Tho Fire at Buffalo Gan.

An incendiary fire at Buffalo Gap on
the night Of the 9Th inst. resulted in the
loss of four buildings, among which we
are informed Was the postofiicc building
owned by the postmaster, Mr.. Thomas
Quigley. In consequence Of the nom
arrival of the News on time, which, by
the way, is matter Of almost weekly
occurrence. We are unable TO gi ye full
particulars, having to depend wholly
upon verbal reports, which being so
conflicting in their character, leaves us
ingulphed in a sea of uncertainty as to
the amount Of damages su tanned,
amount of insurance held on the proper
ty destroyed, and many other l,articu-
lars which would have been of interest
to CHRONICLE readers.

Work at the Eta mine is being con.

Work at the Eta mine is being con-
tinued, and it is thought that the mill
for the reduction Of tin will be COM
pletsd at an early day. We are inform
ed by Mr.. Russell, latterly engaged on
the mine, that every indication pointed
to its permanence, and that notwith-
standing the vague rumors Of the alb
sence of ore in the lower levels, put in
circulation through sheer spite by
wholly unreliable parties, that the mine
had steadily improved as depth was at
tanned, and that the outlook for un-
qualified success was never more en-.
couraging than at present. The ultimate
success Of this great enterprise upon
which, to great extent, the future
development Of the tin resources Of the
Black Hills depend, is looked forward
to with the deepest interest, and the
faintest allusien to failure through an
unreliable source will be given no at
tention whatever by men of ordinary
intelligence.

After many months of bitter suspense,
after having exhausted every known
method in our prolonged efforts for it's
anquisition, we have got there Ely.
BY and order Of the postmaster gen
eral, dated February 9th. the post
masters at the terminal points, are an-
thorized to advertise for bids on mail
service from Buffalo Gap to Custer six
times each way per week. Ten days is
the time allowed for advertising. The
bids will then be sent to the department,
and the much desired service will be
put OH ut once.
Much credit is due to our delegate in
congress, Hon. O s. Clifford, TO whom
all petitions and communications have
been intrusted. 1t is needless to say
that Custer is jubilant.

CuatHr,R Park.

Clusters Park, upon which the pioneer
city Of the Black Hills is built noted far
and wide for it's natural beauty and
romantic surroundings, is not equalled
in any state Of the Union as a health
resort. The low mortuary record of
this enchanting spot shows conclusively
that in this particular she stands with
out a peer. 1t is a remarkable fact that
from July, 1873, to July, 1875, when
Custer had population ranging from
800 to 5000, but one natural death is
known to have occurred. six years af-
ter Custer was settled the number Of
natural deaths averaged less than two
per year. When General Crook reach
ed this point in rs the death rate in his
army was reduced to a blank. When
his army left for Red Cloud it was at
once increased, one death occurring
between this point and the Cheyenne
River. And to-day, after having been
settled for nearly eleven years, less than
twenty five natural deats have occurred.
The peculiar atmospheric conditions
which prevail here, are not only con-
ducive to the continuance Of robust
health, but possess In an eminent degree
the rare power of restoring the invalid,
in every case where the nature of the
malady will admit of restoration by
climatic influences. While it is a fact
that the altitude Of Custer is greater
than that Of any other Black Hills town,
being $500 feet above tide, it is even
warmer than towns Of much lower alti-
tude, and the snow fall correspondingly
less. The high winds known to prevail
in less favored localities, by reason Of
the we'll sheltered situation, are here Of
rare occurrence. We have among us
to-day a number of persons. whs in
consequence of serious physical indis-
position were compelled to leave their
former homes in the east, who are to-
day in the enjoyment Of the most per-
feet health, which was attained through
the magic influences Of this wonderful
climate in a few brief months This
place is especially noted for its benef-
cial effects in asthmatic cases, which in
no single instance has failed TO give i'm
rediate and rerranen, relief That

1t has always been our firm belief
that when this country becomes settled
and the price of labor in consequence oi
EASY communication with the east had
reached its level, that the vast gold de-
posits of French creek would be utilized
French creek has been sufficiently pros
pected to fully justify the belief, and to
make it comparatively certain, that it
could be profitably mined on the basis
OF wages that prevail in the east. This
stream has been submitted to partial
tests from point ten miles east, to ten
| miles west of Custer with similar results,
the gold being found to exist for twenty
miles without perccptible change as to
quantity in anv particular locality, ex-
cept in instances where very rich de-
posits are found. which are as liable to
occur in one locality as in another. At
no time since 1876 has this stream, for
the briefest period, been wholly aban-
doned. Miners varying in numbers
from a half dozen to a score or more,
have been engaged in extracting from
her ineXhaustible deposits the shining
dust that all do covet. More extensive
preparations for mining this stream and
its tributaries are now being made than
have been undertaken heretofore
Water from long distances by means of
bitches will be brought in for the pur-
pose of hydraulic mining, system
never adopted in the past, which gives
promise Of large returns from the capital
thus invested. The primitive, or bed
rock in what is called the main channel
Of French creek, on account Of the large
amount of water encountered, has never
yet been reached, consequently its real
merits are but partially known. But
when we consider the vast extent of the
gravel wash by which she is surrounded
all containing more or less gold. We can
not ignore the reasonable conclusion
that when the bottom of this vast chan
mel has been reached, that large deposits
of gold may be developed, which by
comparison all former placer discover
les in the Black Hills would pale, and
sink into utter insignificance.
Many streams in California, and in
other mining countries which have
been partially prospected, have been,
under the ban Of false judgment aban-
doned and left undisturbed for many
years, but to be proven by later and
more perfect development TO he verita-
BILE bonanzas. That history should fail
to repeat itself where every indication
points'so Enthusiastically y and palpably to
the inconsistency of such a belief, is not
for a moment TO he reasonably enter
tanned, aud until the fact of the absence
OF gold in paying quantities has become
fully assured, we will be found adhering
10 the belief which every consideration
in the premises so clearly warrants In
any event, should the main channel of
this stream remain undisturbed. and
the value Of its contents he forever
matter of conjecture, the rims and bars
which lie contiguous thereto, will fur |

number of miners for very
many years to come

Buffalo Gan Criminals.

scene Of robbery on scale that wo lid

county Jail contains four Of this class OF

that Buffalo Gap should he infested with

it is one of the unhappy features that
invariably characterize q railroad ter

not subjected to that summary penalty
which is SO frequently meted out in
mining camps, one case of which, or
dinarily, causes total suspension of the

northwest of this place, in Custer coun-
ty, continues to attract much attention,

Remedy has been priced for its speedy
and certain cures of Group. It is the ia
vorite and main reliance with thousands

but if freely used as soon as the first indi
cation of the disease appears, that is as
soon as the child becomes the least hoarse,
it will prevent it, doing away with all
danger and anxiety. There is not the
least danger in giving the remedy freely,
as it contains no injurious substance.
Sold by B. Wagner & Co.
Watch for it! The first symptom of
true Group is hoarseness, and if Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is freely given at
once, and the doses frequently repeated,
the dread disease may be entirely pre-
vented and all danger and anxiety avoid
ed. Sold by 3. Wagner & Co.
Chamberlain Cough Remedy does not
dry up cold, but loosens and relieves it.
1t aids expectoration, opens the secretions
and frees the system of the poisons of a
cold. Its soothing, healing and strength
ening powers have won for it the title of
the best made. Every one who uses it
says it's a good medicine. Sold by B.

GRAND sHoWlNc-
The Last Trego County Bond
Redeemed.

County Treasurer Kelly went to Tope-
ka on Tuesday to make his quarterly
settlement with the state treasurer.
The funds which he took to the state
treasurer were as follows:
From sale Of school lands -. $40, 1885
From taxes, 1885. ......-. 2l9EI3
Redemption of county bonds. 100000
1btal amount. ....... .$23, 0l5.49
Our last bond of Indebtedness has been
redeemed. Trego county is out OF debt;
ier scrip has been at par for years. In
point OF financial thrift, she stand at the
head of Kansas counties.
Not among the least of the considera-
tions entering into this summary OF facts
is the idea that this brilliant financial
work was contaminated, for the most
part, during the years of drouth, when
the average citizen to the east OF this was
impelied by orr gloomy situation to give
MS a wide berth.
This marvel of financial management
speaks in thunder tones of the efficiency
and honor which have characterized our
county officials generally. The only man
Who ever seemed to have morbid inter
est in perjuring himself for the sake of
sxtorting heavy bills from the county has
loft for the county's good. Beyond all
this, il is duty which we owe to our
county commissioners, past and present,
to say that they have aimed to do right.
To omit to say that, in this financial man.
agement, they have been aided by Mr..
Pinkham, as county clerk, and Mr.. Kelly,
as county treasurer, would manifest a
disposition on our part to be unwilling to
give these two gentlemen their dues in
the premises. We risk nothing in saying
that an alertness of no mean order will
be required to keep Trego county in her
present relative financial condition to the
other counties in Kansas-to keep her on
top.
In conclusion, the WORLD asserts that
the freedom with which the Republican.
party of Trego county has changed its
forms OF making nominations for official
positions has kept down such thing as a
real political ring. This fact has had an
influence of no mean dimensions in keep
ing every officer with his face to the front
for the performance of his plain duty.
