seem all the more sad, as her friends
could not follow her to her last resting

broken over the loss Of their darling

soften their grief we can assure them of
our deepest sympathy, and all will join
in extending sincere regrets to the be-
reaved family May they take comfort
in Hin who says, "suffer little children
to come unto me-"

The Rapid City Journal publishes an
article On the bright mining outlook
that will be OF interest. 1t says that
the period of depression following the
first rush and excitement in any mining
country, which old, experienced roiners
tell us is inevitable. seems to have
passed. There is more interest mani
tested in the mining industry of the
Black Hills at the present time than at
any time since the hurrah days of 1876
and 1877. From every mining district
come reports Of areyiyal of prospecting,
while the bullion producing mines are
yielding more heavily than ever before.
The tin mines are about to be tested
with reduction machinery, with every
prospect Of success, and the industries
which will be built up IN tin production
alone will almost bevond question be
enormous. Copper AMI iron mines are
being quietly developed, some of ahem
showing up large todies Of ore of high
grade. which will certainly be worked
when the Dakota, Wyoming e Missouri
River railroad lis completed to connec-
ton with the Burlington system, offer-
Jog facilities for the transportation Of
the ores. New machinery is being in.
troduced for reduction of silver ores,
and investigation establishes the fact
that silver mines OF value have been
opened and are being worked in districts
where a short time ago this valuable
mineral was not known to exist in pay
ing quantities. .
