the mines here TO the Omaha and
Chicago shelters; or what close corpor-
atoms and unlisted mines, like the Orc
Elmo mine and many at the Galena,
Carbonate or Ruby Basin camps, are
doing in the way of adding to the
worlds wealth. 1t is Il constant source
of surprise to the visitor to learn that
he has heard Of but a few Of the Hills
mines, aud that if he wants to know it
all, he will have to travel over a larger
and more prosperous region than he
imagined could exist "way down in the
southw corner of Dakota.-Rapid

The par value Of the Iron Hill stock
is enormously given in the above ar
ticle at $50 per share. 1t should have
been $40; and according to a statement
i'm the Deadwood Times the amount
stated rs the total assessment on the
mine is largely in excess Of the true
amount.

j. T. Reynolds brought in from his
ranch, yesterday, eight miles west OF
Rockford, the largest bear ever killed
i'm the Black Hills. 1t is fully as large
as an ordinary COW, and weighs about
1000. Mr.. Reynolds, who is an old bear
hunter, says it is the largest he ever
saw, and that its species is unknown to
him, though it resembles the silver-tip
more than any other. He says, to his
certain knowledge, it has been in his
neighborhood for three years, during
which time he has seen it frequently,
but never got a shot at it before. though
constantly on the alert. 1t has created
sad havoc all this time among stock,
and had killed a COW and was taking a
square meal when the death messenger
came from a 45-75 Winchester, Wednes-
