Custer County Condensed.

The north line Of Custer county joins
the south line Of Pennington. On the
east is the great Sioux reservation
South is Fall River county, one almost
agricultural. Western limit touches
Wyoming territory, which is rich in
stock grazing on superb agricultural
land.
The location Of the three principal
towns in the county form almost a per,
feet triangle. Custer, the county seat
is a Hills and mining town, situated in
the northern centre % miles distant
northw restroom Buffalo Gap, and the
same distance southwest from Hermosa.
Hermosa is on Battle creek twenty-five
miles north from Buffalo Gap, and on
the line ofthe F.. +. * M. V. railway.
From north to south east of the Hills
and to'the eastern limit of the county
is a vast expanse of agricultural land,

Mineral

The reported discovery Of an impor.
tant quantity of platinum in Arkansas,
is a matter of more than passing inter.
est in view of the fact that our supply
Of this metal, as discovered, at present,
is by no means extensive or widely ex
tended. So far this metal is found in
place in about 20 localities in the world
but it will doubtless be found, as in the
case of many other matters of this kind
that a lack of knowledge and careful
examination must be credited with the
cause Of this continued scarcity, as il
has been repeatedly shown that the dis.
covery Of a mineral in one locality
causing a closer examination in others
has resulted in revealing the fact tina,
it has been neglected and thrown aside
through ignorance in regard to its real
character.
For years this country has imported
its supply of tin entirely from a few
mines in Europe, while more recent in
vestigation reveals that it is evident the
future will show that our country pos
sesses this metal in larger quantities
and in more diverse localities than has
ever been known before. All these
things prove the costliness of ignorance
and demand, in view Of the importance
of the subject, that public expenditure
of money and talent should be made by
the government to thoroughly prove
and test the mineral resources and best
methods OF securing the same in every
part Of the country where mineral
deposits are indicated. 1t would GER
tainly be o valuable in its results
than the vast annual expenditure for
river and harbor improvements and
many other appropriations equally use-

Beaver creeks, all ofwhich are tributary
to the Cheyenne river, whose waters
run from south to north through the
eastern part Of the county. Thousands

l,amar's Indian Policy,

Secretary Lamar, in his forthcoming
report, it is said, will practically indorse
the recommendations Of Commissioner
Atkins relative TO the future treatment
of the Indians. While the secretary
does not exactly coincide with the
views Of Commissioner Atkins in the
matter of the abrogation of existing
treaties which he believes to be neces,
sary to the final success Of the policy
the secretary will oppose the making OF
any further treaties with any Of the In,
dian tribes. He favors the establish.
ment OF a permanent commission &c
consist of three civilians and three army
officers, who shall have charge of In.
dian affairs in the field, and who viii.
never come east Of the Mississippi river
except upon special business. The
chief aim Of the commission will be the
abolition Of tribal relations, and they
will be given the general supervision Of
the Indian service in every phase which
is not under the direction Of the Indian
agents.
The secretary favors liberal appropri,
atoms by congress, which he considers
necessary to the accomplishment of the
end desired, which is the final setting
down of the Indian upon 100 acres O
land, with the proper facilities at his
disposal for the maintenance o fhimsel
and family. The policy ofthe secretary
while it is possibly not as aggressi re a
that of the commissioner, has a similar
bearing, and while it may require {

reach the same result, that Of breakin.

of the strongest and ablest nations Of
the earth. It's have been
carefully preserved and good bargains
have been made wherever its products
have Sought q market. With such an
example so long and steadfastly main
tanned, it is strange that the fnanciers
and political economists Of our own
country are so careless and Indifferent
concerning its resources, which are in
fact the foundation stones upon which
its prosperity and permanence must be
bnilded.
No other nation on the earth has
within its boundaries such vast and un-
explored supplies Of minerals as our
own. And it may be said with equal
truthfulness that no government is so
Indifferent concerning the development
and proper utilization Of its resources.
With vast stores of iron reaching from
one end Of the land TO the other the
records Of commerce show q constant
and steady importation of this metal
from other shores. Annually importing
from S30,000,U00 to $i0,000,000 worth Of
tin, our W u%nequaled deposits are left
to a slow and oft interrupted develop
ment of private enterprise. Producing
the larger proportion of the silver pro-
duction Of the world, the United States
Mint telegraphs daily to London asking
what price it may pay its own miners
for silver to be coined into American
dollars. Loaning money to distillers
and railroad corporations, expanding
millions annually for the benefit Of
commerce ia the hands Of foreigners,
vast tracts Of silver-bearing territory
| within its borders lie unexplored and
unsurveyed, except as private and I'M
aided enterprise of individuals slowly
peaetrates these unsettled regions. No
geological survey by the government
assists the miner in his search or labor.
While the government makes harbor
ard river improvements for the vessels
Of foreigners, the miner is taxed to
build his own road ever when the de-
velopment Of mines and the establish
ment of towns and cities advances the
vanguard of civilization and sets in
motion a hundred streams Of industrial
activity far in advance Of the slowly ex-
tended wave of civilization. In view of
all these things, in view of the import
ance of the subject, of the vastness of
the industry, of its inhuenc upon nation
al prosperity and advancement; consid-
ering the volume of the steady stream
Of in~destructible wealth it will pour into
the channels Of businss activity and the
strength it will add to business enter
prise by its steady and reliable output,
the question may well be asked if the
magnitude Of this matter does not de-
mand more than passing attention.
With the development of the mining
industry upon a business basis, with
such regulations and assistance as the
government might justly bestow, the

wrecks Of business enterprise, would be
greatly modified if not entirely averted.
