Patience Exhausted

The following from the Hot Springs
Star indicates that the patience of at
least one of the newspaper men Of the
Hills, who have been furnishing free
reading for the masses, has reached a
point in his career where patience has
not only ceased to be virtue, but has
ceased to exist:
We are now working off an edition
twice the size Of our paid-up patronage,
and paying the postage upon papers we
never expect to realize even thank
you. We propose, after the next issue,
to strike off every name on the subscrip-
ton list that is In arrears. We have
notified delinquents time and again,
until forbearance ceases TO be a virtue,
if our patrons cannot afford to pay us
for our labor, the Star cannot afford to
battle for and advertise the interest OF
those that will not support it.

Tin Operations.

The following taken from the st. Paul
Pioneer Press of the 29th Ult. indicates
future operations on the great American
tin belt, by company recently organ
lied in England:
English capitalists, who pretty often
know good thing when they see 1T,
have made jump for the control of the
tin mining interests of the Black Hills,
and next year will begin mining there
on very extensive scale. Mr.. David
Cock, representing an English syndicate
known as the American company, pass
ed through the city yesterday on his
way east from visit to the mines. He
has already made large contracts for
machinery, and will have everything in
readiness for smelling at as early date
as practicable. The chief purchases Of
claims by the company were from Rev.
A. j, Van Cleft and Judge Prindle of
New York state. 1t is said that $165, 900
has already been paid for claims. st.
Paul parties interested in property in
the Hills had conference with Mr..
Cock yesterday.

A Fine Picture.

The finest view of Custer City that we
have yet seen, was recently taken by
Mr.. J. w. Pike, Photographic artist of
this place, copy of which may be Ell
at this office. The view embraces the
entire area of the city except small
portion Of the eastern end, and is by
far the most complete and expansive
view Of the city ever taken. 1t would
be difficult to imagine more attractive
picture than is here presented, embrac-
ing as it does the outlying mountains,
evergreen pines, and rocky cliffs which
form back ground of the most grand
and gorgeous character. This picture is
well calculated to create favorable i'm
pressions troad Of Clusters exceptional
beauty, and should be extensively cir
culated with this purpose in view.

Rich TIN Ore.

The Rapid Republican, after noting
the fact of some very rich tin samples
having been brought into Rapid from
the vicinity of Hill City, submits the
following relative to the conflicting
opinions expressed by an English visitor
concerning the value Of our tin deposits:
One Of the recent English visitors to
this section, who has long been con-
nected with the tin mines Of Cornwall,
stated to reporter of the Republican
the other day, in relation to this very
character of ore, that he was amazed at
the extent and richness of the groupings
which appear in the vicinity of Hill
City and Harney. "They are rich en-
ough and extensive enough" said he,
"to justify the immediate establishment
of large reduction works" 1t was
amusing to note, however, that little
while later, in talking to prospector
who owned several tin claims, this same
English visitor was heard 10 loudly as
sert that the tin prospects of the Hills
were not very promising. Yet he want
ed to buy some Of them, it seems, and to
get them cheap.

Pioneer Association.

Another effort is being made to per-
feet the organization of a pioneer associa-
ton in the Black Hills. The movement
is mainly under the direction of Capt.
Thomas Russell, Of Deadwood, who
made his advent in the Hills as far back
as 1874. The association will embrace all
who came to the Hills prior to January
lst, 1877. Copies ofconstitution and by
laws of similar organizations elsewhere
have been sent for, and at a meeting to
be called, in the near future, at Dead.
wood. the organization will be perfected.
Capt. Russell is fayorably mentioned
for president of the association, selec-
ton which would doubtless give general
satisfaction.
The CHRONICLE is preparing list of
the pioneers Of Custer and vicinity,
which, upon completion, will be sent to
Deadwood to be placed upon the roll of
membership. Pioneers residing in the
city or vicinity are requested to send in
their names and date of arrival in the

The presentation of this popular
drama bv the Custer Dramatic Troupe,
at the court house on Tuesday night was
greeted by an audience which far ex-
ceeded the seating capacity of the hall,
in consequence of which many had to
content themselves with mere standing
room in the aisles. The rendition of the
play, while it was by no means free from
the faults which characterize the aver
age amateur performance, was never
theless fairly creditable, and elected a
degree of applause rarely vouchsafed by
Custer audience. Lack of space pre-
cludes a special mention Of the various
characters comprised in the play. Joe
Morgan, as personated by +. III. Flynn,
is worthy Of more than passing notice.
Mr. Flynns delineation Of this difficult
character reached standard of ex-
cellence rarely witnessed at amateur
entertainments. His clear and perfect
conception of the character was at all
times obvious, and his vivid and i'm
pressive rendition Of its more intricate
and impassioned phases were as near
fautless as we may expect to see upon
the Custer boards for many years to
come.
A. f. Wallace as Sample Swichel, the
Yankee, while his accent and excentric
style of acting may not have been as
strongly suggestive Of the yankee char
acter as professional might have made
it, was nevertheless productive Of much
laughter and no little applause; and his
realistic impersonation of drunken
character, was only exceeded by the
degree Of ardor displayed in bestowing
upon Miss Mehitable, the osculatory
evidence of his satisfaction, when she
said yes to his matrimonial proposition.
Mrs. Morgan. and Simon Slade, were
characters fairly we'll sustained by Mrs.
l.. Mitchell and w. A. White respectiv-
ely, and Dolly Maple, as Mary Morgan,
was we'll chosen, and performed her
part most creditably.
The entertainment closed with the
amusing farce of Hans Won Smash, with
A. +. Wallace as Hans, which was proli-
fic of much laughter, at the close Of
which the large audience, in apparent
good humor, retired seemingly well
pleased with what they had seen and
heard

Miss Amanda Delmas is one of
the most successful sugar planters
in Louisiana. She is a creole and
was brought up to a life Of indo-
lence until the wheel Of fortune
took a backward turn,'and she
was thrown upon her own resour-
ces. To the surprise of her friends
she took the situation by The horns
and undertook the management of
the plantation that belonged to
her. Every morning Miss Delmas
may be seen riding horseback,
with a big sunshade on her head,
inspecting the gangs Of workmen
on her estate.
Rosa Wiss, of Meridian, Miss, is
held up as a model financIer. Some
one gave her five cents on her
birthday by way of a joke. She
bought a yard OF calico with it,
made a sunbonnet and sold 1t for
40 cents. This capital she rein
vested, and continued turning her
money over. AT last accounts she
had cleared $40. When we next
hear of this smart business woman
it will probably be with a bank ac-

Mutton is the Best Meat.

We extract the following from a
series of interesting articles pub.
lished by the American Public
Health Association
Mutton is more easily digeSied
;han beef, though in a healthy man
no marked difference would be OF
served, since in the stomach Of
such a man there arises 10 incCn-
venience from the digestion tfbeei.
However, mutton will be found 10
lax The stomach of The diSpeptic
less than beet does, and mutton
broth is both acceptable and valua-
BILE to the person suffering from
dysenlery and kindred affections Of
the bowels. But mutton is not 80
nutritious as beef. In dressing a
mutton the woOllv coat should not
be allowed to touch the flesh.
There Is quite a perceptible differ
ence IN The mutton taken from a
ratleDed wether, which has Tor some
been deprived of all excess in her
woolly coat, and of that taken from
a sheep which has heavy fleece.
The smallest proportion OF both lat
and bone TO muscle is found in The
leg consequently this is the most
valuable part OF the animal. Lamb
is moi so nutritious as mutton. Inc
tissue is soft, gelatinous, and rlen
in water. IL is used principally Oh
account Of its delicacy Of layor'
which, however, is very variable,
depending upon The breed ana
nourshment. Lamb should not DC
selected for those whose digestive
organs are weak.
