Rockerville, have the extention on the
northwest end Of the Vetran, and are
showing good prospects.
There il considerable prospecting in this
locality. and there is good groupings all
through the country, but they are not
all finding the precious metal. If there
IS one paying mine out of every fifty this
country will oon equal Cripple Creek,
Col.
Times are picking up at the keystone.
Ore hauling has commenced again, but
the roads are still in bad condition on
account Of the heavy rains. The owners
OF the Bullion mine have stopped haul
ing ore, and it is rumored that they will
lease the Keystone mill and
to mill the Bullion next week. They
have plenty OF good ore close to the
mill.
Thure Swanson met with an accident
last Sunday evening while on his way
home from Keystone. About seven
O'Clock he passed Harvey City and on
the hill by Mr.. Everley's field, his horse
stumbled, throwing Mr.. S. to the ground
with such a force that he was senseless
for two hours, when Mr.. Grow from Key
stone. came along and found him. Mr..
G, secured help and he was brought to
Mr.. Everley's house where he soon re-
covered, except a few slight bruises.

TEPEE GULCH, June 6, 1895.

Another big strike in free milling gold
has been discovered near the head Of
Rockerv1lle gulch on the north side Of
Silver City, about one mile northeast
from the Lucky Cuss property. e. s..
Crysler and l.. D. Fall have secured q
half interest in this property aud will
soon put a force OF men at work to open
1t up, and before June /, 1896, are to
have a five stamp mill on their mill
sight to mill the ore. Several assays
show from $1,000 to $4,000 free gold.
The Lucky Cuss property is still being
worked and is still holding it's own.
There will 500 be a lew hoist on the
ground INC as soon as the mine is
opened up enough to furnish a supply Of
ore. there will be a large stamp mill
erected.
Mr.. 7. Thompson has moved into his
new residence near the bridge on the
north branch Of Tepee.
Mr.. G.. S. Crysler has built a new barn.
office and sleeping apartment, and has
got things quite comfortable.
c. S. Crysler, superintendent OF the
Lucky Cuss Gold Mining & Milling Co.,
has gone to Chicago to order a mill and
hoist and other supplies for his COM
pany, to be put up on their property on
Tepee in the near future. The ore body
on the Lucky Cuss still continues to in
crease IN value. The ore in the breast
Of the southwest drift is the same as in
the open cut, but it is richer and courser
gold than the surface workings.
The Copper Rock No. 2 is showing up
fine ore which IS identlcally the same as
the ore in the Lucky Cuss, and it pans
out about the same.
The Union lode is also a promising
prospect, and the numerous other claims
in the same belt show good groupings.
H. Baker has a fine prospect on Bitter
creek, his ore gives a fire test from 81. 90
to $500 per ton, with some free gold
streaks. The ore body on this claim is
about 200 feet in width, and Mr.. Baker
Has 4ultt d Cuuuel Ou Cie east WALL anO
one on the west. He has a fortune and
he knows it. He has an assay outfit OF
his own and makes his own tests OF the
GRE. He Is on the same belt with the
Lucky Cuss property.
Messrs. PreGmore and Carter have a fine
prospect of free milling ore at the head
OF Rockerville guIch and about one mile
northeast of the Lucky Cuss.
Development work commenced today
on the Vetran, several assays gave from
$500 to $4,000 per ton free milling

AMONG THE MINES,
KEYSTONE.
KEYSTONE, S. d. June 10, 1895.

KEYSTONE, s. D. June 10, 1895.
Many OF our citizens at this time are
BUSY repairing the ore hauling road
down the Cross gulch, MS that IS the onlv
accessible route to some Of our best
mines which our mills are so dependant,
upon. The bad roads and the stopping
OF ore hauling puts nearly a quietus
on all business in this place. The mir
Ing excitement of this section seems TO
be over on the Tepee. AS O pass over
the divide to that camp you first come
to a series OF mines owned bv Judge Nc
Cam, OF Hill City; half mile further
north the McAuler mines are reached.
here are the head waters OF the Tepee IN
a beautiful little vallea surrounded with
with a heavy growth OF stately pines.
thence a short distance further in the
same direction and you arrive at the
MAMA, at this mine Messrs Reilly and
Bear, the owners, are to be found vigor-
ously at work in their tunnel which at
this time is a hundred and eighty feet in
length with a good prospect OF reaching
the ledge within the next twenty feet.
thence nearly on your back track until
you reach the old Hill City road, thence
directly east and a very short distance
brings YOU to the Big Dyke; this noted
mine is situated on a high rocky hill
scarcely ascentable by pedestrians and
the only means OF reaching this prop
erty is by hard scrambllng; thence east
erly a quarter OF a mile and a beautiful
little park comes in view, the surround
lngs OF this opening is studded with oak
timber which bears acorns in great
abundance. The next half mile east the
dairy ranch is reached, here the little
valley be- rs TO widen and you are nov
IN the Tepee valley, proper among all
It's beautiful scenery. And at or near
the eastern terminus OF this valley you
arrive at the celebrated Lucky Cuss
mine. here the traveller or ]prospector
will find a good opportunity to gain in
formation enough to make his visit
pleasant.
In giving a rather vague description OF
this mining region. we find that we have
hurriedly passed by some OF our best
mines without comment, and to return
to our starting point we find many OF
our old friends trading with our merch-
ants and business men OF keystone, with
a fair prospect OF getting a good ducking
before they reach their homes.

Engineer Koke thought that a
compound condensing engine would
be more economical.
w. n. Stewart representing the
Siemens u Halske Electric Co. of
America, made a statement of what
his company proposes to do, embody-
ing what has already appeared in
these columns. He said that the
country is full of fakirs doing what
Mr.. Donaldson is doing. They are
irresponsible and not electricians
They make offers and hope by the aid
of divine providence to carry them
out. The Electrical Engineer for Sep
TENDER, 1894 makes a report of the
lighting plants in the United States
operated by municipalities and by
private companies. The average
cost of municipal lights installed are
at the rate of $149.30 each, as shown
by the reports of city officers, and
this would mean that lOO-light
plant in Mankato Ewould cost $34, $50.
The average cost of lights installed
by private companies is $3.50 each. 1t
is easy to buy plant costing $3.50 per
light, but little bills of extras will
always come in. The risks taken by
city in accidents to the boiler or
dynamo or polls, damage suits for men
hurt or Killed and property injured,
are a considerable item. State
ments such as had been made at the
meeting were so wild and misleading
that councils 60 ahead and put in
cheap plants, only to bitterly repent
afterwards.
Litchtield, with a population Of
5000 people has a plantcosting $50, 900.
Arlington, with $40 people, has one
costing $500 Many cities that have
tried municipal lighting have sold
their plants at large discounts after
meeting with heavy loss. The Unit
! ed States census shows that the cost
of operating municipal plants is
twenty per cent greater than the cost
of private companies. A good plant
will cost $4,000 to $4,000.
He said that Mr.. Donaldson had
built one multo polar dynamo and
was doing experimental work. In
this he was taking chances. If the
city wants to pay his expenses Of $780,
600 to 100000 it can do so, or else he
was sorry for Mr.. DOnaldsOn's bonds
men. The cost of procuring 1000
watts under municipal control is a
trifie over nine cents, and cent less
in private control. In order to avoid
such accident as that at Sleepy Eye,
there ought to be water tube boilers
and a tre proof building. When
everything is considered, municipal
| ownership is beautiful vision. Where
it has been a success the machinery
was new and not deprecated so as to
| take more coal. The tendency now is
| low speed engines. The Siemens &
Halake Electric Co. will put in a
100000 plant in Mankato, and $780,
of this will be of outside capital. A
| fire proof building will be put up.
Mr.. Donaldson made some state
ments to support his position.
The council adjourned until next
Saturday night, it being after mid
night.

The council evidently realized Sat-
tturday night that it is near the end
NOf its rope on the money question, for
it was relentless in tabling PROPOSE
tions and rejecting bids, even where
especial assessments would pay the
cost. Many meritorious plans were
given a setback, and it is evident
that the Limit of public improve
ments for this year has nearly been
reached.
All of the aldermen were present
= and Mayor Weaver presided.
A petition was received from Min
pesota street property owners asking
that the deposits of quicksand and
brick dust on that street be covered
with gravel, not to exceed eight cents
per yard. 1t was referred to the street
committee with power to act at once.
An application for liquor license
was received from A. Sieberg, and
July r2Oth was set as the dayton a
hearing.
The committee on licenses reported
favorably upon granting liquor
licenses to Henry Dreher, Gallon &
Fern, H. Zimmerman and Mic We'll
Ter. The report was accepted.
The sewer committee reported
favorably upon the petition for a
sewer on Hanover street between
Hickory and Pearl streets. The mat
ter was referred to the aboard of pub
> lie works.
The committee on city property
recommended that the Minnesota
river bridge be painted one coat.
Park Purchase.
The park committee reported in
favor of the purchase of the
rest of Sibley mound of Mr..
,Burmister for $500. Considerable
discussion followed on the merits of
the two propositions made by Mr..
Burmister, one this year and one last,
the latter offering less land for 800
less. A motion by Aid. Andrews to
!: accept the report of the committee
was carried, only Aid. Bradley voting
"no."
Mayor Weaver .fstated that there
was but S648 in the park fund. He
said that the work at the park cannot
well be dispensed with, and that to
purchase the additional ground a
special levy would have to be made.
A motion to lay the matter on the
table made by Aid. Bradley, was car
ried.

committee reported unfavorably upon

THE Wabasha Herald holds that the
question how so cents worth of silver

argument. So far as the silver mo

it is not because it exposes the weak
