o Suspicious.

The Newcastle Journal notes the ar.
rival at that place CT two coal experts
who are believed to be there in the in.
terest of the Northwestern Railroad
company. The Journal says:
Neither announced his business or
by any hint or sign permitted the peo-
pie with whom he came in contact to sus-
pcct his business, but when a coal expert
travels four hundred miles further over
the Northwestern than he would have
to oyer the b. & NJ. to reach Newcastle,
and came for no other purpose than to
make Investigations in regard to the
possibility of finding another coal bed
here, it is a healthy indication that the
Northwestern folks sent him here. II
he goes to the expense OF teams and
drivers to visit all the supposed-to- be
coal lands in this vicinity. even driving
to the Skull Creek mines, a distance OF
fourteen miles, it is an indication that
someone wants full information about
them. And finally when he leaves in
structions with a local agent to secure
filings upon 1000 acres of new lands,
circumstances begin to look desperately
suspicious"

pnhho Announcement.

The following statement of Public
Examiner Blanchard in justification of
the official conduct of the register of
deeds and county auditor, suggested by
an unwarranted suspicion existing in
the minds Of q few individuals in the
county, of criminal collision between
these officers and the county treasurer
in the matter of his late defalcation,
based upon their close official relations,
is given space in our columns as a matter
of Justice to men whose official acts, the
CHRONICLE believes, have been char
acterized by the strictest honesty of
purpose, and which, in the opinion OF
this paper, will bear the most careful
and searching scrutiny:
CUSTER CRY, Feb. 20, 1890.
To whom it may concern:
In justice to the auditor and county
clerk of Custer county, l will say that
find nothing in my examination OF the
t%reasurer's books to cast any suspicion
upon either auditor or county clerk OF
collision with the treasurer, on the con
trary, / find their books accurately kept,
and proper entries made of all the treas
urer's receipts and disbursements so far
as the same were reported to them.
The trouble arises from our faulty sys-
tenn which gives to the treasurer the
power to control to a great extent the
charges that may be made against him.
Very truly,
r. Il. BLANCHARD.

There is no longer any doubt as to
the building of the Lead City branch of
the b. & Nj. road through this city, as the
Newcastle Journal, a paper hitherto SO
earnest and uncompromising in its
efforts to run the line direct from that
place to Lead, has now given quasi
consent, very gracefully bows to the
inevitable. and even finds a crum of
comfort in its contemplation, rs indi-
Gated in the following which we clip
from the last issue Of that paper:
"But several routes have been surveyed
There is a choice between the di-
rect one from here, or a line from Mari
eta through Hot Springs. Custer and
Hill City. AS far as Newcastle is con-
cerned, the greatest temporary good
would result from the latter route. The
tin mines at Hill City are already being
developed. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars have already been expended
There would be a demand for coal and
coke almost as SOC as the line is COM
pleted. All these towns would be In
some degree tributary to Newcastle. If
the b. 4 d. builds to Lead City by this
route the coming summer, it will shut
the Northwestern out of territory it is
preparing to occupy. And when we
know that if the line through Custer is
built now, there is a certainty that the
direct line from Newcastle will be con
structed later, whereas if it is not built
the Northwestern will occupy the field
and the b. & NJ. have only one line into
the Hills. Newcastle people can afford
to be satisfied"

that he did not come here until after
he had i%mportuned preachers and just
ices downin that neighborhood to tie
the nuptial knot. They all refused how
ever and he met with the same failure
in Hermosa. But he wasn't to be put
of in that way. so hired a rig and went

William Blythe, the Iowa coal man,
of whom We made mention last week,
departed Monday for Newcastle. Be-
fore his departure he made a thorough
examination of the Sundance coal prop
erty, and to say that he was both sur
prised and delighted would express it
mildly. He will make his report next
week to the railroad officials, and we
have little doubt it will result in the de-
yelopment of these coal fields on a
large scale and the consequent extension
of the railroad to Sundance. with this
point as the base of operations. While
Mr.. Blythe was of course, reticent as to
the report he would make, he made the
significant remark that he hoped soon
TO be living in Sundance with his family.

Fitzpatrick Bros. & Collins are con-
structing their first coke ovens at the
mines and in a short time they will be
in condition to utilize all the slack or
refuse coal by converting the same into
coke. The coke that is made from this
coal is pronounced by experts to he of
a superior quality and ranks next to the
Pennsylvania coke. AS soon as they
get their ovens completed they will soon
be able to produce a large amount of
this valuable commodity, which will
not only be a matter of very great saw
ing to the company, but at the same
time it will create a new industry. The
CONVEX ion of coal into coke will require
a large force of laborers in addition to
the already large force the company has
to employ in the mining of coal. Every
new indusry in our vicinity must
contribute to the material interests
Of the town.-Alcrt.
