BETTING on THEIR BABIEs.-A nov
ell wager was made in Middleton the
other day between young lawyer and
a gentleman engaged in business in
New York. Each is the father of a
boy baby, of which he is very proud,
and the conversation happening to turn
upon the youngsters each father was
emphatic upon his assertions that his
offspring was the larger and more
promising than that of his friend. The
outcome of the talk was an agreement
that each should deposit sl00 in the
savings bank. there to remain with prin-
ciple and interest untouched, until both
babies have attained the age Of 81 years.
On attaining his majority each of the
babies is to be weighed, and the one
tipping the scales at the greater weight
is to be entitled to the 5000 dollars and
interest.-Kngsfon Freeman.

It is reasonable to presume that goods
cannot be bought as cheaply of houses
where but little business is done, as
goods so purchased must be bought
in small quantities. On the other
hand it is sound reasoning to as
sumo that the lowest prices prevail
in houses were large business is done,
as such houses can buy their goods in
larger quantities and are enabled to take
every advantage of the market. Such
house must make the lowest prices the
Ieadin" feature of their business. Now
we do the largest business in the line
of Dry and Fancy goods in the city, car
nv more stock than all the rest of dealers
in the same line and make low prices

ranted statements in reference to that
very peculiar mining instits ton. Mr..
Hastings AYERS that this company own,
and are at present operating one Of the
most remarkable gold gravel deposits
in the known world, and while he does
not state directly that Professor Jenney
examined and reported favorably upon
the property, he evidently desires to
convey such AN impression. He asserts
that fine gold is distributed profusely
through all the gravel, and that he can
see no cause why this mining enterprise
will not be conducive of enormous pro.
fits. All of which might have been said

Of so novel a character in his head
quarters. The proprietor of the store
in which the postotiice is located being
in the basement below at the time, and
hearing the rough tread of the horses
upon the floor above, rushed hurriedly
upon the scene, and taking an empty
water bucket, which was the first thing
he happened to get hold of, belabored
the horses with much force and earnest
ness, in the mean time directing dis
course to the fair riders, the nature and
substance of which has not yet reached
the ears of this reporter. Aside from
the displacement of few hat cases, the
shaking up ola queensware rack, the
joting of few show cases, the total
destruction Of wooden bucket, and a
sleight nervous attack on the part Of the
p. m, no serious damage was sustained

Our Great TIN Belt-Its Extent and How
to Reach il.

10 hedCn IL.
This wonderful and unparalleled tin
belt, which has caused such a sensation
throughout the United States and Eu-
rope, extends, so far as it has yet been
determined, from point about eight
miles north of the south line of PEN
nington county, to point l2miles south
of the northern boundary line of Custer
county, distance Of 20 miles north and
south, and from point in the Harnev
range about % miles southwest Of Rapid
City to point about 10 miles southwest
of Custer City, a distance Of % miles.
Thus it will be seen that this great tin
belt, upon which a thousand locations
have already been made, practically
embraces an area of 25 miles in length,
and 20 miles in width, and notwith.
standing the vast number Of locations
which have already been made, new
ones are being daily added to the mum.
Der. Much of the territory embraced
within these limits are wholly unex-
plored, SO far as prospecting for this min
eral is concerned, and it is by no means
improbable that more than half Of the
valuable lodes embraced in this wonder
full belt remain undiscovered. No
mineral field in the world presents
greater inducements for the prospector,
and no country on earth holds out such
flattering inducements for the invest.
ment of capital in mining enterprises as
are here presented.
Custer City is most faqorably located
for the great tin emporium of this future
tin producing region. When future
railroad routes are determined with re.
ference to the requirements Of this i'm.
portant industry, Custer City will, doubt
less, by reason Of her favorable location,
be the great tin centre Of this country.
Situated as she is, easy of access, in the
very heart Of this great tin belt, it is
idle to attempt to ignore this plain pro
position.
This marvellous belt, by reason Of the
completion OF the +. +. & NJ. V. railroad
to Buffalo Gap, may be easily reached
A daily stage is now run from Buffalo
Gap to Custer City, distance of %
miles over one of the best roads in the
Black Hills. From this point the heart
OF any Of the prominent tin districts
may be reached in from half an hour
to two hours, by any ordinary convey.
ance. The route from Buffalo Gap via
Custer City presents many advantages
over the foot hills route, leading through
a mountain country of surprising beauty
which presents upon every hand vari
ETY. of enchanting scenery nowhere eX
celled. This route, being at least forty
miles shorter than the foot hills route
will doubtless be universally taken by
visitors to the tin districts, when its
| many advantages are more generally
known. The accommodations for travel
at Custer City are as good as can be pro.
cured anywhere in the Black Hills
The hotels are we'll kept, and every
comfort Of a home supplied. Convey.
ance at reasonable cost can be procur-
ed at moments notice, and the farthest
district may be reachest in ample time
to return to the city on the same day
One trip over the Custer City route will
be safe guarantee of all future visits
being made over the same.
