Tin Claims Bonded.

When A. P. Sterling went east few
days before Christmas, it was ostensibly
for the purpose spending the holidays
with friends. At the same time it was
remarked, sub rosa, that he had gone to
make a tin deal. The latter appears to
have been the correct reason for his
making the trip, the former one being a
secondary consideration. On yesterday
deeds were placed in escrow in the
Black Hills National bank, whereby Mr..
Sterling and others convey TO the David
Cock syndicate number Of tin claims
or lodes in the vicinity of those formerly
bonded by Mr.. Cock. and in which the
Stevens brothers and Rev. Van Cleft
were interested before the former deal
was declared Off Thus it would seem
that Mr.. Cock and his hackers have not
lost their faith in the Black Hills tin,
but that they intend pursuing business
line Of conduct. The reason the Cock
syndicate did not pay over their money
and take their former deeds out of
escrow are known to few and will
probably be made public. When the
inner workings of the zeal are made
known, there will be some tall cussng
done by some of the miners in that
section who were interested i'll the first
deal. The value of the deeds in escrow

Heading tor Deadwood

The B. d NJ survey is being continued
up Ruby gulch in the direction of Dead
wood, which poiht it is evidently their
intention TO reach at the earliest posi-
bic day, which is indicated by their
continued operations during the holi-
days, which only occurs in emergent
cases; the usual custom being to rest
during this festive period. The rumor
is also current here that it is the inten-
ton to complete the survey to Deadwood
early in the spring, when they will
return at once and set the grade stakes
TO the south end Of the line. The
nearest point to this place on the line of
the survey is about one mile distant, at
or near the residence of J. n. Wright,
on the main road leading west from this
city, and which. while it may not be as
close as many would desire, will doubt
less be fully as advantageous to Custer
as if TIE line had been run within the
limits of the city.
1t would now seem that the opinion
of Gen. Brisbin, as expressed in a letter
from Fort Mckinney to the Yellowstone
Journal, an extract from which appear
ed in the CHRONICLE Of last week, in
which he says "The b. d NJ. will be
in Deadwood from the south by Dec
3lst, 1885" is more than liable to be
realized; and yet Deadwood is not
unseemly proud, or immoderately
happv
