a correspondent from Custer county.
Ida-, writes as follows concerning the
mining Industry: Custer is exper-
iencing a revival of the good old DAYS
when il was one of the liveliest camps
in the state. The companies operating
here together employ about 200 men.
The old Custer mill is running thirty
stamps steadily on ore from the Lucky
Boy mine. The mine is looking very
encouraging The prospect shaft is
down to the 400-foot level and drifts
are being run each way in a good ore
body. In a few days q diamond drill
will be put in, and with it the ledge
viii be prospected several hundred feet
below the lower workings This is the
first shaft that has ever been sunk to
any depth liz this locality, and will
determine the probability of deem
mining in this camp. The Fourth Of
July mill is kept busy with its ten
stamps crushing ore from the Black
mine. All clean-ups SO far have been
very satisfactory, and there is enough
ore in sight to keep the mill busy for
some time to come. Custer is an all
around. up-to-date mining camp -
