Notice.
AMERICAN TIN.

So many lies have been told about American tin that authentic statements concerning it are worth attention. Colo nel Joseph H. Allen, of Louisville, Ken lucky, well known mining engineer, has been in the Black Hills to examine the tin mines for syndicate of Pennsylvanians Tin was first discovered in the Black Hills in 1877. The area of tin bearing rocks has since that time been constantly ex- tended by discovery and is now known to entirely surround Harney's Peak and ex- tend into the smaller granite areas to the south and west of Custer City, as we'll as entirely throughout the small Archean area west of Deadwood, known as the Mig ger Hill district. The first company to pur- chase and prepare to operate tin mines in the Black Hills was the Harney Peak company. The company for which Colonel Allen worked is the Rapid City company. The properties of this company commence on Iron creek and run northwest, distance of 13,500 feet on the side, the greatest width being $500 feet. The claims are each 1,500 feet in length and 300 in width. Their claim, known as the Brown tin lode, is mountain estimated to con- tain 100000 tons of tin-bearing rocks The apex of this lode is about 200 feet above the watercourse and the outcrop is nearly 300 feet in length and 65 feet in width. The ore will yield an ave- rage of about twenty-five pounds of me- tallic tin to the ton. This entire outcrop shows above water level and can be mined readily at an expense of about thirty cents ton. These and other claims when worked will produce annually large quantity of tin.
 Colonel Allen asserts that, properly opened and equipped, the Black Hills tin deposit should supply by the end of 1893 all the tin required for use in the United States. This will be sad news for the free traders, but they must be getting used to sad news by this time. They have had enough of it lately.

whack from the warders habitually consti- tutes their punishment, and their food comprises, together with other allowances, the enormous daily meat ration of one and quarter pounds, plus a large supply of bread. The traditional rollicking life on the ocean wave" dwindles into dullness compared with life in a convict yard" at Kimberley. They are every night searched to the very skin to prevent them pilfering diamonds.
 Again, no one is allowed to deal in the rough stones without special license; only cut jewels-which exist in very small numbers in Kimberley-are open to free traffic. Were a casual wayfarer to pick up 6 chance diamond on a waste piece of land the retention of it or any attempt to sell it would be penal. Yet, as I have already mentioned, the "I. D. B., !" as it is called illicit diamond burying-is carried on to 8 serious extent, and I could quote one of the most prominently prosperous individ- uals in south Africa, who, as is generally admitted, amassed, in former days. a con siderable sum by the nefarious traffic, and who is now Touring in several public ca pacities, though, according to the rules of justice, he should be behind the bars of a jail. Some years back detectives lighted on a very hotbed of "I. D. B." but were unable to obtain legal proof At the dead of night some disguised members of the force betook themselves to the thieves den and offered for sale & certain number of the precious stones. Only & woman was forthcoming, who handled them, ad- mitted that they were genuine, but pro- fessing herself unable to do any business, restored them to the fictitious sellers. The detectives withdrew bsffled, but were con sidersbly more bsffied the next morning on discovering that the intended victim had so cleverly exercised her sleight of hand as to have substituted her own imf- tation diamonds for the valuable stones originally rendered.

A START MADE AT LAST.

The record of accidents to railroad em- ployes in the United States during the last year is terrible one. Three hundred and sixty-nine brakemen were killed and 7,S41 maimed while coupling cars, and the total number of railroad men killed was 2,461 and the number injured 22,S90. A good-sized battle wouldn't be any more damaging than this. For many years few thoughtful people have lifted up their voices in protest against this needless wounding and killing, and they have re- joiced to have the powerful help of the President of the United States, who in his last message pays special attention to this important matter. And now comes Senator Cullom with @ bill providing for the adoption and use of a uniform standard car coupler and regulating the operation and control of freight trains used in inter State commerce and providing for the greater safety of railroad employees. The bill provides that all common carriers whose duties include the coupling of cars and who are members of established or ganizations of railroad employees may with in six months after the passage of this act vote upon the choice of an automatic car coupler. Such coupler may be of the yer tical type, but must be so devised as to couple by impact, and to dispense with any person going between the cars to couple or uncouple. Every common car rier is to be entitled to vote for every freight car owned, leased o1 controlled, and the employees entitled in the aggregate to one-third as many votes as may be cast by all the com mon carriers, the Interstate Commerce Commission to have the power to decide l upon the validity of the votes cast. If no less than 600, 900 votes have been cast an6 the entire vote for any particular coupler is not less than 500,00O, the commission shall certify these facts to the president
 who shall issue proclamation declaring the coupler chosen to be the standard safety car coupler for use in interstate commerce, and in case no choice is mad
 the President shall appoint a commission of five competent persons to determine tn
 coupler best to be used.
 This is rather curious bill, and it vii
 probably not become law in its presen
 shape. But it is encouraging to see an
 bill with such purpose introduced
 Here's hoping that some suitable and ef
 fective action will be taken at this session
