Not symptoms. but the Disease

1t would seem to be truth appreci-
able by all, and especially by profes,
sors of the healing art, that to remove
disease, not to alleviate its symptoms,
should be the chief aim of medication.
Yet in how many instances do we see
this truth, admitted in theory, ignored
in practice. The reason that Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is successful in so
many cases, with which remedies pre-
viously tried were inadequate to cope,
is attributed to the fact that it is med.
icine which reaches and removes the
causes Of the various maladies to which
it is adapted. Indigestion, fever and
ague, liver complaint. govt, rheumatism
disorder of the bowels, urinary afiec-
tons and other maladies are not palli.
ated merely, but rooted out by it. 1t
goes to the fountain head. 1t is really
not nominally, radical remedy, and
it endows the system with an amount
OF vigor which is its best protection
against disease.

Sudden Death.

Charles E. Griiis, formerly of Kens-
ington, Illinois, who had been engaged
for five or six years working on the
ranges for different Cattle companies,
and who has l~atterly been employed at
the A U Z ranch about 50 miles south
west of this city, died very suddenly at
the ranch on Saturday, May LIST.
The deceased had been complaining
Of rheumatism and pains in the back
for some time previous to his death, but
was not incapacitated for the per-
Torrance of his duties on the ranch, and
on Saturday the men being called to
dinner, left him in a sitting room en-
gagged in reading a newspaper. returning
to the room in twenty minutes they
found him lying dead upon the floor.
1t is supposed that his death resulted
from disc ase ofthe heart. A messenger
was Immediately dispatched to this city
for the purpose of procuring a coffin,
and on the following day his body was
brought to this place for interment.
The deceased was about AZ years of age,
was highly respected by his associates,
and was by them given a very respecta'
BILE burial, which was attended by a
number of the residents of this place.

The TIN Reef.

Another important discovery of tin
was, on Friday of last week, added to
the extensive list previously made in
this, the most wonderful tin region in
the known world. This late discovery
was made by Mr.. Mclaughlin and son
Of this place, and is located about three
miles northwest Of this city. The lode
crops out about fifty feet above the sur
face, and presents every indication of
being II OF the most extensive deposits
of tin ore yet discovered in the country.
The ore is of high grade, and thousands
of tons lying above ground, can be
mined at a nominal cost. Fifteen loca-
tons have been made upon the lode in
the direction Of this place, the nearest
of which are only a tritie over n mile
from the city limits. A great deal of
excitement has been produced here by
reason of this discovery having been
made in such close proximity to The
city, and in a locality that was supposed
to have been thoroughly prospectcd for
this mineral in the past. 1t is now evil
dent that tin is the predominant min
eral of this section. and it is simply a
question of time when the world will
become thoroughly familiar with the
fact. The name given to the discovery
claim which heads this article, is signi-
ficant of the character of the location, il
being a massive reef of tin bearing ore,
which cannot fail to attract much atten-
ton in the early future, when the coun.
try will be visited by capitalists from
every section of the globe seeking in.
vestment in this unparalleled tin belt.

T. Sale.

In our issue Of April oath we pub
lished an account of the First Find" a
tin location made by Messrs. Barnhart
and Lincoln, of this city. We have now
the pleasure ofannouncing to our readers
the sale of the property on the 2Sth ult.
to Samuel Scott of Rapid City for the
snug sum of $4,000 cash. The property
consists of the original location, two side
locations, and two extensions including
a water right. The property is no doubt
worth many times the amount sold for,
but the amount received will be amply
sufficient, if invested in stock, as we
learn it is their intention to do, to make
them independent in a few years. This
sale has given an impetus to prospecting
for tin III this section, and not without
reason, as the short period which was
devoted to prospecting by these parties,
having found the lode on the second
day, and the short time elapsing be-
tween the find and the sale being only
five days, the entire time engaged being
barely a single week, We cannot esteem
it strange that such an event should
largely stimulate the desire upon the
the part of others to 90 and do likewise.
This property was sold upon its external
merits, there having been no develop
ment work done upon the property be-
yond a single blast, which had the effect
of showing a sufficient quantity of high
grade ore to satisfy all parties concerned.
We congratulate the boys on their good
fortune, and earnestly hope that the
amount received on their sale may form
the nucleus of a fortune for them both.
A country offering such sterling possibi
lities may justly be considered a good
one to tie to.

after reaching the top of the ladder his
pistol fell from his pocket, and striking
upon one of the rounds of the ladder,
was discharged, the ball entering his

near the right shoulder. He walked
down the ladder, and as far as the office

failing him at this point, he fell upon

We invite the especial attention OF
our citizens to a communication in this
issue of the Giro NIcLE from Mark A.
L~uckenbach, M. f. of Denver, in which
some very valuable suggestions are
offered, which if regarded would doubt
less result in paramount benefit to this
city. Prof. Luckenbach will be remem-
bered as the gentleman who evinced
such a lively interest in our tin re-
sources while here some time ago, and
who reduced and run into bars a large
amount of tin ore. which he took
with him to Denver, and which has, no
doubt, made q good impression in that
locality. In a private letter the Pro-
fessor has outlined the Inauguration of
enterprises of vital Importance to this
city, the consumation Of which we
await with the most absorbing interest.

Important Transfer of Mining Property.


The purchase Of q two-third interest
in the Spruce Bend group of gold mines,
situate 3 miles west Of this city was
negotiated yesterday through the Bank
of Custer. The property was sold by
Myron McSherer to j. r. De Lamar, of
Denver. It will be remembered by our
readers that Mr.. De Lamar formerly
purchased a third interest in this prop
erty of Mr.. McSherer, and took a large
amount of the ore to Denver. Mr.. ID.
has been submitting the ore to different
methods Of treatment in its reduction,
and having determined its value, when
properly handled, concluded to pur-
chase the remaining t%wo-thirds, which
purchase was consummated as stated
above. Mr.. De Lamar is to be congra-
tulated upon his acquisition of this very
desirable property, which is regarded
as being the best prospect in the South
ern Hills. We are informed that work
will be commenced at once upon the
property, and that Mr.. d. will, some
time during the summer introduce his
patent concentrators ia this district, the
first one of which will be employed in
the reduction Of the high grade ores
} from his late purchase. Mr.. De Lamar's
patent concentration will, no doubt, be,
come a popular institution in this sec
ton, as our ores being all more or less
refractory, the concentration will be
found well adapted to their treatment
Mr.. ID. is at present in Denver, but il
expected here in a few weeks.
