1t turns out that Col. Richard Lee,
formerly resident of this city, was a
citizen of whom Custer should have
been proud His recent comings and
goings have been carefully noted by the
Black Hills press, and according to the
Deadwood Times, his latest pose is as a
public benefactor. To the Times editor
the colonel writes as follows:
Out Of the sale of stock Of the Gener-
al U. y Grant company will put por-
ton OF the money aside for the purpose
OF building Black Hills home for dis

THE UNION HILL.

W.o. Temple who recently visited
the Union Hin property four miles
north of Hill City tells the, Republican
that Superintendent Logan is steadily
pushing the tunnel into the hill where
at 800 feet he expects TO strike the
ledge. The face is now in 230 feet and
several thin veins have been cut in the
process. An open cut and shaft have
been sunk sixty feet on the vein at
about 100 feet from the apex Of the hill,
and winze will be run up from the
tunnel when it reaches point beneath.
The shaft exposes large body of gray
rock carrying pyrites rich in gold. The
owners will meet next week At Paris,
Mo-, for the purpose oforganizing stock
company. No mill will be erected until
the mine is fully developed, but constant
work Of several months past has done
much toward the accomplishment Of
this result.-Republican.

about ten miles east Of Custer A Mr..
Wright, of Hot Springs, was given the
credit for making the discovery, and it
was claimed that in developing claim
] which he had taken some time ago, he
had uncovered an immense body Of
fabulously rich ore. Last Monday F. A.
Towner and 5. ID. Porter, Of this place,
drove down into the neighborhood
where the strike was reported to have
been made, and after their return two
days later, Mr.. Towner was interviewed
on the subject by CHRONICLE reporter.
That gentleman informs us that he and
his companion found everything quiet
down there, and about the only mining
that is going on, is on one claim, where
sixty foot shaft has been sunk. This
70 ne property owned by the Mr..
Wright mentioned. The miners have a
good body of fair looking ore, though it
is Of the most refractory character found
in the Hills The assays made were Of
pulp or concentrates. and that fact ac-
counts for the nigh figures in which the
returns were written. In Mr.. Towner's
opinion the prospect does not compare
with many Of those much closer TO Gus
ter, and there is nothing to warrant ex-
cItement or a stampede.
The impression is gaining strength
among the members Of the agricultural
population Of the Hills, that our soil and
climate arc especially adapted to the
production of the sugar beet, which has
been raised with such splendid results
in other states of the west. A consider
able amount of sugar beet seed was dis
'ributed among the ranchers this spring,
and number of them are experiment
ing vith il this summer. II, as a result
of these tests, it is demonstrated that
the sugar beet can be successfully pro
duced in this part of Custer county, il
will undoubtedly become an established
and, extensive industry and sugar fac
tory will be erected in Custer City. Our
information comes from parties who are
in position TO bring about these very
desirable results in case the experiments
Of this season prove satisfactory.

the Pilot quill must look elsewhere foi
the advertising he apparently crayes
Not in reply to the writer Of the idiotic
structures in question, but for the benefit
of those who might be misled because
Of their unfamiliarity with the facts, We
vouchsafe the following explanation
In the issue of the CHRONICLE of July LIST
We gaye the Hermosa celebration a
trifle less than half q column Of gratuitous
advertising. We referred to it as the
most extensive demonstration which
was to be made in Custer county this
year; published the program in full,
and suggested that those of our readers
who had not planned to 60 elssS bere
should spend the Fourth at Hern,xa.
The exact inngnsge IN wfien tie svS
gestion was made, was "if you have no.
where else 10 go, go to Hermosa." Had
we been disposed to disparage the re-
suits of the enterprise of Hermosa's
citizens. We certainly would not have
referred to it az ".hc mos. extensive
celebration in Custer county this year."
nor would We have advertised it by the
publication OF the program. The in
ability on the part Of the editor of the
Pilot to see and understand this. proves
him the victim of a degree of obtuseness
as incurable as it is tamentable.

TILE CARIROr

Last year, soon after the Keystone
company had partially demonstrated the
fact that the immense gold deposits of
the Southern Black Hills could be sue
cessfully mined and treated, a party of
Nebraska gentlemen visited the new
camp with view to investment should
they find any property to suit them.
These gentlemen, Hon. s. NJ. Wahlbach,
Of Grand Island, a member of the state
senate, Mr.. G. H. Thummell, q promi.
nent citizen Of Grand Island, both of
whom are prominent mining men, to-
gether with Mr.. P. O'Keefs, an old I'm
ion Pacific railroad man, and Thos. G.
Blair of Keystone, after thoroughly
prospecting the camp, invested their
money in the Caribou group of mines.
This group consists of four claims lying
parallel to each other, making about
forty acres covering a space 1900 feet IN
length by 1900 feet in width. situated
about one-nalf mile south of the Key
stone company's works. The contour OF
the ground is such that cross-cut tun-
mel driven from one Of the side claims
attains a depth of 400 feet below the
surface. This method Of development
of the property was adopted when the
work began three months ago and has
SO far resulted in large we'll timbered
working tunnel los feet in length,
through an almost continuous ore body.
The result of many tests Of this ore has
convinced the owners that, while it is
low grade, they have with economical
business management, something better
than q bonanza; mine that will. when
developed to q practical working basis,
produce constant, sure and steady in
come more reliable than bank. They
believe they have the best property yet
opened on the belt. The work 90 far
has been done by contract but here
after Mr.. Blair, having disposed Of his
mercantile business, will devote his en-
tire attention to the development Of this
property. The owners of this group
have sufficient capital to make all nec-
essary improvements in the way of mills
and machinery for reducing the ore,
and while proceeding in q systematic
manner to open up an abundant supply
Of ore, as necessary preliminary meas
ure. the mill will be built In due time
and will become one more important
permanent institution in the coming
center Of the Hills.--Tin Miner.
