most confused mass of negro household treasures and the way we transferred them to the wharf wasn't quite SO slow ceremonious as the red tape proceedings at Washington. Feather beds, bedding, bags and bundles, were sent hustling up into the air. and fell upon the heads of the negroes grouped upon the wharf; and such pushing and struggling, and pulling and scrambling to each get possession of his own l saw. One of the feather beds burst and the contents came down in a shower over all the company.

No Concern of His.
Exchange.


 Discipline shipboard Is of necessity strict but in some respects less than formerly for many improvements which add to the comfort of the sailors have been introduced upon modern vessels In illustration of this change, General Dumont marine inspector for the United States government was recently entertaining group of passengers on board Lake Superior steamship with certain incidents from his own early experience in the merchant service. The general, although now nearly sixty years of age, is genial gentleman of commanding presence and withal charming rdcOHteur.
 At one time, when lad of sixteen, he was on a sailing vessel rounding Cape Horn. The weather was intensely cold, gale was blowing, and every thing on the deck was coated with ice.
 The sailors suffered severely from chilled fingers their hands were so benumbed that they could with difficulty haul the cordage. Our young mariner thought that he would improve his own condition & little by putting on pair of Mexican gloves which he had purchased at Vera Cruz. He had scarcely done so when the captain coming forward fastened contemptOus glance on his hand gear and said, sharply:
 "Here, you, of with those gloves! Do you think you can be & sailor and baby yourself like that?"
 The gloves came of, and never went on again
 On another occasion, during period of unusually bitter weather, when the deck was a mass of ice, and every line frozen stiff iron young Dumont ventured to ask the mate, with whom he chanced to be on good terms, if his feet never got cold.
 With look of Spartan indifference to so purely personal a consideration the old sailor replied
 "Oh, we'll, yes, l suppose they do get cold some times but that's none O my business!"
 When pilot-ho were first talked of, one of these sturdy "old- timer" captains said
 "A pilot house! Nonesense! You baby lem an give lem pilot house, an the next thing they'll want Is a stove in it There ain't any in maxim pilots 80 tender. 'Taint & pilots business to think of the cold !"
 Yet it is through just such stern discipline in their younger years that many of the best officials whom the government has ever had have come into the public service.

Four Mile.

The news which reaches us concern
ing the operations now being conducted
by r. b. Moss upon the gold properties
at Four Mile is very fattering. The
Gold Star mill, which was started up
with five stamps on Friday of last week,
is now running twenty, its full capacity,
and with results said to be entirely
favorable to its continuance The work
ing force has been increased to II men,
and will, it is said, be further increased
to 80, in few days when the stamps at
the Loranger mill are put in operation,
in accordance with the present inten-
ton. The crushing capacity of the
mills, when in full operation will be SO
tons per day. which, if continued as
there is every reason to believe, it will
have the effect of materially increasing
the gold product of the Southern Hills
for the present year. The practical
methods adopted in the mana cement OF
Mr.. Moss, differing essentially from the
methods adopted in the past, have in
spired general confidence in the success.
full result Of present operations.
We are informed that in the event OF
satisfactory results being reached, the
mill will be removed from its presen,
location to point near the mine, which
will save the expense of hauling the ore
and add considerably to the margin OF
profit resulting from its reduction.

Coal and Oil Fields.

Our advices from the coal and oil
fields indicate increased activity in that
much mentioned locality, The new saw
mill Of Fitzpatrick Bros. & Collins, with
a cutting capacity of 10000 feet per day
is running steadily, furnishing employ
ment for 25 or 80 men. The class of
lumber being sawed is such as will be
required to meet the growing demands
of that locality for building purposes
A shingle mill in connection with the
saw mill is turning ont shingles at 9
rapid rate.
At the coal camp headquarters, now
quantity denominated Mt. Zion ranch
new building is being constructed tc
serve the purpose Of boarding house
with seating capacity sufficient to ac.
commodate 40 or 80 men, who are soon
to be employed at the coal mines. The
company office is also being fitted up
and furnished at this place in manner
commensurate with the prospective
magnitude Of the business to be con-

A Splendid Idea.

The idea has been suggested that some
plan should be adopted whereby the
road that connects Hermosa with the
old Chamberlain road can be made
passable. There will, no doubt, be con-
siderable travel to the Wyoming coal
and oil fields this season, and with a
small expenditure Of money the road
could be put in such condition as
would invite travel. Bv coming direct
to Hermosa from Chamberlain and
going on west-should they so desire
by way of Custer rs or 100 miles can be
saved over any other route. We under
stand that the citizens Of Custer will
gladly assist, in a financial manner. in
putting the road in good condition, and
now that some interest is manifested in
the matter we hope that something will
be done at once. If the immense travel
that is certain Of crossing the reserva-
ton can be turned in this direction it
will be OF untold benefit to this locality.
-HermoSa Pilot.
The idea is a good one, and the
CHRONICLE is strongly in favor Of its
adoption. r. re is every reason to be-
lieve that heavy immigration will set
in at no distant day for the oil and coal
fields Of eastern Wyoming, and that the
route from Chamberlain will be selected
by large number as beng the most
favorable is comparatively certain. 1t
would require but trifling outlay to
construct road from a point on the
Cheyenne river where the Hermosa
road intersects il to the the old Cham
berlain and Rapid freight road, and thus
establish direct route from Chamber
lain to the coal and oil fields via Her
mosa and Custer, which would be worth
many times its cost in the benefits to be
derived from the increased travel
through the points named.
The attention Of the business men OF
Custer is called to the importance OF
giving this important matter their early
attention.

Two Hundred.

The subioined New York special OF
March 29th to the Chicago Inter-Ocean
indicates two hundred, and not two thou
sand as previously stated, to be the
number of men employed upon the tin
properties Of the Harvey Peak company:
New York, March 29.-Further par
ticulars are at hand respecting the Har-
ney Peak Tin Mining company which
has recently been incorporated with a
capital of $l5,000,000, Samuel Inter
meyer, president. An account of the
discovery Of the TIN mines in Dakota
and the inception Of the scheme has al
ready appeared. Mr.. Untermeyer said
tonight that the company would have
working capital Of 81 100000. The OBJ
ject of the company of which Lord
Thurlow, III. Seton Kerr, NJ. p, John
Taylor, and other eminent English
capitalists are directors, is simply to
open up mines and construct mills. Mr..
Untermeyer has succeeded in selling
! $4 100000 ri stock in England SO that
$ll 100000 is still held in the United
States. 1t is expected that the COM
panys mills will in twelve months be
turning out 800 tons of ore day and
| employing 200 men. The property
takes in over 100 mining claims and
covers an acreage Of sixty. Mr.. Inter
meyer declared that the company could
not have undertaken this great enter
prise but for belief in the protective
policy Of the government. At present
the United States, he said, produced no
tin although it consumed over one-third
of the worlds product.
Since the above was placed in tppe, a
further interview with Mr.. Untermeyer,
appearing in the New York Press of
March 3Oth, has reached this Office. In
this interview Mr. Untermeyer is re-
ported as having stated that the COM
pany will probably employ 1000 or 5000
men, which, taking into consideration
that the estimate was based on the num-
Der Of men that will be required one
year hence, it is very probable that a
mistake has been made in representing
the number at 200, when it should have
been 1000.
