Mining Items.

Mr. +. M. Hughes returned last week
from a prospecting trip in the limestone
range. He reports among other finds
some Of which may eventually prove TO
be mines-an agate quarry, which, with
development. may turn out to be a
valuable acquisition The specimens
left at this Office are a beautiful blend
ing Of yarigated colors, and different
from anything we have heretofore seen
in this locality.
Henry Long and Captain FL. G. Clay
leave in a day or two for the east. Mr..
Long represents the Missouri and Ken
lucky parties who, with local capitalists,
have bought Taylor Il Hamilton's Buck
eye Group placer ground at mill site at
Union Hill, four miles from Hill City.
They go east to make arrangements for
immediate development. Union Hill is
undoubtedly on the same lode as the
Keystone. The rock is very similar in
appearance and some specimens are
encrusted with rich free gold. Mr.. Long,
who has had over fifteen years expert
ence In mining, is satisfied with the
purchase and though he volunteers
little information. clearly means busi-
ness.--Republican.
THE SOUTHERN HILLS.
Judging from reports and newspaper
accounts prospecting in the Southern
Hills has received quite an impetus this
season by the developments in the Key
stone and other mines. That there are
rich deposits of both silver and gold in
that section cannot be doubted. Many
properties have been worked there. but
mainly owing to extensive and Ill judg-
ed development few have as yet pro-
duced much. Attention OF miners has
mainly been centered in the properties
contiguous to Deadwood, and what pros
pecting has been done in the Southern
Hills has for the most part been by
men who haye had no experience in
that line. The Silver City, Jim Creek,
Battle Creek, Castle Creek and Custer
districts should, according to all geologi-
cal experience, contain just as rich and
extensive mines as the districts of the
Northern Hills. All that is needed is
intelligent prospecting, and that is what
they are receiving this year.-Pioneer.

The National Game.

ho Nhtiouhl OhAle.
A number Of the base ball enthusiasts
of The city got together in Stones barber
shop, a few evenings ago, and proceeded
TO organize, electing officers as follows
for the season:
President-D. w. McFadden.
yice-president--J n. Pitcher.
Secretary-Ed. l.. Grantham.
Treasurer-T. V. Garlock.
II was decided that an executive com
mittee should be created, to consist OF
the president, secretary and treasurer,
and two others to be chosen from the
members of the organization. A. r.
Feay and NJ. A. Willis were appointed
members OF the committee.
The purpose OF the society is to organ
ize as strong team as Is possible from
the players Of Custer City and vicinity,
and arrange for number Of games with
the other clubs of the Hills, during the
summer and fall. The town has any
number of good players and without
doubt a nine can be brought together
that will cope successfully with any
amateur combination in the Black Hills.
New suits. balls, bats and mltts will be
purchased, and 1t is expected that the
team will be ready in a short time to
extend and accept challenges, and play
ball in earnest for money, marbles or
chalk. During the meeting Judge Feay
read letter which he had received
from the captain Of Hill City club,
challenging the Custer boys to play
them game on the Fourth, at the
former place, for purse OF S25. As our
boys did not wish to leave home on the
Fourth. it was decided TO decline the
invitation unless the game could be
played here.
A PRACTICE GAME.
The game between team from Point
of Rocks and picked up nine from this
city, which was announced last week,
came off at the ball park east of town,
Sunday afternoon, and while the most
OF the home team hardly touched ball
this season, they won by score of 29
to 4.
The boys from Rocks went to bat in
the first :nning and succeeded in getting
one Of their number around the diamond
before they were sent TO the field, and
that Was the only score credited TO them
until they went to bat in the ninth in
ming, when they spurted and scored
three men. Custer made from l TO 8
runs in each of the first eight innings,
but in the ninth inning got careless and
were given goose egg. The game
throughout was marked by rank errors,
with an occasional brilliant play, but
nothing else could be expected under
