A Gli,nmer from tho i,onmark.

Capt. Black, of the British steamer
Minnesota. reports that on the ith inst. he
passed n life boat. painted white. with the
words "Danmnrk. Copehagen." in black
letters oil the stern. The sea was rough Mt
the time. III the boat was one oar. three
rowlocks i'll position for usc. and on the
boat hook n tarpnnlin laid along the bot
tom of the boat. which was half full of water.
The painter was covered. In the head sheets
pieces of cigar boxes were also seen i'll the
boat. There was every appearance that
the people who had been aboard had been
taken off.
A representative of Funck Edge & Co.
said that the fact that the Minnesota had
picked up Que of the Danmark's boats bore
out the surmise that tho passengers who
were on the Inflated ship Ind been res
cued. If the passengers have been rescued
and have been taken to the Azores. We
ought to hear from them bv the end of the
week. The passengers may also nave been
picked up by some sailing vessel which
may lpnd them at some port that it would
tnke a long time to reach.
The Atlantic transport line steamer,
Missouri, Capt. Merrill, from London
to Philadelphia. is many days over due.
She is u new vessel. Her non-arrival is
attributed i'll shipping circles to the belief
that she has picked up the 700 passengers
and crew of the Danmnrk and has taken
them to the nearest port. the Azore islands.
In no other way can the absence of the
Mi souri, be satisfactorily explained. She
has only been IL few months atloat, and is
one of hes strongest and most senworthy
vessels OIL the sen. She does not carry
passengers, and. if she pickle I ur the Dam
marks passengers. would make for the
nearest port. as her stock .of provisions
would soon become. exhausted. What
strengthens the belief of many that tine
Missouri has the Danmark's crew and
passengers is that she left London with
the Lord O'Neil, a vessel of not so much
power. The Lord O'Neil reached Phila-
deli hia April 18th, and reported very mod
crate weather throughout the entire PMS
ase Thus it will be seen that the Mis-
senri is not delayed through stres, of
weather. Under ordinary circumstances
she should have arrived fully two days be-
fore tho O'Ncil.

of the night she must attend to their

food enough to keep her alive; and

1t was Cassie who now was self-Pos

betokened one who had voyaged upon

The sunsets crimson light deepened
upon Cassie's cheeks, and in the Cap

ness, "Oh, l only made it up as went

aid she seated him upon
the narrow window sill,
where, we'll pleased with
himself and the world, he
proceeded to discourse on
things in general, to the
Captains terror.
"Uncle Harry bought me
those roses, and l don't
like Narcisse." And with
dancing eyes he added,
We are going to shoot

Narcisse's fame had
reached Cassie's ears.
Poor doggy" said she,
Twas he naughty?"
"Naughty!' cried the
child; "Uncle says he is
wicked. He ate a lovely

So it happened that he
often came, nor could he
be induced to pass Cassie's
box without his childish
gift of fruit or flower, and
while the Captain gravely
kept him under surveil-

slowed avuncular blessings
upon the childish friendship
which gave him an oppor-
tunity to greet and study
the sweet face that daily
smiled upon them from the

time drew nearer when the

The railroad surveying party previ-
ously referred to by the CHRoAicLG,
which has been for several weeks en-
gagged between this place and Hin City,
reached this place on Saturday. The
route extends from this place up French
creek TO Ruby gulch, thence 10 Tender
foot and Hill City, and presumably from
that point TO the Eta mine and Rapid
City, but our reporter pleads ignorance
az TO any definite knowledge of the
route beyond Hill City, nor does be
claim to have determined with any
degree of certainty what particular rail,
road company is making the survey.
Tha. a route has been surveyed into
this place we know, and that Of itself i:
worthy Of note, and we take pleasure in
presenting the pleasing paragraph as q

Hin CIty.

A representative Of the CHRONICLE
visited Hill City on Monday, and re
ports much life and industrial activity
at that place. The development Of the
tin mines in that vicinity is rapidly
progressing, and the outlook for the
ultimate Inauguration of permanent
paying tin operations most encouraging.
Many new buildings have been built,
and numerous others are in course of
construction.
Hotel accommodations, which until
recently were sadly deficient, and a
source Of much inconvenience TO visi-
tors, are o ample, a number Of hotels
and beading houses having been re-
Gently opened, among which the Arm
strong House is deserving of special
mention on accoun Of its excellent ac-
commodations. 1t requires u a brief
s%ojourn in that busting burg to convince
any one OF ordinary penetration that
Hill City is all right.

A Man Missing.

Taylor Ellis, a miner residing near
the Grizzly Bear mine. about ten miles
north of this city, left his cabin for Hot
Springs about three weeks ago, since
which time, so far as can be learned, he
has not been seen. Ellis was about five
feet and ten inches in height, stout
built, and aged about 30 years. He is
well known in this place where he for
merly resided, having been in the en-
ploy of Chris Jensen as stage driver on
the Custer and Buffalo Gap mail route.
He had been complaining of being un-
well for some time, and reported his
intention of going to the Hot Springs to
his cabin mate, James Demereau, where
he expected to find relief from his all
ment. His route 10 Hot Springs would
naturally lead through this place, and
he told Demereau that he was going via
Custer, but as he was not seer here he
must evidently have changed his inten-
ton. Inquiries have been made at Hot
Springs concerning him, and it is known
that he never arrived at that place.
Fears are entertained hat something
serious has happened him, which the
circumstances, as reported, would seem
to warrant.

Dangerous Bridges.

Some time ago the CHRONICLE called
attention to the dilapidated and danger
Gus condition Of the French creek
bridge on the Hot Springs road, and
also the bridge at 0le's ranch, two mi les
from this city on the same road. Up to
this writing nothing whatever has been
done toward repairing either OF them,
and the result is, that farmers living
southeast of this place, of whom there
are many, are compelled TO drive
through a mud hole below the bridge at
Ole's ranch, where it is difficult to pull
through with half a load. and stop and
arrange the loose plank on the bridge
at the crossing Of French creek befor G
undertaking to pass over it. The con-
dition Of these bridges is causing serious
inconvenience to the travelling public,
and especially to the farmers living
upon the line of the road referred to,
to say nothing of the danger incurred in
passing yer the French creek bridge.
We would again call the attention Of
the road supervisor to the Importance
of the early repair of these bridges, and
should he heed not u appeal, we
would strongly recommend the early
removal of the French creek bridge en-
tirely, rs it would only necessitate the
travelling of six miles further, which
would be preferable to the continuance
Of the risks taken in crossing over it.
Either repair it or demolish ii before a
serious accident occurs, which would
necessitate the use of more space in our
columns than We have given 10 this
timely warning

The voters Of Custer county, in the
determination Of their choice for mem
bers of the state legislature, will, we
trust, carefully consider the claims and
qualifications Of Cyrus Cole, than whom
no more worthy or fitting man could be
selected for the position. An old resi-
dent, extensively known throughout
the county, thoroughly identified with
our local interests, conversant with our
wants, energetic and persistent in his
advocacy of just measures, fully con
petent and trustworthy, he is pre-emi-
nently the mar to be chosen as enc of
Custer county's representatives in the
state legislature. Custer ~county's inter
ests will be carefully guarded, and her
claims earnestly and forcibly present ed
in the legislature if Cy Cole should be
chosen as one of her representatives.

Stewart Nominated.

AT the republican senatorial district
convention, held at Buffalo Gap on
Thursday, DIR. A. S. Stewart was nomi
mated on the twelfth ballot, as a caudi-
date TO represent Custer and Fall River
counties in the state senate. This is a
we'll defined instance of the tail wagg.
