Mica Mining Revived.

Recent inquiries with a view of secur-
ing the entire control of the production
Of mica in the United States, as indicated
by a New York special telegram appear
ing in our issue Of last week, will doubt
less have a very decided tendency
toward bringing the mica mines in this
vicinity into good request. Already
evidence Of a desire upon the part of
mica men from abroad to secure inter
ests here has been manifested by the
arrival of two prominent gentlemen
from Minneapolis, with the special OBJ
ject of securing a valuable mica property
near this city. We are glad II state that
the object of their mission was realized,
and that operations will be resumed by
the gentlemen referred to upon what is
known as the White Spar mine at the
earlist practicable day. Under the i'm
petus which is liable to result from the
mica pool o being organized in the
east, 1T would not be surprising if all of
the prominent mica mines in this
vicinity would resume operations at no
distant day.

Organize.

Steps preliminary to an organization
of the business men Of this place should
be inaugurated during the present win
ter and in view of the slow progress
usually madei in perfecting organizations
of this character, in would be advisable
to mmen early, and m now.
The days of Custer quietude will end
with the advent of spring, and enter
prlses of unfathomable pith, and in
conceivable moment to this place will
rise upon the sea of chance to be grasped
by the determined hand ofunited effort,
or lost by reason of prolonged apathy or
over confidence on the part of her
people. We would suggest that a public
meeting be called at an early day,
looking to the establishment of an or
g~anization of some kind, with a view to
uniting the business men Of this place
for the special purpose of advancing the
interests OF the city. Will the business
men Of Custer give this important
matter their earnest and early atten-
ton?

Rev. w. d. Atkins of this place, who
last week visited his family, near White
wood, reports that new town booming,
and yet declares he had to readjust his
spectacles to recognize Sturgis it has
grown so rapidly since he was there last.
He says a gingerly air Of independent
hopefulness seems to pervade every
Black Hills town he has recently seen.
A spirit of confident expectation of good
things near at hand, has spread over
the Hills like a blessed contagion, and
a.. this in spite of a painful scarcity Of
money in general circulation. 1t will
take some time yet for the country to
get back tile money sent ont during the
last two years for feed, etc., which or
dinarily will be kept at home. 1t
is estimated, Deadwood alone expends
annually SOL ,574 on horse feed, it is
easy to see that even in the matter of
feed, it has been a great drawback to
the country that prior to the past year,
either a partial or total failure of crops
was quite general for those years. The
past year, however, came grandly to the
front with a smiling harvest, and We are
catching up again. The country has
the diversified elements Of a permanent
prosperity, and u citizens have a
right to believe in it, as indeed they
generally do.

was gotten up. Quite a number of
strange faces were noticeable on this
occasion, among whom were a goodly
number of the railroad surveying party
from their camp a few miles west Of this
city, who appeared to imbibe the spirit
Of the occasion to the fullest extent,
thereby reaping the fullest measure OF
social enjoyment. The occasion was
replete with pleasure, and in all respects
a pronounced success.

1t has been reported that a large tie
and timber contract is TO be let Q on
the railroad. This explains several
things. The original intention of the
townsite company at Whitewood was to
let the property rest until spring, but
it p e that the road is to be ex-
tended, and of course any report Of that
nature which got abroad would ire
trieyably ruin the company's corner lot
speculations. So the sale has been
hurried up. Since the news of an early
extension in the spring has become
public property the sales Of choice
corner lots in the cornfield there have
dropped to zero.-Butte Co. Star.

Tin Inquiry.

The following letter to the CHRONICLE

~withstanding the fact Of tin having been
found here in inexhaustible quantities,
and of a character exceeding in quality
any hitherto discovered in any part of
the world, which fact has been fully
authenticated and verified by the most
competent and irrefutable evidence
which could be brought to bear upon
the subject, the fact, SO patent to CHRoN-
ICLE readers, is still a mooted question,
and furnishes a subject for dispute in
eastern tin circles:
