Railroad N ewa.

The Deadwood Times is informed
that representative Of the Burlington
has taken bond on a large portion of
the Sundance coal property, as well as
upon certain coal claims midway be-
tween New Castle and SUndance, which,
if correct would seem to indicate an in
tention Of the company to build to the
latter place.
Advices from dow n the line of the
B. & M. grade are to the effect, that
work on the big bridge at Sheep canyon
is progressing rapidly, and that it will
be completed by the 18th inst. Fair
progress is reported on the grade north
OF that point. and 1t is expected that the
road bed will be ready for the rails, as
far as Bradley Flat, by the time the
bridge is finished, insuring the compile
ton of the road to that place very soon
thereafter. probably by the Goth.
The work on the grade OF the Buffalo
extension is progressing finely. The
track layers commenced work Tuesday
and will keep up the average Of a mile a
a day for thirty days. They have q
track laying machine and outfit. Kill
Patrick Bros. & Coilins:are doing the
track-laying as well as the grading, the
company having found it TO be more
profitable to let the work to respon-
sible firm than 10 attempt it in connec-
ton with the other railroad work.

A A oW Book.

BATTLES and Leaders Of the Civil
War;" is the title Of new publication
in four volumes, recently issued by the
Century Publishing company. The
publication is for most part composed OF
contributions from officers who took a
part in the late war. and although based
upon the Century war articles contain
hundreds Of pages Of entirely new mat
ter. 1t Is profusely illustrated, l.700 en-.
cravings being scattered through the
four volumes. 1t Is one of the most
complete and interesting stories Of the
late war ever published, and contains
vivid and accurate descriptions OF 2,66l
engagements on land and sea. The book
IL edited by the we'll known Journalists
Robert Underwood Johnson and Clar-
ence Clough Buell., Of the Century edit
orial staff. q. q. Roberts is the sole
agent for this section. 1t Is book that
should be read by every one. Certainly
no history ofany war was ever 90 male,
and certainly no history, either Of our
own civil war or any other, possesses
SO many points of personal interest.
The work Is found to stand unsurpassed
among the many publications which the
American civil war has ELECTED, and we
take pleasure in testifying to the fact
that nothing which has ever issued from
the press does higher honor to the
genius OF the American publisher.

this chronic croaker. His description
OF the region does not present solitary
desirable feature; agriculture is pro-
nounced failure, and mining fraud.
The climate, from October TO June, is
not such as would commend itself to
any one, and his readers are especially
warned against basing climatic estimates
upon statements made by those having
town lots for sale. He notes the sur
prising fact Of his having toiled three
full days in the mines without profita.
BILE results, and stamps upon the mind
Of the credulous reader the gloomy i'm
preston that mining in this locality is
like dropping a five dollar gold piece
between rocks and spending twenty
dollars in getting it out. He makes no
reference whatever to tin. which may be
justly classed among our most promising
resources.
Our farm fields are described as being
from eight TO ten acres in extent, Of
which only portion can be cultivated
on account Of the presence of 'lode
sroppings" caps and blows" while 1t is
fact that fields containing from twenty
10 forty, and as high as sixty acres are
under profitable cultivation in this
vicinity. The writer takes it upon him
self, after having sojourned here for
few months, to advise what he denomi-
mates tenderfeet (those who have been
here a less number Of months than he)
to "leave for home before it is TOO late,
or the fact has been impressed upon
heir minds that distant pastures look
green, or closer inspection dispels the
illusion that wealth can be acquired in
the Custer district"
That the letter referred TO is tissue
Of misrepresentation from beginning to
end, and libel upon one of the most
promising and delightful sections Of the
west, is fact patent to all who have
taken the pains TO inform themselves in
this direction. and in refutation of every
derogatory statement therein contained,
we refer the people of Walker and
Centre Point, to any one OF the many
settlers in this vicinity from those points,
who we feel assured will unite with us
in denouncing the communication as
being unjust, unwise and misleading in
every particular.

The Fourth.

The Fourth Of July was quiet day iI
Custer, there being no arrangements
made by her citizens for the celebration
of the day. This was the LIST instance in
many years that Custer failed to celebrate
in fitting manner our natal day, and had
it not been for the pending celebration
of the completion of the b. & NJ. rail
road to this city in the early future, this
occasion would also have been cele-
brated.
Custer was we'll represented at Four
Mile, where very successful and en-
joyable celebration was held, and also at
Hill City, from which place we have no
advices as we go to press. The attend
ance was surprisingly large at Four
Mile considering the short notice given; !;
five hundred persons in attendance.
Eloquent speeches were delivered by
Attorney Reynolds, ard Prof. Kubias Of
this city, followed by very interesting
programme Of sports under the super
vision of Marshal Moss and his aids.
A very ENJOYABLE hop at the school
house served as pleasing supplement
TO the days enjoyment. Among the
prize winners. we note the following:
Capt. c. A. Haserodt, of Custer, a fine
Winchester rifle, for best score in the
rifle contest.
William Nevin, -Four Mile, a fine
Smith & Wesson pistol, for best score in
the pistol contest.
John Mallon, of Custer. took first
money in the horse race, and Frank p.
Thompson, of Custer, took second mon
ey.
John Leek, Of Custer, was the winner
in the pony race.
Mr.. Miles, of Four Mile, won in the
mans foot race, and Jimmie Shankland,
of Custer, crossed the wire first in the
boys foot race, and Richard Foster. Of
Custer, caught, after long and labori-
GUS race, the creased pig.
The names Of a number Of other per-
sons who were prize winners, we failed
to learn.
