Important improvements Recently Mad a

There by the Santa Fe.
The extensive Improvements in the
course of construction by the Santa Fe at
Arkansas City, consisting of new round
house, machine shop, blacksmith shop
and storehouse, are rapidly nearing
ompletion, and will probably be ready
for occupancy within month.
The new round house, built on the site
of the old one. is q stone building con
tanning eighteen stalls; the turntable in
connection with the round house has
been rebuilt and enlarged.
The machine shops are directly in the
rear of the round house, the rear wall
of the round house forming the south
wall of the machine shop, and is built
entirely of stone. 4 track enters the
machine shop from the round house, and
locomotive needing repairs can be run
directly from the turn table into the
shop.
New machinery will be added to that
already IN use, which at present is in
temporary quarters. and it is probable
that several more men viii be employed
as soon as the building is completed
Inc blacksmith shop is built substan-
tally of wood, and is q short distance
from and in the rear of the machine
shop. This department formerly occu-
PED a portion of the old machine shop.
The etorehouse is a frame structure
situated west of the machine shop

Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1895-06-22

A special edition Of the Rapid City
Journal issued on the 18th inst. by the
ladies of that place without assistance
from any male source whatever, Is so
exceptionally perfect in all respects as
to force us to the humiliating conclusion
that the men who have taken upon
themselves the responsibility of Black
Hills journalism would be outclassed in
O journalistic contest with the women
that produced this super-excellent and
highly creditable edition. The edition
is remarkable for the variety OF subjects
treated, and the rare ability displayed
in their presentation. 1t may be said
without shade OF exageration that the
paper is model production editorially
and mechanically. 1t is as bright typo
graphically as il Is brilliant editorially,
every department of which betokens a
degree Of ability that would warrant the
belief that it emanated from heads
thoroughly trained in the school of ex-
perience. The wonder is that so large a
corps of able writer's could be found in a
town Of Rapid City's population, and its
citizens may be justly proud of their
notable achievement. We learn that
the enterprise was success financially,
the net proceeds being ample for the
attainment of the laudable pupose in
view.

TAYLOR Returns.

w. w. Taylor. South Dakota's default
ing treasurer, whose recent surrender to
the state authorities has for several
days been theme of public comment,
arrived at Pierre on Tuesday morning,
where he was placed in the custody of
the sheriff Court not being in session,
his trial will probably be delayed for a
time. possibly until the August term.
but it is deemed probable that special
term will be called for the trial of his
case. He is in excellent health, and
desirous of q speedy trial, that his term
in the state prison may begin at once.
Attorney General Crawford is said to
be greatly pleased with the outcome Of
the ease. which will result in the resti-
tuition of the full amount of his shortage
to the state, and his proper punishment
for the crime committed. TAYLOR turns
over the sum of 100000 to the state in
cash, and all property owned by him'
consisting Of Chicago real estate, lands
in various places In South Dakota and
other states, mining stocks. etc.. the
balance of the amount due the state to
be paid by his bondsmen.

The Celebration.

The celebration billed for Custer on
the 4th of July, program Of which ap.
pears in this issue is the ruling topic OF
discussion in this neck o'woods at this
writing. The men are ablaze with en-
thusiasm, the ladies are preparing their
catchy costumes and the kids are firing
the festive cracker as prelude to the
grand and glittering occasion. Commit
tees are busily engaged in the prelimin
ary arrangements and the air for miles
round about is fairly quivering as a re-
suit Of the prevailing excitement. That
there will be larger attendance at this
celebration than at any former one ia
our history, we have every reason to
believe. Casters reputation as gilt
edged entertainer is too we'll established
to admit of any doubt upon the question
of large attendance, the weather per.

q. which point il is the intention Of the
company to sink double compartment
shaft 100 feet or more. The vein Of high
grade ore found a few feet northeast of
the shaft is apparently fssure. 1t is
four feet wide, between we'll defined
walls, with soft gonge matter on each
wall &. s. Crysler. president and gen.
eral manager of the company is now east
and will make all arrangements for the
early erection Of mill and hosting
works before he returns. All who haye
visited the property say it is one Of the
biggest mines in the coun.ry.-Times.
THE KEYSTONE DISTRICT.
Major Simmons and the st. Paul d.
rectors of the Keystone Mining and
Milling company made tour of the
Keystone district last Saturday, taking
samples from almost every mine and
prospect hole in the district. The sam-
pies were carefully labeled and Sunday
and Monday a half dozen men were
kept busy assaying aud pounding up the
samples. The object was to get gen.
eral average Of the ores as at present
developed. The result convinced them
beyond a doubt that Keystone has
passed the experimental stage and will
be good permanent camp. They do
not expect it to be as large or produce
as much gold as the free milling belt OF
Lead, Terraville and Central, or as the
sillcious belt having Bald Mountain for
a central figure, but they do expect 10
have good camp for fifteen or twenty
years TO come.
The shaft on the Keystone is now
down $50 feet and sinking will be con-
tinued until July Let, at which time it is
expected that a depth of $50 feet will
have been reached. A station will be
made and drifting commenced. The
shaft was started 200 feet from the over
vein which either widens below or
pitches, for at depth of $50 feet
good grade of ore has been found in
the shaft. The machine drills are be-
ing operated and although the rock is
very hard, good progress is being made.
Surface water coming in through the
tagging makes a constant spray, and the
men are compelled to work in heavy
rubber clothing.
The Holy Terror has a complete hoist
and air compressor, but is only operat-
ing one machine drill. The rock is 30
hard that sinking only progresses at
the rate of about two feet per day.
The owners of the Bismarck are pill
ing ore on the dump, awaiting improve
ment in the condition Of the roads. The
mine is located about one mile from the
custom mill, but as a marshy gulch inter
venes it is impossi' lie to get through
with load until the rains cease. A
portion of the road has been corduroyed
and all Of it will be soon. Two hun
dred and twelve tons of the ore was
treated at the Keystone mill last sum-
mer and yielded an average of s4.50 per
ton.-Pioneer.

The scenery in the Evans opera house
at Hot Springs is TO be taken out, says
the Star, and the room will be used
hereafter for public hall only. Frank
Evans has been compelled to cancel all
engagements with troups to appear here
during the summer, which will doubtless
be quite disappointment to those with
whom time drags slowly. This move
was deemed advisable on account Of the
high rate of insurance charged on the
Minnekahta block and contents by rea-
son of the opera house being in the
building.
