Active Preparations.

The Rapid Republican referring to
the Stephens Tin Mining company,
whose property is located near Hill City,
says This company appears to be
quite active. Although not engaged in
actual work, they are understood to be
making preparations for that purpose
and will, if reliance is to be placed on
the statements of many interested par
ties who ought TO know, be engaged in
mining and milling tin ore within the
next six months. 1t is certain that
large purchases were recently made by
the Stephens company, of Black Hills
tin properties and, according to the
Pioneer Press and other eastern papers
at least $l65,000 was invested by that
company in tin properties here"

Christmas.

A slight snow falling on Monday, gave
rs a white Christmas" which many
believe to be conducive to better health
and higher degree of ENJOYMENT on
that festive day However that may
be, we are assured of the fact of the day
having been measurably enjoyed in this
place.
The churches reproduced the usual
gift entertainments on Christmas eve,
which is always enjoyable. Christmas
day, which was a trhe cold for street
comfort, was no less enjoyed at the
many private homes where festive feat
ures, and social enjoyments were largely
INDUCED. The evening was pleasantly
spent bv many in tripping the light
fantastic" at the court house, where a
well conducted dance, hastily improvis-
ed for the occasion, was largely attended,
and greatly enjoyed. There is no reason
for serious complaint az to the measure
of opportunities for the enjoyment of
the day in this place, and that the OPP
portunities were fairly utilized there is
every reason to believe.

Tin Rumor.

The Rapid Republican of the 23rd
inst. says: yesterday there was a
rumOr current on the streets which had
SO much of fact in it as TO almost amount
TO an authoritative report, that n great
eastern company, whose wealth is un-
limited, had secured the consolidation
Of large number of fine tin properties
and had made conditional purchase of
them. 1t arpears that this company
paid dow1 n considerable amount yes
terday afternoon to the owners of the
properties consolidated, and have agreed
to pay down the rest Of the purchase
price, if they shall be warranted in
establishing mill for the production Of
tin, after thorough development. The
company in question is one which was
largely responsible for the introduction
of the Birmingham and Gogebic iron
districts to the world and its interests
in the Black Hills tin insures greater
increase of prosperity to this section
than could follow the operations Of any
other American company"

Deadwood Inaugural Car.

While at Chicago, Mr. Warner inter
viewed officials Of the Northwestern,
and of the Wagner sleeping car com
pany, relative TO rates for a sleeper for
the round trip, Whitewood to Washing
ton and return, for the inaugural to be
absent ten days from Whitewood, and
was given very reasonable rates, to-wit
One fare $3.50 for the round trip; and
$50 day for the sleeper, the latter to
be one Of the best, twelve sections,
drawing and smoking rooms, with total
capacity for twenty-eight persons which,
if occupied, would make the expense
SIC per passenger, or 500 for everything
but meals for the ten days. The car
will have two porters but no conductor,
being in charge Of some one designated
10y the party. The tourists have the
choice Of any route, but must return as
they 90. The car will be sidetracked at
Washington and afford greater comfort
and security for effects than would be
enjoyed at any hotel Eight miles of
sidetracking is under construction at
Washington for the accommodation Of
excursion trains. Railroad Offices at
Chicago are deluged with application,
hence would Deadwood improve the OPP
portunity to represent at the event of
the century, at very little expense, ar
rangements must be perfected at once.
The Harrison and Morton club will have
the matter in charge. Persons desirous
Of berths should SO declare at once to +.
| w, Hamilton, secretary. Only one car
| will be taken; and first comes first
served. Deadwood will be reprented
by from fifteen to eighteen at least
leaving only about ten berths for dis
position elsewhere. The entire expense
of the trip will be less than 500 each
person.
The Washington inauguration com
mittee announce that civic and military
organizations, aggregating $4,000 per
sons, have already notified of an inten.
ton to be present.-Times.

An Impressive Funeral.

The funeral Of the late Mrs. Josiah
McKirahan, which was held at the Con-
.gEeWtional church in this place on
ThuTsday OF last week was attended by
a very large number Of the acquaint
ances Of the deceased, Of whom it is
needless to say, all were her friends.
The unusually large procession which
followed her TO the scene of final rest,
furnished an additional link, to the al
ready perfect chain of evidence which
might be presented, indicating the
measure of respect, and esteem in which
the deceased was held in this commun
ity. OF her it may be truly said none
knew her but to love her none spoke of
her but to praise" Uniting with the
church of Bible Christians at the age of
sixteen years, in the state of Ohio, of
which denomination she was consistent
and exemplary member for more than
twenty years, she afterward united with
the Congregational church in this city,
of which church she was member at
the time Of her demise Her suferngs
were both protracted AMI severe
through all Of which she evinced a de-
gree of patience, and cheerful demeanor
which only those of her exceptional
disposition, and mould OF character
manifest in scenes of trial and affliction
The circumstances connected with her
death were of the most sad and sorrow.
ful character: surrounded by her family
Of six children, whose poignant grief was
evidenced by the most unmistakable
manifestations, which only served tc
heighten the acute pangs of the sorrow
ing husband, 1t was scene too pathetic
in character to fifty describe. But in
the depth of their deep grief the inspir.
ing words Of the departed, expressive of
perfect submission to the divine will.
and her firm and unshaken belief in the
higher life awaiting her, afforded a
CLEAN of relief to their strickened hearts
and served to ameliorate to some extent
the pangs Of parting. TO the deceased
death was terrorless, and was accepted
as the inevitable passport to that better
land, for the enjoyment of which, her
pure and unsullied life had so pre-.
eminsntly fitted her.

Gail for Bida.

The Harvey Peak Tin Mining com
pary, through the Rapid Journal. are
calling for bids for running 500 foot
tunnel on the Excelsior mine, near Hill
City, sinking the Cow Boy shaft % feet
deeper, and running 200 foot tunnel at
the Sarah mine near the Eta. This
indicates desire upon the part of the
company to dispel all doubts as to the
extent of the tin deposits, the quality of
which is now universally conceded to
be above the average Of the tin ores
found in any other known locality.

The school exhibition, which, under
the direction of the Misses Johnesse
and Braddock, teachers in the inter
mediate and primary department of the
Custer public schools, was presented at
The court house on Saturday evening,
the 22d inst, was well patronized, and
greatly enjoyed. More than eighty
pupils were represented In the perform
ance, among whom were number
whose correct conception, and brilliant
rendering Of the roles assigned them,
afforded theme for the most favorable
comment. Indeed, it may be consist
emily said of the efforts Of some of these
juvenile performers, who have not yet
entered their teens, that their faultless
personation of character on this occasion
furnished a lesson, which older amateur
performers Of this place might study
with profit. 1t would require more
space than we have at our command, to
make personal mention of the little ones
who acquitted themselves creditablv
upon this occasion, but the mastery
manner in which certain little girls
big sisters beau was entertained, and
the matchless rendition of n quaker
cCurting scene, which were accorded
such loud and prolonged applause, we
can not pass without passing reference,
as nothing approaching the degree Of
perfection reached in their presentation
has ever been witnessed upon Custer
stage. In all its appointments, this en-
tertainment mnst be pronounced the
most pleasing and enjoyable Of any of
its class yet presented for the amuse-
mcnt and editiration of Custer audi
ence, and the lady teachers under whose
able supervision it was produced, de-
serve much credit for its pronounced
success.

RAPID Reioices.

Rapid City is rejoicing oyer the late
order for the removal of the land office
from Deadwood to that place Rapid has
been working long and faithfully with
this object in view, and at one time
with as much assurance Of success IN It's
attainment az they now have, awoke one
fine morning to the bitter realization OF
the fact, that their fondest hopes had
turned to ashes in their grasp.
The Journal bases the cause for re-
moval upon the greater accessibility OF
Rapid to those whose business is with
the land office" while the Deadwood
papers, taking different view, attribute
the change to other causes. The follow
ing communication forwarded TO the
commissioner Of the general land Office,
by the register and receiver of the Dead
wood land office, would seem to indicate
that the removal Of the Office to Rapid
will be necessarily delayed until March

CHEERS FOR FREEMoST.
A, twenty-five minutes past IL o'clock
that grhzled veteran and first candidate
of the Republican party for President,
General John G. Fremont, was escorted
to the platform by sergeant alarms,
and as he caught the eye of the floor and
galleries, he was honored with the first
great burst of applause that had been
given SO far during the morning.
SEA or WAVING FANS.
BY the time Wise and Malone came in
the convention was sea OF waving fans,
and they lost the reception which might
have fallen 10 them had they observed
the rules OF punctuality. Half.past -
and the band, galvanized into life by the
frantic efforts which some of the assistant
secretaries had for some time been making

but a sign from chairman Jones al 1890
brought it TO full stop, and the cOnyen-

soldier, the captain of our armies, who
lies so near 10 death. o Lord, touch him
tenderly by Thy hand. Comfort him by
Thy spirit and restore him 10 the nation
that loves him with all health and with

This reference TO General Sheridan
was followed by a burst of applause
which evidently Jared upon the preach
er's sense of pTopriety, AS evidenced by
the grave expression which stole over his
features as the cheering progressed.
READING THE CALL.
Then the call for the convention was
read in ringing tone by Secretary Fes-
sender. and the references TO the tariff,
to the protection of American labor, TO
the accumulation of the surplus, the de-
mand for free, honest ballot and a fair
count, and the question of the admission
of the Territories were all loudly cheered,
especially that relating to the tariff

The reading concluded, Chairman
Jones read an address. He spoke 20 low
