Material contest has at last been render
ed, and Boyd is declared the legally
elected governor of Nebraska. The
court holds that Boyd'G father was q
citizens beyond all doubt, and that the
admission of Nebraska into the union
made citizens of the residents of that

yield up, but the old man has made his
opponent earn the honors.

The artificial production Of rain, to-
gether with irrigation, bids fair to
greatly increase in value every acre of
land in the Black Hills that may be
used for agricultural purposes. Another
season or two will witness a desirable
increase of the farming class and every
valley and fertile spot nesting in the
shadows of f'these great Hills will be
rich with growing crops. Each ton of
hay and each bushel Of grain Of home
production will mean so many less to
ship in, so many more dollars kept in
circulation at home. There is 10 danger
of foyerproduction, The increase in the
number of the consumers will be still
more surprising.

NIGGKR HILL TIN.

The richest tin ore ever discovered in
America is without doubt now in sight
in the workings Of the various mines Of
this district, This is especially true Of
the property consisting of Is claims)
known as the American Tin Mining
company, two-thirds OF which is owned
by Titus Molitor, John Treber and Ed
Grosfeld, the other third being owned
by the Cleveland Tin Mining company.
Ono of the best developed claims in the
group is called the Uncle Sam, on which
an 80 foot shaft has been sunk showing
we'll defined vertical vein of Greisen
tin bearing rock six feet in width be-
tween granite walls. A sack Of the ore,
being general average Of the vein, was
presented to the Times yesterday and it
now occupies conspicuous place in the
Office cabinet. 1t is estimated that there
are now on the dumps OF the various
claims owned by the company. between
three and four thousand tons of tin ore
that will run from to 80 per cent metallic
tin per ton. All of the claims are con
tiguous and show the same character of
ore, all Of them being located along the
course of the vein which developments
fully prove. The tin bearing ground, SO
far az opened, shows that it II some
by miles in extent, every foot of which
before long will prove fully as valuable
as though underlaid with gold or silver.
Nearly every claim in the district is still
in the hands of the original locators
who have managed to do their annual
assessment work for many years past.
The result of this work is now apparent
in the immense amount Of ore now In
sight. In all probability the coming
season will see some kind of works put
up in the district to treat its ores.--

HARVEY PEAK.

In response to request, the Financial

As our contemporary, the Black Hills
Times, is Of the opinion that it were but
Justice TO the resident mining engineers
of Deadwood" that we should give the
name of the engineer in that quarter
who had reported unfayorably Of the
Harney Peak Tin Mining company's
ultimate outcome az a mining venture,
we are authorized to state that the
name given us from Pittsburg is that Of
Maurice Barnett.
As the Times has heretofore stated
Barnett was never known here as
mining engineer" He was brought
here by the management OF the d. x d.
smelter, and was in their employ for a
brief period az an assayer and srnelter
Not giving satisfaction in that line his
engagement was cancelled. Afterward
he became associated with certain resi-
dent parties who proposed the erection
of large custom smelter at Rapid or
Piedmont, the realization Of which is
very improbable. r. G. Lake, banker
Of Rapid, was interested in the scheme,
but on reading certain letters from the
chemist of the Aurora smelter in regard
to Barnett, he withdrew from it. A
few days thereafter Barnett went east,
and has not been heard from since. All
he ever knew in regard to the Harvey
Peak company was derived from hear
say. he himself never having seen the
property Dead wood Times.

vein of fine sand carbonates, assaying

The excitement at Creede, Colo, the
new mining camp on the Rio Grapdc
railway, is intense. People are fiocking
from all parts of the country and large
city of rough board houses has sprung
up in a short time. The mines are
something wonderful and almost equal
to those of Leadville in its best days
David II. Mofat was offered 81 100000
by an English company to bond the
Holy Moses mine at Creede, but refused
to do SO. Since the first prospect hole
was started at Creede, nine months ago,
there has been S5,O0000O worth of ore
taken from the mines there. although
everything is new and undeveloped as
yet. To-day L. z. Dickson, Henry X.
