Deadwood.A Placers.

The Dsadwood Times in its last issue says:
Placer mining on lower Whitewood is receiv-
ing more attention this season than for many
years or since the first days OF the Hills when
quartz mining was unknown and gulch or
placer mining was about the only industry
known. From the early part of 1876, when
mining was first begun, until 1879, number
of very fine claims were worked, and In the
aggregate an enormous amount of money was
taken out In the course Of four years the
richest streaks were worked out and the old
umers who had taken out "big money" left
the diggings and scattered about, engaging
in various pursuits. During all the yeara
since then, however, q few men have re-
mained there aud have managed to make .
comfortable living and . little more perhaps.
Last spring fully 25 men, new to the gulch,
have gone in there and worked over the old
ground In many places, and made new dis
soverles. One man has been making about
40 per week, and the others have cleaned up
amounts which ranged down to e per day.
There is still large area Of ground unoccu-
pied that will no doubt pay wages to indus
rious men.

The Railroads willing to Haul People
to Chics go For One Cent Per Mile.
The lines in the Western Passenger Assoei-
alton have finally seen grea. light Some
of them saw it long ago but othen did not,
and those who saw It reaped no benefit be-
cause of their clearer vision. The enormous
amount of travel brought on by the one cent
per mile rate dor Chicago Day has been
without parallel in the history Of railroads,
and the lines no. see that the low rates bring
the people, bring them in swsrms and droves,
bring them so tha, 1t will be all that the rail-
roads can do to haul them. This state Of sf
fairs the roads naturally desire TO keep up
until the close of the fair, aud at Thursdays
meeting of the Western Passenger Associa-
ton action was taken which means that the
one cent rate will continue for the remainder
of the exposition.
The roads agreed that all the roads could,
BY giving five days notice, put in the Chicago
Day rate for the balance of the fair. They all
gave the notice and the sale of tickets at one
cent per mile will be resumed on October Is.
The tickets will be good on all trains but In
coaches only until November 18th. The
holders will not be entitled TO sleeping or
dining car privileges. This resolution, how
ever, bids fair 10 be removed within = abort
