them. There are only few of that

for the inspection of Mr.. Rhodes when
he returns from the east next Friday.
The engines are designed for heavy
work on the grades in the Black Hills

Gilbert Flanagan, officers and directors
and principal stockholders of the Har.
ney Peak Mining and Manufacturing
company, arrived in Chicago Yesterday
after q six days visit or Inspection
through their tin mine claims in the
Black Hills. With the party is J. s.
Childs, a mine operator and expert of
San Francisco. Mr., Childs made a
thorough inspection Of the deposits. and
before he left for Chicago he accepted
the superintendency Of the mines. and
will at once take up his headquarters in
the mining district.
II wouldn't have undertaken the man
agement of the mines had not been
convinced there is tin obtainable in paw
ing quantities" said Mr.. Childs. as he
told the story Of his investigations and
discoveries while he was at the Rich
elieu yesterday. The company has
over 100 mining claims, and what we
have taken out thus far will average
over 2 per cent, and that is very rich.
considering that the Cornwall miners
work tin mines that average but l per
cent Of tin. have with me specimens
that will average % per cent tin, and
the block unworked tin will go as high
as 10 per cent. THIS is no tin plate lie.
either. Now, just because Of the rich
ness so far discovered | will not say
positively that we can continue taking
out tin that will pay. We are working
but six Of the claims and have gotten
down but 200 feet on the average. We
haven't tunneled out beyond the main
shafts either, and what is below the
point already reached we cannot say, al-
though there is no doubt in my mind
tin can be gotten 1000 feet below the
surface. At any rate we will know
positively in a year whether the mines
can be successfully worked. On my re-
turn to the Hills mining machinery will
be at once bought to convert the ore
into tin. We have 200 men now at
work getting the ore out and will have
1000 by next year"
"Will the new tariff help the in
dustry?"
1T will, but we can produce tin with
out the tariff, and our product will be as
cheap as the English tin. or course
tariff will help any new industry, and it
will aid US in that it will make il profit
able for US to work up the low grade
ores. If the tax were removed, how
ever, we would go right on getting out
ore just the same"

a mining expert for j. y. Haggin and

Safe Breakers.

A bold robbery took place in this city
Tuesday morning. About five O'Clock
the nightshift at Casler & McCulloch'f
saloon closed for the night, leaving
about $40 in the safe. When the day
shift opened the doors at 6 80 o'clock
they found that some ORE had removed
the glass from rear window, entered
the room, opened the safe and stolen the
money with the exception of one lonely
quarter. The safe is an antiquated af

Miners Protest.

At meeting of the miners Of the
squaw creek silver mines held at p. F.
Mcmahon & Co.'S store on Wednesday
evening June. 1891, the following pro
test of indignation was unanimously
adopted. every miner in the camp be-
ing present.
We the miners and citizens of the inn.
mediate vicinity of the Spokane silver
mine, in miners meeting assembled here
with most indignantly protest against
the groundless and unscrupulous action
recently brought against Sylvester Judd,
John F. Shafer and j. n. Wright the
rightfil owners Of the Spokane silver
mine by Andrew Johnson and others.
We believe the action to be prompted
and instigated by pettifoggers who
would sacrifice truth, justice, virtue and
all the honest rewards Of the toll of
others. to fvrce the rightful owners Of
the mine to sacrifice or compromise.
We know that the complainant has sworn
to certain statements that are destitute
Of o shadow of truth and thoroughly
inconsistaht with previous statements
and earnest claims made by Johnson and
Jacoby to miners in our camp. Further,
the country staked by few men who
will do nothing but relocate year
after year, at midnight on January lst,
is never improved, this has been the UNI
questionable history of the complain
ants in this case. We believe the time
has come to put stop to further back
Gaping, preventing the development of
the mines of the Southern Hills, The
tmineiE question is not the special in
| terest in our camp, the common interest
of all are at stake, tits true many Of us
hone to earn opr daily bread by the
products Of the first OF a line Of produc-
ing mines of the Southern Hills and
should perverted justice have this clos
ed up, what encouragement Is there for
the honest prospector or the energetic
miner.
The litigation ofthis mine. like tina
of all others, means tying it mp from
active development, putting brake on
our busy car of progress, injufing alike
the interest of the ranches, the mechan-
/ les, the merchant, the miner and all
others engaged in legitimate business,
while It increases only the lucre Of the
lawyer. In the Justice Of our indig-
nation we appeal to every citizen of tho
| Black Hills and we feel confidenteyery
honest heart with us will cheerfully ac-
cord. BY motion the secretary was In
structed to have copies Of this protest
sent TO the different papers Of the Black

All the Farmers alliances in South
Dakota, so far as heard from, have ar
rayed themselves against the $4,000
appropriation for an exhibit at the
Columbian exposition, and it begins to
look as though a special session Of the
legislature would not be called for that
purpose. The tax for each individual
farmer is very small matter, too in
significant in fact to be thought of for a
moment, when the benefits of such an
exhibit to the new state are taken into
consideration. During the legislature
last winter when a bill was introduced

some mathematically inclined member
calculated that every farmer who pad
taxes on l60 acres of land would only
pay 35 cents for South Dakota's exhibit
at the worlds fair. Now only $4,000 is
asked and the farmers tax on 100 acres
would be only IN cents. Thus it would
appear that the South Dakota Farmers
alliances are making great ado about
nothing. Sioux City Journal.

Mining Items.

Twelve men are now employed at the
Tenderfoot tin camp, near this city,
under the direction of Foreman ID. w.
McFadden, of this place. 1t is very
probable that the force will be materi-
ally increased in the near future, and
that work will soon be resumed at the
Tin Reef, flora and Ruby camps ada
cent to this place.
A new silver camp is said to be ma
terializing four miles southwest of the
Judd camp, which bids fair to become
the equal Of any camp in the Hills.
Surface indications are said to be most
favorable, and so far as development
has extended, results haye been highly
satisfactory. The new camp is distant
from this city about nine miles. and the
outlook for another bustling silver camp
in that rich region is exceedingly hope
full. At this writing it is not difficult to
see that the Southern Hills are per-
ccptibly moving to the front.
TIE BLUE BIRD.
Charles Harbach, prominent mine
owner of this city, is now engaged in
the development of what promises to
become one of the most valuable gold
properties in the Black Hills. The claim
is located IL miles southeast of Custer,
and is known as the Blue Bird lode,
uhich 10 ona Of a crour, of thraa claim,
all Of which are of the most promising
character. The ore is of the refractory
order, but yields readily to treament.
The vein is Of enormous width, being
more than $50 feet wide. with well de-
fined granite and quartaite walls. AT
present four men are employed in sink
ing working shaft, which number will
be increased next week. The outlook
for successful results have never been
more favorable In the development OF
any Black Hills mine, and further re-
ferences to this very promising mining
enterprise will be made in the CHRoS
IcLE as the work progresses.
sQUAw CREEK.
Stewart and Dave Thompson returned
from this section yesterday, and report
that the statements heretofore publish
ed in regard to the Judd, or Spokane
lode, were not at all exaggerated. The
shaft on this property is down some
thirty odd feet, from which drifts have
been run on the ledge, which is about four
feet. wide. and we'll defined between

ore pm the dump, out Of which seven

gratifying results to the owners. The

The True Issue.

Senator Carlisle ia the course Of
letter directed to Congressman
Warner, speaker Of the great issues
that divide the two great political
parties Of this county says:
at is unfortunately true that
there is disposition 10 some quar-
tiers to subordinate the question Of
tariff reform to others which are IN
my opinion far less important to
the people, aud far more dangerous
to the harmony and success OF the
Democratic party. Upon the tar
if question we are practically united
while upon the silver question, and
perhaps upon some others, there
are wide and honest differences OF
opinion among members of our own
party-differences which can be rec
onciled only by patient deliberation
and the exercise Of liberal spirit
OF forbearance.
"Why shall we, on the eve, OF u
great national contest, when a VIC
tory is almost within our grasp,
abandon or ignore vital issue,
upon which we are united, and
waste our strength in fruitless
controversy among ourselves over
questions which can be adjusted af-
ter it has been determined what
part of their own earnings the pep
pie shall be permitted to keep! Let
US DO one thing at time, and all
things in their proper order. The
frat duty OF the Democratic party
aud OF all who sympathize with it,
is TO change the laws under which
the earnings Of the people are taken
away from them by unjust taxation
for private purposes, and whoever
proposes to postpone the perform
ance OF this duty in order to inaug-
urate war among ourselves, over
the silver question, or any other
question, is not wise counsellor,
and would not make safe leader.
