forward lately and are already bearing
fruit. The tin deposits are among the
Iichest in the world. There is no longer
room for doubt. Development as yet
has only touched these wonderful de-
posts with the tip of its little finger.
So, too, as to the other varied mineral
resources. With its cattle and other
agricultural interests and possibilities
the Black Hills region is one of the
most promising in the west. 1t is just
the kind of q country that Sioux likes
to do business with.
Commenting upon the probability OF
more intimate relations being establish
ed in the future between Sioux City and
the Black Hills, the Journal says:
Sioux City and the Black Hills coun-
try will come into more intimate rela-
tons during 1889 than ever before.
This is insured by the completion of the
railroad bridge and the perfection of
railroad connections westward. Sioux
City and the Black Hills country are
natural allies, and the day Of unimpeded
communication between them has long
been looked for with anxious solicitude.
That day has cone. 1t has come late
in 1888 and the full realization of its
will be experienced during
1889.

Custer Crauks.

The St. Paul Globes special CORE
spondent at Rapid City, writing under
date Of December 2Sth, says:
A new set Of cranks have come to the
front and forced for themselves recogni-
ton. They are residents of Custer coun-
ty, and argue that the opening of the
reservation is calculated to wholly boom
Rapid City, and they are consequently
opposed to it. Their opposition is based
on the fact that the northern boundary
of the permanent reservation begins at
the confluence of Battle and Cheyenne
rivers, and extends easterly TO the con
fluence of P%orcupine creek and White
river. The Custer county cranks want
the boundary to follow the bend Of the
White river, which ONE up from the
south and takes its e~asterly course at
the point mentioned. The claim is the
boundaries were arranged as proposed
by the bill for the sole benefit OF Rapid
City and against Buffalo Gap, The facts
are, the map used at the last session of
congress by Messrs. kleiner and King
was prepared by Samuel Scott, of this
city, and the boundaries were exactly
what the Buffalo Gap people want. No
amount of effort could induce the In
dian representatives to consent to the
cession of the land between White and
Cheyenne rivers, except as indicated
above, as the boundary was established
and the limit fixed ut the mouth Of
Battle river. But the Obstetrics are hot,
and a public meeting at Buffalo Gap last
week denounced the action of the Rapid
City representative at Washington. A.
ID. Clark, who will represent Custer
county at Bismarck next month will be
found opposing anything in favor of
Rapid City as a way of getting even.
Those people may learn some day, how
ever, that their worst enemies are in
their own ranks.
In making the effort to extend the
opening boundaries Of the Sioux reser-
walton to White river, the citizens of
Custer and Fall River counties are doing
precisely what Rapid citizens would do
under similar circumstances It was
supposed when this important move in
the interest of the two counties named,
was inaugurated that local opposition to
a scheme of such vital importance would
not arise. If the writer has presented a
true reflex of the sentiment of Rapid
City, no further proof is required for the
statement complained Of, that their
efforts to open the reservation, under
present prescribed boundaries, are
largely based upon selfish motives. The
writer, whoever he may be, will not be
accepted as an oracle by Custer county
readers, and the effort being made to
attain the important end will be pushed
with as much vigor and confidence as if
he had not attempted to air his knowl
edge of a subject, with which the aver
age CHRONICLE reader is corresponding
ly familiar.

Canada will be in the situation Of Da-
koto one Of these days. 1t will want to
get into the union-into the great re-
public of American states. Just now,
touching the subject Of annexation, it is
just as well to await the growth of pub
lie sentiment anu popular desire over
the border. The United States is worth
more to Canada than Canada is to the
United States, and the United States can
afford to abide in patience the growth
Of desire over the border. In the mean
while, the United States has plenty else
to do. For n thing it has the two Da-
kotas to set up in housekeeping Sioux

4 Chamberlain special says: IS. +.
Lucas, of Castalia, is spending his Christ
mas with his parents, Capt. and Mrs.
Lucas. He reports that the "geyser'
burning hill, in Charles Mix county, is
a veritable phenomenon. He says the
report of an eruption is erroneous
none has occurred as yet. But a rum
bling, roaring noise occurs at intervals
and smoke eXUdes from the ground over
an area of several rods square that the
surface Of the ground is so hot that per-
sons cannot walk over it without burn
ing their shoes; that excavations made
where the smoke IN through the
ground disclose a very moist condition
o fthe soil. At night a phosphorescent
light can be seen for a long distance.
Many visitors have been there ard
specimens Of different soils have been
obtained with a view of finding some
body who car give a guess as to the
cause, etc. Taken altogether it is surely
q strange condition of affairs to be found
in Dakota. The location is near the
mouth of Pease creek, on the east bank
of the Missouri river. An Irishman, on
whose claim the burning Hill is located,
is of the opinion that hell is located very
near there"

The Legislature.

The legislature convenes at Bismarck
on the Sth of January at noon, and ad-
%journs on the 8th Of March at midnight,
provided that a little scheme now work
ing in Dakota does not materialize.
This proposed scheme is to meet reg
ularly, do a little business and then ad.
journ to meet again some time after the
4th of March. A republican governor
will then have been appointed, and
there won't be any bother about the
confirmation of Territorial officers named
by the executive. The territory is en-
titled to sixty days legislative session
and no more.
The Black Hills contingent will prob
ably start for Bismarck the first of next
week at latest. They want to be on the
ground and see the lay ofthe land as the
fight for the speakership Of the lower
house promises to be a bitter one

A Hopeless Case.

The following Washington special TO
the st. Paul Globe depicts a hopeless
outlook for the early opening of the
Sioux reservation
1t would not be fair TO longer hold out
hope for the opening Of the Sioux reser-
walton during the present session of
congress. 1t is a mistake to raise money
for the expenses of persons to come here
and lobby for the bill. | was talking
with an old member this evening, who
said: Il have seen many a lobby here
working for legislation of this sort, but |
never knew one To make less Roadway.
There Is no system in their work. There
seems to be no head to their %organiza-
ton. They cross each other too often.
There are III .OO0,0 900 acres of land to be
opened. That means $ll 100000 for the
land, and about $2ll 100000 to be made
out OF it by the people who are ready to
jump in with their speculations"
do members on the floor look at it
that way?"
We'll, let it come up for debate this
winter, and you will find Barnes. OF
Georgia: Hooker, of Mississippi; Pay
son, Holman and others expressing
their opinions quite freely on the sub
ject. Some members look upon it as d
twin infamy with the Oklahoma bill"
After writing and working in behali
of this measure for several years, it i,
not pleasant to record such facts, but
they exist, and the people should know
them. There is no show for the open,
ing of the reservation. The bill will MOI
pass the house, although Chairman Pee.
is warmly in favor of {. But in the sen,
ate, Chairman Dawes is opposed to it
unalterably. The efforts which have
been made to seduce members Of his
committee from their allegiance to Dave,
will prove to be abortive when the tes'
comes. The bill cannot be passed this
session.
