Tho Celebration.

Notwithstanding the fact that Custer
has been chosen as the objective point
for the first annual excursion of the
Black Hills Pioneers, on the Sth of June,
which will necessarily involve an ex-
pense of six or seven hundred dollars
in order to entertain the visitors in the
Custer way" the intention to celebrate
the Fourth of July has by no means
been abandoned, the arrangements for
such celebration under the auspices of
the Knights Of Pythias ofthis place hav-
ing been practically completed. Nearly
four hundred dollars has already been
subscribed by the citizens for this pur-
pose, and it may be said to be fairly as
sured that Custer will nave a rousing
celebration on Independence day, July
4ih, 1891, and it is to be fondly hoped
and most earnestly desired that this
important fact may not escape the
memory OF our numerous readers.

Mining Items.

The Deadwood Times says Contract
to supply lumber for the building of the
Harney Peak company's immense mill
is soon to be let. 1t is stated 3.000,000
feet will be required. j. C. Jones went
down yesterday to figure for slice of
it.
The gold properties recently bonded
Mt -Four Mile, of which mention was
made in our last issue, will, if the bonds
are taken up, pass into the hands Of w.
L. Haskell, of the Minneapolis Daily
Journal, and q. q. Smith, Of the Mon

thority for the statement, that Mr..
Smith will remove his mill, now located
on the Montana mine. to the Four Mile
property, where it will be put in opera.

]. N. Wright, of this place, who is a
co-owner with Judd and Shafer in the
celebrated Spokane lode i'm the Squaw
Creek silver district, came in Thursday
from the mine. which he reports to be
constantly improving as the work of
development progresses. We learn
from Mr.. Wright that the fourth car Of
ore was to be shipped on Thursday, and
that hereafter the shipment ofore would
be kept up without intermission. A
sample of the ore taken from the present
workings showed the presence ofgenuIne
steel galena, character Of ore invaria-
bly, rich in silver, which Mr.. Wright as
sures us is becoming quite plentiful in
the mine. lie speaks Of one piece
of ore recently broken ink.lno mine,
weighing about eight hnndref pounds,
in which this character of ore
largely predominated. The. prospects
at present are most na,tering for the
best silver camp in the Hills at Sqnaw
Creek, and that il will he the objective
point for at least two railroads in the
near future there are ample reasons to be-
lieve.
The total product of the precious
metals in South Dakota, for the year
1890, according to the lately published
report of director of the mint, Edward
c. Leech. was approximately S3,27S,000
gold, s3,ll2,O00 silver, sl56,0O0. The
present year promises large increase
in the production Of gold and silver.
This is due to the deyopment Of the
railroad system of the Hills country.
The leading mines are the Caledonia,
Deadwood Terra Highland, Homestake,
Uncle Sam. Grizzly Bear, Four Mile and
the Unknown. The largest output is
from the Homestake, which produced
last year 81 ,04S, ,8s395 in gold and Sl2,-
1858 in silver. The Highland ranks

The Homestake last year declared
dividends to tie amount ofSl62,000, and

Rev. G.. ii. Mckee delivered a very in

sence oftwo well known members Of
the post, who were in attendance with
their comrades upon similar occasion
last year, who in the meantime have
been mustered out" and have gone to
JOIN the Grand Army above. was sor-
rowfully noted. The ranks Of the COM
rades are gradually being depleted by
death, an invincible foe who has never
met defeat. and who the combined ar
mics Of the world would be powerless to
conquer, The sad fact suggests itself
that it is but question of a few years
when the organization of the Grand
Army of the Republic will haye passed
into history, and the last participant in
the great struggle will be numbered with
his departed comrades.

Rev. William Fielder, president ofthe
South Dakota Prohibition Alliance, ed
dressed the citizens Of this place on
Tuesday evening at the Methodist
church upon the subject Of prohibition,
confning his remarks more especially
to the obstacles which stand in the way
of its success. The address, which cir
cumstances deprived us of the pleasure
of hearing, is favorably mentioned by
those in attendance. Rev. Fielder will
probably visit this city again before
leaving the Hills, as he was delighted
with the beauty of the place, which he
pronounced the most attractive of all
the towns he had visited, and the most
liberal, as indicated by larger cash
collection than had been raised at any
other point.
