How They scooped Us.

The first game of ball Of the season
between the old-time rivals, the clubs
OF Custer City and Hill City, was played
on the grounds oftbe latter team q week
ago yesterday afternoon, and the Hill
town aggregation won it by a score OF Is
to IL. Our boys, accompanied by a
number OF citizens of the town, went up
on the Friday morning passenger, and
in order that the game might be
finished before the return train
arrived, it was called at l2:45
p. m. Custer was first to the bat and
with a base on balls, a base hit and an
error succeeded in getting one man
around the diamond. Their opponents
Jared better. making three runs out of
a couple of base hits and a number of
errors. In the second, third and fourth
innings Custer made a total of FIVE runs,
and Hill City had tied the score when she
laid down the bat at the close Of the
fourth. The fifth and sixth resulted in
goose eggs for Custer, but Hill batted
out two runs in the sixth and took the
lead, keeping it until the end. In the
next three innings the visitors scored
FIVE times, but the home team went
them considerable better and in the
seventh and eighth, ten of their men
crossed the home plate, and the game
was won with hands down. NJ. A.
Willis pitched the first three innings for
Custer and did very good work. In the
fourth Grantham went into box and up
to the eighth inning, the hits made off
him were few and scattered, but in that
fatal eighth he lost control of the ball
and seyen runs was the result, with
only one tnan out. Ben Long was put
in the box then, and after one more run
had been scored the side was retired.
The game during the first sever innings
was very closely contested, and no one
felt like backing up with very much
money, his opinion as TO the outcome.
Pitcher Graniham has had very little
practice this season, and his arm was
not in condition TO stand a continued
strain. Had he been relieved by Willis
or Long in the beginning of the eighth
the result might have been different, and
instead the bough of cypress which
the boys brought home with them
might have been a wreath Of victory in
stead. But then, it was only a friendly
game, no money was sacrificed, so what's
the odds? The unpiring by Judge Feay
gave universal satisfaction. Only once
or twice were his decisions questioned,
and then the kickers were soon con-
yincpl of their error

PICK UPS.

The Custer team was treated royalty
at the hands of the Hill City boys and
the business men of that town. Our
people should remember that when the
Hill town aggregation visits rs.
Hill City has a first-class diamond but
the outfield ismiserable. II is almost inn
possible to get a long fly, and an ordinary
two base hit is liable to cross the rail-
road track and any number of ditches.
Custer has now one of the best teams
| she has ever been able TO get together.
Care and judgment in placing the men
will make the club just about invincible
among amateurs.
Our outfeld is perfect. Not a single
decent fly was missed during the entire
game, and Frink's left hand catch after
a long run was rs brilliant u play as was
ever seen on any ground.
The Black Hills don't contain a better
all-round player than Benny Long, Gus
ter's short stop. He Is good for any kind
Of a ~ball-high, low or indifferent, and
his record at the bat is nothing TO be
ashamed OF.
"Hod" Ross continues TO put up his
| old reliable game behind the bat. He
caught the entire nine innings Friday
with a very sore hand, but he never
squealed.
The boys need n little more regular
practice. There is nothing like II TO
enable them TO play good ball.
Hill City sports think ii rather strange
that we always drop the games when
there is no money on them.
The Hill town team this year is made
up Of good fellows who know how to
| play bali and tend strictly to business.
They know how to entertain visitors
too.
Geo. Coats, who does the twirling for
Hill, puts mp a great game. Our boys
touched him up rather freely. but he is
just as steady in the ninth inning as in
the first, and is very eirectuai at vital
| points in the game.
The s~printing ability Of Frink and
Johns came in very handy. Their steals
Of bases were great.
Ed Martin knocked q foul and his
fellow players gave him three hearty
cheers, announcing that that was the
first pitched ball he had touched in
years.
Palmer, Hill City's third baseman, IL
the best all round man they haye ia the
team. He made q record OF three runs
without an out, and the way he caught
base runner was q caution.
Landlord r. +. Thompson. of the
Harvey Peak Hotel, showed the Custer
visitors every courtesy. He runs a first
| class house in first class style.
At the depot just before the boys de-
parted for home, b. r. Wood was called
upon for a speech. Mounting a dry
goods box he thanked the good people
of Hill City for their hospitality, and
invited them all to visit Custer and al
low Us to reciprocate. In closing b egot in

Mining Itenis.

Preparations are being made TO ship a
car load of ore from the Old Charley
mine, at Four Mile. to the works Of the
Denver Gold and silver Extraction Go.
The ore is being mined and selected THE
week and viii probably be loaded and
shipped the first Of next. The rock viii
be carefully treated by the Macarthur

suit ofthe test viii have q great deal TO
do with the future operations Of tie

The Deadwood smelter has now a
daily capacity Of 800 tons. In conversa-
ton with n Republican reporter, Dr..
Carpenter stated that they we're smelt-
ing rock from the Iron Hill, Seabury-
Calkins, Queen, Bullion, Maggie, Calu-
met, Double Standard, Bristol and
Spokane, all Of which are Black Hills
mines. The smelter never shuts down
while there is any ore on hand.
TEMEscAL TIS A FAILURE.
A San Francisco special of the 10th
says: The Examiner publishes the re-
port of a mining expert showing that
the famous Temescal tin mipes at San
JacinU, San Bernadino county, are a
failure. The mines began operation in
April. 1891, and were expected TO pro-
dUce from 100 to 200 tons Of ingot of tin
per month; instead. they now are pro-
dueing only from nine TO ten tons aud
there is little ore in sight. Two million
dollars have been expended by English
stockholders in developing the mines
and the cost Of operation has recently
been $1,000 per month above receipts.
The superintendent has gone to London
to lay the facts before the company.
Black Hills tin experts will not be
surprised at thi intelligence. Those
who have seen samples from San Jacin-
ty found it hard to believe tina, the red
dish stone contained any tin whatever.
The Temescal ores do not even resemble
those of Harvey Peak, Niger Hill, or
the Cornwall mines.-Rapid Republi-
