made to pay more with better manages
ment. 1t is my opinion that the city
should by all means control the works as
there are no means of telling into whose
hands the works might fall and how we
might suffer as consequence.
E. q. Frazer-I am in favor of selling
the works providing it can be done at q
fair price and with proper restrictions as
to rates. should like to see the reserva-
ton of the hydrants free to the city and
some provision made to protect the Or
binary consumer.
Phil MITCHELL have not given the
matter much attention, but should advise
csutious action on this subject. as it is
one of grave Importance. There is a
question as to whether if the works we're
sold, we would not pay In increased and
excessive rates what we now do in taxes.
T. II. Thomas-I would be favorable
to the sale of the works If the right price
can be obtained and the money properly
az piled, but there should be some res trio
tons as to rates for city hydrant use and
private consumption.
Capt. 7. j. Robinson haven't given
the matter any particular attention, but
il the proper precautions can be taken to
guard the people from exorbitant rates,
there might be no objection TO the sale .
j. NJ. Buford-I should like to see the
works sold, providing the city can realize
a proper price and at the same time pros
tect itself by the provisions Of the sale
from extortion either to itself or the gen>
eral public.
j. j. Reimers-Sell the works by all
means. hut get good price and max e
ample provision as to the maximum of
charges for hydrant rent in the future.
David Donaldson-If We can get fair
price for them, l believe it would he d
good plan to sell lhem-that is with
proper restrictions as to rates.
j. X. Johnston-The arguments are
strong ones on both sides of the question.
and circumstances should hav, much to
do with any sale contemplated.
j. M. Montgomery-The city ought to
sell If the proper valuation can be de-
rived, and the city and other consumers
protected.
Aid. B. Winter am in favor of the
sale of the works, if the city can get the
right price and protect itself
Thus it will be seen that there is a
great variance Of opinion and that strong
points are presented both in favor and
In opposition to the sale. Mayor Bland
ing was seen, but declined to give ex
preston TO his views on the subject,
stating that he was endeavoring to ge,
the opinion of others, rather than to give
his own. The Citizens improvement
association meets tonight to consider the
proposed sale in its various aspects.

HIN City Tin.

A correspondent furnishes the Hill
City Tin Miner with the following
concerning the tin mines in that
locality:
"a visit to the Gertie mine will re-
move any doubts that the most skeptical
preson could entertain in regard to the
nonexistance Of tin in paying quantities
I the Southern Hills. 1t lies about one
mile east of the Coats and Cowboy
mines, and has been developed by a
tunnel now in about 275 feet, which is
run in from a deep ravine or gorge,
which cuts rectangularly across the
claim, attaining depth on the face of
Ii etunnel of about 80 feet, and is on
the line Of the ore its whole course,
showing the lode to vary in width from
2 TO 3 feet, and carries about 8 per cent
Of black tin. A good track has been
laid, and the ore is brought out on q
large iron car, and dumped at the mouth
of the r%avine, where it can be easily
loaded on the cars for transportation to
the mills. The ledge which outcrops at
| quite a number of places on the surface
is shown to be a well defined and per-
sistent one, exposing tin bearing gran
itic vein stone, in some places very rich.
| About POI feet from the mouth Of the
tunnel an air shaft has been sunk on the
line of the ore, which shows the lode to
| dip evenly about 450 TO the west, with
well defined walls on each side. Air
| shaft No. 2 has been started and is now
down about 80 feet, and it is here that a
very rich strike has lately been made.
| The lode at this point is seen to be about
| 2 to q feet wide and is immensely rich,
being charged at all points with crystal
lied cassiterite. Some of these crystals
vary from the size of a pea to that of a
plum, and ore througout ought to run
some l00lbs. of black tin TO the ton.
This mine so far has shown itself to be a
high grade one, and doubtless will prove
rich as a lower level is attained. A look
at the ore, now being mined from the
Coats, Cowboy, Gertie, Telegraph, Ad-
die, and numerous other mines scatter
ed around the country cannot fail to
convince one, Of the great future in
store tor the Southern Hills"

Rev. G. G. Timer is going to attempt
to build a Methodist church in Hill City.
Our town needs a church building very
much but we doubt very much the adj
visibility at this time of attempting to
build a UNCONVENTIONAL church. The
Harvey Peak Co. have offered $500. cash
and $500. in lumber toward building a
union church, but will not give anything
toward adenominational church, and We
have heard several express themselves to
the effectt that they would give literally to
a union but not any other. There Is
this trouble about a union church how
ever and that is that there is always q
lack ofleaders who will interest them
selves enough to take hold of the mat.
ter and crowd it through.-Hill City

providing for . term of the United
State supreme court at Deadwood.
Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1889-05-25
dc County CommIsslonera.


The Maryland Repa6lican, Democrat
Of this morning, referring to the pres
ent Board of County Commissioners
and the attempt to behttle their good
work, speaks Of them in the following
truthful and impartial manner 1.-THE
high rate Of taxation Of '8S to cover
the expenses Of 'S7, has been reduced
q cents on the 500. In other words,
every tax payer will have his taxes
lessened about one-fifth; or to put il .
little different, one dollar in every
Ave Of taxes will be saved to him by
tho economy and good management
of the present Board of County Conn
missioners. Instead therefore of cen-
surfing these gentlemen, or endeavor-
ing to detract aught from the COM
mendation to which they are properly
eatilted, it is a fairer and altogether a
more respectable policy, as well as bet
ter principle, to applaud when applause
IL deserved and hold up their good
example for future imitation. The
people have too much at stake to
turn down a good Board of County
Commissioners, or allow them to be
unjustly censured, whatever their poll
ties may be. It is business qualifica
ton that the county needs and that
the people must and will have, The
only thing for democrats to do, if
they want to fight these gentlemen
nthe score Of their politics, is TO see
that names Of men equally as good
are placed upon the democratic ticket,
for the Office of County Commission
ers, which has not always been done
heretofore. To attempt to underrate
or to misrepresent honest and good
officials. who differ with us politically,
is both bad principle and bad politics.
It's highly discreditable and viii help
neither the party nor the individual
who resorts to such unfair methods.
AS democrats we disclaim any such a
policy and will not allow the demo
cratic party to be held accountable
FOR it,
