Coal and Oil Fields.

From Mr. j. $. Peltz, who came in on
Monday from the new town of Fields,
on Salt creek, Wyoming, thirty
miles west of this place, we learn that a
steady progress is maintained in the
development of the prime resources of
that region. Fitzpatrick Bros. K Collins
are constantly increasing the working
force on their extensive coal deposits.
and also upon their oil claims. The
town of Fields is having a steady, if not
a rapid growth. A clothing store and
another saloon has been added to the
place in the past few days, and church,
hardware store, and dry goods estab-
lishment will be opened in few davs.
This town is believed to be located
within three miles Of the site upon
which will be built the future great
city Of the region, under the supervision
and by the special consent Of the b. &
NJ. Railroad company, an advantage
held over other towns in that region
inasmuch as it is the nearest available
townsite, and will have but a short
distance to move its buildings when the
boom bursts forth at the coming rail
road metropolis. 1t is believed that

Professor Henry Zahn.

The gentleman whose name heads
this article arrived in Rapid City last
Sunday morning from Chicago. He
comes here III the interest of the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy railroad
and will remain in the Black Hills
country for from six weeks to two
months. During his stay he will make
a thorough examination of the mineral
resources of the Hills, and also make an
exhaustive report upon the same. Pro-
fessor Iahn was the promoter of the
reduction works scneme at Peublo,
Colorado and the man who first made
the coking of Colorado and Wyoming
coal success. He is an acknowledged
authority on the coking of coal In
regard TO the coal found on the west
side Of the Hills, Mr.. Zahn says it is as
fine as any which he has examined
from either Colorado or Wyoming, and
he believes that it can be successfully
coked. He also says that the tests
which have been made by different
parties who have experimental on this
coal have been made in such small
quantities and with such imperfect ap-
paratus that they are Of no value in de
termining its coking qualities. 1t is his
intention to test them in large quantities
and in especially prepared furnaces
once settled the question of the pro-
duCtiOn Of coke from home coal SO that
it can be bought here at from So to 81 a
ton, instead of $35 ton--its cost laid
down here at present-means the sue
cessful working Of the low grade silver
ores of the Galena, Carbonate and other
districts of the Hills, which anyone can
plainly see will be Of immense benefit
to the entire country. Under such a
condition those ores which are now sent
to Omaha and other outside places for
reduction, could be treated at home for
about the amount of money paid for
their transportation. Mr. Zahn's long
association with smelling enterprises
and experience in the treatment of ores,
and the confidence reposed in him by
those in whose employ he has been for
years, will tend to make his report on
the mineral resources of the country
one of great value.-Rapid Journal.

The election of delegates TO the con
stitutional convention is near at hand !:
Tuesday next and it is evident that a
very moderate degree of interest will be
manifested at this place, in the result
1t would seem to be of unquestionable
importance, at this time, when a ques-
llOn Of such paramount interest to the
state as the acceptance or rejection of
the Sioux Falls constitution is being
submitted that full vote be polled
This matter is important in many re-
spects among others its importance as
means of obtaining the qualified ex-
preston of a majority of the people Of
the new state upon the question at is
sue is most desirable, and an earnest
effort should be put forth to reach this
desirable end. 1t is TO be devoutly
hoped that during the very few days
intervening between now and the day
of election higher degree of enthusi-
asm in this direction may be awakened,
and that the vote of Custer county may
reach an aggregate commensurate with
its voting population. Every voter
should be represented at the polls on
Tuesday, and among other important
considerations, that of Custer county's
representation in the convention by a
resident delegate, a matter of much
moment, should be given the attention
its Importance deserves.

Petty Spite.

The Buffalo Gap News, commenting
upon the candidates nominated at that
place for delegates TO the constitutional
convention bv the democrats on the lst
inst, gives that party credit for having
made a wise selection in the nomination
of c. l.. Wood, of Rapid, while on the
other hand in the nomination of 5. Nj.
Booth, of this place, it claims they made
a very unwise selection. The News
trumps up n few groundless charges
against Mr.. Booth, stating, in substance,
that he is chronic office seeker that as
delegate to the constitutional conven-
tion four years ago, he misrepresented
Custer and Fall River counties by al
lowing the two counties, with 1000
population, to be made into one district,
while Butte county, with half the popu-
lation, was made a legislative district by
itself
OF these charges it is unnecessary to
speak they simply refute themselves.
No one acquainted with Mr.. Booth, and
familiar with the fact of his long resi-
dence in this county, and of his every
interest being centered here. can, for a
moment, believe that he would not use
every means in his power to further the
county's interests, under any and all
circumstances. 1t is therefore IDLE TOR
the News, for the purpose Of gratifying
Il personal spite, to attempt to make
such empty charges effective, and unless
We are very much mistaken the scatter
ing readers of that ever changing sheet
will readily understand the animus that
inspired them, and unite with others in
doing all that can be done toward secur-
inga resident representative from Custer
county at the constitutional convention,
which, under the circumstances can
only be done by electing s. NJ. Booth as
one of the delegates.
We desire that it should be we'll un-
derstood that the CHRONICLE does not
urge the support of Mr.. Booth on the
grounds of party afliliation or personal
preference, but solely for the reason,
that in his election only can Custer
county be represented by resident
delegate while his defeat would give
to Pennington county two resident
delegates, a result which, however much
that county may desire to reach, should
be strenuously opposed by the voters of
Custer county at large.
To many 1t may appear strange, and
fairly unaccountable that Custer coun-
ty paper should work for representation
for another county in preference to its
own, but to those who understand the
situation the proposition is simple, and
readily understood The News is a
model of It's kind ii is only Of the kind
that complaint can he made.

very rich pacers were recently discov-
cred, and to which stampede of no
mean proportions has set in from all
parts of the Hills. The precise locality
is not stated except that it is few miles
from the south fork of Castle, nearest
water. 1t is said that $50 day is rock
ed out, prospectors carrying the dirt,
and working under many disadvantages.
The locality has never been more than
specifically prospected, and much
credence is given the reports. Other

the head of Jefferson gulch that are the
richest ever found in Montana, Welding
from $25 to $50 pan, and upward.
Jefferson creek, which runs through the
gulch, empties into Nevada creek, and
from Avon, nearest railroad point, is

Meade County Election.

The election in Meade county on
Tuesday, as indicated by the returns
from all but four precincts, resulted in
the election of democratic treasurer,
and perhaps sheriff, register, and one
commissioner. Sturgis has a probable
majority over Tilford Of 500 for the
location Of the county seat. About 900
votes were cast in the county, Sturgis
polling 4S4, number surprisingly large
considering the fact Of Deadwood poll
ing only 420 at an election held on the
same day.

Fields will advance rapidly, and grow
into place of considerable importance
before the railroad town is laid out.
The grading force on the railroad has
not vet been increased, bat it is consid-
cred fairly certain that it will be early
in June. if not before. The reason for
decreasing the grading force on this line,
which many supposed was on account of
depleted company treasury, is not now
entertained 1t is now generally be-
lieved that the grading force was de-
creased for the reason that in case of
the full force having been retained the
work north of Crawford would have
cuts south of that place could possibly
be completed, and that it was with a
view to having all sections of the line
ready for the iron at a uniform time
that the force was decreased 1t is
apparent that there could be nothing
gained by completing the line north of
Crawford two or three months prior to
the completion of the heavy cuts re
ferred to- upon which only limited
number of men can work, and which in
its completion, necesstates certain
period of time, which cannot by any
possibility be abbreviated. From the
most reliable information attainable,
we are inclined to the opinion that the
road will be in operation to the coal
camp before the close of the present
year.

From r. III. Long, Of the Glenda

From +. II. Long, Of the Glendale
company. who came down from the
mines Of that corporation Monday even
ing, it is learned that work OH the prop.
erty is progressing in very satisfactory
manner. Arrangements are now pend.
ing for the erection of tin mill with a
capacity of from fifty to seyenty-five
tons per day. Contracts for the ma
chinery will be let in few days, and
the mill running within ninety days.
The motive power will be water. The
company's fiume is nearly completed,
and will have a hundred foot head at
the mill. 1t is also the intention Of the
company to put a large force of men at
work shortly on the placer ground own
ed by it.-Rapd Journal, 8.

Sponge the Horses Shoulders.

At this season Of the year, when
farmers horses are put at hard work
after a winter of comparative rest,
their shoulders are very liable to gall.
| went some distance to a farmers to
learn why his horses were never af-
fiicted in that way, although he is
noted for working his team severely.
Proceeding to the stable, | had no
occasion TO ask the question. The
team had just returned from the field
and the farmer was engaged at one
and his man at the other sponging
their shoulders with cold water. This
is done every time they come into the
stable after hard work, and freedom
from shoulder abrasions, and conse-
quent comfort Of the animals, is the
natural result. When farm horses
come in from labor, in the spring es-
pecially, it may be observed that they
try to rub first one shoulder and then
the other against the stall. The wear
at this point causes the animal to feel
exceedingly uncomfortable, and hui
name men will not withhold from
them the cooling, soothing influence
of a little cold water.-Er.

How to Deal with Diphtheria.

A committee of the Massachusetts,
Medical Society appointed to confer
with the State board Of health relative
to diphtheria officially recommends
that the society, both collectively and
individually, should foster as far as
they can proper sentiment in the
community as to the contagious ma
ture of the disease, and more especi-
ally should encourage its earliest
possible recognition and report to the
board of health in each individual
case. By these methods a public
sentiment will sooner or later be
created justifying and requiring from
the proper authorities a suitable,
separate hospital for the treatment Of
infectious and contagious diseases,
such, for instance, rs are required by
law in England, with ample means for
support, and over which there shall
be absolute authority, as already ex-
lists over the hospital for smallpox.
In the absence of these necessary
facilities for thorough isolation it is
impossible to exercise efficient control
over the various dangerous diseases
that from time to time become cpl
demic in the city, and which have
gained permanent foothold here.
