for Clusters benefit, aside from mineral
development, no one at all familiar with
the situation can entertain shadow o!
doubt.
The bonding Of number of ranches
along French creek, below this city
during the past week by the representa-
tive of the Harney Peak Tin company,
can only be regarded as a favorable
omen for this place, as it would seem
apparent that it was the settled inten-
ton of that company to secure the
water. with view to its future use in
the reduction of tin ores from their
valuable mines lying adjacent thereto
1t is now generally believed that the
principal reduction works Of the com
pany will be erected on French creek
near the eastern limits of the city, where
they now hold under bond suitable
lands, and ample water privileges, tc
meet the necessary requirements in thin
direction.

The Bonds.

The bonds held by the Harvey Peak
Tin company upon various tin claims in
this locality, amounting in the aggregate
to more than one hundred thousand
dollars, expired on Tuesday, the lst inst.
Messrs. Fowler and Willsie, representa-
tives of the company, were present in
this place before the expiration Of the
time, endeayoring TO secure an ex-
tension of time upon the bonds until
July 18th, without advancing any mon
ey, which effort on their part was not
attended with any degree of success, as
in no case, up to the time of going to
press, has such proposition been accept
ed. 1t is rumored that offers of GER
tain amount of money have been made,
upon the condition that the time be
extended sixty days. but nothing
definite is known at this writing. The
escrows still remain in the bank, and
negotiations are still pending, with a
reasonable hope of satisfactory adjust
ment

Random Chatter.

At this writing "Wednesday after
noon) a copious rain is gladdening the
hearts of the farmers in the outlying
valleys and parks in this vicinity, and
stimulating the hopes Of expectant
placer miners on French creek, and its
gold producing tributaries.
The swelling tide which courses it's
way along the principal thoroughfare Of
the city still furnishes irrefutable proof
Of continued carelessness on the part Of
the city board of trustees, and renders
the matter of crossing the street, at
times, extremely critical. 1t is to be
earnestly hoped that the new board
which is soon to be elected will give
this matter early attention.
Public attention is now being attracted
to the vast bodies of refractory gold
ores, found in the immediate vicinity Of
this place, which have been proven by
numerous tests recently made to be of
surprising value. One of these massive
lodes, at present in the hands of local
parties. upon which sale is being
negotiated, shows body of ore of uni
form character more than two hundred
feet in width, which, as shown by more
than hundred careful tests, will yield
something over $40 per ton. This ore
is refractory only in the sense that the
gold contained in it cannot be saved by
the ordinary mill process, and can be
readily and successfully treated by the
simplest method employed in the re-
duction of ores of refractory character.
In no other locality can there be found
such mamoth bodies of gold ore, offer
ing such exceptional inducements to
investors, rs are here found, and it is
but a question OF time when the devel-
opment and reduction of the gold ores
in this locality. will become an industry
only second to the great tin industry
which must in time dwarf all others in
its productive features and important
results.
Clusters chances for a railroad are
even more flattering than ever. The
report appearing in the CHRONICLE few
weeks since, that the Gillette surveying
party would soon return to this place, is
now confirmed by an order for a change
of their mail matter from Crawford to
this city. The latest advices indicate
that they are now engaged cross section
ing in this direction from Crawford.
Thatthe present year has much in store

Funny Side.

The lecture at the court house by Rev.
w. ID. Atwater on Tuesday evening was
highly entertaining, and was listened to
with marked attention bv an audience
which was, on account of the inclem.
ency of the weather, far below the
standard which the merits of the lecture
would warrant. The lecture was inter
spersed with humorous incidents and
experiences in the speakers ministerial
life, which were very amusing, and
highly enjoyed as evidenced by their
risible effect. Funny Side," as a
humorous lecture, is fully up to the
modern standard, and should be re-
peated in this city under more favorable
circumstances

The annual tournament of the Black
Hills Firemens' Association which is to
be held at Spearfsh on July 4th, was
awarded to that place upon bid ofSl 200,
which was the highest, best, and only bid
made for the grand tourney. 1t now
transpires that Spearfsh overestimated
the value of the deceptive whistle. as
the fact has suddenly become manifest
that there is strong desire in all the
principal towns of the Hills to celebrate
at home, in which event the benefits to
Spearfish, resulting from the location of
the tournament at that place, will be
exceedingly thin. In the event Of no
other town participating, which now
seems probable, the possibility Of a
repetition of the dsgraceful scene at
Lead last year will be happily obviated
which is possibly the only comfort to be
derived from the sudden turn in the
| tide of tournament events.

Amusing Ideas.

Billy Baird returned last evening from
Chicago and Omaha, and to-day pro-
ceeds to Sundance. He says that much
inquiry is heard abroad concerning the
Hills, but that it all pertains to Rapid as
n result of that Pioneer Press write-up.
That remarkable etfusion created many
amusing ideas concerning the Hills
Deadwood Times.
Yes, and anxious easterners who
peruse the map accompanying the Dead
wood write-up in the same sheet will
not only be ideally amused, but will
wonder what has become of Custer
county. The town write.up is fraud
pure and simple. The Black Hills at
large should form the basis of Black
Hills special write-ups.

day, accompanied by his wife, and re-
mained in the city until Monday. Mr..
and Mrs. Hughes were very forcibly
struck with the beauty and grandeur Of
the surrounding scenery anu expressed
a desire and determination to spend
large portion Of their time in Hot
Springs and possibly take up their per-
manent residence in this place. While
here Mr.. Hughes, in company with Col.
Fred Evans, drove over the proposed
route of the Hot Springs and Custer
branch Of the f., +. & NJ V. with a
view, it is thought, Of commencing work
on this line at once. Indeed Mr.. Hughes
intimated that Hot Springs would have
Il railroad in very short time and it is
stated upon good authority that the road
will be completed to the stone quarry
recently discovered and located by
Messrs. Evans and Donnahue, situated
near Minnekahta Falls, within the next
sixty days. The Star INDUCES the hope
and firmly believes that Hot Springs
will have railroad communication with
the outer world before September lst.
The Elkhorn company already have
material at Chadron for some fifty or
sixty miles of road which will probably
be used in the construction Of the
branch to this place and ultimately to
the tin district. In consequence Of the

the early completion of a railroad to
