Mining Items.

Large deposits of Fullers earth of sup
ericr grade is said to haye been recent
ly discovered north Of Central City, in
the northern Hills.
The Dead wood Times of Wednesday
says Parties who came up from Key
stone camp yesterday report that a big
strike has been made in the Keystone
mine at depth of 900 feet in the new
shaft. The ore is of better grade than
am yet found in the property. There
is apparently a large and permanent
vein.
The B. II. Mining Review says: The
estimated amount of stone necessary for
the foundation Of the Kildonan Chlori-
nation plant at Pluma is 270 car loads,
or $3.50 tons This is exclusive Of what
will be used in the engine and boiler
foundations, which makes an addition
of l20 cars of 1850 tons. Making a
grand total of all the stone used in the
building of 800 cars $3.50 tons.
The Golden Reward company has or
dered another set of rolls and another
roaster with a guaranteed capacity OF
fifty tons per day. The roaster will
have continuous discharge like the
White Howell, but is different model.
The new rolls will increase the crush.
ing capacity so that the cyanide plant
can be kept in operation and with the
new roaster the chlorination plant can
be run full capacity.-Pioneer.
Every new development on the line
Of geetting downint the ground on the
veins in the Southern Hills is making
plaiLer and more positive the evidence
Of immense richnesss Of the auriferous
quartz lodes of that section, and it seems
from the present progress being made
the people of those districts will soon be
able to candidly proclaim that they sur

NO second place in the output of the
precious metals.-Review.

Of DR.. Everett, Of Lincoln, while clean
ing his shot gun, sccidently discharged
the same, the shot taking effect in the

The shot was painful one, and it will
be some time before the victim will be
fully recovered from it, but the case j:
not considered critical Young Everett

Found Dead.

Henry Otto, an old resident of this
place, was found dead in his bed on
Sunday morning, the 2sth ult. The
deceased had been quite infrm for some
time, fact due to his advanced age,
having passed his fourth score mile post
upon the journey of life. but still had
energy enough to secure a livelihood
by doing odd jobs about the town. He
was up and around as usual on Satur-
day, but complained of feeling unwell
when he went to his cabin to retire for
the night. Appearances indicated that
death ensued without struggle. He is
said to have been married about fifteen
years ago. and that his wife is residing
in Denver. He formerly lived in Ida.

BURNED OUT.

There are but two words In the above
caption. They are short words too,
only containing nine letters, but what a
world OF meaning they express. To be
burned out in any case is no small mat
ter, and involves loss and inconvenience,
but who can measure the berculean task
OF restoring order out of the inextricable
chaos incident 10 the partial bnrning
out Of a fifteen year old printing Office.
! While We have passed through the pair
| fully bitter ordeal we shall not attempt
a description of it. but lea"e it to the
imagination Of our readers, hoping that
due allowance will be made for any
discrepancies Un our part. To issue a
paper at all ij4is week meant more actual
work, and persistent effort than may
| be readily imagined. 1t meant the
sorting Of an almost endless amount Of
type that had been pied in its hurried
removal from the burning Office. II
meant the removal of all the varied
parapbarnalia of print sop TO new
| quarters, and arranging the same for
| immediate use. 1t meant the hunting
up of the means Of printing the issue,
both presses having been destroyed by
the fire. to secure which involved nearly
two hundred miles of trayel, and not
withstanding all this, with no bank ac.
cunt TO draw upon, the CHRoNIcLE
comes up smiling, somewhat disfgured
possibly, but still in the ring.
Now, before We forget it, We desire to
say to our patrons and to the public 1T
large that, there never has been time
in our history when your favors in the
way of subscriptions to the paper, and
advertising patronage would be more
highly appreciated, or more thankfully
received. The CHRONICLE has STAYED
with the town through thick and thin,
and Notwithstanding the fact Of our
having lost our building and presses,
we propose to stay firmly with the pro-
position, and continue 10 work TO the
best OF our aDillty IN The interest OF
Custer, the Black Hills and the great
state Of South Dakota. Our path in the
past has not been strewn with roses, nor
do we expect anything approaching the
luxury of picnic in the immediate
future, but with fair degree of public
patronage and little effort on the part
of delinquent subscribers to meet their
accounts, we hope 10 be able to make
the CHRONICLE better paper than it
has ever been in the past.
1t is absolutely necessary now that so
heavy 10 has fallen upon us, that all
of our patrons who are in arrears should
, make prompt settlement Of their ac-
counts. Any favors from the business
men of the city in the way of advertis-
ing will also be duly appreciated.

sPARRLETs.
The first man at the FIRE, and the
fellow that fred the frat bucket OF
water, are questions that have not yet
been definitely determined, but the list
OF claimants for these respective honors
are AS elongated as they are delusive.
The report that lady victim of the
fire, who barely escaped cremation in
her hume by a hurried exit in her robe
la mutt, lost all her worldly possessions,
has been denied 1t is now alleged that
her diminutive but valuable poodle,
having found Judgement beneath q
friendly fold Of hei night cap, still lives
to comfort aud console ller.
The lady who lived three blocks from
the fire. and moved all her furniture
and fixins into the street where the Ire
would more readily consume it, reminds
one Of the fellow who, under the excite
ment incident to burning homes, threw
a costly mirror out Of second story
window and carried feather bolster
ccfgefully down stairs.
Some fellow must have parted com
pany with his reason, and gone daft al
together when he picked up Miss Elsie
Kleemann's elegant oil painting at the
hotel during the fire, and carried il a
block where he threw it into the r. &
NJ water tank. Some folks are awful
excitable.
During the time the fire was raging
such exclamation as ooh If we only
had water works" five only had the
means Of throwing a stream Of water"
etc, etc, etc, were frequently heard,
but the fire is out now. We never need

To Improve Cooking Receipts.

As matter of useful information
whenever cooking receipt calls for a
baking powder the Royal should be
used The receipt will be found to work
better and surer, and the bread, biscuit,
rolls, cakes, dumplings. crusts, puddings,
crullers or whatever made, will be pro-
duced sweeter, lighter, tiner-favored,
more dainty, palatsble and wholesome.
Besides, the Royal will go further or
has greater lesvening power, and is
therefore more economical than any

In answer TO inquiries sent out TO

asking il they favored a convention
this year, the State Central Committee
answered as follows:
JOHN II. CARROLL.
MACON, Mo, May 4-Col. John ii.
Carroll, State Democratic Committee
MAJ for the First District, was in this
city to-day. To n question, "Do you
favor calling a State convention OF
Missouri Democracy, in accordance
with the request of the Democratic
members of the Legislature, to make
n declaration on the silver question:
Col. Carroll said:
81 am opposed to calling a conven-
ton for the purpose stated, for the
reason that the party in State con-
vention at Kansas City last year con-
sidered and passed fully on that issue
in a way that ought TO satisfy all free
silver Democrats and a convention
this year would result in no good. ]

Silver and Gold.

10 the Editor OF the Ledger
MEXICO, Mo, May ii, isab,-''Coin-
age Laws" pagea 81 and ~, says there
were only eight million silver dollars
coined from 1892 to 1878. The coinage
Of half dollars, &c, car not enter into
the discussion of the question as the
act of "73n did not change that. The
question is, If eight million silver dol
lars suitloed from 1892 to 1873 and five
hundred million were coined from 1875
10 1894, are we suffering for more? The
fallacy in "Coin's Financial SCHOOL,
and kindred spirits is that silver dol
lars were Mt any time a large part of
our currency. The facts are, silver
dollars were always of no Importance;
the quantity was SO small before the
HBland Era" that the presence or abb
sence of silver dollars made no differ
ence, the proportion before 1873 being
one thousand million in gold to eight
million in silver dollars, keeping al
ways in mind that the coinage of half
dollars, etc, snot discussable, us there
has been no change in the laws felat-
ing to minor coins for forty years.
