Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1886-11-13

F. Washabaugh Of Deadwood has
been appointed by Judge Thomas for
the position of clerk Of the district court
or Lawrence county. The appointment
is by many regarded as being phenom-
email, and doubtless to the expectants,
will be pronounced absolutely treason
able.
Later advices to the effect OF Washa-
baugh's appointment being only tenn
porary have been received, and that it
is the fixed intention Of Judge Thomas
to import a man from Kentucky to per-
manently fill the position, which will
probably be as distas!eful to the appli-
cants as the appointment recently made.
The Judge has not yet named sue
cessor for the present incumbant in
Pennington county.

Tin Reef.

The late visit of Dir. Wilson Of New
York, one of the principal members of
the Harney Peak Tin Company, accom-
panied by Capt. Gilbert, the English tin
expert, has not been barren of impor
tant results. The company have now
perfected arrangements for the construc-
tion Of a number of buildings, such as
will be required in the extensive opera
tions now evidently contemplated.
Prominent among the buildings to be
erected, and for which the grading has
already been completed, is a large and
commodious boarding house with sleep.
ing apartments, which by reason Of its
size and elaborate appointments, might
fairly be entitled TO the name Of hotel.
In addition to the sinking upon the
mine, a tunnel is also being run, and it
is now more than probable that large
ly increased force will be employed in a
few days. The outlook for mine of
extraordinary merit at this juncture is
exceedingly promising.

Conjecture.

Specializing upon the plans and pur-
poses of the Harney Peak Tin Company
AS indicated BY the arrival of Mr.
Wilson and the English expert Gilbert,
the Rapid Journal submits the follow
ing:
Numerous guesses are being made by
interested parties rs to the portent of
the visit Of James F.. Wilson, in COM
pany with an English expert to the
Harney tin mines at the present time
This speculation has taken u very wide
range, and as il is based only on indivd.
ual ideas Of the situation, il can not Of
course be considered very reliable as
information. The theories that most
nearly dovetail are to the effect that
Wilson's company is contemplating the
early opening Of the mines, and that
this visit to the property is to decide once
and for all the proper method 10y which
to gain the most economical and salts
factory results. 1t is the opinion of
mining experts, and Is borne out in
practical experience that man may be
an authority in one mining field and be
at total loss in another. For this
reason old-timers here do not look with
any great degree of favor on the English
expert, and it is not at all probable that
they will accept his theories as gospel
truth. However, let this be as it will,
tho Harvey Peak company evidently
knows it's own business and is undoubt-
edly endeavoring to do all that can be
done to develop its tin property and
make it valuable. If in doing this it
chooses to engage an English tin expert,
and be guided 10y his opinions, no one in
the Black Hills should lose any sleep
If the Englshman is posted on tin, he
cannot fail to reco5nize the extent and
value OF the deposits in the Hills and
while his opinions as to the proper
method ofworking the mines and reduc.
ing the ore may not coincide with those
held by local authoities, they may not
result unprofitably to the industry.
The miners and all interested in the tin
business should hope that the company
may be brought to the conclusion that
the early development their property
is necessary"

A Radical Change.

The official terms Of all the members
Of the present board Of county commits
sioner, the register Of deeds, sheriff,
treasurer, county attorney, probate
judge, superintendent of public schools,
assessor, surveyor and coroner expire
with the year, not one Of whom have
been chosen by the people for continu-
ance in office. The situation is some
what peculiar, as at no time in the past
ba, a general election produced such a
result AT no period in the history of
Custer county has so radical change
been experienced. 1t is to be deyoutly
wished that the officers elect may prove
10 be as competent and efficient in the
discharge Of their official duties, as the
present incumbants have proven them
selves 10 be. and while We may readily
confess to having no misgivings in this
direction, the true solution can only be
determined by the test Of trial which
the people OF the county will await with
the most absorbing interest
The new board Of county commission
ers will consist OF ). VI. Booth Of Custer,
j. +. Street Of Battle River, and Joseph
lIumphries of Four Mile, neither of
whom have previously held an official
position in the county and for whom
We bespeak IN official record in the
future which will reflect credit upon
themselves, and give ample satisfaction
TO the people generally.

Judge Thomas Charge.

We reproduce from a Rapid contem-
porary a part of Judge Thomas charge
to the grand jury of Pennington county
at Rapid on the 9th inst:
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury for Pennington
County
! greet you in the name Of the people
OF Dakota territory, whose public ser
wants you are. As Colonel Jack Dade, of
Georgia, once said in addressing the in
mates OF pcnitentiary of which he had
just taken charge, II use the word
gentlemen very advisedly, because
take it that were you not gentlemen
you would not be here" l do not wish
to be understood as comparing this jury
to the inmates Of a peDtentiary, but l
want you to understand that when adj
dress you az gentlemen / take it that
you are gentlemen in the broadest and
best sense of that term. That is, that
YOU have been selected from the body
Of the people for the purpose Of inquir-
ING into the infractons Of the laws OF
this territory committed within this
county, and that you have sufficient
manhood and stern stuff to do your
duty regardless Of the consequences.
That is, that you will not fail to present
or indict any man because of his posi-.
ton, or because Of your like or dislike
for him. In other words that you will
do your whole duty.
| take it that you came here from
the states to settle in this country az
citizens, not for your health, but to up
hold and protect the laws and society,
and to develop the country. Believing
this, the court has selected you to dis
charge this important duty, which l
hope and believe you will do firmly ard
thoroughly.
The questions which will be presented
to you are those which are usually pre-
sented to grand juries. There is mur-
der, manslaughter and homicide Of the
different kinds, arson, rape and crimes
Of that class, which perhaps any grand
| jury would notice and indict for but
there are smaller offenses--that is seem
ingly so-such as keepers Of bawdy
houses and the inmates thereof, the
illicit sale Of liquor, the sale to minors
gambling and the keeping Of gambling
houses. | take it that the ordinary
grand jury, if they are like those in my
country, generally consider such things
trivial; but they are corrupting and
demoralizng to society and ought to be
investigated, and if evidence is present
ed to you which would warrant an in.
dictment you should find one; and if
the evidence exists it is your duty to get
it. You shall have the aid and co. opera
| ton of the court in obtaining it.

Progress Of Custer County.

Custer county's progress dnrir, he
past year. as indicated by the returns Of
the late election, which may be consid-
cred fair basis upon which TO estimate
its magnitude, must be regarded as
being surprisingly great. One year ago
the total vote polled in the county was
3l5, which, when compared with the
vote cast on the 2d inst, 1856, shows an
that Of one year ago.
1t is gratifying to note, that notwith-
standing what has been said to the CON
trary, the increase in population has by
no means been confined to points along
the line Of the railroad, and the country
contiguous thereto, as Custer precinct,
which is somewhat remote from the
railroad, has been increased in popula-
tion more than fifty per cent, which is
even better showing than can be
claimed for some of the points which
are located on the line Of the railroad.
The section Of country lying south and
west Of Custer also shows healthy in
crease, with every indication Of contin-
ued progress, and unless there be some
thing extremely deceptive in present
indications the day is not distant when
Custer county will become the banner
county Of the Black Hills, not only in
population. but in the magnitude of her
resources, and in everything having
tendency to elevate a county in the
scale Of commercial importance.

A Wise Decision.

The management at Rapid have fin
ally concluded that the low grade tin
ores will not bear shipment to that
point for concentration, but have fully
decided that no other place is SO elligi-
bly, located for tin smelling purposes,
The consistency of smelling our tin at
Rapid is very clearly shown by the Re-
publican in her published statement OF
the fact of l'eadville ores being shipped
to Denver, which settles conclusively
the fact Of the impracticability Of smelt.
ing successfully at or near the mines
Taking this view ofthc matter. We would
Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1886-11-13

suggest the mouth Of Rapid creek as
being point more fitting. We are by
no means surprised at the management
ahine this view Of the question, a. it
would appear to any one familiar with
the situation, that distance is the only
advantage that could be reasonably
claimed for Rapid in such a connection.
Custer City and Hermosa, under this
ruling, are eiFectua.ly barred, both be-
ing unfortunately located too near the
mines.

Rapid is iubilant over the fact of ht

Rapid is jubilant over the fact Of her
polling more votes than Deadwood, but
would it not be more fair, in this con-
nection, for Rapid papers to mention
the material difference in the area OF
the two precincts. The vote at Dead
wood represents the vote Of the city,
while the vote at Rapid represents the
vote Of township at least. That Dead
wood is the most popnlous city III the
Hills will still be claimed as it has been
in the past.
