Naturally there is much speculation
aroused by the visit Of Professor Vim
cent to the Hills at the present time
and the visit of representatives Of the
Stephens Tin company. Beyond doubt
the Harvey Peak company has consum-
ated a deal in London. Mr.. Inter
meyer should be good authority on this
subject, and he asserts it positively.
What the nature of the deal may be is
q different matter, though indications
point to IN Anglo-American company
40 the owner and operator of the mines.
The Stephens company representatives
are DESTROYS Of securing additions to the
list of property they have already pur-
chased, which is a favorable indication
Of faith on their part in the value Of the
mines. Those who watch the signs OF
the times are strong in the belief that
there will be active and important work
i%naugurated in Black Hills tin within a
short time-a consummation devoutly
to be wished.-Rapid Journal.

votes, as follows
Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1888-12-01

Estimating the population upon the
basis OF four to the vote, the aggregate
number of inhabitants in the ten cities
named would be 1886. Sioux Falls,
the largest in the territory, on this oasis,
which is probably underestimated, would
show a population of6,132. Fargo, $500;
Grand Forks and Aberdeen over 1000:
jamestown over $500 Lead City and
Deadwood owe 5000, and Huron, Rapid
and Mitchell over $500. Upon this
basis Custer City would have a popula-
ton Of ,064.

Buffalo for Kansas.

A st. Paul dispatch of the Dist saws:
The Manitoba's fast freight from Win
nipeg brought in a queer load of cattle
yesterday in the shape of a herd Of
eighty.three buffalo. The herd is the
famous n raised by Warden Benson,
Of Stony Point, Northwest Territory.
since 1877, from a young bull and four
heifers. They have been bought by C..
J. Jones, of Garden City, Kansas, who
has for some years been making a spe-
cial study Of the buffalo, and who has at
present a herd of fifty on his ranch in
Kansas. He began crossing them with
cattle, and his experiments have been
successful, the half breed buffalo being
a hardy and striking animal, while
much less wild in its nature. The rails
ing of the bison has become a profitable
business, as fifty cents a pound can be
obtained for buffalo meat in Chicago.
The animals will be shipped south to-
day. Cattle raisers everywhere are
watching Jones experiments with much
interests, and bison in their wild state
are almost unknown, a fact which makes
the attempt to domesticate and perpetu-
ate the species the more interesting.

Street Repiles to Churchill.

The following letter from Commits
sioner Street, in reply to DR.. Churchill,
is taken from the Pilot of the 3rd inst:
EDITOR PfLoT.
DEAR SIR: In a recent issue of the
Pilot ii. j. Churchill enters a lengthy
complaint in regard to certain acts Of
the commissioners, at their last session.
While | am averse to going into print to
Justify my acts 1s public officer-the
Pilot circulating beyond where Mr..
Churchill Is known-it seems To be nee
essary in this instance TO notice bis
communication. The cause of his COM
plant is that his taxes were not reduced,
and a reduction was granted the Sheldly
Cattle company. The cases are entirely
different. Mr.. Churchill asked for IA
reduction Of taxes on property held IN
Custer county. The Sheidly Cattle com
pany asked the commissioners not TO
assess property beyond the jurisdiction
of Custer county. The company claims
their stock was on the Indian reserva-
ton. The company own some property
in the county, on that they asked no
reduction. Mr.. Clark, the company's &
| agent, claimed that for 1886 they were
! assessed for more property than they
owned in the county, but that if the
penalty and interest was thrown of he
would pay it. Mr.. Churchill owns a
| store in Hermosa if he were to start a
branch on the Indian reservation he
branch certainly would not be subject
to pay tribute to Custer county. The
Sheidly Cattle company tnay, and posi-
bly, do, misrepresent the valne Of their
possessions in the county. If they do,
they are not alone. Had Mr. Churchil's
assessed valuation not been raised by
the board of equalization the public
would not have been favored with his
| late communication. ! have been u.
formed by reliable parties that he has
his property protected by two thousand
dollars insurance, and has said that that
was not enough TO protect him fully.
His real estate valuation added to two
thousand dollars would be far in excess
| of his assessed valuation. In view of
those facts is he entitled to a reduction
This is not the first instance of the
Doctors fault finding. 1t is well known
| that he nearly always has pet griev-
ance on hand. straightforward and
honorable criticism will command at
tention and respect for the author,
! while sneering and covert illusions, un-
| supported by evidence, are proof of a
| vindictive spirit, and only excite con-
tempt. Respectfully yours,
