Conseqent upon a lack Of p%recaution
on the part Of some Of the maskers a,
the Firemen's ball, their identity, much
to their displehsure and modification
were betrayed. In n instance, a lady
in her anxiety to make her disguise
complete, repaired to the house of 6
neighbor to dress for the occasion, Will
a view to more etftctually' shroud hel
identity, but her dissatisfaction anc
chagrin was simply awful when upor
entering the ball room she discovered
her little white poodle, which every
person IN town was familiar with, follow

ton that hereafter, upon similar oc-
c%asions, the little canine companion viii
be duly masked, or securely tied to the
bed post.

The MASQUERADE.

The masquerade ball, gotten up under
the auspices Of the Custer Fire * Hose
Company on the 10th INST. at the court
house in this city, was pre- eminently
the browning social event OF the season.
Notwithstanding the fact of this place
having been fairly surfeited with diversi-
fed entertainments during the two
weeks preceding it, the attendance on
this occasion was greater than has been
witnessed in this city upon any similar
occasion during the past eight years.
The brlefest description of the various
costumes which met the eye of our re
porter on this occasion would require
much more space than we have ut our
disposal. Suffice it to say that among
Of which there were more than a hun
bred, nearly every conceivable char
| acter was represented. The memorable
laws of society were discarded, and all
social lines ignored. The priest and
peasant moved upon the same social
plane; the queen Of night cast ne
shadow upon the sun lit face of the
empress of day the noble courtiel
bowed reverently to the scrvile maid o
ebony hue, and the fair representative
Of wealth and high social position seem

the occasion, andthat it was at

Oil.

A party consisting Of Reuben Miller,
William Graham, j. S. Brooks, and
James Cox ofLead City, and Mr.. Rogers,
a well known surveyor of the northern
Hills, accompanied by Frank Allebach
of Beaver creek, were registered at the
Vienna from Lead City OF Friday Of last
week. The party left on the following
morning for the oil regions near
Jenny's stockade, Wyoming, where they
proposed to make further oil locations.
This field is now attracting considerable
attention, and many locations are being
made. The presence Of oil in that
locality has long been known, but not
until recently has the attention of the
public been attracted to it. Several
companies have lately been formed,
two Of which at least, have been incor-
porated.
The prospect for paying wells is said
to be most tlattering, and that strong
confidence is entertained in the value
Of the lands for oil purposes, is indicated
in the fact, that there has already been
located fourteen thousand acres Of land
in the district. This field is located
about forty miles west Of this city, in
Crook county, Wyoming, and may be
easily reached from this place by a well
travelled road. a number of residents
Of this place are interested in these oil
lands, and many more wi. doubtless be
numbered among the oil ~locators in that
section in the near future. +. A. Dick.
son. of this place, left for the oil field.
on Sunday morning for the purpose OF
making locations for q company formed
in this city on Saturday.
The oil excitement is increasing, and
If the Harvey tin deal hangs a few
| weeks longer, oil will take precedence
over tin. A. ii. Kemmish left on Tues
day morning with a party with a view
to re-visiting II locality, situated about
eighty miles south Of this place, where
a few years since he rode into an oil
spring, and from which he experienced
considerable difficulty in extricating his
horse. Mr.. X. feels confident that nc
one but himself knows Of the existence
Of this oil spring, basing the opinion
upon the isolated character of the local
ity, and expresses the highest confidence
in the result of his mission.
