Fred Dumbeck started to TeXarkana to
spend Christmas. He left Fort Worth
Monday evening and should have reached
TeXarkana Tuesday morning, but it was
p. Ill , when he arrived, and the train
on which he was to return to Fort Worth
left two hours later. Imagine spending
Christmas on a delayed train.
Within the last few months nearly
every night, there is some person injured
by falling through the. Missouri Pacific
track, when the TIE Xas.and Pacific trains
arrive. The south bound train of the
Missouri Pacific is at that time laying TO
the west OF the depot and Fort Worth
passengers are compelled to cross the
Missouri Pacific train, or go around it to
get to the street cars. Some of the
passengers cross upon the platforms of
the Missouri Pacific cars, others go around
the train of the Missouri Pacific. At this
place then is an excavation of three or
four feet under the track, and every one
who attempts to cross in the dark
goes through. The injuries have gener-
ally been slight. On Christmas night
Mr.. l. r. Bridges of Dallas was seriously
injured his knee joint being fractured,
aud falling upon his side, he complained
of much internal pain. The best remedy
for this and like troubles would be the
removal of the depot to the west side of
the track. Until this can be done, we
suggest to those in authority to remedy
the evil as they may think best.

The New York group is another lot OF
! mines that are considered as good by
those who know and have given them
careful study.
The CODY is a recent find that stands
straight up in the air and has been
passed by every team that went Owe
the regularly travelled road, and Is from
two to sixty feet wide, and stands up
from rs to rs feet in the air, clear and
free from other rock. The mines in this
CODY group was located by Mr.. Dodge,
in the employ Of the Harvey Peak com
panv. 1t is said to be a big find. 1t
certainly is big enough to look at.
There are fifty to seventy-ive mines
located in the neighborhood ofTin Reef.
1t is not probable that all of them are
bonanzas, but many Of them are very
rich. There are many more mines
than those we have mentioned, but
there are SO many that it was impossi-
BILE to visit them all in the brief time
the Pioneer correspondent had to stay.
COLI MINES.
In early days the neighborhood of
Custer furnished much placer diggings
and many u miner gathered up n good

bread and butter for those who work
the ground. Ii has been found recently
that there is large deposits of ore in the
neighborhood Of Custer running from
Sl5 TO $40 per ton. This is ut present
attracting considerable attention. as
there is large quantities Of 1t, laying in
such a position that it can be easily
quarried from the sides Of the hills in
| which il is located.
/ Since the attention of the visiting in
/ vestors have been called to the gold,
there is quite an activity in the Penob-
scot property and the gold mines adj
jacent to it. These mines are said to be
rich. but that they have never been
worked right. Be that as it may, there
is certainly several rich veins of gold
ore, and that with the refractory ore
that has recently been discovered it is
fair to say that Custer City is OF the eve
of a boom.
Some have entertained the idea that
at no very distant day the Harvey Peak
Tin Mining and Milling company will
establish their headquarters at Custer,
and operate from that point. This alone
would create quite al activity in that
city.

THE MINES.
The mines hat are in the immediate

joins the great Tin Reef property Of the
Harvey Peak company OH the south.
This property is owned by Mr.. Butter
field and others. On this property are
many openings showing large bodies of
ore. This, no doubt, is a very valuable
property, and will some day bring the
owners big money.
Many think that the Harvey Peak Tin
Mining company own most all the tin
mines. This is not SO. There are still
large properties unsoid, and their own-
ers have not commenced to look for
purchasers, because they believe their
mines when opened up will show larger
bodies of ore than o appear from the
work already performed upon them.
The New Zealand group shows a fine
body Of ore, and is owned by Collins
and others. The veins on the property
are from three to six feet in width and
ara all looking well. Prof. Olds owns a
fine group of mines which he calls the
st. Joseph group.
Joseph Pitcher has a number Of very
finely located mines that give abundance

The Tin Clty.

From an article appearing in the
Deadwood Pioneer Of the 9th UT,
descriptive of the Tin City Of the Hills
and its surprising mineral resources, we
append the following extracts:
Custer has always been called the
most beautiful city Of the Black Hills
and was the first settled point in this
region. 1t was picked out by the first
ONE az the most beautiful site for a
city. Back Of the city flows French
creek, q fine stream Of water. Although
Custer lies ut least 900 feet higher up in
the mountains than Deadwood, still it
has q much earlier season than this
locality. This has been the talk Of all
the old-timers, and we believe it is a
fast. Farming in the immediate neigh
borhood il carried on quite extensively,
and the coy farm houses and out build
ings prove to the visitor hat the occu-
pants must be doing well, or everything
would not be 80 pleasantly arranged and
comfortable. The recent movements of
the Burlington surveyors in the neigh
borbood of Custer have given them high
hopes, and they arc looking forward TO
the advent that will announce that they
will oon have u railroad located at that
place, which will make it the tin centre
Of the Black Hills. This is bound to be
u fact, for from the doors of the hotels
can be seen the numerous tin lodges
standing high in the air, pointing heav-
onward and declaring the fact. The
Harvey Peak Tin Mining company
holds bonds on hundreds of tin mines
that surround the place, extending from
ten miles northwest to various points
running north and east. That all these
bonds may be taken up may not be true,
but many OF them will be. The prop
erty consisting Of twelve tin claims
known as the Lord Thurlow group, sit
uated near the northern limit Of Custer,
have been bonded by s. Ii. Emmens
and Hugh Henry for $4,000, the bond
to run six months. The property was
owned by Capt. &. A. Haserodt, Charles
Harbach and A. Wilcox. The same
parties also took q bond to run until
December 3lst upon five gold claims adj
joining the Penobscot gold lode, seven
miles west Of Custer, the proper ty Of G.. A.
Haserodt and Charles Harbach, for $780,
600, and a bond upon 100 acres of placer
ground, situated on Laughingwater
creek, near Custer, the property of A.
Wilcox, for $4,000, the bond to run six
months. The bonding parties are already
developingthe mines and for this purpose
have a lot Of men at work under the
charge Of Mr.. fIarbach. Prof. Vincent,
as well AS Prof. Einmens, have thorough
ly examined the tin property, and they
seem to have come to the same CON
c~lusion, that the Black Hills has q great
tin country in it. Everything now
points to the early Inauguration of active
operations in all the various enterprises
that have for years been held in check
by the delays incident to the develop.
