A Tin Mine.

SIN the Black Hills country, Dakota
territory, considerable mining has been
done for a number of years, but within
the past few years several tin mines
have been developed and made very
profitable. The Eta tin mining COM
pany, whose mine is situated in Custer
county, has entered into a contract with
q railway company for the construction
of a branch railroad to the mine, q dis
lance of thirteen and one-half miles, the
Eta company agreeing to furnish for
TRANSPORTATION over the road 100000
tons of tin concentrates, the shipments
to be commenced on the completion Of
the branch road. Steam drills are used
in this mine. and ore is being taken out
in large quantities. Near the Eta mine
are several other mines that are known
TO be valuable, and others that promise
we'll. N. Nevin, a well known farmer
Of this county. who formerly lived near
Woodbridge, but who now resides on
with his brother, William Nevin, in the
ownership Of a promising tin mine near
the Eta location referred to. The
Nevin mine has been well %prospected
and the owners are confident that they
have one of the best mines i'm the Black
Hills. Mr.. Nevin visited the locality
named few months ago and returned
well pleased with the country and his
interests there. He brought with him
samples of tin ore Of several kinds,
which have been shown many people
in this city and county. Since his re
turn he has extracted from some Of the
ore solid chunks of tin, proving to his
satisfaction that his money and time
have been well expended"
The above article taken from the
Stockton, CAL, Daily Independent, Of
May Goth, like most articles having re-
ference to our mines appearing in out
side papers, is somewhat inaccurate
The mine referred to as the property o.
Mr.. Nevin and brother, is located
miles west Of this city, and distant from
the Eta mine about twenty miles, IL
what is known as the Warren's gulcf
tin district, where there are many Other
tin mines, which are equally as promis
ing as the Eta, or any other tin mine a
present known to be in existence. Mr.
Nevin will be remembered by oul
readers, as having spent some time in
this section, with his brother early this
spring, and we have reason to believe
that his visit will result in substantial
benefit to this section and the Black
Hills ut large.

New mining companies are being daily
formed in the Deadwood districts, and
the outlook for a prosperous future for
that section, Is not equalled in any min
ing Country in America. There is little
doubt of Deadwood's being the best
mining camp in the world before the
close ofthe present year. Custer will
follow suit in due time, and eventually
equal, if not exceed her in the value oil
her mineral output. Custer is to-day,
with reference to her surrounding re.
sources, as Deadwood was when she
organized local companies tn develop
the Carbonate Camp, she is just begin
ming to realize her possibilities, her first
local efforts are being put forth, which
will IL continued, as surely result in an
era Of prosperity, in this community, as
that Deadwood is prospecting to day.
The too common method of trying for
years to induce outside capital to come
and develop mines invariably results in
inactivity. Local enterprise is what
made Deadwood what it is to day, and
upon that alone must Custer depend
until such time, as by actual develop
ment We . show to the world the
most unmistakable proofs of the extent
and value Of u mines. Experience
should have taught us by this time, that
a mere hole in the ground is not palpa.
BILE evidence Of mine, and that until
such evidence an be shown, our pros
pect holes can attract but little attention.
Thorough development Of Custer mines,
Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1886-06-05

Judging from external comparisons with
other prosperous mining districts, can
but result in placing us upon a basis of
solid and enduring prosperity. The
first step in this direction was made,
upon the organization Of the Dansby
Mining Company, which should be fol
flowed by score ofsimilar organizations
within the next sixty days. More gen
uine gilt edged enterprise, and less
murmering overthe lack Of prosperity,
which IS, in a great measure, selfimpos.
ed, is what Custer especially needs. No
mining town on earth has greater posi-
bilities, every foot Of her surrounding
territory for miles in every direction is
teeming with mineral ofsome character.
Hundreds Of tin locations, showing
every favorable indication of value upon
the surface may be seen, some Of which
ever encroach upon our City limits,
none of which, not withstanding the
fact of their having been located long
since, have been to any material
extent developed. The astounding fact
of this district, with her innumerable
mineral locations, Of the most promis-
ing character. being to-day, ten years
subsequent to its settlement, without a
shaft one hundred feet in depth. is
without parallel. Is it not time that we
should fully realize the cause Of pro-
tracted inactivity, and the sure and GER
tain method whereby we may emerge
from it into the front rank ofprosperous
mining localities. Keep the ball rolling,
and success, solid and substantial will
be fully assured.
