American Tin.

The following sensible article, unde,
the above caption, recently appeared in
the st. Paul Pioneer Press:
England has had from time i'm.
memorial almost a monopoly of the
manufacture Of tin plate. The deposits
! of tin ore are extremely rare, the most
| extensive veins heretofore available for
! mining being confined to Cornwall,
Devonshirc, Wales. Australia and GER
tain East Indian Islands. But the great
discoveries of tin ore in the Black Hills
promise TO overthrow this ancient mon
opoly and transfer to the United States
u large share OF the mining and manu-
featuring industry employed in the
production OF tin plates. The character
and vast extent of the tin deposits OF
the Black Hills have heretofore been
described in full detail in the Pioneer
Press, but the English people who were
interested in the Cornwall and other
mines were naturally very unwilling to
admit the value of the deposits. the
development of which threatened to
effect very seriously the value Of their
British properties. But after a thor
ough examination by an eminent scien-
tile expert commissioned by some Of
English negotiators for some of these
properties, they have been forced to adj
NIT the g~enuineness and the value of
the Black Hills deposits. and The United
States will soon be able to supply her
WI tin market from her own resources.
The ore at any rate we have in album.

and that III extensive mining in

there is no doubt. The demonstration
OF the manufacture Of tin plates is likely
to be OF slower growth. At present ne
tin plate is manufactured in this coun.
try, and the reason for this is not only
that heretofore the production Of tin ore
has been chiefly confined TO a few local
tiles III Great Britain and its colonies
but because the sheet steel alone. which
is the basis ftin plate, costs as much a
present to manufacture in this countr,
as the completed tin plate ready fol
delivery at Liverpool.
But this is a difficulty which Ameri
can capital and skill may be relied on t
overcome in a very few years, and Will
the immense market for tin plat,
which conld be open to the manufac
ture in this country there is no reason
why the United States should not sOor
az successfully conapete with England
in this new line ofindustry as in tn,
production Of cotton or wooIlen good,
or carpets. 1t is but a few years since
the manufacture Of watches was begun
in the United States, and American
machine made watches have abou
driven the ~favorite product Of the Swis,
artisan ont of the market. The sam,
marked success has attended the devel
opment Of the silk industry. 1t is SAFE
to predict that before another decade
shall have passed the manufacture o
tin. plates will be a leading American
industry.

speculation, but the scheme Of the pro-
sectors TO get Britishers interested in
the property is interesting. They 1Alve
hired a shop near the stock Exchange
at $500 a month and filed it with sew
eral tons Of Dakota stone, which it cost
them $4,000 to get here. One Of the
chunks weighs nearly 5000 pounds
For five days British experts have at
tackled this stone with hammers, magni-
flying glasses, and analytical instruments
Some assayers from the Bank of En-
gland have been called in TO give
professional opinion. Their examina
ton of samples demonstrates that tin is
there and a good deal Of it. The Statist
says to-day hat the stone was blasted
out of the mines by a special commits
sion Of experts sem from England.
81 went down to look at the mass OF
stone and found it in charge Of Samuel
Untermeyer Of New York, who success
fully hoated the New York Breweries
Company here. He said the reason for
bringing theinvestments to London in
stead of to New York was the same in
both cases-that there is more money
here. The prospectus Of the Harvey
Peak Tin Company will be published
here this week. 1t is capitalized a

A Rumpus Among the Reds.

Omaha papers give the following ac-
count of the recent Indian rumpus al
Standing Rock, where a large number
Of Indians had assembled to attend a
council, among whom was old Sitting
Bull, who is violently opposed to the
treaty, and who, in the absence of Chief
Grass, took it upon himself to dictate:
The crafty old savage still feels ugly
over the fact that Chief Grass and not
he was sent to Washington and is more

opened the proceedings yesterday with
an address which evidently had been
carefully studied and in which he urged
the Indians not to sign the treaty and
limited at treachery on the part of Chief
Grass. At the close Of Sitting Bulls
characteristic speech he was greeted
with tremendous applause. Black

Vlpdictive Journalism.

Under the above caption the Dead
wood Times submits the following caus-
tic, but appropriate comments upon the
Engineering and Mining Journals crit,
cism of the late report of Professor
Vincent upon the tin properties of the
Harvey Peak Tin company in this
locality:
1t is not surprising thatthe Engineer
ing and Mining Journal, the hired 'or-
gan" of Phelps, Dodge q Co., should find
a text In Professor Vincent's report for
a vigorous attack upon Black Hills tin
but II is surprising to observe a journal
of It's pretentions and standing, descend
ing to such vicious and dishonest an
tagonism as was mani estcd in IFS latest
utterance. Fortunately the reasons for
and animns Of the Journals attacks are
SO well understood both at home and
abroad that their purpose must fail.

County Seat Removal.

Our friends at Oelrichs are circulating
a petition, to be submitted to the com
missloners at their next meeting TO al
low the people OF Fall River county To
vote on the question of county seat
The people of Hot Springs never ex-
pected to retain the county seat here for
all time, but until the county settled up
sufficiently to determine where was the
proper place for its permanent location.
We still think that Hot Springs is nearer
the majority of the settlers than Del
richs. We know it is nearer the centre
of the county.
Our idea is. if the county seat must
be moved, move it toward the centre.
If Oelrichs thinks the same, we will
unite with them and place the county
seat where it should be, near the centre
of the county. Under the law of con
greSs we could enter and locate the
county seat on one hundred and sixty
acres of government land which could be
sold fora sufficient sum to build asplend-
Id court house and have a large surplus
remaining. Now if the friends of re-
moval are honest they must admit this
would be the proper way to settle this
question.-Hot Springs Star.
Even at the risk of being advised by
an Oelrichs contemporary to mind our
own business, and not interfere with
other peoples affairs, we cannot refrain
from urging the consistency Of deferred
action in tins direction until such time
as the permanent centre of population
can be more definitely determined. An
additional railroad, which is not an
improbable event Of the early future,
may materially change the situation,
and furnish a guide for county seat
location at a point, which, at this crude
period in the county's history, is not
even dreamed Of. Do not jump at con-
illusions, but be wise and wait, at least
"a reasonable time upon the issue of
coming events.

A Good Medicine Which every Family
Should be Provided With.

kLOAAG w
There is no medicine SO often needed
in every household as a good reliable
linincnt such as Chamberlaiu's Pain
Balm. Hardly a week passes but some
member OF the family has need of it
for some ailment. A toothache or
headache may be cured by it. \ touch
of rheumatism or neuralgia quoted.
The severe pain of a burn or scald
promptly relieved, and the sore healed
in much 'ess time than when medicine
has To be sent for. y sprain may be
promptly treated before inflammation
sets in, which ~insuresa cure in about
one third Of the time otherwise re-
CURED Cuts and bruises should re-
ceiye immediate treatment before the
parts become swollen, which can only
be done when the Pain Balm Is kept on
hand. \ ore throat may be cured be-
fore il becomes serious. a trouble
some corn may be removed by apply
ing it twice a day for "A week or two.
Quinscy and glandular swellings may
be suppressed before matter has begun
to form in them. Boils are often the
result Of an injury and may be prevent.
ed by timely treatment. A lame back
may be cured and several days Of valu.
able time saved. A pain In the side or
chest relieved without paying a doctor
bill. When SO much pain and suffering
may be saved by the trivial outlay Of
fifty cents, it is certainly surprising that
any family would do without such a
remedy. The fact IL, few Of those who
have used Chamberlaln's Pain Balm are
willing TO be without it.
A Kansas City travelling man says
Chamberlain's Pain Balm enables him
to earn 81 1900 per year. 1t cured him
Of neuralgia with which he had been an
almost constant sufferer.
A. II. Elliott Of South Cedar, Kansas,
says: My father who lives near me
was thrown from a buggy, and nearly
killed, Chamberlain's Pain Balm saved
his life"
Mr.. VIM. Westlake, q prominent
farmer and stock-raiser near Ayoca,
Heb., was 60 badly injured by being
thrown from a sulky, that he could not
raise his hand 60 his head, by using
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, he entirely
recovered the use Of his arm IN two
weeks time, which enabled him to cx-
hibit his stud of horses at the fair and
they took the first premium.

The Chicago Mining Review wiesly
says: "a few thousand dollars spent by
the government in geological surveys,
in testing methods of ore treatment, in
furnishing the miner with means of
testing his ores, in road building, where
such roads would serve the public good,
and in a score of other ways, would
return a hundred fold, when most Of the
river and harbor appropriations are
worse than wasted and lost forever.
Millions of dollars are annually wasted
in the so-called river and harbor bills,
but the fact that no benefit or recon-
pense comes TO the nation from this
Investment has no effect upon it's
regular appropriation. However, should
some satisfactory return be made from
this waste Of millions Of dollars in river
and harbor improvements, it is time, if
certain amounts Of money must be legis.
lated out of the national treasury, TO
take into consideration some other
branch Of national industry which has
been neglected, and which would be
certain to make n satisfactory return.
