promptly anwer Thursday" which is
correct. And SO of any date of last year
Vr the year to come. How he arrives at
the solution he does not know. Numer-
GUS gentlemen of undoubted veracity
have repeatedly tested his strange power.
The little fellow is a bright youngster
but does not exhibit any unusual preco
city beyond this peculiar gift. He says
that beyond the three years-the current
the last and the next-he cannot give
correct answers. Next year he will lost
all power over 1888 with which he is nov
conversanD and his mind will grasp tina
of 1891, of which he now knows nothing

Man in the West.

He Was a Friend of the Indian and Big
Man in the West.
Elijah NJ. Haines, the prominent Lii
noisan, who died recently, was in many
respects remarkable man. lie lived at
Waukegan, suburb of Chicago and the
home Of United States Judge Blodgett
and other prominent Chicagoans Mr..
Haines lived to be over seventy years
old, and his last years were spent as &C
lively as any Of his life. He edited a law
paper, wrote books and was constantly
referred to as authority by justices Of
the peace and township officers in mat
tiers pertaining to their Duties Besides
this he was usually on hand in farmers
conventions and had more or less to do
with politics.
Mr.. Haines' residence in Chicago dates
back to Indian times, when the town
consisted of Fort Dearborn and few
surrounding houses. At this time he
gained knowledge of the Indian, and
took an interest in the friend Of his
youth to the day Of his death. Hewould
entertain a listener by the hour with &C
counts of the habits Of the red man and
his language and its construction, and

Illinois legislature, and three times
speaker of the house. When Loganwas
reelected Senator Haines held the gavel,
and Logan used to say that but for the
speakers remarkable control Of the
members there would undoubtedly have
been trouble.
One Of the features Of age is usually
loss of memory. This rule did not hold
good with Mr.. Haines. He could remem-
Der events which took place when Chi
cago was trading post, and never would
make mistake as to date OF all incl
dent. His remarkable memory showed
itself when relating "reminiscences about
pioneer life in Illinois, and especially his
object of interest, the Indian; and as he
continued to reside in the region where
he first met the red man, he was full OF
information of every decade during the
life Of hatrapidly growing city, Chicago,
Besides his Indian hobby Mr. Haines
was wrapped up in an opposition to cap
ital punishment. During the Anarchist
troubles in Chicago he went to Spring
field to solicit Governor Oglesby to par
don the seven men who had been sen
fenced to be hanged. Having been a
companion in arms Of the governor he
spoke as an old comrade and made an
effective plea, more for his idea than the
condemned men. "I do not come" he
said, representing petitioners, but
come representing sentiment"
Mr.. Haines has SO long been promi'
nent figure in Illinois that he will be
greatly missed, especially by the Older

THE EIFFEL TOWER FRoM IaE oalNh'
the natives of a score of remote islands
in tropical seas At an American OF
English exposition they would see much
ponderous machinery and many articles
Of utility, and at German one the same,
with somewhat finer displays in the line
Of art and music, but in Paris they Will
see enough of these and all the wonders |
Of delicate handwork besides. And in
this last the French centennial Will
doubtless be the greatest show ever pre-
sented on earth.
In articles of delicacy and beauty, in
fine bric-a-brac made by hand, in airy
fabrics, quaint pottery, delicate tracery,
fine embroidery and bijouterie and virtu
generally, the French will present dis
play that is simply wonderful. In writing
on the exposition Of 1857 Moncure d.
Conway called attention and philoso-
phized on the fact that wherever the in
dustry of nation is not forced into
artificial channels by restrictive law,
each people develops an art, an archi-
lecture and a system Of mechanical de-
vices peculiarly it's own; and he ventures
the suggestion that if Americans had
not forced sort of imitation of English
and French manufactures, they would
in no long time have developed native
system far superior to any in Europe.
The patriotic American will be inclined
to insist that good deal of that has
been done anyhow; for there are many
inventions distinctively American, and
even in those industries which have been
imported and naturalized the acute OBJ
server can notice an American "tone" in
the product.
The French have seized on this idea of
inherent race capacities with wonderful
shrewdness. They have really made 1t
the basis principle of their centennial
exhibit, and have provided for its com
plete manifestation. The visitor to Paris
this year will not see France alone, not
Europe alone-he will see the world and
the races Of it-as they are at their own
homes. A tour Of the exposition will be
in very truth "touer du monde" He
will see the Kanaka in his aboriginal hut
and surrounded by his own inventions
for war and chase, the Tonquin man, the
Andaman islander, the Tartar of the
Steppes, the Greek, Turk, Armenian,
Copt and Abyssinian, and more than all
the Algerines and other people Of north
Africa, In whom the French just now
have commercial and territorial in
terest.
He will, however, see great deal that
is distinctively French-the Eiffel tower,
the tallest structure in the world, in
which he may ride at ease to an eleva
ton of 1000 feet; the finest products OF
the most perfect silk looms and the most
brilliant results of hundred years OF
French chemistry in colors. The French
after long years Of experiment, have
wisely abandoned the attempt to equa
England in her peculiar lines; they have
instead, labored to perfect those pro
cesses for which Frenchmen have
natural talent, those in which

a keen eye for colors, quick ap-
probation of slight changes and re-
fined taste in form and detail are essen
tial. In these lines no other nation in
the world can compete with them. 1t is
said that French market woman will
instinctively dispose of her onions, car
rots and caulifowers on market stall
so as to make a very pretty group, and
that French butcher feels q sense Of
real grief if he accidentally cuts up or
disposes his meat in an inartistic way.
The French still show their classic an
cestry in all these things, and in this line
in every manifestation of 1.-THE expo
sition will indeed be wonder.
The United States will excel, of course,
in it's own peculiar fields-wooden and
willow wares, agricultural implements
and labor saving machinery. The tele

wonderful reaper, the cotton gin, the
patent pillow, the spring steel hoe and al
the deft accomplishments in that line
these are Americas specialties. The live
Yankee never applies himself long tx
any toilsome task without thinking {
great deal about some scheme to make i

the Yankee as a sort of sin. The Frencl
highly appreciate American talent i

particulars by telephone:
The fire was first discovered at :45 in
the morning when it had attained such
headway as to render it impossible to

fire is supposed to have originated in
the drying room. The loss is total, with
the exception Of the boiler, roaster and
dust chambers, which are not materially
injured. yhe aggregate loss is estimated
at $4,000 The building was insured
for $4,000. 1t has not been determined
as to whether the works will be rebuilt.
1t was the intention to have made the

edification Of the New York Mining
Record which has expressed desire for

LOOKOUT, Feb. 26, 1889.
/ Editor Custer Chronicle.
DEAR SIR:-I notice in your columns
letter from the Mining Record asking
| for information concerning the Lookout
Mining Company. The Lookout COM
pany own l9 mining claims. They have
a 40-stamp mill run by water power !;
and have just finished grading for 60
more stamps The Lookout, Spread
Eagle and Caroline claims have the
| largest open cuts in ore of any mines in
| the Hills except the Homestake. Work
| has been carried on day and night on
the mines, sinking shafts, and cross
cutting SO as TO open no ore slopes ready
for the l00-stamp mill in the spring.
The mill was run last year until stopped
by ice. The clean ups were good SO far
as the men in the mill could Judge. The
mill has been shut down for time as
the water ditch was uncovered last year,
and was not recovered in the fall, as the
company intend to enlarge 1t so as to
work the 100 stamps this spring. No
one here knows what the company is
stocked for or the amount of the divi-
dends paid. 1t is reported in camp that
the mill is to be started as soon as this
cold snap is over. The main shaft is
now down 200 feet, and the drifts are all
in ore. The secretary, Mr.. Hersey, of
Keene, n. H., can probably give you
information regarding the stock and
dividends.

| The New Mexico Mica company has
started new industry in Denver. AS
with all mica mines the company has a
large amount of mica too small to be cut
into plates, and they propose to utilize
this otherwise waste pr duet by pulver-
izing it on a large scale. The works just
put in operation in Denver, contain
| fifteen Cyclone pulverizers, the pulver-
izer which was selected by Superintend-
ent Sivyer and run by him in the Tin
Mountain mill near Custer. In these
machines are two fans or beaters revol-
wing in opposite directions at the rate of
1000 revolutions minute. The pulver-
ization is chiefly done by the attrition
Of the particles upon each other. A
suction fan draws off the pulverized
mica and discharges it into dust
chamber The feed Of the machine and
the suction Of the fan can be so regulat.
ed as to make the finished product OF
any desired degree Of fineness.
The Denver Times of the 10Th, from
which this is condensed, says: "Ground
mica enters into many Of the articles of
commerce. 1t is one Of the best lubric-
ants known to mechanics In fact
where machinery runs at from 5000 to
1000 revolutions per minute, mica is the
only lubricant that will keep it cool. 1t
is utilized by mixing with OF or water.
The product also enters into the manu-
facture of decorative wall paper and
show cards. 1t is used for marbelizing
iron, lustering painted or calcimined
walls, in fire. proof paints, and will take
any aniline color TO be used in the arts,
such as decorating theatres or scenery.
1t is used for underground conduits, and
for insulating electrical wires, has no
equal"
The report does not state the amount
of finished product these works are ex-
pected to produce, but with fifteen pull
verizers put in at cost of $37 ,00O two
and half story brick mill 32xl25 feet,
it would look as if 100 or more tons a
day could be produced.
This should be a suggestion to our
Custer county friends, who could pro-
duce enough mica as a by-product Of
their very superior mica mines and their
tin mines, to fresco the canopy of heaven
every year with a new design. Mica ?
They have billions of it down there.
They eat, drink and breathe it. 1t is as
abundant as the air and more plenty
than water. Possibly with all the uses
named and new uses to be discovered,
the Obstetrics will find ground mica to
be the lubricant they need to set their
tin mills into operation. Undoubtedly
the Southern Hills and the Niger Hill
country have the tin mines and the mica
schsts. Let capital and superior
mechanical ability be combined to solve
the problem Of their separation and the
utilization of both, and prosperity will
come like a chinook over the patient
walters in the tin districts. Dead dwood

Promising Placers.

The field If operations occupied by
the Buckeye Placer Mining company is
located on Iron creek, branch Of the
Little Spearfish, about fifteen miles from
this city. The waters of Iron creek sink
away on the subsidence Of the spring
floods. and leave the creek dry gravel
bed. Auriferous gold is found in this
dry bed, but for lack of water, work
cannot 60 on through the summer
months. To obviate this difficulty the
company constructed ditch and flume
nine miles in length, seven miles O.
which is hume, from the Little Spearfsf
to the placers Of Iron creek. The cos
Of this work was nearly $4,000. The
season was so far advanced before the
completion of the ditch that sluicina
had been going on only one week when
cold weather shut down the work before

known, however, that the gravel is
rich in coarse scale gold, and the com.
