THE DlCKENs-CUsTER, LIMITrn
CHARLES DICKENS.


ne celebrated Charles Dickens
nine at Bonanza, Custer county. has
been consolidated with the eouallv
noted General Custer mine. The ne
EQUATIONS were made in London and
the name of the present enterprise is
dickens Custer, Limited"
A large and enthusiastic meeting Of
the stockholders of the new oreaniza.
'lon was held recently in London,
where the most satisfactory and har-
monious feeling prevailed. N,
Ireweek, the we'll known MINING
man of Utah, and the present mana,
ger OF the company's property in this
country, was present and gave a very
interesting detailed account of the ex-
tent OF development work already
done on the property.
The Charles Dickens has bean
traced by various openings on the
surface at considerable length, both
east and west. The course of the
lode Is nearly east and west, with a
dip OF seventy-fve degrees from the
horizon. Tunnel No. l has been run
eastward, following the course of the
lode distance of $50 feet, obtaining
a depth Of $50 feet from the surface
1t was above this level that the origi-
nal owner, William Norton, took the
ore from which he extracted nearly
$4,000 with hand mortar.
No. z, or lower tunnel, was COM
menced at point 95 feet below tun-
mel No. l, following the vein a dis
tance OF 600 feet, all the way in ore.
Upon careful examination it is es-
timated that there are 5000 tons OF
ore IN sight that will mill 20 ounces
in silver and sS In gold per ton, which
could be mined and milled at the
company's works for SIS per ton.
leaving a net profit of $13, or $780,
900 remaining in the backs. There
is another vein of ore running paral-
lei with the main Charles Dickens
and in close proximity to it, known as
the south vein. Ore was taken from
this vein which sold as high a:
$4,000 per ton. The manager calcu.
lates that it will take about foul
months time after operations com
mence to obtain the rich ore which is
known to exist in the south vein. A
drift will be run both east and wes
on the vein from the 200-foot level
which it is estimated will cost in thu
neighborhood of $4,000.

Boise County b. OF t.

From the report of the Committee
on Tariff we extract the following:
"We have carefully considered the
schedule on lead, and recommend that
the present rate be maintained. We
are led to this out OF consideration
for the people of Boise City. 1t is
well known that at that place are the
most extensive lead mines of the
world, and that the entire population
are directly or indirectly dependent
upon that industry. Large quantl-
ties of the metal are now on hand,
and any diminution in price will bring
ruin to thousands, and drive them to
the poor Farm Don't meddle with
lead, whatever else you do.
AS to sugar of lead,' we concluded
it was meant for sugar only, and
have SO considered it, and advise that
the duty be reduced, not only on that,
but upon all other ingredients that
enter into cocktails. In this country
that drink ranks among necessaries,
and our B. of T. are opposed to tax
ing them at any rate, unless for reve-
nue. simply. This will also conciliate
the Boise City B. of T.
| We think your schedule on slate
pencils might be reduced still further,
and possibly might be placed on the
free list, likewise chewing gum. This
will still further conciliate the Boise
City Board of Trade"
! In nearly every issue of the Boise
City papers we see notice OF some
kind of an insult of barbarous ma
ture directed at the Salvation Army
The last recorded is that Friday
night some one threw a heavy stone
against the barracks, which over
turned lamp fastened to the wal
on the inside. These frequent &C
counts of exhibitions of hoodlumisu
and depravity are getting monoto
nous. 1t seems queer that Boise
City would allow such conduct to g
on continually. The Salvationist'
have right, according to our form o
Government, to carry on their pc
culiar form of worship, and withou
. molestation and persecution, ant
those who do not like their forms ant
ceremonies can keep away from them
The Salvationists have one virtu
that has been severely tested, and b.
this time ought to cease to be virtue
and that is patience.

The following items are taken
from a letter in the Democrat from
Rocky Bar, under date of March Sd:
"Rlley Bostwick, the young man who
was injured in December in the Ia.

since. She left husband and three

GENERAL CUSTER.

On this mine FIVE tunnels are being
run on the lode, developing an ore
body 600 feet in length, and from two
to ten feet in width. 1t is estimated
that there is fully 10000 tons of ore
in sight in this wonderful mine
which will mill s22 per ton, and
yield net profit of s2S0,000 in the
block of ground already explored.
The Custer mine and mill was pur-
chased by the London syndicate for
s1S0,000, and it appears that there is
more in sight in the mine now than
was paid by them for the whole plant.
1t is the intention of the company to
commence a tunnel at point on a
level with the mill to cut the lode at
a point 1900 feet below the old work
ings of the Custer mine. This will
require a tunnel 1900 feet in length,
at cost of SO per foot, and occupy
about eight months time to complete
it. A Burleigh drilling plant for the
purpose, costing about $1,000, will be
put upon the ground as soon as the
roads will admit of the transportation
of machinery. The company propose
to dispense with steam power and utl-
lize the water power which can be
supplied from the Yankee Fork creek
This will require ditch one and a
half miles in length, to be constructed
at a cost of $4,000. With water
power it is claimed that a saving OF at
least 81 per ton can be made IN the
reductiop of their ores. The man
ager expects to make regular ship
ments of bullion to the company II
England after about the 10th OF April
next. or as soon as the roads are IL
condition to haul ore from the Dick
ems mine to the Custer mill. 1t is eS
pected that the monthly production
will be so largely increased that tn
company will be obliged to doubl
the capacity of the mill from 30 to o'
stamps. BY doubling the number o
stamps it is calculated that the gros
profits of the two mines would amour
to s531,6O0 per annum. lhese hg
ures seem to be based on low-grad
ores, regardless of the rich ores wh'c
ara known to exist in the south vel
of the Dickens ground.

Of lumber was totally destroyed BY FIRE
last Monday morning. The fire broke
out at 1;30 a. m, and burned very
rapidly, completely battling the efforts
ofthe citizens to extinguish the flames.
1t originated from spark frofn the
stack lodging in some shsvings on top
of the building. The Holston Packing
Company's building was also badly
damaged and may prove to be entire
ly ruined. The total loss TO all build
ings is about $4,000. Insurance will
