Commenting ON the recent decision OF
the +. L. Il M. V. railroad company to
build to Deadwood and Bald Mountain,
and the further fact of an implied in
tention on the part Of the b. * M. to
build from Burton to Lead City, via
Custer, the Buffalo Gap News hopefully
says: This latter fact assures Buffalo
Gap the Chicago and Milwaukee through
this place t. connection with the b. NJ.
as the two companies work together and
such a con lection will give command
of the coal mines of the Hills. Accord
ing to the dispatch that the bonds for
the Kearney and Black Hills road had
carried, published in our last, we will
thus have three roads constructing to-
ward us and we are to head of at least
two Of them. Four years ago we had
made and published a rail road map of
the Black Hills which will be found on
the fourth page of this issue and We ven
ture the as sertion that inside Of two
years it will be nearly correct SO far as
routes travelled are concerned with the
exception of the line from Burton to

H. G. Wicker, general manager Of the
Harvey Peak Tin company, accompani-
ed by Supt. Willsie, Assistant Engineer
James Baldwin. and Titus Ulke, assayer
and chemist, came in on Wednesday
from Hill City for a few days ~sojourn
among the prominent tin locations
owned by that company in this inn
mediate vicinity. This is Mr.. Wicker's
first visit to this city, and he was most
favorably impressed with its delightful
location and excellent mineral prospects.
He did not hesitate to express the opin-
ion, which il so universally entertained,
that this place was by far the most
beautiful Of all the towns Of the Black
Hills. Mr.. Wicker expresses unbound
ed faith in the mineral of this
region, and with reference TO the inten-
tons Of his company. he stated that the
placing of tin upon the market in ample
quantities to meet the home demand, at
the earliest practicable day. was their
fixed purpose. Mr.. w. is o very genial
gentleman, with whom 1t Is o pleasure
to meet. and unless we are greatly mis-
led in our opinion, 10 the right man In

is the purpose of the publishers to con

confusion, that m Of them at least
adopt another title. The publication of
two newspapers in one town under cor

ridiculous to say the least, and will lead
to endless confusion in many directions,
to say nothing about the mistakes of

giving credit for items copied. 1t would
appear to be a losing venture to estab-

Why Wont Men Be Sincere With
Themselves a?

1t is the custom Of many persons to
purchase, at the close of each year,
diaries" in which they propose to
set down their daily thoughts and
acts-to write, in fact, their own pri-
vate histories in a series of annual
volumes.
AS these photographed memoir
anda are only intended for the eyes
Of the parties who commit them tC
paper, it might be thought that they
would be candid and authentic. Blu
this is seldom the case. Few men
are entirely sincere, even witt
themselves. Few are willing t.
paint themselves as they really are
and know themselves to be, ever
though none but themselves con
template the picture.
Unquestionably, hundreds of indi
viduals who keep diaries tell fibs
overrcach their neighbors, are guilty
of detaction, repay good with evil
put an enemy in their mouths t,
steal away their brains, use profane
language, and in other ways trans
gress the moral law. Yet were al
the diaries in existence published to-
morrow, no such entries as, "to day

Respect For Ones Own Powers.

We should always be learners,
gladly welcoming every help and
resoecting every personality. But
we should also respect our own, and
bear in mind that, through the wide
universe is full of good, no kernel Of
nourishing corn can come to us but
through our toll bestowed on that
plot of grsund which is given to us to
till. To undervalue our own thouget
because it is ours, to depreciate our
own powers or faculties because some
ne else's are more vigorous, to
shrink from doing what we can be-
cause we think can so little, is to
hinder our own develoment and the
progress of the world. For it is only
by exercise that any faculty is
strengthened, and only by each one
putting his sholder to the wheel that
the world moves and humanity adj
vances.

The Blind Boys Picture.
A story from the German.

A story from the German.
Once there lived a little boy who |
was blind from his birth. In vain |
he sighed to see flowers and birds,
about which his mother often talked. |
But it was always night to him. Once
he had lovely dream. He saw an
angel float into the room, step to his
bedside and say:
II have a beautiful picture book
here, which / show to good children
in the night when they sleep. Would
you like to see it?"
"Ah, DEAR" said the boy, weeping,
"You are wrong. am a poor blind
boy and cannot see; not even your
beautiful pictures"
The angel dried the boys eyes and
said: "You can surely see them as
well as you can see me. That is just
why l go to blind children, so that
they may view in dreams what they
cannot elsewhere see." He then sat
by the bed, opened large, very
lovely book, and showed the boy the
pictures.
With what Joy did the lad see
what was spread before him Flow
ers and birds and everything were
much more beautiful than he had
ever thought. And the kind angel
told him the sweetest stories. But
when they had finished half the
book, he arose and said:
"NOw l must 60 back to heaven.
for it will soon be dawn. / shall
come again tomorrow night, and you
shall see the rest of the pictures"
With these words he disappeared,
and to the blind boy it was night
again.
When his mother came to him the
next day he told her of the angel and
the lovely book. But she said in a
sad voice "Nou are ill, my poor
boy, and must remain in bed today"
The poor child was satisfied, for he
was very tired. Still as a mouse he
lay, and smiled often as he thought
Of the angels visit, while he rejoiced
at the coming evening.
At night time the angel came
again, hut the mother, who watched
at the bedside, could not see him,
nor did she hear the stories told; but
she listened anXiously to the short
breaths of the boy.
When the child had seen the last
picture he begged: "Ah, dear angel,
come soon back again and show me
more of your lovely pictures. Have
you only one picture book ?"
81 have many Others" replied the
angel, "much more beautiful, and
will be glad to show them all. But
they are in heaven and 1 cannot
bring them down to earth. If you
will come to me you can see them.'
81 would very much like to-" the
boy replied, "but l must first ask my
mother and tell her where / am go
ing. Come tomorrow night and fetch
me-"
The angel promised. When thu
boy awoke, he begged his mother t
let him go to heaven, so that HI
might see all the angels beautiful
pictures. The mother wept anC
wished him not to leave her, but HI
begged so long that she finally con
