MASSIVE TIN SAMPLES,

Custer county will be represented at
the Paris Exposition by the rich est and
most massive samples Of tin ore ever
exhibited to the admiring gaze Of
humanity since the world began, two Of
which, taken from the Darwin lode, FIVE
miles northwest Of this city, in Custer
county, have an estimated weight of
over two tons each. These samples,
with others taken from the various
mines of the Harvey Peak company,
will be sent to Paris at an early day, to
be placed on exhibition at the sxposi
ton now being held at that city. Moth
ing approaching these samples in quality
has ever been exhibited anywhere, and
it is scarcely possible to correctly es-
innate the value Of this exhibit as an
advertisement of this important resource
Of the Black Hills. We are informed
that Mr.. James Wilson, who should
rightfully be denominated the Tin King
Of America, will attend the exposition
in person, and call public attention to
the marvellous exhibit in his charge.

The returns from Pennington and Fall

quent upon the prostration of wire be-
tween this place and Hot Springs, and
lack of promptness in reporting returns

Mining N otes.

Work upon the company boarding
house on the Tin Reef group Of mines,
near this city, is rapidly progressing,
with probability Of having the build
ing, the finest yet erected by the Har-
ney Peak company upon any of their
mines, completed before the close of the
coming week Whatever may be said
as to the transportation Of ores from
other mines to Hill City for reduction,
it is very evident that the ores from this
group will not be taken to that place for
reduction. The distance, 10 miles, and
the unfavorable location upon the south
ern slope Of the mountain range living
between the points, being sufficient
guarantee of there being no such inten-
ton contemplated upon the part of the
company. 1t is generally believed, and
there are good and sufficient reasons for
the belief, that the ore from this excep-
tionally promising group will be re-
duced at a point on French creek. a
short distance below this city, where it
is believed the company will at some
time in the future erect a large plant.
This belief is due to the fact of the
company having already secured options
upon extensive tracts Of placer ground
in the locality named.
The Moss gold mill at Four Mile, is
again dropping it's stamps after having
been temporarily shut down for the
purpose of cleaning up, and making
certain trifling repairs. The cleanup is
reported as being entirely satisfactory,
and it is reported to be the intention of
Mr. Moss to put in ten additional stamps
in the future, making twenty in all.
Mr.. Moss speaks very encouragingly of
the prospects for continued operation at
the old camp which has for so long a
period remained dormant, and which
now gives abundant promise, under
greatly improved management, to yield
a handsome margin Of profit in its oper.

Washburn Guiturs.

No better evidence as to the superiority of
the Washburn guitars over all other makes
could be required than the enormous de-
mand for these elegant instruments. The
ready sale of the Washburns has surpassed
the most sanguine expectations of the manu-
facturer, and it is only with the greatest eff
fort that the supply can be kept up with the
demand. In view of this fact Fl. Kleber &
Bro, who are the exclusive agents for the
Washburn instruments, a few months ago
placed an order for 100 guitars. This lot has
Just been received, and can be seen at KIe-
ber's Music Store, No. 5O6 Wood street.
The scale of the Washburn, from the
smallest three-quarter to that of the grand
concert size, is guaranteed absolutely cor
rect. The manufacturers deeming this of
great importance, being the foundation of
the whole instrument, have perfected at
much expense and labor an invention where
by the scale oil every one is made an exact
duplicate of its predecessor, no variation or
exception being possible. The neck, also
an important feature, is constructed upon
the same plan and is identical, one with
another, and made after such perfect model
that all possess that pleasant feeling in the
hands of performer so much desired. The
tone of the Washburn is rich, full and mel
low, at the same time powerful without
harshness. The finish is the finest of French
polish, being brilliant and lasting, the inlay
ing rich and elegant.
As the Washburn guitars are made in 25
different styles, all tastes can easily be
suited; the low prices bring them within
the reach OF everybody. Special rates TO
clubs and to the profession.

Said a man, speaking of long and e1-
citing political contest in which he was
specially concerned: 81 could not have en-
dured it if everything had not been all right
at home" In that home was a wife who,
during those trying weeks, gave herself en-
tirely to this one work. No matter at what
irregular hours her husband came home she
met him uuquestioningly with warm, sub
stantial meals and with every attention to
his comfort. She held herself ready to enter
sympathizingly and heartily into everything
he chose to tell her concerning the cam
paign, and if his mood was a silent one she
held her peace and attended to his needs.
Halt of her effort and self-sacrifce, no doubt,
he never noticed or appreciated, but it sur
rounded him with such an atmosphere of
comfort and peace that, however trying the
dav, he felt that he had haven of refuge.
Above all he felt that he could bear defeat.
1t is this feeling of ability to bear defeat
which must be carried into business and
politics before they are kept pure. The
man who feels that life and happiness de-
pend on his success is not apt to hesitate
long before he adopts dishonest means to
that end.

DEARER EVERY DAY.

They said would cease to love her
When her freshness showed decay:
They were wrong, for as the river
Wears its channel more away,
Deeper grew my love, and clearer
Seemed her beauties in display.
She grew older, she grew dearer-
Dearer every day.
Had loved her for her beauty,
Had her heart been simply clay,
Then might mine have ceased its worship;
But her truths resplendent ray
Filled my soul and drew me nearer
To the fount where sweetness lay.
Still the older, still the dearer-
Dearer every day.
Age has laid its hand upon her
De realize it? Nay.
Her youths bloom my heart rememberB-
Years her faithfulness portray,
And it shall be mine to cheer her,
So her winter shall be May.
Still the older, still the dearer-
Dearer every day.

There's rich man over in England whose
home is in Connecticut: he can't return to it
and still he is no fugitive from justice. He
went to Albion's isle several years ago, but
was so sick that he came near dying
before the ocean was crossed. He firm
ly believes he will die if he attempts to
recross the ocean, and yet ne is miserable in
his new home where he has been placed by
force OF circumstances. He has sent for his
family and now transacts his business by
cablegram or letter.
DR.. Lee met this poor miserable American
exile and had long talk with him. He is
waiting for somebody to build railroad
across the ocean on a bridge supported by
balloons.

Small Acquaintance Among Poets.

This is prosaic age, for fact. Few
comparatively write poetry and as few read it.
The village paper no longer has its poets
corner, and the young poet finds it as hard
to get his rhymes in print as to write them.
If there is any American poet of the pres
ent generation who has national or even
State fame the writer cannot name him.
