We feel called upon to again attract
the attention of our delinquent sub
scribers to the accounts of long standing
which we hold against them. The sub
scription price of the paper is supposed
to be paid in advance, and the fact that
it is not always done, is all the more
reason why each one should settle up
at the end of the year, at least. These
little amounts are small in themselves,
but make up total Of several hundred
dollars, and the money is needed. Be
kind enough to look upon your indebt-
edness to lis as you do upon any other
business matter, and give it your prompt
attention.

To the Claim Owners Of the Southern
Black Hills.

The suggestion made by Mr.. Cyrus "
Robbins in his open letter to the owners
of claims, seems to be a pointer in the
right direction to settle the question of
there being any gold mines in this part
Of the Hills. We all believe there are
gold mines here, but none Of us are able
to prove il by deep sinking-the only
way it can be proven. Now we have
good reasons TO believe that capital will
not stop here until we can show a mine,
and we cannot do that for we have none
in sight.
Now the object of this circular is to
invite all interested persons 10 meet at
the court house in Custer City, on Sat
urday, March 25th, at 1880 in the even
ing, to formulate plan of operation for

fair commission; w. l.. Dow, architect
of the South Dakota worlds fair build
ing; Major George IL. Mead, Of Sioux
City Fred I. Evans and John Baker,
members Of the commission, came down
from Dead wood last Monday and made
very brief stay in Custer. The south
bound passenger was held fiheep or
twenty minutes longer than usual, and
the governor and party were driven
over TO A. Johnson's place of business
where Clusters exhibit, the miniature
cottage, is being constructed. A great
deal has been said and written about
the Custer exhibit, but those who have
seen it since it has been nearing com.
pletion have been most agreeably sur
prised. The gentlemen who looked il
over SO hastily last Monday evening
were not exceptions to the rule, and i,
was freely predicted that our cottage
would attract as much, if not more at.
tention, than any other feature of the
South Dakota exhibit. Governor Shell.
don stated that he believed the cottage
would bring $4,000 at least, if it is offered
for sale when the exposition is over.
The members Of the party were urged
to remain in Custer until the following
day, but Governor Sheldon felt that it
was his duty to get back to Pierre as
soon as possible, and at $50 they were
on their way to Hot Springs.
