The First National bank of Deadwood
is now the only banking institution in
that place, having on Friday of last week
absorbed the Merchants and Deadw BOD
National by purchase. On its face il
looks like a strange and anomalous
proceeding, but from the best inlorma-
ton ~attainable, it appears to be a
perfectly legitimate business transaction
in which no one is injured OF inconveni-
enced. Evidently there was not suf-
icent business to warrant the existence
of three banks, and a good way to get
out is to sell out, and do it in time. The
First National is now a monster finan-
cial institution, Judging from the follow
ing taken from the Daily Times of that
city: "The First National always has
been the leading bank Of South Dakota,
and this change strengthens it a great
deal. 1t started in yesterday with re-
sources aggregatiug nearly 81, 300, 900,
loans and discounts nearly $500, 900, cash
and available funds about $2sO,OOO, and
in deposits subject to check and other.
wise, about $650,000. This is far ahead
of any other bank in this state, and is
an excellent showing. The patrons OF
the Merchants and Deadwood will be
shown every courtesy by the First Ma
tional and the bank will do a legitimate,
straightforward business that will be a
credit to the city and insure safety to its
depositors end customers"

The 18th annual excursion and picnic
of the Society of Black Hills Pioneers,
which came off at Spearfish on the Sth
inst, vas the greatest success, in point
of attendance, III the history of the
society. The program Of exercises was
attractive and entertaining, the arrange
nIent for the comfort and pleasure Of
guests were complete in every detail,
and the occasion, in all material re
spects, is conceded to have been a sue
cess of the most pronounced character.
1t may be safely said that, no previous
excursion Of the society has surpassed it
in any respect, save the first one, held
IN this city four years ago, which in the
matter of hospitality extended, has
never been, nor will It ever be equalled
during the life Of the organization. The
number of visitors at Spearfish is vari-
ously estimated at from 1000 TO $500,
which exceeds the number present at
any former picnic of the pioneers. The
picnic at Custer, the next largest in at
tendance, was attended by about 2,200
persons, and ike the II at Spearfish,
will be long remembered for its pleasing
and enjoyable features.

The musical entertainment given by
a Hot Springs company on Saturday
evening, under the direction Of Prof.
Tyler, was fairly well patronized, and
has been pronounced by local musical
experts, a very creditab!e amateur per-
formance. The piano solos by Prof.
Tyler were mastery, and especially
pleasing TO the trained - usical ear.
The piano duets by Prof. Tyler and Miss
NIayme Stanley were greatly enjoyed
and warmly ~applauded. The solos and
duets by f. Il. Hare and Miss Stanley
were well rendered and well received.
The company had charge of the music
at the NJ. f. church on sunday, and re-
manned over Monday, taking in Sylvan
lake and Harvey Peak. They expressed
themselves as being well pleased with
Custer and its delightful scenic environ.
ments. They returned to the Springs

The new factory building is now
practically completed, and awaits the
arrival of the machinery, which, as
stated in a letter recently received from
an agent Of the company, is o on the
way. The letter states that the general
manager of the company will be here to
look after the placing Of the machinery
upon its arrival, and that every effort
will be made to have the plant in oper
alton at the earliest possible day. The
fact of the building being completed
much earlier than was anticipated by
the company, a month earlier than the
contract time, may be urged as a valid
reason for the seeming negligence Of
the company in producing the machin-
cry, as it was not expected by them that
it would be needed before the 9th of
July. We hope to chronicle the arrival
Of the machinery, and the resumption
Of work at the plant in our next issue.
