The CuRoNIcLK Is indebted to Mr.. J.
f. Pitcher, assistant secretary Of the
state senate, for copy, recently issued,
of Bulletin No. l, a preliminary report
on the geology of South Dakota. by
Prof. J. +. Todd, state geologist, q PAM
phlet containing l67 pages, embracing a
fairly comprehensive description of the
topographic and geological features Of
the state, etc, which will be read with
much interest in the Black Hills, to a
description Of which important region
the work is largely devoted. It is to be
regretted however that the Professor,
while making his explorations in the
Hills. failed to visit one Of the most
interesting sections found in the entire
region, in the heart Of which this city
is located. in consequence of which the
work is conspicuous for the absence of
any mention whatever Of its interesting
features. We can but express the hope
that before the issue ofanother bulletin,
the Professor may revisit the Hills and
include Custer in the list Of planes
visited. to the end that a section so re-
plete with general features OF exception.
al interest may be duly and properly
noted.

The Deadwood Pioneer a short time

The Deadwood Pioneer q short time
since took occasion to make US the vic
tim of its caustic comments upon our
phraseoloey in brief article referring
TO the proposed shipment of a car load
Of gold ore from this place for reduction,
in which reference was made 10 an ar
ticle appearing in previous issue un-
der the caption of "Say Something"
which the Pioneer had evidently not
seen, and as consequence could lily
understand the connection between the
two. 1. is only necessary to say for the
edification Of the Pioneer that, practic-
ally, much may be said without the use
Of words. Actions speak, and better
authority than the Pioneer or CHRos-
IcrE, warrant the statement that they
speak even louder than words, and il
was the hope of the writer that our
citizens should thus speak. II affords
us great pleasure to further state that
our citizens have thus spoken, and that
their action will no doubt result in the
early shipment Of a car of ore to Dead
wood plant for treatment. and that in
the event Of favorable results. the en-
terprise will be continued pending the
erection of q reduction plant in this
place, which may be safely included
with the highly probable events Of the
near future. We trust our phraseology
in this instance may be at least fairly
ineligible TO the Pioneer. as it is our
most earnest desire to escape further
explanations. A company has now
been formed with the above object in
view, the b. & NJ. having kindly con-
sented to furnish free transportation for
the first car Of ore. Further shipments
hinge wholly upon the adaptability of
the process employed at the reduction
plant at Deadwood to this particular
character of ore, as it has been shown
by repeated tests to con-
tain the requisite value to justify the
of shipment and reduction.

Henry Mankin Dead.

this place. copy Of the Spokane Re-

and woody career, and ultimate death Of
Henry Mankin, the well known discov-

the local interest therein contained:
Henry Mankin, better known n
Hank" Mankin, died Thursday at the
Sisters hospital, from the effects Of .
gurshot wound received several years
ago in Arizons, while defending q min
ing claim. Hank was q typical minor
Of the old school. lie was pioneer in
every mining camp in the west, inclnd
ing the Black Hills, Colorado, Nevada,
Arizona, New Mexico, Idaho and Brit
ish Columbia. The injury that caused
his death was inflicted by bullet that
pierced the center Of the forehead, pass
ing through the upper part of the brain
and coming out back of the right ear.
There had heen several boards planted
at the heads Of graves on account OF
Hanks craftsmanship. He never shot,
he always said. except in self defense,
but whenever he did draw something
dropped.
For two years the old wound has been
troubling him. BY the new tre6ning
process Q portion OF the skull was re-
moved last simmer and an ahscess was
found on the brain. He laughed in the
surgeons face and told some ladies' Of
the house where he lived to bring in the
little boys and let them see what man
can do. Great relief was obtained from
that operation and Hank was about
town until two weeks ago, when his ah-
sence from the streets was noted and
commented upon. None of his ac-
Quaintances knew where ne was until
the news came out yesterday that he
was dead.
Mankin was one Of the Hrst men in

Mankin owned. He had leit the beast

break the dog from those habits when

Railroad RumoP.

1t is rumored on the B. & NJ. between
Omaha and Deadwood that the railroad
company will make some great changes
with regards to quick time. This will
consist Of running a local train from
Lincoln to Hot Springs and back and
for the tourist passengers, . Pullman
car will be attached. The benefits to
be derived from the arrangements will
be that trains No. Al and AZ will make
very few stops between Omaha and
Billings. and the time made mp will con-
sidersbly shorten the length Of the
journey between the two points. The
Deadwood train will leave for the east
between two and three o'clock in the
morning, making quick time to Edge
mont instead of the present slow run.
1t also reported that the Hot Springs
and Minnekahta train will make three
trips day instead Of two as at present.

by the large boilers now in place at

TO be largely in excess Of the measure

Gus articles Of commerce as originally
contemplated 1t would now seem APP
parent that the idea OF the establish
ment Of this enterprise was conceived
by the company prior to the purchase
Of the machinery for the factory, as
shown by the putting in Of machinery
Of nearly treble the capacity required to
operate the factory alone. 1t is now
currently reported that the machinery
for the ore plant has already been pur
chased, and that the plant will be in
operation in less than ninety days. 1t
is further reported that contracts have
been signed by mine owners in this
vicinity for the delivery of ore at a
