The Military Ball.

Notwithstanding the fog, which was
so dense on Monday evening as 70
render the street parade Of the Guards
mpracticab!e, and the copious down
pouring Of the rain which followed later
on, the court house hall WAS the scene
of one of the best paironized and most
enjoyable social occasions ever expert
enced in Custer. 1t was peculiarly
fortunate that the rain storm was, by
some potential governing power with
held until after all of the participants in
being served within the building, and
the rain ceasing before the close of the
dance, there was really no inconveni-
ence experienced, in this direction, the
happy throng scarcely realizing the fact
of there being storm in pressssa- The
guards were out in force, and in theil
bright new uniforms presented a most
attractive appearance.
The hall was most artistically decorat-
ed, rejecting much credit upon the
ladies having this pleasing feature in
charge; the supper was exceptional
both in the variety and quality of the
edibles served; the management was
faultless, and the flow OF social enjoy.
ment was uninterrupted from beginning
to end. A handsome sum was netted tc
swell the monetary volume of the com.
pany exchecquer.

Death OF Eaptain Wood,

A telegram received by Mrs. B. K
Wood. of this city, on Saturday last
announced the death OF Capt. A. E
Wood, of the Fourth Cavalry, mt San
Francisco, whose serious illness was re.
ported i'm our issue Of last week. His
brothers, b. r. Wood Of this place, and

The Bond Signed.

The bond of the Axle Grease com
pany has been signed, sealed aad de-
livered. The document was received
on Saturday last, and at this writing. il
may be said that all preliminary pro
ceedings looking to the establishment
of the plant are practically complete
and that in few days, work will be
commenced on the building. II isex'
pected that the plant will be completed
and in active operation by July 1.
The achievement of SO valuable an
industry for Custer is the result OF a
united and persistent effort upon the
part of the citizens Of the town, who
have wisely concluded, after long and
weary years Of waiting, vainly, for some
thing to turn up. that God only helps
those who try to help themselves. The
people Of Custer are to be congratulated
upon the successful result attending
their first earnest effort to secure the
establishment of a valuable pubiic s4.rSSNr
graruIaIeh IN the acquIsIuon OF an In
dustry which gives such unmistakable
promise of material benefit and endur-
ing permanence. The permanent char
acter of this industry, unlike others
established in the past, does not hinge
upon the uncertainty of mining opera
tions where mistaken methods, mani
testify unadapted to the treatment Of our
ores, have been employed, nor is it
subject to failure by reason Of inexperi-
ence upon the part of the management,
which has figured so conspicuously in
past mining operations in the southern
Hills. 1t is strictly legitimate busi-
ness enterprise, based on business prin
ciples, where all of the various constitu-
ents of the articles to be manufactured
are abundant and in easy reach. The
articles Of comm cree to be produced are
now, and must continue to be in good
request, and with the advantages Of a
location so exceptionally favorable in
all material respects as Custer is known
to be, failure may be said to he fairly
forestalled.

BY reference to the late proceedings
of the board of county commissioners,
appearing in this issue, it will be seen
that the board has directed that the
sum of $ll 900 shall be borrowed from
the County Sinking Bond fund. and ap-
piled to the redemption Of county gen.
eral fund warrants, and that this sum
shall be returned in payments at certain
periods as stated.
The CHRONICLE clearly recognizes the
immediate benefits which will neces-
sarily result from such action, but con-
fesses to a certain degree Of doubt as to
its technical legality, and further as to
the probability Of the treasurer being
prepared to cover back into the sinking
bond fund the amount borrowed there
from in accordance with the terms Of the
order.
The question of the propriety of this
act Of the commissioners is one which
naturally commends itself to public
fnucn az Ity eIeers can TTut De btherwIse
than beneficial in enhancing the market
value OF general fund warrants, and in
increasing to some extent the volume of
money in general circulation. 1t is also
point in favor Of the action of the
board that it will be a considerable
saving to the county in the matter of
interest, which upon the warrants re-
deemed amounts to $40 90 per annum
A look into the future is however less
encouraging as it appears that nothing
short of phenomenal progress on the
part of the county, resulting in an un-
usual increase Of her infowing revenues
could prevent a reduction Of the value
OF this class Of warrants to a figure far
below their present market value. This
result appears inevitable for the reason
that the fund upon which they are
drawn will be to material extent inn
poverished by the amounts periodically
drawn from it for the repayment of the
amount borrowed from the sinking bond
fund, and as the levy is fixed by law,
and cannot be raised TO meet the emerg-
ency, nothing but rapid increase of
the volume Of assessable property could
afford measure of relief 1t is our
fixed opinion that nothing short Of the
present pressing exigencies Of the situa-
ton could Justify the board in the ac-
ton taken, which if it can be legally
done, considering the present critical
situation, may not be a matter deserving
public censure.
