Where is the RiderP

Ihos. O'Donnel and Thos. Nelson,
residing at Hells Canyon, about twelve
miles west of this city, have now in
their possession roam horse about nine
years old, with spade brand and bar
underneath, which came to their prem
Uses on Tuesday of last week, under cir
cumstances that would. point to the
probability of its rider having met with
a serious accident. The horse was
saddled and bridled, and a coat WAS
strapped to the saddle. There was mud,
or dirt upon the seat of the saddle,
which suggests the probability of the
horse having fallen oyer backward,
whereby the rider may have been seri,
ously injured or possibly killed. At this
writing (Monday) nothing is known
concerning the identity or fate of the
rider, but man, whose name we failed
to learn, came to the premises of
O'Donnel and Nelson a few days after
the horse was found. and recognized the
animal as one he had seen on the Sat
urday previous at Keystone, at which
time it was being led by very large
man, a stranger to him, with black
mustache. The coat is OF large size,
having breast measure of 46 inches
which corresponds with the Keystone
mans description Of the man he saw
with the horse.
1t is very probable that the unknown
rider of this animal has met with a sad
fate, the particulars of which may never
be known.

A late Huron special says "A. B.
Kittridge, national committeeman, and
forty members Of the republican state
central committee are in conference
planning for the campaign which will
begin early next month. by thoroughly
organizing the party in every township
in the state. Reports from many coun-
ties indicate that populism will not be
materially advanced by fusion with
democrats, and few republicans will
decline to support the entire republican
ticket. 1t is claimed that the loss from
the republican ranks will be more than
compensated for by democrats and
populists supporting the republican
nominees, and South Dakota will con-
tinue in the republican column on the
national and state tickets"

The Hot Springs Herald has no ex-

DAKOTA, SATURDAY, 8,

The Lincoln Journal says: Late and
authoritative reports from Illinois show
that the stories about the spread OF
silverism ''like wildfre" there are pro-
ducts of the Imagination. 1t is asserted
by sound money democrats that they
will cast nearly $4,000 votes for Nc
Kinley in Chicago alone, and that the
republican majority in the state will not
be less than 100000. The chances for a
lively fight in Indiana have been much
lessened by the decision Of the populists
to walk in the middle of the road. The
energies of the national committee can
beconcentrated in few western states
now and in two months it will bo pos
sible to announce that q victory has
been won. 1t is believed in many
quarters that the Bryan campaign will
break down of its own weight in less
than MONTH"

Cause and Effect.

Every idle factory, every man who is
without work, every American home in
which the comforts of life are not found
because there is no work to be had, every
shop which has closed it's doors not
knowing when they will again be open
ed is an object lesson of the folly and
idiocy Of the Democratic idea of placing
American labor in competition with
the pauper labor of the eastern coun-
tries. I'm Ohio alone last year there
were 5s,952 less persons employed IN
workshops and factories than in 1893
and the loss in wages was $22, ,99l ,2SO.
In 1893 the republican tariff law was in
operation. In 1895 the democratic tariff
law was in operstion.-Toledo Blade.

The wool growers of the country who
realized a fair margin of profit for their
product under the Mckinley tariff law,
will be slow in casting their ballots for
Bryan, who advocated free wool in
congress and voted for the Wilson

ceiving price for their feeces which
scarcely covers the cost of production.
If the wool growers are not Totally blind
to their own interest, their votes will
be counted in the Mckinley column.

The refusal of more than hundred
of the leading democratic newspapers of
the country to support the Chicago
platform and ticket, says the Toledo
Blade, will prove serious handicap to
the Bryan campaign. The influence of
the press means much more now than
it did twenty or even tea years ago.
Political campaigns are no longer fought
out by stump speakers and torch light
professions. The campaign orator ad :.
dressed crowd of more than two thou
sand at one point one day and greater
er less crowd at some other point the
next day. The newspaper speaks day
after day to its tens of thousands of
readers. They look to it not only for
news, but for its opinions and these
opinious gradually become the opinions
of the individual. The press and not
the platform orator is the great educator.
The loss of the leading newspapers OF
the country rs an irreparable one to the
democratic party. Thousands of dem-
ocratic votes will 60 with their party
organs. Lacking newpaper support the
democratic cause must laneuish. 1t is
factor which will make the defeat oi
Bryan all the more overwhelming.

RICH GOLD ORE.

b. l.. Salmon returned yesterday from
Kansas City, near which point the re
finery is located, where some ten days
since he and Dave Morgan went with
shipment of ore from the Reddy mine
which is located here in Lead. Their
trip was very satisfactory as we'll as
profitable one Their richest ore of which
they had $3.50 pounds, will net them
little upwards of ten thousand dollars to
the ton. Their next grade Of ore, of
which they had several tons, while not
quite so rich was equally satisfactory

The mining outlook in the immediate
vicinity of Custer has never been so
bright as it is at this writing. The
same may be said of other districts of
the Hills which is very gratifying fact,
and perhaps more generally credited
than the proposition first stated. The
press of the northern Hills report the
recent discovery of ore bodies of fabu-
lous richness, yielding as high as ten
thousand dollars to the ton, and no one
questions the validity of their claims.
1t is different here. The most important
discovery ever made in this district was
recently given publicity through the
medium of the CHRONICLE without Great
ing even the faintest ripple of excite
ment. This is by no means surprising.
1t would indeed be surprising if it were
otherwise. While we are fully con-
vinced Of the merits of our mineral
deposits, we may not reasonably expect
that the world will imbibe our naked
statements in the absence of any pro-
duction of mineral whatever. 1t is easy
to believe that veins of phenomenal
richness may be found in camp like
Lead, with large, continuous and in
creasing output, but to try to- convince
the world that there is any merit
in the mines of twenty year old
non producing camp by any declaration,
however positive and emphatic such
declarations may be made, is the acme
of folly. 1t is simply impossible. The
world, or that portion of it that is in
possession of capital, accepts nothing
without the proof, and relies only upon
the demonstration of propositions OF
this character. Nothing short of the
actual profitable production of gold will
convince the outside world of the pres.
ence of the yellow metal in payable
quantity in this district. and we await
with firm and increasing hope the
demonstration of the truth of our past
declarations with reference to the sur
passing merits of our mines, which
declarations are now, and will doubtless
continue for time to be accepted with
large grain of allowance. Fully salts.
fed by a careful study of the situation
that this camp will, before the close Of
the current year, attract attention as q
gold producer, we are content to wait
and let time determine what we now
declare that, it has never been anything
short of the dn6iluded truth We haye
been telling about our mines, which in
the early gilded hence may be relied
upon to speak for themselves.

PRINGLE MINING NOTES


Work is being continued in the shaft
on the Gray Copper mine near Pringle
and fair progress is being made. The
ore encountered maintains its charac.
ter, there being no perceptible change
at the present depth. The tunnel
being run at Demereau noun
tain is progressing satisfactorily. The
tunnel being run with view to tapping
four distinct veins at depths varying
from % to $50 feet, and it is expected
that the first vein will be encountered
about the latter part of next week. The
promoters of these mining enterprises,
which are both under the same manage
ment, are very confident of successful
results, which confidence is said to be
fairly warranted by the numerous tests
which have been made upon the oi es
embraced in the mammoth veins now
in course Of development.
