II Don't Prohibit.

Notwithstanding the fact of the VIII
son bill having been passed and signed by
the president, and the further fact of the
0. p. houses being closed in Custer, a
drunken man Is no uncommon sight
on our streets. south Dakota's most
stringent prohibitory law may now be
said to be in full force and effect, and
yet men may be daily seen drinking con-
traband whiskey, of the vilest possible
character, In our back alleys. And
Custer is no exception to the rule, the
situation is practically the same through
ont the state. The following. taken from
the Yankton Press, very emph atically
indicates the situation in that place,
which will doubtless apply to large
majority, IL not all Of the cities and
towns of the state:
A rather peculiar sight met the gaze
Of people on Third street last evening
Two men were passing down that
thoroughfare, and one Of them was
"drunker'n bile OWL" His feet pos
itively refused to stay under his body,
and his hands hung like dishrags. He
spent part OF the time on the sidewalk,
part in the cutters, and the remainder In
trying to oscillate from gutter to side
walk. And yet there is not an original
package place in town

Asia until the industry could get on it's
feet in the Black Hills, would result in
tn employment of sufficient number
OF skilled laborers at the very gates
o. Nebraska TO consume many millions
OF Nebraska products every year. We
send abroad annually $30,000,0O0 for
sin-ware usually, all of which would be
expended near the Nebraska line or i'm
side our state If We made our own tin.
There is abundant material, all that is
required is the assurance of adequate
protection, and the Black Hills will
swarm with an immigration that will
depend on the farmers of the north
west for bread, beef and pork. At pre-
sent not sheet of tin is manufactured
In the United States, though we have
mountains of iron and plenty of tin
within our limits. But "facts are dis
tasteful"--to democrats.

Mining Items

The headquarters Of contractors
Fitzgerald Bros. has recently been locat-
ed at this place, to remain until their
contract has been completed, which
means the completion of the road to
Deadwood.
Capt. Thos. Davis, of the Buckeye
Mining company came in from Penn
sylvania Monday. Mr.. Davis reports
the Black Hills Tin interests attracting
a good deal of attention throughout the
east, largely through the prominence
given the subject by Mr.. Moody ia the
tariff debate. Carnegie, the great iron
operator, is said to be contemplating
investments in tin properties, and max
ing the manufacture Of tin plates part
of his vast manufacturing business
Spearfish Register.
b. f. Pinneo of Lincoln. Neb. special
agent for the b. & M. has established
his headquarters in this city, pending
the completion of the road to Deadwood.
His wife, who is at present remaining
at Hot Springs, will join him here next
week. Mr.. Pinneo is here in the inter
est Of contractor Fitzgerald, and will put
forth a vigorous offort in the direction
of closing whiskey joints along the line,
which are said to materially interfere
with the progress of the construction OF
the road. Mr.. Pinneo is very pleas
ant gentleman to meet: being genial
and approachable, he Is our reporters
ideal Of jolly good fellow, and he
evinces degree Of earnestness in his ef-
forts to accomplish the object of his mis-
sion, that would seem to warrant the
highest success.
NINE SOLD.
The u. s. gold claim. located three
miles west of this place, and owned by
Myron McSherer, Of Custer, was
recently sold to A. G. Trombly, Of Min
neapolis. Consideration $4,000.
The above claim was located in jan
uary Of the present year, and has been
partially developed by the sinking of o
shaft to the depth of twenty, feet upon
the vein. The ore body 80 far as shown
by the workings, is from forty to sixty
feet in width, and numerous assays show
the ore to be Of excellent grade strata's
Of black telluride ore, running away up
into the hundreds. The property is
considered very valuable and it is the
intention to proceed at once with the
thorough development Of the property
with view to the erection of a plant
upon the same as soon as developments
will warrant.
STRUCK 1T RICH.
Jimmie Demereau struch rich tin this
week upon one of the claims Of group
located near Sunday Gulch. The group
was sold some time ago by Demerean
and his partner, A. T. Feay, of this place
to the Harney Peak company, and
Demerean is doing the assessment W ork
for the company. The strike was E,ade
in shaft, about twenty five feet below
thesurface, no tin whatever appearing on
top. The ore is said to be the equal Of
any yet found in the district, and ii is a
matter for regret that it was not dis
covered prior TO the sale, in which case
y A'oala have added materially TO the
exehequer Of the original owners OF the
property who richly deserve whichever

1t is unnecessary to read between the
lines ofthe following item, taken from
the Rapid City Journal, to determine
the political trend Of that ostensibly in
dependent sheet. "The population of
the territory of Washington in 1880 was
75,ll6. The late census of the new
state gives the present population at
346, 1000. This shows growth Of nearly
four hundred per cent in ten years,
and yet the democracy thought the
population TO small for state.

The pot political has scarcely COM
menced to simmer in Custer County at
this writing. Prosp ective candidates
are thus far profoundly silent, having
made no public announcement of their
political intentions, nor has either party
yet published call for county con-
vention. The trend of public thought
is evidently not in the direction of pol
itics at present however strongly it may
turn in that direction in the more excit-
ing and interesting bye and bye. II
may and doubtless does appear to many,
u very difficult matter to forecast the
result of the coming political campaign
in Custer County. The organization Of
the independent party, which for the
first time will present ticket for the
consideration of Custer County voters,
makes the result somewhat more diff
cult of solution, and yet 1t would ap-
pear TO us taking into consideration
everything having any bearing upon the
subject, that it may be safely considered
foregone conclusion that the republi-
cans, with proper effort, may come out
victorious. 1t il therefore to devoutly
hoped that they may carefully
consider the merits of aspiring cam
didates, and nominate a ticket with
special referance to the integrity and
capability ofthe nominees thereon pre-
sented. 1t is Of the utmost importance
that Custer county elect no man to an
important official position this fall whose
honesty and ability will not stand the
test of the most thorough and searching
scrutiny.

The Deadwood Times thus reasonably
contrasts the present silver situation,
with what it would have been had
Grover been reelected to the presiden-
cy: Had Grover Cleveland been elect
ed president two years ago, no silver bill
would have been passed. There would
have been no rise in the price of silver.
There would have been no marked ad-
dition to the wealth Of the nation. No
stimulant ould have been given to the
silver mining industry. Work would
have been started on no idle mines.
Yet there:.are people even in Dakota
who mourn that the statesman of girth
and gold monopoly was not reelected.

An exchange says the secret of sue
cess in mining is generally found in
heavy production. "This is illustrated in
the history of every great mine in the
country. The Deadwood mines, which
are paying now, and have paid millions
Of dollars in dividends, yield about "a
per ton. When they were offered in
the California markets, the experts gen.
orally condemned them as worthless, say
ing that the ore was too low grade to be
worked proftably on scale to supply
only ten or twenty or thirty-stamp
mill but it existed in such quantities
that it could be mined cheaply when
mined extensively, and when mined to
supply sixty or eighty-stamp mill
there was a small profit on each ton
which, in the course of year made
large profits. The chance for this was
seen by Mr.. w. A. Parish, who recon-
mended the purchase, and his predic-
tions have been realized. and over $5,-
100000 in dividends have been paid"

have never seen anywhere such rapid
development and increased Of value ex-
cepting. of course, seasons Of crazy ex.
citement-as are going on in the region
just north Of New Orleans. There is q
big stretch of country there which four
or five years ago was almost wilderness,
covered with scanty and scrubby forest
growth. You could buy all you wanted
Of it for two or three dollars per acre.
Towns are springing up all over it,
where formerly there was nothing but
an occasional shanty. The people who
are doing this are mainly new corners
from the North, and they are paying par
ticular attention t. Strawberries, but
raise also the small and tree fruit grown
in the climate. These all ripen there as
early as they do in any part Of the Uni.
ted States. and as New Orleans has quick
communication with all the big cities Of
the Mississippi Valley, the fruit can be
marketed at considerable advantage over
early products elsewhere. I've been down
there quite often during the past four or
five years and as the people are still
rushing in. and the land soaring upward
in value. it looks to me good deal like
the beginning of a m.'-New York sum.
