1t is evidently unsafe for settlers to
enter the Sioux reservation before it is
ceded to the United States. The st.
Paul Globe says: -Four weeks ago a
surveying party went out from Forest
City under escort Of United States
troups, and with Indian police for their
guides. When they reached a point
fifty miles west ofthe Missouri they met
some of the regular wild, blanketed
Indians who live there. They are so
fierce that it was all the troups could do
to save the surveyors from being
harmed by the bloody redkins. Keep
off that reservation till it is ceded to the

Pretended Blindness.

Notwithstanding the CHRoNICLE's re-
peated statements concerning the tin
operations Of the Harney Peak company
in the Hills, in which has been given
the number of men actually employed
IN their mines, aggregating from seven
ty-five to one hundred, the New York
Mining Record has vainly (?) searched
our columns, it so declares, to find out
what is being done of serious, prac-
tical, industrial nature by this company
to mine and mill tin ore, and produce
pig tin in Dakota.
While it is fact that this company
is not yet producing pig til, it is never
theless fact that operations of "seri-
Gus, practical, and industrial nature"
such as have from time to time been
referred to by the CHRONICLE have been,
and are now being prosecuted with that
end in view. If sinking of shafts, and
running tunnels for the purpose Of the
development of their mining properties
is not Of practical and industrial
nature" then pray. what are you pleased
TO call it? And if the disbursement of
a thousand dollars a month for labor
and mine expenses, and thousands Of
dollars for mine machinery, which the
Record knows has been purchased by
the company, is not somewhat serious"
in its nature, then, in the name of the
four jacks, what is it? We can but con.
clude, that should the Record be called
upon to defray the expense which is
being daily incurred by this company,
it would concede the marked serious
ness of its character
If the Record would but base it's
conclusions upon the facts in its posses
sions, ard not seek shelter behind a
wall of pretended ignorance, it might
better inform its readers as to the status
and settled intentions of the first COM
pany organized for the ostensible pur.
pose of mining, milling and manufactur-
ing tin from American mines.

The Geological Report.

OF the many scores of letters received
at the school of mines concerning this
report, none are more satisfactory to
the authorities then the following ex-
tract from one received yesterday:
CARBONATE, Dakota, May 90, 1889.
Frank r. Carpenter, Esq, Rapid City:
DEAR SIR In your
report upon the mineral resources of
the Black Hills, you suggested Cold
creek, Carbonate camp, as a suitable
place to prospect for the, same class OF
ores which they find at Bald Mountain
and Ruby Basin. We are now pros
pecting there and are finding the bodies
Of ore there as you predicted, also ores
carrying more or less galena. Yours
respectfully,
1t is said, also, that a well known
mining man acting upon hint given
in the report investigated the gold de-
posits described by Mr.. Carpenter near
Custer, and that five sacks of ore were
taken out and sampled which returned
over 5000 in free milling gold per ton
1t is pity that this survey cannot be
carried on as it should be, but the sum
of money at the disposal of the school
for this purpose is far too little for
printing the results even, and it is said
to be the smallest sum of money ever
appropriated for such purpose. The
United States geological survey ex-
pends larger sum daily than the school
has had for geological work since its
opening.-Ra Journal.

Tin talk is not now the. exception in
the east as it was few months ago, but
on the contrary. it is the rule in New
York, Chicago, st. Louis and other
prominent eastern cities. The question
of the existence OF tin in the Black
Hills, SO long held in doubt by eastern
capitalists, has at last given place to the
question of its disposition. and men Of
means prominently identified with the
mining and manufacturing industries Of
the country, haying become fully con-
vinced of the wonderful magnitude and
incalcuable importance Of our tin de-
posits, are now seriously considering the
matter of the early establishment of tin
plate works, with a view to supplying
the home demand for this useful pro
duct There is evidently we'll settled
belief in the minds of the masses, that
the question Of the existance of tin in
the Black Hills is no longer chimerical,
but well settled, and incontrovertibIe
fact, and SO Enthusiastically assured as to
cause the local defamer, who formerly
appended his name to his false and
villainous communications, TO withhold
even his initials, and hide his hideous
hand behind the nom de plume of
Occasional Correspondent"
Tin is now being talked with degree
of effect that will soon be felt in this
locality, where it ID known to exist in
untold abundance, and where it is safe
to assert, that at an early day, a number
of heavy syndicates, eager for invest
ment, will be attracted Yes, tin is
being talked, and the talk is most favor
able, and it is but reasonable to con-
clude that it will ere long .culmiaate in
tin operations as extensive i'm character
as the magnitude Of the deposits and
the demand for the product at present
warrants.

tional Sabbath Observance convention

| follows:
Rev. j. w. Hancher, of Rapid City,
president.
Rev. j. b. Pomeroy, Whitewood, sec
retary.
Rev. w. III. Buss, Deadwood, treasur-
er.
The president, secretary and treasurer
constitute an executive committee.
The league starts out with member
ship of thirty one, and the assurance Of
much larger one by the time the
league meets again, which will be in
Deadwood on the last week in July.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed by the convention:
Whereas. The prevalence Of Sabbath
dissertation throughout onr land de-
mands the awakening of the public
mind to the vital Importance of the
proper observance of the American rest
day--the Christian Sabbath. Therefor
be it,
Resolved, That we hail with pleasure
the organization of the Black Hills Sab
bath Observance league, and we rever-
emily invoke the blessings of God upon
the purposes of said league. trusting that
success may crown all the agencies EN-
ployed in the accomplishment Of its
work.
Resolved, That the Sunday question
is vital in its relation to morality and
the development of higher Christian
| character, that the Christian church has
New Testament to observe the Lords
Day that the faithful preaching Of the
gospel of Christ to the conscience of
public opinion; that we respectfully

servance question two or three times, at
| East during each year.
Resolved, That we deplore the read
ing on the Sabbath of newspapers and
current literature containing secular
matter not designed or calculated to
develop Christian character by cutivat-
ing the religious faculties and senti-
ments of man; that we disapprove of
the issuance of Sunday and Monday
morning daily newspapers, necessitating,
as it does, in their publication the per-
formance Of labor on the sabbath
thereby depriving weary toilers Of the
God given day of rest.
Resolved, That the postoffice depart
ment of the United States he petitioned
TO discontinue the transmission Of its
mails and the opening Of its postofiices
on Sunday. as the example of London
and Toronto shows Sunday postal work
to be unnecessary, the telegraph supply.
ing every necessity that railroads, es-
pecially those operating in the west, be
petitioned to cease the running of their
trains on Sunday, except those used for
the transportation Of live stock and per-
ishable property, said plan having been
adopted by the Vanderbilt railway sys-
tenn.
Resolved, That our hearty thanks be
extended to the citizens Of Rapid City
for the generous hospitality they have
manifested in entertaining the delegates
present, and for the interest they have
taken in the proceedings and success Of
the convention.
Resolved, That the newspapers of the
Black Hills be requested to publish the
proceedings and resolutions of this con-

The present status Of the copper trade
is very we'll defined by Mr.. Haggin, one
France to confer with the copper kings
in Paris, who returned without effecting
any satisfactory arrangement regarding
the copper interests, is reported to have
said: "We were unable to come to any
agreement, and have come back to
throw our metal on the market for what
it will bring" About l75,00O tons are
held in London and Paris, and two Of
the most important mines in America
are annually turning out 10000 tons, and
not running at their full capacity. The
prospect is good for cheap copper all the
year round.-Journal Of Commerce.

While the arrangements are not yet
perfected for the celebration of the 4th
of July in this place, the committee as
sures us that the day will be duly cele
brated. The citizens, with trifling ex-
ception, express willingness, and
hearty disposition to subscribe literally
and there is every reason to conclude
that the occasion will be the most
notable, of its character ever witnessed
in this place.

The Fugitives.

George w. Mumford, recently return
ed from trip in the direction Of Okla
homa, reports meeting Doherty and
Wilson, the would-be train robbers, on
the cars south of Kansas City. The men
occupied seat Immediately in front of
Mumford, who recognizing Doherty as a
former employee of Colonel Davey, en-
gagged him in conversation. Doherty
admitted that he was in the Hills years
ago, but not recently. He seemed very
nervous. and with Wilson soon went
into forward car, evidently to avoid
conversation and to be more on his
guard. Mr.. Mumford had never seen
Wilson, consequently did not recognize
him, but from description obtained since
his return, is confident that it was he
who sat with Doherty. The latter wore
a full beard and was coarsely attired.
The wound under the right eye distinct
ly appeared. Mr. Mumford was, at first,
inclined TO attempt capture, but con-
cluded it too dangerous an undertaking.
He promptly notified Sheriff knight,
who, doubtless, has taken steps to APP
prehend the fugitives if possible. Dead

Some travellers say that all the cities of

Our FoR 4 RIDE.

which I have seen are different. Swatow is
the cleanest and Peking the dirtiest l have
during the last month, visited Pekng, Tient-
sin, Shanghai, Chefoo, Foochow, Annoy and
Swatow. They are all big cities, ranging from
half a million to a million in size. and the i'm
mensity of this great Chinese Empire grows
upon me. China has 4000 walled cities. and
the cost of its walls would cover it with rail-
roads as with a net. The walls of each city
are from 30 to so feet high or from the hight Of
two-story to that of four-story house. The
wallsof Marking. which lies little above Shang-
hai are l8 miles long. Peking has between 20
and 80 miles of wall, and the walls of Foo
chow are six miles in circumference Some of
the walls of the Chinese cities have stones piled
up on their ramparts, evidently intended for
defense in case of attack, and on the Shanghai
wall are two old cannon, rusty and out Of re-
pair, facing the sea. These city walls are, in
some cases, so old that they fall down; but
China still builds walled cities, and within the
last decade, the capital of Formosa being
changed, the new city was surrounded by a
wall, as though it were being built in the mid
die ages and not in the days of cannon and
dynamite.
