CHAPTER III.
DOCTOR ANTEKIRTT.

There are people who give q good
deal of employment to fame-that woman
of hundred mouths whose trumpets
four cardinal points of the earth.
This was so i'll the case of the cele-
brated Doctor Antekirtt, who had just
arrived in the harbor of Gravosa. His
arrival had been signalized by an Incl
dent which would have been enough to
attract public attention to the most
ordinary traveller. And he was not an
ordinary traveller.
For several years there had been
woven around Doctor Antekirtt sort of
legend in all the legendary countries of
the extreme East Asia from the Oar
danelles to the Suez Canal, Africa from
Suez to Tuuis, the Red Sea along the
whole Arab coast, resounded with his
name as that of man of extraordinary
knowledge in the physical sciences,
sort of gnostic or taieb who possessed
the last secrets of tho universe. In
earlier times he would have been called
an Epiphane, in the countries of the
Euphrates he would have been veneer
ated as descendant of the ancient
Magians.
How much of this reputation was
undeserved? All that would make the
Magian a magician, all that would attri-
butte to him supernatural power. The
truth is tha5 Doctor Antekirtt was a
man, nothing but man of high educa-
ton, powerful mind shrewd Judgment,
great penetration and marvellous perspi-
cacity, who had been remarkably served
by circumstances. For example, in one
of the central provinces of Asia Minor
he had been able, by discovery of his
own, to save whole population from
terrible epidemic up to then considered
to be contagious; and in consequence
his fame was unequalled.
One thing that contributed to his
celebrity was the impenetrable mystery
which surrounded him. Whence came
he? No one knew. What had been his

French of the French r answered
Pescade. French of the south of
France"
The stranger looked at them with
sympathy and feeling. Their misery
was too apparent for him to pass over.
Before him were two mountebanks, one
of whom at the risk of his life had done
him y great service, for q collision
between the trabacolo and the schooner
would have meant several victims.
Come and see me ON board!" he
said.
"And when p asked Pescade, with q
most gracious salute.
"To-morrow morning"
Tomorrow morning !" answered
Pescade, while Matifou gave sign Of con-
sent by nodding his head.
But the crowd had not censei to sur
round the hero OF the adventure. He
would have been carriedabouti i'll triumph
had he not been too big. But Point
Pescade, always wide awake, thought he
could make some money out of thepublic
excitement. And as soon as the
stranger, after gesture of friendship
had left for the jetty, he broke out
| with:
THE match, sirs. the match between
Pesclle and Cape Magifou. Walk up,
gentlemen walk up. You don't pay
till you go out-or You can pay Us you
come in-just as you please.
This time he was listened to and fol-
lowed by public he had never dreamed
of before
The ring was too small! They even
had to refuse money
The stranger passed on, but scarcely
had he advancetia step in the direction
of the quay than he found himself near
the young lady and her father who had
been present throughout the scene.
Close 10y was the young man who had
followed them, and to whose salute the
father only lad given a very naughty
acknowledgements.
In this mans presence the stranger
experienced a movement he could
hardly suppress. TWAS as if his whole
body WIS repei;ed, while his eyes
flashed like the lightning.
Tie girl's father stepped upto him and
said
You have just escaped great dam
ger, sir, thanks to the courage of that
acrobat"
Quite so," replied the stranger,
whose voice voluntarily or not was
masked by emotion.
Then addressing his interlocuter he
asked:
ITO whom may have the honor to
speak,"
ITO Silas Toronthal of Ragusa,"
answered the old banker of Trieste.
''And may ask who is the owner of the
yacht 2"
doctor Antekirtt!" replied the
stranger.
Then they parted, while shouts of
applause were heard from the distant
ring of the French gymnasts.
And that evening not only did Cape
Matifou have enough to eat, that is. to
eat as much us four ordinary people, but
another was left for one And that did
for the supper of his comrade, Point
Pescade.

The Outlook.

Winter is waning, the remnant left i,

liminary arrangements inrident to

meet the requirements of outside in.
vestors who have already announced
their coming in the approaching spring
Never in the history Of Custer has the
outlook been so flattering for the trans.
fer Of mining property, and the conse.
quent investment of foreign capital
The mild character Of the winter has
resulted in the development Of many
newly discovered lodes. especially in
tin, that will doubtless meet with ready
sale, when they meet the eye of incom-
ing capital.
The tin mines Of Warren district
alone furnish field for large and pro.
titable investment, and it may now be
safely stated that in addition TO the
amount already invested in that district,
II su II more than equal to the aggregate
Of what has hitherto been invested in
the mines Of Custer county will find in
vestment before the close Of the present
year. Other tin districts of equal
promise, proportiona'e to their degree
Of development, are lying in close
proximity TO Custer that are now rapid
ly advancing by development to point

which is now so Enthusiastically assured.
The continued growth Of the town,
while il is not extensive, is permanent
and durable in its character, unlike
many other towns which have been,
through undue excitement and unwar-
ranted enthusiasm, built up to degree
far beyond all Requirements.
During the present year thirty miles
of railroad will be built through Custer
county, which will not only directly
contribute hundreds of thousands of
dollars to the assessed valuation, but
indirectly add to it to degree that will
in the near future give us a property
valuation equal to Lawrence county
with not tythe Of her indebtedness.
BY letters received from the different
sections Of the east We are assured of
many families coming to settle in Gus
ter on account of its surprising health
fullness, and the captivating beauty of
its natural surroundings. Looking the
future squarely in the face, we can see
nothing but favorable indications for
Clusters continued prosperity, and as
formerly declared, her final supremacy.

Of 1890? When the shrili scream of the

myriads of toiling miners in the very
heart of the comparatively undevelope,i

thus given to mineral exploitation shall

stage Of our history presage the immeas-
urable degree of progress that the future
may disclose.
1t Is announced as the intention OF
the commissioner to publish pamphlet
descriptive of tho Black Hills region in
general the coming spring. and as much
as can be said in particular at this early
stage Of its development, copies OF
which will be sent upon request, which
can but result i'm substantial benefit to
the Black Hills country at large.

Misrepresentation.

That it has become necessary for us to
give 80 much space in refuting the
superficial and glaringly erroneous state
ments Of the incipient and erratc scrib-
bier of the Pioneer, is matter to be
deplored, but when we are represented
as having adopted the plan of merging
our beautiful city into q cate ranch,
we are constrained to raise our pen in
its defense, and proclaim the fact Of no
such rash intention being at present
under contemplation. The matter hav-
ing been long ago left in the hands Of a
committee, who have reported the grass
entirely too short, coupled with G
recommendation that in view of the
more extensive and luxuriant growth
Of grass, and the better facilities for
winter shelter, by utilizing the vast
number of empty buildings, that South
Deadwood offers much greater induce.
ments for such an enterprise. The
adoption Of the recommendation at our
next meeting is assured.

The population Of the territory has
been augmented TO degree that is
simply bewiIdcring. Five years ago it
numbered less than 10000. To-day il
has nearly reached the complement of Il
half million souls, an III paralleled in
crease of more than 207 per cent. The
number Of farms has been increased in
the past five years more than $1,000.
The total acreage in farms has been in
creased more than 100000 acres. The
value Of live stock has increased $34,-
600 600. The value of farm product has
increased about $32 100000. The wheat
crop has increased 27000,000 bushels
since 1879. Dakota produced in 1885,
30,000.000 bushels of wheat, l5,345 600
bushels Of corn, l3,229,000 bushels of
oats, 5000 600 bushels of fax seed.
The report shows capital invested
in gold mining in the Black Hills Of
81 100000. and the annual output is
estimated at $5,000O0O per annum.
The per cent Of inhabitants Of foreign
birth is estimated at 50 per cent. 1t is
estimated that 43 per cent Of the popula-
ton Of Dakota are females. The num-
Der of colored people is put at 7O7 of
Chinese 1871, and Lo the poor Indian, as
a citizen. numbers 697.
There are embraced in the territory
l09 counties, of which S5 are organized
Lawrence county is the only organized
county in the territory that has decreas-
ed in population in the past five years
a fact which is held to be due to the
falling off in the floating population Of
the placer miners who crowded the rich
gulches in the vicinity Of Deadwoo1
during the mining boom that immedia-
tely followed the opening Of the Black
Hills country. The commissioner in
speaking of the Black Hills, says:
There is another part Of Dakota
which was born without a railroad-the
Black Hills, in which direction the rail-
road became fairly headed only last
year The great mineral wealth of this
region brought about degree Of tevei-
opment and Of civilization that would
not have been possible, without the
railroad anywhere else. The pioneer
in the Hills country, however, had q
pretty hard row Of it, on account of the
exposure to Indian depredations and
other difficulties attending the early
settlement Of that region in 1876.
The Black Hills in point of fact is not
yet ready for the comparative statistics
of two censuses. It's time for that will
come with the United States census of
1890, which will record the grand re.
suits which the completion Of the rail
road into the heart Of that region and
the building of at least two other lines
of railway across western Dakota. will
speedily bring about"
The above array Of statistical facts
may be fairly considered astounding in
their contemplation; but with the far
more promising outlook for the future,

we are In receipt OF the JaUuaTy
number Of the Monthly Bulletin issued
by the Territorial Commissioner Of I'm
migration, from which we CLEAN late
and important statistical information
which we trust our readers will read
with interest.
There is now vacant, and subject to
settlement twenty million acres of
agricultural land in Dakota. In addi-
ton to this, ten million acres will be
thrown open for settlement upon the
final passage Of the Dawes Sioux reser-
vation bill, which will very likely occur
during the present session Of congress.
There is also large tract OF land held
by the Indians on what is known ts the
Fort Berthold reservation, much OF
which must eventually come into the
possession Of Dakota settlers, AS this
tract contains two thousand acres for
each Indian Of the tribe, without stipu-
lation as to age or sex. The largest
amount Of va can't land contained in any
Of the various land districts, is found in
the Bismarck district and is placed in
round number at 100000 acres The
amount of vacant land contained in the
Deadwood district is estimated to be
one million acres which might be rated
us agricultural. The commissioner in
commenting on the lands embraced in
the Black Hills district, thus discourses :
"The proximity Of the great forests of
native timber, a hard pine, making ex-
cellent lumber, and first-rate fllel-of
the coal. and of the innumerable stores
Of mineral wealth of every description
found in the Black Hills, will without
doubt go far to commend this part Of the
territory to farmer and land seekers"
