A Trip TO the Keystone Mine.

EDITOR CHRONICLE.
In pursuance OF my present line Of
work, !. e., the collection Of minera. for
the worlds fair, made visit to the
now famous Keystone gold mine of the
Southern Black Hills. As most Of your
readers are doubtless aware, the mine
is located in Pennington county, OH
Battle creek. about two miles north of
the line which forms the boundary be-
tween Custer and Pennington counties.
Several years had passed since my
last visit to this locality, and was sur
prised and gratified to see the extent of
the improvements which haye taken
place. Many small buildings have been
put up, and still in course of construc-
ton, together with some of more
substantial character.
met many OF the old timers from the
different camps of the Hills, mostly en-
gagged in developing their different loca-
tions in this vicinity, with all the un-
daun ted hope and courage which char
acterized them in the early days. ] was
accompanied on this trip by our fellow
townsman, Mr.. Chas. Crary.
We were well received by the Supt. Of
he Keystone, Mai. Jack Simmons, who
gave us every assistance in his power
aiding us i'm our work. He directed his
foreman, Mr.. Ike Downing. to show as
through the mine, which he did, ans
wering all our questions in very satis-
factory and kindly manner. The Key
stone is probably the best developed
gold mine in the Southern Hills at this
time, as was told that over 400 feet
all together in tunnels. shafts. cross-cuts
and wines had been run in the devsl-
opment of this property. This has been
deemed sufficient for the present, and
work in the mine will be discontinued
until the mill is completed. The erec-
ton of the mill under the direction OF
Mr.. John Christensen, (who has built
quite number Of the best mills in the
Hills) is being pushed with all possible
energy, giving employment at this time
to about % men. The ore in the mine
is quite varied in character. The vein
las disclosed by the! workings is full 4C
feet wide, the centre or core of which ID
q blue tale. rich in free gold, while the
whole OF the vein matter Is of a talcose
nature, full of fine pyrite, easily con
centrated, and carrying gold in paying
quantities. What this ore will go. TAX
ing the grand average across the vein,
do not know, and cannot say. and no,
being there TO examine for that purpose
I made no tests, and II is not my pro
vince to guess at 1t. Twill say, however
that the ore looks good, 1t is for ths
most part a mispickle or arsenical pyrite
which is, according to my experience
the highest grade of pyrite found in thil
country. Another thing which 9arguei
well for the success of the enterprise, Il

John +. Street made wonderful rec
ord during the nine months he was in
the treasurer's office in the year 1890.
When he went into the Office he found
100000 in the treasury, and when he
stepped out he took his successors re-
ceipt for over $4,000. In the nine
months he paid out thousands of dollars,
stopping an immense amount of interest,
and raising the price of warrants seven
per cent. Though nominated for an
other term by the republ leans Of the
county, he staid right at his post, look
ing after the peoples interests, while
his enemies circulated the infamous lies
that beat him by thirteen votes. The
people are not ungrateful when they
learn the facts, and they will vindicIte
Mr.. Street at the polls next month.

its face against tho stovo, burning 1t Sc.
riously. In its fall it narrowly missed
falling intoa large vessel filled with
boiling water. Had it fallen into tho
water the result must have been fatal.

laf. l know
But anyhow pleases me to hear the roosters
