The board Of trustees will meet this
Saturday evening for the purpose of
making the call for the annual election
which occurs on Monday, May 7th.
therefore, but little interest has been
manifested in our town elections. the
importance of which has not been fully
appreciated. In view Of the prospect of
more rapid progress, and the probabil-
ity of increased and more important
duties devolving upon the town board,
the utmost care should be taken in the
selection fits membership, looking en-
tirely to their peculiar fitness, without
reference TO party affiliations. Men of
good business ability are by no means
scarce in Custer, and of such should be
the board of town trustees for the com
ing term.

Of Mr.. and Mrs. Mason Ia building COM
monty called Little London,") lot 5,
block 80. Custer City, when after the
host and hostess had settled down after
their big scare. as it was truly a scare.
having so many people come to visit
them at that ti.ze of the evening, they
all partook Of ice cream and cake, and
had general good time. After Mr..
Mason had cooled down to his usual
temperament after being scared 80 aw.
fully, and asking the party if they knew
where they were at, he kindly invited
them in, and treated the party with
good old genuine Missourian hospitality
and every one was well pleased, and
made certain threats that they shoa.d
visit the lady and gentleman often, un'
der the impression that they would be
treated in the same hospitable manner
on their next visits.

ANOTHER RICH STRIFE.

Every day demonstrates more and
more that the hills surrounding this
city are full of gold quartz ledges, many
of which, if worked by mining men,
will not fail to become gold producers.
The latest rich find OF gold ore was
made in the shaft of the Columbia claim
owned by A. Ericsson This claim is
located about three-fourths of a mile
south of the ]. r. mine and was found
by Mr.. Ericsson last fall, who discovered
some very rich rock at the surface, he
has done but little work on it yet. The
shaft is now eight feet deep, and this is
the depth where he found the very rich
pocket of ore, which shows free gold in
coarse nuggets in the rock. Mr.. Eric
son was in town Wednesday and show
ed his little treasure around. He in
tends TO commence work in his shaft as
soon as he hears from his partner, who
lives in Minneapolis, and expects to
develop this piece of property into a
veritable bonanza Here's success to it..

Deadwood now has two tickets in the
field for mayor and city officials. There
Is simply distinction without differ
ence in the heading of the tickets, one
being the Peoples" and the other the
Citizens" ticket. Seth Bullock is the
candidate for mayor on the former and
Ben Baer on the latter. The Pioneer
and Independent persist in the state
ment that the peoples ticket is substanti-
ally the republican ticket, which will
surely prove no dretriment under pres
ent political circumstances.

with the opportunity Of perusing its

ceded creator and accredited author Of
Hot springs, has made a public an
nouncement of his candidacy for the
nomination for mayor of that enterpris-

fcations which serve to constitute the
model mayor.

Seth Bullock and Ben Baer have both
declined the nomination for the Dead
wood mayoralty. DIR. J. A. Harding

near approach Of the election will prob

tration is proceeding rapidly, the times
reporting 400 as having already been

The fair, held by the Ladies Aid soei-
ETY. of the Congregational church at the
Vienna on Tuesday evening, with an
exceptionally select and choice array oi
edibes on the side, was well attended,
and we'll defined success in all its ap-
pointments. The various attractive ar
ticles placed on sale, all OF which owed
their existence to the artistic taste and
def fingers of the ladies, were in ex-
cellen, request, and met with ready sale.
The articles were varied in character,
and aside from the fine display of those
especially designed for decorative and
ornamental purposes, were many which
were we'll adapted to the purposes OF
practical utility, among which, the
--latest hit" in ladies sun bonnets created
veritable furore, resulting in the sale
Of the entire lot, numbering 45, before
the wants of the munity, in this di-
rection had been appeased. The oc-
casion was one Of SURPRISING social en-
joyment to all present, and when the
good nights" we're exchanged, the
highly pleased participants retired with
the kindiiest feelings toward the good
ladies constituting the aid society who
were so largely responsible for the happy
results, wondering in their reflective
minds. how churches could be success-
fully perpstusted without the persistent,
energetic and irresistible efforts Of the
ladies.

Mining Items.

A. D. Stewart, DR.. T. L. Taylor and
others are contemplating the erection Of
a Cyanide plant at Puma, near Dead
wood, for the treatment of tailings from
different localities. A force of men are
already at work building road so that
teams may get to the site with the
building material.
The New York Mica mine that has
been in operation near this place for
several months, was shut down few
days ago. 1t is not known as to whether
the shut down is permanent or tempe
rary, but it is earnestly hoped by all,
and believed by many that the company
will resume work at an early day.
Years ago, at the tune the Golden
Summit ledge was first discovered, other
claims near by were found from which
some exceedingly rich fee gold speci.
mems were taken. The most prominent
amoug these was the Highly Lode" :"
which joined the Summit on the north.
This claim was later abandoned, then
relocated by other parties until it was
finally taken up BY Garfield, Bobay and
Moe, who have been working on this
claim all winter. They have a shalt
down over thirty feet on the ledge
which is four feet wide. The rock is
dark colored quartz showing consider
able red iron, it prospects very regular
and rich enough to warrant the erection

ANOTHER GOLD GROUP BONDED.
The Mayflower group, embracing
seven claims, located about three miles
west of this place. and owned by ]. p.
Foran and others, was placed under
bond on Saturday to an eastern syndi-
ca te. The bond runs five months, and
the purchasers are obligated to put
force Of men to work upon the property
within thirty days, and erect upon the
same reduction plant of the daily
capacity of not less than fifty tons be-
fore the expiration Of the bond. As
usual in such cases, the strictest secrecy
is observed on the part of both seller
and purchaser, and it was with the ut
most difficulty that a CHRONICLE re-
porter obtained the meager facts in re-
lation TO this important deal above
presented, which embraces all Of the
details possible to obtain. We are led
TO infer however, from the general trend
of the remarks made by those directly
interested, and from the favorable tone
of public comment, that the deal is im-
portant and significant, involving the
payment Of a large sun of money, that
there is a fair assurance Of strict com
pliance with the conditions above speci-
fed, and that it will result in great
benefit to Custer, and also to the Black
Hills generally. The property is known
to possess rare merit, and its operation
bids fair TO be crowned with the most
