Trade and Tramc

The Hill City Tin Miner of last week
presents statement showing the num-
Der of car loads Of the various kinds of
freight shipped from and received at
that station during the year 1894, as fol-
lows: Lumber ll6. wood 80, brick 81.

number Of cars shipped. 305. Hay AZ.
grain and feed 10, -four 8. machinery 9,
oil 2. potatoes l. Total number Of cars
received, sc. trl
While this showing does not compare
favorably with the more important
points along the line Of the b. 4 ~, il
is nevertheless very creditable, and
especially 80 v hen the fact is considered
that the town has been seriously affected
in business view, by reason of the
shutting dowL of the Harney Peak Tin
company, upon which the place largely
depended for support. r
The situation at Custer 10 materially
different, as the shutting down of the
company named did not 50 seriously
affect the town. the benefits received
being insignificant as compared with
that Of the former place. The railroad
business of Custer for the year 1894 was
$5,03O.5O in excess Of the previous year,
and is to-day greater that than of any
other town on the line between Grand Is
land and Deadwood. Tie business during
the year 1894 is indicated in the follow
ing statement, for which we are indebt-
ed to Mr.. F. Elliott. the genial and
accommodating agent at this place;

There are, at this writing, vague sus-
picions bnrdening the minds of many Of
our citizens with reference to the exist
ence of Il board of trustees in Custer
The dea,hly AMI unbroken stiffness
which has pervaded the chamber where
this important organization held their
periodical seances in the dim and misty
past, would seem to favor the theory Of
-fss having rrfaxri IT'S noid upou suss -s.i-
ity and passed into the hidden realms
of the great beyond. We sincerely hope
that this theory may be groundless. and
that it may be hereafter determined
that the organization has simply passed
into state of temporary oblivion, from
which their resusci,ation may be within
the range of human possibilities.
Should the latter theory prove correct,
and the fact of the possibility Of their
restoration become sufficiently evident
to warrant test of its validity, then
We have method by which the ques-
ton may be settled beyond the shadow
of a lingering doubt. The method is to
place the oblivious organization upon a
stretcher and transport them to points
in the city within reasonable smelling
distance of certain hog pens, whose vile
and reeking exhalations fill the air with
their filthy odors, in comparison With
which the perfume Of the proverbial
skunk is refreshing and the fumes
arising from the foulest tan yard is the
quaint esscence of the rose If this
should prove abortive, then renounce
all hope OF lingering life, and lave the
organization to its fate, for il so power.
full panacea as this should iail their
case is surely beyond the pale of human
hope.

The Black Hills Mining Review is the
name Of IA new paper, the initial num-
ber of which was issued by A. w. Mer-
rick & Co. at Deadwood on Monday, the
18th inst The Review is devoted to
the mining, manufacturing, live stock
and trade Interests of the Black Hills,
and under the able and careful manage
ment of Mr.. Merrick, the popular pio-
neer journalist Of the Hills, will doubt
less fill long felt want in the local field
of journalism. The Review proposes to
direct its attention largely to the min
ing interests of the Hills, with q spirit
Of fairness that will warrant justice to
all sections. Ifthis policy is maintain
ed, and proper care be taken in the
matter of the accuracy Of the descrip-
tion of the merits of mining properties,
there is every reason to conclude that
its tenure of life will be permanent in
character. and its career crowned with
abundant prosperity, all OF which is in

A plan has been formulated whereby

to tide over the pending distressing
financial condition by which it is con
fronted as result Of the defalcation OF
ex-Treasurer Taylor. Cor whose appre.
hension reward OF $4,000 is offered
by the state. A large amount of money
has recently passed into the state treas
ury from county treasurers as result
Of the recent emergency demand, en-
ough to cover expenses for a month,
when the treasurer will float the fund

pointed by the appropriation committee
will advise the closing of the State Uni

reason to believe that such action will
be taken.

SAY SOMETHING.

Indifferent as the mass of our citizens
may feel in reference TO the matter of
advertising Clusters undeveloped re
sources, We nevertheless regard it as
being Of the most vital importance, and
the most advisable method that could be
adopted TO promote the public veal, and
advance the general progress ofthe town.
Within a radius Of six miles Custer
has a wealth of undeveloped mineral
resources. which, il located in any other
mining region in the United States,
would long since have become famous
for its exceptional output, and would
doubtless have been the chief factor in
the npbuilding Of a city of far greater
population and commercial Importance
than exists in the Black Hill, to-day.
We could name more than one town i'm
the Hills which, il favored with r
sources Of CORE; ponding value, would,
by reason Of their more extensive ad-
yertisement, and consequent utilization,
have ere this surpassed all other towns
Of the re- sion in the matter of we lth,
population and importance. We should
look the situation sqnarely in the face,
and profit in the future through the
errors Of the past. We have placed too
much confidence in the frai theory that
the simple possession Of great undevel-
oped resources Was the sure guarantee
OF future progress, without an effort on
our part TO present the fact Of their
existance to the busy eye Of capital
which otherwise will for all time re.
main unseen and unknown. Ii is
discouraging fact that, at this juncture
In our somewhat advanced history, We
are practically doing nothing in the
direction ofadyertising our undeveloped
mineral resources. and that, so to speak,
We are keeping our light most effectually
hidden behind the Opaque screen of
apathy, from which no light rejecting
upon our wonderful resources is per-
mitted to escape. The time has come
when we should embrace the cold con
clusion that great natural resources and
advantages are only valuable TO the ex
tent of their utilization, and that heing
financially unable 10 develop aud utilize
/ lCm ourselves, we should direct the
attention Of capital TO thsm. to the end
that we may derive the full benefit from
their possession. This disposition TO
await the coming Of practically unbid
den capital has been the hane Of Gus
ter's progress. aud we may not reason
ably expect material Advancement
without effort on our part Let us
awaken to the exigcncies Of the situa
.ion, aud say something, in some man.
ner, in some form, whereby We may
attract the attention of capital 10 our
splendid mineral possibilities. We are
ma',ing no effort in this direction Let
us consider the Stern and unalterab'e e
fact that unceasing endeavor and eternal
effort is the ixed price o. substantial
success in an undevelopei mining camp
in the absence Of which. progress and
prosperity are fairly impossible. L,t
us, at once, say something. What we
shall say, an 4 the best method of pre-
senting it, should be matter for the
earnest and immediate consideration of
all our citizens who are desirous of the
more rapid progress aud advancement
Of our. at present quiet. but neverthe-
less promising city.

A SUMMERS EVENING REVERE.

How sweetly serene was that sunset
scene;
The sky in the west was bright,
With a crimson glow, for the sun was
low; ,
Giving place to the shades Of night.
Not a leaf was stirred, not a sound
was heard
To mar that silent calm,
Save the plaintive wall Of the nightin-
gale,
AS she chanted her evening psalm.
Then I wandered not from that sylvan
spot,
For i'll solitude I rejoice,
When methink I heard, from the prais-
ing bird,
A solemn-''stil small voice!"
In a trembling frame, I breathed the
Of the Lord omnipotent.
And with appraised eyes to the vaulted
Were my knees devoutly bent.
In that silent hour, in that woodland
bower,
I knew that my God was there;
And then on the sward, to my Savior
Lord,
Did my soul burst forth in prayer.
So my heart was stayed, in that upland
glade,
And"a holy calm came DER me.
And a .Savior's love, from the dome
above,
Revealed his pleading for me.
As I homeward turned, how my spirit
burned,
To be up and to serve. my God,
And I prayed that night to be kept
Alright
And to follow the footsteps he trod.
Ever since that night, is my journey
bright, . ~
AS all nature with gladness teemed,
And I tread the earth in my new found
birth,
AS one of the Lords redeemed.

DISCOVERY
Cures Mnety-eight per cent. Of IN

Although by many believed to be incura-

living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption is a durable
disease. Not every case, but a large per-
cenkage of cases, and we believe, fmlIy 90

dread and fatal disease7 You need not take

A Barrel of Flour for u Bear.

A-Presque Isle merchant recently
carried out a satisfactory transaction
on the principle that a bear. in the
bush is worth a barrel Of -four in the
hand, although in theory it was con-
trary to the maxims Of Poor Richard
and all the other philosophers. A long,
lank fellow from the backwoods,
whose garb bespoke the healthy and
rugged poverty of pioneer life, came
into Barker's store and wanted to get
a barrel of -four on credit. Being ask
ed what security he would give for the
bill, he admitted that he had no real
estate, neither a hoof nor head Of
stock and no personal collateral of
any description, except a wife and a
large brood Of children, but he added
that he had just got on the track Of a
bear, and If Baker was willing to
take the bear al security he would
shoulder his gun on next Monday
morning and camp right on his track
until he got him. 1t was q trade
which the bear squared up with his
