first 200 feet Of tunnel, tapping the 4th
one (Paymaster) at depth of about $50
feet. This tunnel may not be run in
the place where the veins are richest,
but it will go far to demonstrate not
only the quality Of the veins cut, but,
what may be expected of the others
when they come to be tapped by another
tunnel, run in another, and perhaps
richer part Of the mountain.
The mineral belt running north and
south seems TO be about ! mile in width
at this point, contracting and narrowing
as il extends south for about Of a
mile where it is lost, being covered up
by the Potsdam series Of sandstone,
shales and limestone, from which it does
not again emerge. II is the extreme
south end Of the great mineral belt Of
the Black Hills of South Dakota.
The railroad station is but mile from
the foot of the mountain, across a level
valley. Offering every convenience for
transportation of machinery or ore.
Hot Springs lies south, a distance Of
about Is miles by wagon road, with
Edgsmont (by rail- 80 miles to the
southwest, is an easy descent, being
down grade all the way. The North
western *. X. company, shonld they
ever determine TO form a connection
with the mineral portion of the south
ern Hills, will find an open valley road,
and an easy grade from Buffalo Gap up
Beaver creek from the east, or from Hot
Springs, up Cold Brook from the south,
the distance being rather in favor Of
Buffalo Gap.
Custer City with its scores Of mines Of
profitable grade, and its rich valleys on
every side, is located only II miles
north, and these two camps will some
day offer attractions in the way Of min
eral, which an enterprising Railroad
company may find it difficult to resist.

Fail River Defeated Him.

The Rapid City Journal says Penning-
ton county delegation to the Aberdeen
convention is'not in the least downcast
for all feel that even though Judge
Gardner did not get the nomination for
congressman be made such an excellent
run that much qualification is to be got
out Of it. Referring 10 this matter
while in conversation with a Journal
reporter, c. j. Buell. stated the following
which will give the Journal readers an
idea Of the situation:
II attribute Judge Gardners defeat
purely and solely to the fact that he lost
Fall RIVER county, the second largest
county in his Judicial circuit. In the
convention his successful opponent, Mr.
Crawford, received 35i votes out Of COS,
giving him majority of fifty-one votes
The balance Of the votes were all Gard
ner votes, though portion went to Mr.
Glass by his consent on the first ballot
as a complimentary vote. 1t will be
seen therefore that change of twenty.
six votes would have defeated Mr.. Craw-
ford and nominated Judge Gardner.
Before the settlement of the Fall River
county contest, the nomination of Judge
Gardner was practically assured it vas

delegates were seated, thereby depriying

Prettiest In the Hills.

Will Warner, of the Deadwood Times,
who recently visited Sylvan lake with
his family, was very favorably i'm
pressed with that charming resort, as
the following appearing in the columns
of that paper very clearly indicates.
He says:
The prettiest place in the Black Hills
and what promises to be very popular
pleasure resort, is Sylvan lake. 1t lies
snugly nestled among great mountains
of rock on the north and west and hills
upon the east and south, six miles north
of Custer. The road is smooth, though
q steady gradual ascent Of 900 feet. In
places the country traversed is pictur-
esque and fascinating, through fine tim
ber, flowers and heavy vegetation. The
pretty lake, covering about ten acres. is
fed by springs that ooze up through the
crevices IN the rocks. ]. G. Spencer,
owner Of the resort, has spent large
sum Of money improving the lake and
surroundings. The hotel, a large three
story building, is beautiful inside and
outside. il is conveniently planned,
cheerful, elegantly finished in oil, and
having modern appointments through
out. The rooms are pleasant and in
point of furnishings will equal any
hostelry in tho northwest. Mr.. and
Mrs. c. B. Coles are managers and
exert themselves to make the soiourn
ofguests enjoyable. MIR. Coles is oblig-
ing and courteous. giving his attention
to the details of the resort. Mrs. Coles
is model housekeeper. The rooms
are as neat as q pin, and everything is
kept in good order. The fare is first
class and services likewise in fact too
much cannot be said in praise of the
Sylvan hotel. The surroundings cannot
be described in small space to do justice
to the subject, but should be seen to be
appreciated. G. c. Crary, the Custer
liveryman, conducts the transportation
line, and in J. 8. Peltz. his driver, has q
careful, obliging man. He has coed
outfits, from single buggiss to large
Concord coaches, and adapts himself to
ths convenisnce Of the travelling public.

The ticket nominated at Aberdeen for
the support Of the republicans of South
Dakota will stand any reasonable test
to which it may be put, says the Sioux
Falls Press. The nominees are men
who, when elected, will fill their vari-
Gus positions with honor to themselves
and credit to the commonwealth. 1t is
not necessary at this time TO 90 into any
details as to who they are, The larger
part Of them have already been in pub.
lie service, and the records which they
have made will be their recommends
ton to the people. The convention
which named this ticket was remark
able gathering. Probably none of its
predecessors have ever seen less acrimo.
ny among contestants for its honors.
Events connected with the national
convention had SOLDERING effect upon
the enthusiasm which usually character
ICES state political gathering. Some
of these events presented serious
problems to the delegates present at
Aberdeen. A man eminent in the
councils Of the party had taken his de-
parture therefrom and it was known
that some of his friends contemplated
similar action. The feeling was not so
much that of fear as to any defeat of the
party on account of these Incidents, as
it was OF regret for the tremendous
political mistake in which the partici-
pants were involving themselves. A
rupture of such relations as had existed
could not take place without inspiring
sorrow for the circumstance. The walk
out of Senator PettigSew at st. Louis,
and the anticipated action of majority
of the Minnshaha delegation. attracted
-csssSnsrtisrs6ngs ana Yhde pendent
Of any merely political effects, they
could not help discussing the hundreds
of friends of Senator Pettigrew, and also
of the greatest county in the state, a
majority Of whose representatives he so
thoroughly dominated. But after the
convention had opened, and the dele
gates and the large audience had seen
the proceedings inaugurated, the en-
thusiasm was aroused to even greater
extent than has been seen at some pre-
vicus gatherings. The whole spirit Of
the occasion was helpful to republican
ism, and delegates and visitors went
back to their homes melted to renewed
energy and increased determination to
plant the banners of the party still
farther to the front in this republican
state.

has created sensation in political
circles that has no precedent in the
history of party organizations in this
country, but, as compared with the

The more the money question is
talked about, says the San Francisco
Call, the more the people are impressed
with the importance of letting it rest
until the present Joseph's coat kind Of
a tariff law is repealed and one enacted
that will start up the country's idle in
dustrial enterprises and commercial
agencies. 1t would be like putting the
cart before the horse to undertake to
keep mill and factory idle until a
monetary system was agreed upon.
What the great working class want, and
