Authoritatively Denied.

The report going the rounds of the
eastern press that the Omaha board Of
trade had examined the tin mines ofthe
Black Hills and reported that tin had
not been found in paying quantities,
proves 10 be canard, as shown by the
following communication recently re-
ceived by, r. b. Hughes. president OF
the Rapid City board of trade in answer
to letter of inquiry addressed by him
to secretary Mason.
Omaha, May o, 1891.
Mr. X. II. Hughes, President Board Of Trade
Rapid City, South Dakota.
DEAR SIR II beg to acknowledge the
receipt of your favor of the 9th instansi
and In reply would say, we have befar2
heard OF the newspaper publications to
which you refer, but the clipping you
enclose is the first we have seen. The
committees from this board which
made investigations Of the Harney Peak
district and also the Spearfsh district
filed written reports on their return and
are not of the character stated in the
but decidedly the reverse
How any such information has been
promulgated Is incomprehensibl to
me. The reports of both committees
were to a large extent made public
through the papers Of the city and pre-
sumo the Harney Peak company has
copies of the same. Yours very truly,
w. ". Mason, Secretary.

American Tin Plate.

The Boston Herald few days ago de-
cldred that the talk of the Repub,i-
can press about American tin plate was
all nonsense" and that there was "no
American tin plate to be had at reason
able price, if at ALL" Now comes the
New York Press, with an offer to fill the
Herald's office full of American tin plate
at the same price that English tin plate
is sold. The Herald, although it is a
strong free trade paper, still has sense
enough left not to accept the offer. The
people will soon find that these tin
plate liars are really blufiing. The tin
duty is fixture. and American tin plate
will within the next two years, be
manufactured In sufficient quantities to
supply all our wants.-Toledo Blade

THIS MEANS CUSTER.

The following Rapid City special to
the Omaha Bee appeared in that paper
ON the 10Th inst:
Rapid City, S. d., May ll.-J. l..
Downs Of Cleveland, Ohio, has spent
several weeRs in the vicinity of Harney
Peak and the tin districts. lie is work.
ing up large deal in tin mines, said to
aggregate about $4,000. Downs is sup.
posed to represent the Standard Oil COM
pany. There are several other large
deals now under way.
The Bees Rapid City correspondent
might have been moro explicit in defin-
ing the location Of the tin properties
embraced in the Downs deal, all of
which are in the immediate vicinity of,
or directly tributary to Custer. The
failure on the part of Rapid correspond
ents to specifically define the location
of Black Hills mines has been frequent
ly noted, which can only be charitably
attributed to that place being so remotely
located from them.
