Attractions of ths Black Hills,

The tourist looking for a variety of
natures attractions can find no place
equal to the Black Hills in furnishing
the same. The pure health-giving air
of this part of the state induces many
visitors to become permanent residents
I 'earness Of the air gives the seen
cry decided pleasing aspect, making
objects visible TO the naked eye at a
distance Of seventy five to one hundred
miles on any ordinary day. Besides
the beautiful scenery of the Hills in
general, there are local attractions in
the various parts, such as the thermal
waters at Hot Springs and Cascade in
this county, which attract health-seeke.s
from all states in the Union, the Wind
cave which rivals Mammoth in magni
tude and surpasses Luray in beauty, the
artificial Sylvan lake near Custer with
its enchanting scenery. the beautiful
views along the different canyons the
Crystal cave near Deadw ood, the minia-
ture representation Of which attracted
so much attention at the worlds fair
last fall. and various other features in
the different parts, making the Black
Hills the most interesting place to visit

take this occasion TO say, in thit
connection, that it affords me o great
deal of qualification to see with what
zeal and united feeling our people have
exhibited towards encouraging this en-.
terprise. 1t augurs well for our future,
and encourages me in thinking that our
people have at last awoke to the consid-
Grafton Of the things that so nearly con-
Germ us. This is rs 1t should be. be-
lieve we will get this plant, and IL we
do. we will get more il our people do
not weary in well doing, for they are .
good company. and once enlisted with
us they will help us to the next one. II
is that kind Of game where one calls
two aud two calls four, and so on. An
other thing we must see to, is that 80 far
as it lies in our power, We ust help
them TO make a success, and We, who
know our own country, should never
encourage capitalists that come among
US. TO invest in anything which we do
not MINK VIII pay, Tor tnev win depes4s
much upon our representation, and a
failure in any one ofthese undertakings,
either in mining, or manufacturing,
might prove disastrous blow, from
which it would take us long time to
recover. Thus shall we pursue our
pathway Of progress steadily, and the
hum of business, and the booming of the
blast from our mines, will admonish us,
that Custer has at last awoke to real
ization of her strength and power.

Situation at Cripple Creek.

A. c. Alexander, the tailor, who at
one time lived and done business in
Lead, arrived here yesterday direct
from Cripple Creek, COL, and gives q
rather discouraging account Of that
mining camp. He says there is scarce
ly anything doing, and that the town 10
kept up on the arrivals, who bring q
little money into the camp, there are
about rs or 100 who come and 60 daily.
There seems to be but small prospects
Of q compromise between the mine
owners and the strikers, a. he says tn
situation satisfies tho mine owners who
are rather waiting for q railroad to be
built into the camp. It now costs about
three dollars ton to take the ore out
TO the reduction plants, and when the
railroad Is built into the camp the cost
will be about SO cents. The road 10
nine miles out and it il thought will be
completed 10 the town in few months.
Mr.. Alexander claims that business Of
oil kinds Is already overdone there
There are nine tsilor SHOPS there and
nothing to do. Mr.. A. has been living
In Sheridan. Wyoming, for the past year,
and has home there, but owing TO the
heavy loss In the stock business recently
the prospects of that town is not bright.

MINING DECISION.

Following is the substance of recent
L. $. supreme court decision in relation
10 the the exception of mines and min
ing from town-site patent: I'm order to
except mineral lands from the operation
OF town-slte patent, they must be
known to be valuable for mining pur-
poses at the date when the patent takes
effect; and il is not sufficient that thew
have once been valuable for mining
purposes, or afterward discovered to be
still valuable therefor. When a quartz
ledge, known 10 be gold-bearing. aud to
have been proftably worked prior to
the acquisition Of a town-site patent in
the year 1859, and not then worked out =,
is situated within the exterior bounda-
ries OF the patent, the rights of the
government and its mining grantees are
not limited to such actual mining or
tunnel possession as may have existed
before the town-site patent, or to any
continuance of mining claim or possess
sion by prior locators or their grantees.
but the government owns and can grant
the right to any quartz mine or gold
bearing ledge which was known TO exist
and to be valuable for minerals before
the town-site patent was obtained, and
which was not worked out when the
town-site patent was obtained and the
rights of a subsequent locator under the
government, by virtue of its reserva-
ton Of the mine, and of the mining acts
Of 1866 and 1872, include a reasonable
quantity of surface for the convenient
working of the ledge, not exceeding SOC
feet on each side thereof"-Dower VS.

NICAR AQUA CANAL FINANCES.
(Nen York Tines

Washington, June lS-Secretary Carlisle
is to render an opinion whether it is advisable
to build the Nicaragua Canal by an issue Of
bonds or to pay for the construction in part
by "a coinage Of the Sei9niorage in the Irca-
Spry.
This question Of the character Of the funds
to he used in building the canal was consider
ed for some time this afternooG at the meeting
Of the special committee which is formulating
a new bill providing for a Government con-
troll of the canal. The discussion developed
the fact that Messrs. Mallory and Geary,
two of the members Of the CO mmittee, Dave
had several consultations with Secretary
Carlisle regarding this matter. 1t Is believed
that the Secretary will favour an issuance
of bonds, and some Of the members OF the
committee feel that, if an attempt be made
to provide funds for the canals construction
by a fresh coinage Of silver, the main ques-
ton VIII then become so entangled with that
Of finance that the bill may be defeated be-
tween the contending factions Of the House.
The committee is making rapid Roadway
with Tho bill, and it will probably assume
definite form this week. 1t was decided at
to-day's meeting that the work Of construc-
ton should be under the supervision Of three
engineer officers Of the amy, and that as
naIy others should be detailed to assist them
as tie necessities Of tic case uiGhtloqulre.
1t was also decided that, while the canal
can be built fol a sum not exceeding
$4,000, 600, there should be an issue Of stock
amounting to $50. 0C0,00 20. OF this amount
the Government will retain S7O,OOO,00
81, 800, 900 viii be given to Costa Rica and
Nicaragua, and S 5 800, COZ to the Maritime
Company in payment for its concessions and in
lieu of all the stock issued Iy it and all the IN
debtedness incurred by it up to the time the
work was suspended.

IL is her bottom. That fouls, particular

TO dock her and clean away the barna-

But docks are not always at hand
Lieutenant Commander Sobree. in dis
cussing this question in the United
States Naval institute, described for the
first time tho scheme worked by the
United States ship Baltimore during
the Chilean trouble. She was not dockod
for 1 / months, and during eight months
Of that time she was in Chilean and
Peruvian waters. Tho Baltimore, after
being dockod at Toulon, France, In Feb
ruary, 1891, sailed for Chile Within
four OF FIVE months after arriving in
Chile she began 70 lose speed ON account
of n foul bottom.
There were in the crew two scame D
gunners, who had qualified rs divers in
the torpedo school at Newport, besides
Peter Hanley, the gunner. who had also
taken the course. IL was decided TO
clean tho bottom Of the Baltimore by
sending down divers. An iron ladder

NO RECONCILIATION.
The Deacons Are Parted Forever. Says Cos
sipy-know. Everything Choliy.


Edward Parker Deacon puts to sleep
all rumors Of an intended reconciliation
between him and his wife, who is said
to le ON her way TO America with her
mother, Mrs. G. II. Baldwin.
Deacon has written to near friend
in Newport that there is no prospect
whatever of his ever seeing Mrs. Deacon
again, much less of his living with her
These are almost the exact words of
Deacon's letter, written from Green
field, Mass, on Sept. 2S.
What is more. he authorized the recip-
lent Of the letter to make its contents
known TO the public through the press.
Deacon is now living in Greenfield
with his daughter, and il may be de-
pended on that he means just what he
says.
Though very quiet man as to his
domestic affairs. he is also very deter.
mined, and it is probable that he would
not make any such statement now if he
had not been driven TO il by repeated
reports that reconciliation is about TO
be effected
The man who has nerve enough TO
kill his wife's paramour as Deacon
killed Mrs Deacon's French lover is
not likely to become reconciled to the
woman. 4.
He may he generous enough 10 let her
go her way in such peace as she may
find, but he can never take her to his
