Honors Are Easy,

The honors are thus far easy between
the two crack yachts. the Defender and
Valkyrie in their great contest for the
Americas cup. Two of the five races
have been pulled off resulting in a score
for each. Defender won the first by q
margin ofnearly nine minutes under q
condition of the winds conceded to be
unfavorable to her, and Valkyrie won
in the second contest by the bare mar
gin of 4s seconds, and this after fouling
the Defender, breaking her topsail and
placing her under great disadvantage.
LArER-Since the above was placed in
type, word has came to the effect that a
decision has been given in favor of the
Defender in the second race on account
of the fouling, leaving the valkyrie .
loser in both races.
STILL LArER-A New York special to
the Hot Springs Star bearing date of
Sept 18th, referring to the third race of
the series says: "The race to day was
farce. Last night Dunraven protested
against the crowding Of boats and de-
clared he would not race unless they
were kept away. The start was made
to-day shortly after noon, and soon after
making the start Valkyrie turned about
and was taken in charge of by tug and
started for New York. Defender sailed
over the course. No explanation Is
given Of Valkyrie's conduct. but it is
thought that Dunraven was incensed BY
the decision of the committee"

Secrecy in Mining,

The CHRONICLE has repeatedly con-
demned the mistaken policy on the part
Of miners and promoters of mining
operations, Of excluding from the local
press the facts and figures relating to the
transfer Of property. value of ore and
output, and other important Informs
tion touching upon their mining opera
tions, and heartily sanctions the senti-
ment expressed by the Hill City News
in its issue of last week. 1t says: 'Ths
less secrecy there is about the mining
business the better. Mine owners could
help great deal in bui ding up better
reputation for the Southern Hills II they
were less close mouthed about their
claims, the value Of their ore and the
clean up they are making from it. Let
the world know what you have. II it is
only 81 ore say 30. II it is of higher
grade make it known more rapidly. but
always tell 1t. It is q well established
fact that the more openly this business
Is conducted the less suspicion will be
attached to IL. Everybody, and espec-
tally mem Of means who are seeking in
vcctments, are anxious to learn the facts
BY figures and not by such vague state
ments - ore very fair and cleanup sat-
isfactory.'"

cratic newspaper announces that "a hint
has been sent out from Washington to
federal officeholders notifying them that
Mr.. Cleveland has Withdrawn his order,
issued in 1856, forbidding them to en-
gage in active politics" In view of the
fact that for the past few months the
Cleveland officeholders have been the
busiest politicians in the land, the state
ment would seem to be superfuous
These officeholders have manipulated
primaries, packed conventions and

to punish the men whom the admins
tration dislike and to advance the men
who are regarded as its friends.

The Hill City Tin Miner, one Of the
best Of the Black Hills weekly news
papers, which has long been struggling
with commendable energy and persever-
ance against combination of adverse
circumstances under which a less de-
termined person than the "old man"
would have long since thrown up the
proverbial sponge, has. at last, sue.
cumbed to circumstances and suspended
publication. The CHRONICLE regrets the
demise of the Miner, which was always
appreciated and rated among its most
valuable exchanges. The circumstances
which caused the suspension are vividly
presented in its final issue of last week
which We quote:
This is tie last issue of the Miner,
and this the old mans dying wall. Like
many another, he has attempted the
impossible, and is convinced that his
internal organism is not so constructed
as TO allow him to live on wind, and
that daylight makes thin and unsatis-
factory chewing. The fact is, the busi-
ness has ceased TO be self supporting.
and must therefore stop. Our relations
with Hill City and its people have been
cf the most pleasant; they are people
who deserve better fate than to live
in what must be for an indefinite num-
ber of years "shanty" town. There
can be no material, and little social,
progress in town owned by tottering
corporation, which cannot sell. and will
not lease lot for any reasonable time,
and until the Harney Peak company
releases its drowning grip on the town
no certainty Of surrounding wealth of
resource will induce any reasonable
man to erect good building here, or to
trust valuable stock of goods to the
almost certainty Of destruction in a COL
lection of cheap buildings. The untold
mineral wealth Of the surrounding
country, the favorable location, the
climatic conditions. and liberal, whole
hearted people, form a combination as
nearly perfect as such elements can
make any spot on earth, but whoever
wants to run newspaper here has our
kind permission. Some. not many, Of
the subscribers to the Miner are in ar
rears, and it is our intention TO make
life dreary, cherries waste to them
until they pay up"

demand which a general knowledge of
the merits of the product will eventually

James Conzette of GaIens and Frank

James Conzette Of Galens and Frank
P. Williams of Hill City have been scor-
ing for the past two months for an open
discussion Of the silver question through
the columns ofthe B. II. Mining Review.
We are growing weary of the delay and
would humbly suggest. in behalf Of q
tired waiting public, that they at once
get down to business. Williams is noti-
cably timid in approaching the wire and
1t begins to look decidedly doubtful as
to whether he will eyer get into position
TO make start. Why not take up the
Conzette theory and hammer away on
that for few rounds? Anything would
be preferable to nnonkeying around the
grand stand disputing about details.

The Methodist Conference,


The annual conference of VI. L.
churches and ministers held at Lead last
week was the most interesting meeting

Newman presided and Prof Lymer was
chosen secretary, which is quite an hon.
or, espe cially as he has been secretary
for a number Of years consecutively.
The character Of every minister in the
conference was passed in review and the
general concession was that there is not
a higher body ofmen anywhere, morally
than those Of the Black Hills mission
They reported having raised abont So 900
during the year for general benevolence.
Reports Of ministers from every part of
the Hills showed the churches to
be in prosperous state and harmony
prevailing everywhere.

Rev. earns during the remainder of his
sojourn in the Hills, which will not be
many weeks. He desires to be changed.
Rev. L. +. Clough. who has been the
faithful pastor of the Deadwood church
for the past four years has been promot
ed to be superintendent and presiding
elder Of the mission. This is splendid
promotion and Rev. Clough is justly
entitled to it. He has built the church
to the largest membership ever en-
rolled. Rev. Clough is the right man
for his new position he is energetic,
untiring and ambitious, and will prove
himself very capable and painstaking
superintendent. We understand Rev.
Clough will make his headquarters at
Deadwood, providing proper conces-
sions are made. 1t is quite an honor to
Deadwood to have the headquarters OF
the superintendent Of the mission here,
and it is we'll worth looking after.

and Prof. L. q. Corning were appointed

Bishop Newman paid that worthy
gentleman splendid compliment. He
reviewed his splendid work in the Black
Hills and stated that DR.. Hancher had
received calls from several ofthe finest
churches in the west, He declined to
let him 90, however, as he cannot be
spared from this fisld.-Times.
