A DISTINGUISHED Visitor.

Mrs. George A. Custer, widow of the
distinguished general in whose honor
this city was named, at present travel
ing in Europe, has signified her inten-
tion Of visiting Custer City in September.
Mrs. Custer has for years manifested
great interest in the Black Hills region
with the early history Of which the
name Of her valiant husband is so
closely connected, and has for some
time been contemplating the visit now
decided upon. 1t is her intention to
traverse the route passed over by her
husband through the Hills twenty years
ago. with view to obtaining the neces-
sary data for write up of that memoir
able expedition, and she has already
engaged II. n. Ross, Of this city, who
was with her husband in the capacity Of
a miner on the expedition. to guide her
over the ronte travelled. The CHRoN-
IcLE would suggest the propriety of re-
ceiving this popular lady upon the
occasion of her visit, as gnest Of the
city, and rendering her a public recep-
ton. There is ample time to consider
the matter. and we earnestly hope that
the propriety of extending the courte
sizes above indicated may be fully real
lied by our citizens.

Mining Items.

The l90th dividend Of the Homestake e
Company of Is cents per share, was paid
at the Office of the company In New
York on the 25th ult., amounting to
slS.750, total to date of s., 5,l56, ,450.
Louis Florman brought in yesterday
nice cleanup from the last run made
on the Grizzly Bear mine. The amount,
We learn, was between six and seven
hundred dollars. The outlook for this
mine is very encouraging Louis Flor
man has made it pay since he com
menced running and there is no doubt
that he will continue to do so. He has
now over five hundred tons of good pay
ore in sight.-Hill City News.
The Deadwood Pioneer of the 30th ult
says it is positively certain that the d..
& d. Smelter at that place will start up
within ten days at the outside. Mr.
Knutzen received word from Professor
Carpenter yesterday to put everything in
readiness for an immediate start. 1t
will take about ten days to fix up the
plant and then it will run continuously
full blast. This will open the ball and
other works will follow suit.
The Deadwood Times is authority for
the following: The sale Of the j. r.
mine near Hill City, which was reported
last week and published by the Times
was not consummated but was deferred
owing to flaw in the title. The time
for the first payment to be made elapsed
and the purchasers were on the ground
from the east. The discrepancy will be
adjusted and the payment be made in a
few days. The new company expect to
operate upon very large scale.
Thomas c. Blair came down yesterday
afternoon from the Keystone mine. He
reports the mill at work and satisfactory
clean-ups being made. Mr.. Blair states
that during the past week a party OF
Frenchmen made visit to the Key
stone to examine a group of claims in
which Fred Cross is one Of the own
ers, and from remarks made by the gen
tlemen after they had examined the
property, it is more than likely pur
chase of the same will be made inside
ofa month.-Rapid Journal.
The Mining and Scientific Press, of
San Francisco, reports that forty mining
men will leave that city for Central
Africa under the leadership of A. R.
Hammond, on prospecting tour. They
comprise all necessary attaches, and
plan to spend three years in Central
Africa. They call themselves tine South
Africa Prospecting and Exploring
Expedition. Each member must pay
his fare and have 5000 besides for and
outfit. They expect to 60 fully equipped
even to taking small stamp mill, an

j. Gamble has concluded to accept
honors at the hands of the party this
year, but can't just make up his mind
whether he prefers to occupy seat in
the house of representatives on that
elegant and commodious leather chair
in the state house at Pierre. Such a
matter is Of course, worthy of grave
consideration, but the thought presents
itself that the country is filed with old
maids who are in a state of single bless
edness, and sorry for it, because they
were unable at the proper time to choose
between so many excellent opportuni-
ties. Perhaps, like them, the gentleman

A DRAWING OF TEA.

While sinking shaft on the Tea lode
last week Joseph Mcclure uncovered a
pocket of the richest free gold ore that
has been seen here for many a day
The men brought in a few pieces Of the
ore, large part of which are solid gold.
4 few of the smaller and least rich OF
the pieces were pulverized and panned
and yielded large proportion Of their
bulk in gold. The particles Of gold with
which the quartz is impregnated are
very coarse and heavy being almost
cubical in appearance. The Tea lode
belongs to Mcclure and II. C. Petit and
S located south of Spring creek some
distance above the J. K. There is a
chain Of these clans all of which Weld
splendid prospects and as the owners
have good grounds for the belief that
they will pay their own development,
they are consequently in no hurry TO
find buyer. In fact they say they are
not in the market.-Miner.
