Labor Gould. But VIM Not.

In Kansas City, 'the gang" would
be dead IN a season il the labor vote
was only true to itself. But to get
advantage of its power, measures
must be in harmony withit The city
can own its own supply Of gas, water,
street cars and electric ligbts-and,
with the labor vote this would be
practicable. People in Europe, in
New York, Boston, etc, loan money
to corporations to build and operate
water works, street-car lines, gas aud
electric light plants. They operate
these and from the profits of that
operation pay the interest on these
loans. Who pays this interest and
the operating expenses? The people
Of Kansas City VINO pay for their use.
Then il we can and do pay this to
others, why not pay it to our own

The gold output of the Keystone camp.

The gold output of the Keystone camp.
considering the limited number OF
stamps employed, is simply phenomenal,
being surpassed in no other country ex-
tant. The crying want of the camp is
increased reduction facilities to meet
present requirements, as the ten stamp
custom mill recently completed, which
is the only plant of that character in the
camp, Is wholly inadequate to cope with
the constantly increasing demand in
this direction. The aggregate Of the
gold output would be largely augmented
by the introduction OF addional custom
mills, the erection of which the situa-
tion loudly demands and amply war
rants. The wonderful results already
achieved in this great camp may only
be regarded as the first CLEAN OF light
which presages the advent of that better
day, repeatedly predicted by the CHRoN
IcLE, when the southern Hills shall
clearly and satisfactorily demonstrate
the falacy Of the assertions of her de-
famers, and proudly float her banner Of
victory at the head of the column of the
famous mineral producing sections of
the west.

The CHRONICLE is more than pleased
to note the shipment, and contemplated
shipments of Custer gold ores to outside
plants for reduction, which is the surest
possible means Of securing a reduction
plant at home. Among the almost in
Vulnerable gold claims located in this
vicinity, there are large number from
which ore might be reduced at outside
points at profit, while the number
bearing ore of a character that would
justify home treatment would largely
increase the aggregate. While there
is no valid reasons upon which to base
a doubt Of the value Of our gold deposits,
it il nevertheless necessary for us to
show to doubling world by actual de-
monstration that our mines are un-
questionably susceptible Of profitable
operation, and there is no better method
Of possible adoption than their submis-
sion TO the crucial test of commercial
reduction. Let the good work 60 on,
the inevitable issue, in its measure of
future beneficial results to Custer and
the country at large. can but exceed the
expectations Of the most hopeful, and
to the average mind may only be but
dimly imagined.

A New Invention.

DR.. Oliver Fisher has been expert
menting all winter with. and has
finally perfected what promises to be
valuable invention in the way of an
improved telephone transmitter and re-
ceiyer. The device is circular in form,
is about three or four inches in dia-
meter, and embraces in its composition
a combination OF eleven different metals.
Experimental tests made by the local
telephone operator in this place on
Tuesday afforded conclusive proof of the
value Of the new deyice The cracking
and shaping which is so annoying to the
patrons of the telephone is entirely OBJ
waited by its use, and the faintest
whisper could be plainly heard from
any point on the circuit. The doctor
claims that by it's use faint whisper
could he successfully transmitted from
New York TO San Francisco, and that
there is absolutely no limit to the dis
tance over which full tone Of the voice
could be distinctly heard. Application
for patent with accompanying model
,lsAs been sent to Washington, and we
hope there may be millions in it for the
worthy and deserving inventor.

We have said the same thing upon
numerous occasions in the now dreamy
past. and we again repeat il with de-
gree Of confidence greatly in excess OF
all past experiences, that Custer is upon
the eve of taking her first definite step
across the line OF destiny which marks
the termination Of commercial uncer-
tainty, and the advent of an era Of rapid
advancement and permanent prosperity.
The delnsive method so long relied
upon, of talking up our mineral re-
sources to the producing point, is being
discarded as unwise, inefficient and
barren of beneficial results, and the
better and more judicious plan of con-
vincing an lncredulous world Of their
value by actual demonstration is being
happily adopted. There is far more
benefit to be realized In the way Of an
advertisement, from the shipment Of a
single car of payable ore, than could
possibly accrue from the combined
efforts of a thousand tongues in a thou
sand years, and had this important fact
been appreciated at the proper time in
Clusters history, many Of us whose
raimant is sadly seedy, and woefully
worn. might have been wearing dia-
monds Of the first water. Words. when
properly administered, are in many
instances, weighty, effective and po
tential, but in the matter Of promoting
our mining interests they are simply
thrown away upon an intelligent and
cautious public who very reasonably
expect mine owner to demonstrate it's
value by production, which is the only
practical and invincible argument which
he can submit in its favor. There is
brilliant hope for Custer's future, now
that she has discarded the tongue theo-
ry, and imbibed the wiser conclusion
that the boon of success may only be
attained by earnest, energetic action,
and the actual demonstration Of the
value claimed for her very promising
mineral deposits.

Under the caption Of Prospecting for
Gold" the Omaha World Herald Of the
10th inst, publishes an article, which,
were it not for the well known unreli.
ability Of the source, could have no other
effect than to discourage further effort
in the pursuit of the yet undiscovered
gold deposits Of the west. The Herald
descants at some length upon the ele-
ment Of uncertainty with which the
prospector for gold must contend, which
is rashly claimed to be so marked as to
render comparatively hopeless the snc-
cess Of all who engage in this pursuit.
II is stated that not one in every ten
thousand prospectors become rich, and
that If the mad rush for gold which now
prevails throughout the mining regions
Of the W orld was directed toward agri-
culture, much larger returns would be
realized.
Now, it cannot, as matter Of fact, be
denied that agriculture is the paramount
source of the worlds wealth, but it is
evident that the Herald did not stop to
consider the fact that. the number en-
ployed in this industry greatly exceeds
that of any other, and that in proper
tion to the number engaged in it the
product does not exceed that which is
being realized from mining operations
resulting indirectly FROM the pick Of the
prospector. Nor is 1t fact which can
be substantiated by competent proof,
that the avocation Of the gold pros
pector is hedged about with greater
degree of uncertainty than that of the
farmer, the burden of which the tillers
of Nebraska soil especially, have been
called upon to bear during the past year.
In any event it would seem to be an
unwise proceeding upon the part of
newspaper to place barrier in the path
of the prospector for minerals, through
whose persistent efforts the great west.
much of which was once classed as a
barren waste, has been elevated from q
state of bsrbarism to an advanced stage
of civilization, and through whose ener-
getic and persevering efforts the place
in which the Herald is published owes
its transformation from an Insignificant
hamlet to proud and prosperous city.
Let the prospector proceed upon his
chosen mission, the importance OF
which may only be family imagined by
the random writer of the Herald. Let
him continue in his pursuit of the hid
den wealth, which only through the
untiring efforts of these avant couriers
Of civilization. will earth's treasures
ever be discovered and produced to
swell the measure of q nations wealth
and promote the general welfare Of the
world at large.

THE BUXTON.

The Buxton mine. which has been
one of the best paying mines in the
Hills, and for some time past has been
supposed to be entirely exhausted, may
vet prove to be an important factor in
the gold production Of the Hills. Two
weeks ago II. O. Alexander and John
Lundberg. who leased the property, put
one man to work on the Buxton ground,
which had lain idle for some time a
week later another man was added to
the force and now there are three men
at work. Seven cars of ore assaying $50
per ton have been shipped to Deadwood
and two more cars are broken down and
ready to ship. A large chute of this
high grade ore has been struck, which
can be traced for 800 feet. When not
only new finds are being made every
day, but the old mines begin TO yield
once more, the prospects of the country
are bright indeed.-Pioneer.

ST. ELMO GROUP.

L. r. Graves returned yesterday from
ten days visit to Hill City and Key
stone For twelve years past Mr.. Graves
and Mr.. Gillette have been doing assess
ment on the st. Elmo group about
twelve miles from the Holy Terror.
They had good prospects from the ore
which was believed to be blanket for
nation, but a vertical vein was what
they were looking for, and all the work
was done with this end in view. some
time ago after the strike in the Holy
Terror was made, location was decided
upon and shaft was sunk in the ore.
At the present writing the shaft is down
thirty-three feet and a we'll defined
ledge from twelve to fourteen inches in
width has been discovered, the ore of
which assays nearly 500 per ton. Mr..
Graves feels very much encouraged over
the outlook and will prosecute work
with vigor now that the ore prospects SO
well. The shaft will be sunk one hun
dred feet deep and if the outlook is as
promising as at present stamp mill will
be put on the property. The ore which
was supposed to he = fat formation has
proved to be an immense overflow, and
prospects between ten and twelve dol
lars per ton.-Pioneer.

which, as stated, shows free gold and

very valuable concentrate. Steve
Breyer, one Of our veteran miners and
prospectors, lately visited the property
and, in his opinion, the discovery is one
Of the most valuable ever made in the
Black Hills. The formation is identical
with that found in the now famous Key
stone and Holy Terror properties, with
much more extensive ore body in
sight, it now being cross cut over 30 feet
