A Printer Penned.

Sioux Falls, Dec. 9.-The first Sioux
City man for the South Dakota peniten-
tiary in Sioux Falls has just been re-
ceiyed. The fact that he was Sioux
City man was not known until he was
searched, when travelling card of Sioux
City Typographical Union No. $50 was
found upon Dick" Hebb's person.
Dick is printer with wild reputation.
He was foreman of LeMars printing
Office at one time, and worked in the
Journal chapel frequently. He left
Sioux City about six weeks ago and
went TO Hot Springs, s. D., in Fall River
county. Here he began work for the
local print shop. and it was not long be-
fore he got on spree and was discharged
Being in a strange country without
money, without railroad to steal ride
on, and saturated with bad whisky, he
set fire to the printing shop and il
burned down. This was two weeks ago
last Friday. The following Monday he
confessed his crime, and soon after was
sentenced to seven years in the peni-
tentiary. He has a wife and seven chill
dren, who are living In Spearflsi,, in the
Black Hills. Seven years Of mans
life for being drunk seems hard thing.
but il should be lesson. Dick told the
above story to deputy warden, and II
was confirmed by the sheriff who &C
companied tho prisoner from Hot
Springs.

The Indians.

Reports Of Indian depredations have
been rife at this place during the week,
which, as usual, have been largely
imaginary. Among others the reported
death of M. III. Day at the hands Of the
hostiles, which created such fever Of
excitement, was utterly without founda-
ton.
The reported killing of numerous In
dians and many whites in various To-
calities on the border, when fully sifted,
are found to be greatly exaggerated, only
one indian, and no whites having been
killed. That the Indians have been in
dulging their innate propensity for
stealing stock from the settleps along
the border of the reservation is we'll as
sured, but no authentic accounts OF
open warfare against the whites have
been received, and the situation is such
at this time as to render an overt out
break on their part extremely improb-
able. Troops have been massiaeyt ron
the confines of the bad lands during the
week, and the hostiles are now fairly
surrounded by Gordon Of soldiers. 1t
is the reported intention OF Gen Miles,
now at Rapid City, to attack the camp of
the hostiles IN the bad lands at an early
day, which action has been deferred by
reason Of a weakness shown on the
part of the Indians, many of whom, in
Guiding 1.-TWO Strike" a prominent war
chief, have abandoned their hostile in
tentions and came into the agency at
Pine Ridge.
1t is now reported that only two or
three hundred hostiles remain defiant
in the bad lands camp, and that the
situation is far less alarming than it
was a week ago.
The killing of Sitting Bull who is uni
versaliy conceded TO have been the
worst card in the aboriginal pack, has
evidently had the effect of intmidating
the hostiles. rather than precipitating an
outbreak as many feared and aside
rom Kidding the country Of the most
dangerous and villainous representative
redsin 1t, had a marked effect in the di-
rection of abridging an Indian cam
paign, which otherwise might have been
extended through the entire winter
There are now substantial reasons to
expect, as all earnestly hope, that the
trouble may be speedily settled, and
that the state, and more especially the
Black Hills, may soon be relieved of the
damaging influences resulting from
what, at best, may only be denominated
as a most pronounced, and in many re.
spects, an unwarrantei Indian scare.

MORE BUILDINGS WANTED.

Christmas is almost here the year is
waning, and practically gone January
is already upon the eve of its advent f;
February is approaching; March will
soon be marching in, and nothing done.
Custer, the most beautiful and highly
favored, town, in all material respects,
in the Black Hills; the best advertised
the most popular on the list, is doing
practically nothing in the way ofprepar-
alton for The heavy migration that may
be confidently expected in the spring
The CHRONICLE is in receipt Of numer-
Gus letters announcing the intention of
the writer's to visit Custer in the spring
with view TO permanent residence,
many of whom contemplate the es-
tablishment of business enterprises.
Now what, may we ask, will be the sit
uation here when they arrive? This
much may BE said with safety, that if,
as at present, there are no business
houses or residences to be had, many of
them will be compelled to seek loca
cations in other towns, where the stu
alton is more favorable in this regard.
It's erroneous to suppose that any con-
siderable number of even the better
class Of those who will come here with
view to establishing businesss will de-
fer the opening until they erect build
ings for themselves. Many Of them
have insufficient capital to build, and
come with the expectation of renting a
building suitable for the business they
expect to engage in. Others who have
ample capital, and who will secure lots,
and erect business houses and resid-
ences, will require building to do busi-
ness in, and house in which to live in
the meantime. Custer should turn her
attention to the building of houses not
million houses, but a number sufficient
to meet her immediate requirements,
and no more, as she is the only town in
the Hills, at this writing, where the de-
mand for houses exceeds, to a marked
degree, the supply on hand. There is
no question but what the proper thing
for Custer to do, and do at once, is TO
build houses,

Hermosa Wants It.

A delegation Of bu mess men from
Hermosa, came up yesterday morning
and made proposition to General Man
ager Coad, of the Dakota, Wyoming and
Missouri River Railroad company, for
the building of the road from Hermosa
to Hill City and the coal fields. They
offered as an inducement for the build
ing OF the road from that point war
ranty deed to 1000 acres Of land in the
Immediate vicinity Of this town, also a
ninty-nine year franchise for street
car line, electric light, gas works and
water works. They also claim that the
road could be built for great deal less
money from their town than il could be
from this point. and assured Mr.. Coad
that il his road was located there and
completed during the year 1891, they
would secure the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul road from Chamberlain.
1t will be seen by the above that Her.
mosa knows a good thing when
she sees IL, and will use all means with
in her power to secure the location of
this road. from there. Mr.. Coad will
submit this proposition to the board OF
directors Of his road. and in the mean
time, If his proposition is accepted by
the citizens Of this city, he assured
Journal reporter that Rapid City would
be the terminus Of the road.-Rapid

Wyoming Oil.

The following letter from Professor
Chance, an eminent geologist Of Phil
adelphia, to the Deadwood Pioneer, in
relation to the existence of oil in Wyo-
ming, will be read with special interest
by our local patrons, in as much ms the
theory presented is in marked but pleas
ing contrast with the views referred TO
by the writer, as having been recently
submitted through the columns of that
paper:
Editor Pioneer
In recent Black Hills paper, an
article quoted from the Deadwood
Pioneer embodies series Of assertions
regarding the existence of oil in the
Blact Hills and adjoining country that
are p..sns., not entirely in agree
ment with the facts as developed by
those properly qualified experts who
have looked into this matter.
The existence or non-existence of coal
either above or below a stratum show
ing signs of oil has long been abondon-
ed as possible indication of oil. Oil in
large quantity may exist above coal
bed, or where no coal Is known.
In southern New York there is no
coal, but oil in large quantities. In the
fields Of central Pennsylvania oil is
found with coal, and in southern Penn
sylvania it occurs in rocks underlaid,
as well as overlaid by COAL Similar
conditions prevail in many other states
in the union, and in many districts in
other parts of the world. Speaking
broadly we may say that OF. in quantity
may occur in any sedimentary formation
mot metamorphized) and that the yield
win be geatest where the formations are
not uptilted, but be comparatively un.
disturbed--nearly fiat. Coarse grained
sandstones (porous) have been found
more largely productive than other
rock.
In the country surrounding the Black
Hills, especially west of the Hills, the
prospect Of oil in paying quantities is
good. The rock is all right. the forma
ton all right, the indications good, and
that some largely productive areas will
ultimately be found, / do not doubt.
In this opinion other experts agree,
and some time since. in conference with
Mr.. John +. Carrie, who ranks unquos-
tionably above every other oil or gas ex-
pert in this country, IL not in the world.
found these views were confirmed by
his own studies of the formation to the
southwest.
Other experts might also be quoted To
sustain the opinion expressed above
1t does not follow that every well drill
ed will be success. Many will be i'm
properly located, and from these nothing
can be expected, except that they will
fail to reach the oil-bearing stratum
Many others will, unfortunately be To-
Gated in the "dry spots" or unproductive
area, and viii give negative results
Such experiences are common to all
new oil fields.
Many years will pass before tine best
productive areas are discovered and
their limits defined. That these areas
can only be found with the drill is evi.
dent. ard ifin making the search some
wells are unsuccessful, that is no reason
for discontinuingit Il.

Inquiry for Dakota Lands,

Pierre Dec. 1.-THE fact that the
United States land Office here is in re-
ceipt daily Of letters from nearly every
portion Of the country from persons de-
sirous of learning something ofthe char
aeter Of the government land west Of the
river, with view Of settling thereon,
would naturally lead to the belief that
good immigration to the late ceded
Sioux lands may be expected next
spring. The western half of the state
was very thoroughly advertised during
the late capital campaign, its good as
well as inferior qualities having been
discussed and published far and wide,
and now the great Indian "scare" has
again brought this portion Of the state
before the entire country, and as an
Indian uprising is only a short lived af-
fair at the worst, there can be no doubt
but that the advertising thus gained will
result in the personal Investigation by
thousand, Of the resources of the section
OF country they have heard so much
about. Then, should the effort which
will be put forth to have the 81 .25 per
acre clause in the bill under which the
100000 acres Of land were opened 10
settlement prove successful, and the
same be repealed and the land made
free to homesteaders, another great
stimulus would be added 10 prospect
i've immigration and there is every rea-
son to believe that this obnoxious $1.25
per acre clause will he repealed, for Con-
gresham Peel. of Arkansas, who was in
strumental in having the Sioux bill pass
ed, has promised to assist in accomp-
fishing the desired result as soon as
possible. Then there is little room for
reasonable doubt but one or more rail-
roads will begin active building oper-
ations across from the river TO the Black
Hills early next summer, the Midland
Pacific having already made survey
from Pierre to the Black Hills, which
will he strong factor in starting people
into the new counties west OF the river
in the early spring.

TIN PLATE MANUFACTURE.

The report comes to us from st. Louis,
via prominent Chicago iron man, that
the St. Louis Stamping Works, now en-
gagged the construction of tin-plate
plant, is preparing to make a decided
innovation in the long established meth
cd of manufacturing tin ware. Hitherto
all forms of tin ware have been made
from imported lin plates. In cutting
these into the forms required to make
up the desired ware, there is great deal
of waste. This is particularly true
where circles for the bottoms Of utensils
and irregularly shaped pieces are to be
cut from rectangular sheets. This
waste amounts to very large percent
age of the stock. Formerly it was dis
carded altogether, but for some time
it has been utilized in making sash
weights, the price obtained for the
scraps being very insignificant.
The st. Louis Stamping Company pro-
poses to stop large portion of this
enormous waste and at the same time
improve the quality of manufactured
tin ware. Their plan is simple one
and would, no doubt, have been adopt
ed long ago had tin plate been manufact-
ured in this country. In word they
propose to make the ware out of the
plain black sheet metal, and tin it after
wards. BY adopting this process the
waste would be plain iron, or steel as the
case might be, instead Of tin plate, thus
effecting heavy saying in the, at pres.
ent rather precious white metal
Not only will this new process save
a great deal of money, but it will actual
ly produce finer goods Tin ware made
direct from plated sheets lacks a finish
in the joints, unless it is retinned after
being made up, as it is done in the case
Of really fine and high priced goods.
The proposed plan will make the cheap
est goods look IS well as the most ex-
pensiye heretofore turned out, and will
likewise save the expense of rs-tinning
the finer grades.
That this scheme will more than over
balance the enhanced cost Of tin plate,
no thoughtful person can doubt. Give
American manufacturers and inventors
a place to stand, and they will do the
rest. The famous tin cup Of the last po-
litical campaign, bids fair TO return to
its old time price, If it does not go low
er. The Mckinley bill seems to be ad-
justing itself to the demands Of the
people.-Chicago Journal OF Commerce.
