City Butte Nj T Sept 2 1888. Editor
Chronicle Dear Sir My attention has ben
called to a letter published in your paper

assent TO the proposition Of the Ameri-
can company and had accepted the fact,
which was established TO their satiscac'
ton, that plenty of tin existed in the
Black Hills which could be made to pay
a big profit ON their intended inyest-
ment. Later the new came by the way
of the Mining and Engineering Journal
of New York City, that the deal was
off" and the impression became general
that such was the case. 1t is now be-
lieved that the deal" was completed as
originally announced and that only two
things remained to be done to make the
transfer Of the titles TO the syndicate.
the first ofthese was the submission of
Professor Vincent's report which, it was
known, would be favorable. But it was
desired that the details should be ex-
planned and the plan Of operation per-
fected in accordance Herewith. The
second condition precedent was the
passage and approval, in the United
States, of a bill which would repeal the
clause Of the law excluding aliens from
proprietorship in American lands, which
referred to the ownership Of mining
lands. This latter was necessary in or
der that the title to the properties of the
Harvey Peak company might be trans
ferred legally. The alien bill is now a
law and the rppOrt of fpgSor Nipcapt
is said to have been very satisfactory.
If the limitations made by persons in a
position to know the facts, are any
criterion, it may be expected that the
completion OF the "deal' will soon be
announced.

Tom PerSlSfa.

Tom White still continues to be as
persistent as ever in his futile efforts &c
induce the world to imbibe the unwar.
ranted belief that there is but a trace o.
tin In the southern Hills, and that il
would cost more than its value to reduce
what there is. His latest effort to spread
disparagement in this direction, appears
in a recent issue Of the New York Fin.
anci&i and Mining Record, in which he
submits a column of criticism upon al
article written by Professor Carpenter
relative to the cost of tin reduction il
this country, as compared with Corn
wall, which was referred 10 in our issue
Of last week. Referring to this very
weak effort on the part of the ex-deputy
u. 5. mineral surveyor, the Rapid Re
publican submits the following:
We call attention to a letter from
Dean Carpenter, dictated to one Of hi,
friends, for he is not yet able To write
upon the tin question. He ignores
Whites attack upon him, but is still
DESTROYS to show that mine owners ear
rely upon his estimates. 1t seem.
strange that Deadwood or any otheI
city in the Black Hills should harbor {
man like Thos. II. White. He is relied
upon by some Englishmen as authority
upon matters which he is perfectly
ignorant of, and of which he absolutely
refuses to become acquainted, if indeed
the man has brains enough to dis
tinguish the difference between cassit
erite rock and Il piece of gumbo, which
many think he has not. 1t is therefor,
obvious that it is idle and a waste o.
time and space to pay any more thar
| passing notice to what he has to say
Men who have done less injury to the
people Of the Black Hills have in more
than one instance been hanged or rIr
out of the country. AS an example o.
his wanton ingratitude and perfdy, this
man White says: 1--WE are told tina
smelling can be done as cheaply in Da
kota, where fuel is $50 per ton, as it cal
in Cornwall where it is s. per ton, anc
wages in comparison" 1t is needless Il
say that this is a lie out of whole cloth
Prot. Carpenters only reference to til,
matter is that it will cost $50 per tor
and has estimated it the same in Corn
wall, we'll knowing that it does not cos
50 much, the official figures being $lO.4.
per ton. The professor does not al
vocate the smelling oftin. in Dakota. |

it is only a question Of a short time be

universally accepted as the beginning of
the change in orr mining industry that
must, in the years TO come, continuously

The advent Of the railroads, which is

that means, with Prof. Clark's treat

the people Of the Hills. The time has
come in the history Of this country
when a different and more profitable
plan and method of the treatment of

with the certainty of a rapid and con-

left on the freight train to return here,
a surveying party halted near the town
there, proceeded to pitch tents, and
went into camp. What the nature of
the party's mission is was not learned.
People around Hermosa say the outfit
has been seen several times in the

one has as yet learned what it repre-

is generally supposed to be connected

A late copVofthe F~remantle, Austria

Browlee, of this place, notes a number
Of very important gold discoveries in
that far away country. The rich finds
reported are located in the Kimberly
district, and consist Of gold bearing
quartz lodcs of extraordinary high
grade. One claim, upon which very
little development work had been done.
was sold to d Melbourne syndicate for
100000, and 100000 each al refused
for other claims which were wholly un-
developed. Labor is reported scarce in
the mines, and ca per week, which is
regarded as very high wages in that
country. Referring to the excitement
consequent upon the recent discoveries,
the Times says:
The all absorbing topic now is the
gold discoveries and already visions OF
prospective wealth float before the eyes
Of those who have been Iaboriously
