A petition, addressed to congress and
asking that claim holders be exempted
from assessment work for a period OF
two years. was circulated in Custer this
week, but received very few signatures
Thursday a remonstrance was drawn up
and circulated, and up to last evening it
had been signed by about one hundred
mine owners, prospectors and business
men. The movement originated IN
Colorado where the silver industry has
been paralyzed by the condition of the
market and prospects of adverse legis-
lation. Here in the Hills it is rightly
believed by the great majority that
legislation such as is prayed for in the
first petition would deprive hundreds OF
Of the employment given them by
the large mining companies every year,
and seriously impede the progress of the
mining industry.

What might have been a serious &C
cident happened at the residence of
Mrs. Weir on Tuesday evening. As
Miss Cowdery, the bright and popular
young lady from Lincoln, Neb., was
descending the stairs. she from some
cause-probably heart trouble from
which she is supposed to be slightly af-
fected-became dizzy, and losing her
balance was precipitated to the floor
below. 1t was thought at first that she
had received very serious injuries, as
she lay in a semi-conscious state for
some time, but through the united exer-
tions of Mrs. Flick and Jessie Weir she
soon regained her normal condition.
and we are happy to state has entirely
recovered except for a slight nervous
prostration induced by the fright and
excitement naturally attending the ac-
cident.

THE CYANIDE PLANT

h
Quite n force of men are at work grad,
ing, framing and raising timbers at the
new cyanide plant in the first ward
The main building which will be 6SxlIC
feet, is going up rapidly, the stills and
part of the frame being in place. The
work progresses pretty well. The fore.
man ofthe work stated yesterday that
no less than twenty miners have been
down there, claiming they had sent
down to MCGEE & Daegling all the way
from five to twenty tons of ore for treat
ment, and they would like TO get it back.
There vas a little pile of ore left by the
former owners of the mill, and each
miner was positive that was his prop
erty. Water for the new mill will be
obtained from the we'll sunk by MCGEE
& Daegling, but should it fail to supply
the quantity needed, a drift will be run
into the hill to tap several of the springs
known to be in there.-Times.
HARNEY TIN WORKS TO START UP.
We realize, fully, that this statement
has become "chestnutty" to our readers,
having been periodically made since
operations ceased at the plant, but
nevertheless the news is always welcome
when based upon authority. j. 8.
Chllds, superintendent, went east on
Monday and 10 at New York now. It is
positively known that he was called
thither to get instructions regarding the
future course of procedure, and that he
will arrive at Hill City on September
4th with orders to start up very soon
Being asked as to the condition of the
mines, he asserted that there was an
immense amount of good ore in sight,
enough to last a number Of years and
with careful management car be work
ed to Q large profit. The fact is we'll
known that the company has kept the
mines pumped out, a large force Of men
at work prospecting and blocking ont
the ore bodies, and has paid the B. 4 M.
company $50 a day for an engine at the
works, which has remained idle, and
all this has cost $1,000 a month. Those
facts cannot be disputed. Besides this
company is having several new boilers
and pieces Of machinery built now,
will be delivered in a short time.
We feel perfectly secure In predicting
that the plant will be in. full operation
