The tin excitement at Hermosa is
assuming immense proportions no less
than fifty claims having been taken in
the Squaw creek district during the
past two weeks. Ore has been sent to
Rapid City for assay and it is thought
that these finds will prove to be as rich
as any yet discovered in thu Hills.
These discoveries are in close proximity
to Hermosa and as a consequence
property in that fourishing town is
looking up. The Pilot shows un-
mistakable symptoms of "tin fever
and the contagion is rapidly spread
ing to neighboring towns.
On his return from Deadwood last
week Marshall Enoch, made the follow
ing statement to the Oelrlchs Advocate
man regarding the escape of Jas.
Doran: TUESDAY afternoon 1 made
arrangements to turn Doran over to the
sheriff, and long towards evening the
idea occurred to Doran that he had
some papers in his possession that he
desired to turn over to his attorney,
Col. Parker, and l let him go alone
to Parker's office never thinking for a
moment that it would be possible to
even run him out of the country. /
guess Parker must have ..been out of
town, as Doran failed to come back,
and upon investigation found that
he had concluded to skip"
The Conkling Club Of Pittsburg,
wanted Roscoe Conkling to be a candi-
date for President. After declining
in graceful terms Mr.. Conkling closed
his letter as follows: 1t will he a
great satisfaction if the club bearing
my name shall contribute in any way
to rcinstate the organization whose
wisdom and earnestness proved so use
full during the most tragic and trying
period of our history. To see that
party again triumphant, united and
worthy Of itself and its past-the brave
honest champion of the right and the
welfare and progress of sixty-three
millions of people, is inspiration
enough for all Republicans. In that
hope l unite with you and with all who
cherish it in sincerity.
The Rapid City Republican is enthusi-
astic over the discovery of immense
bodies of iron ore, commonly called
blue block, in close proximity 10 that
place and fondly chcrishes the hope
that Rapid City will eventually be the
Pittsburg of the west and the center
of the tin plate industry. In the
course of an article on this subject
the Republican says: Both gentle
meg give their unqualified opinion as
being that there is no reason why the
iron ores OF the Black Hills, which are
extensive and abundant; should not
be worked, and that they are
especially of great value for the pre-
paration of tin plates on account OF
their nearncss to the tin districts. It is
further learned that some efforts are
being made with considerable pros
pect Of success, to interest certain
great iron men in New York state in
Black Hills iron properties, and it may
be expected that in a short time q
movement will he made to work the
properties mentioned.
