are taken IL said "a 1 be to secure
control 81 al the ground lying be-
tween Poor man and the Homestake
Terra and DeSmet. No bonds are
taken on ground west of Poorman or
north of Deadwood gulches. They
only want free milling properties.
The bonds are supposed to b. taken
for the Rothschild s syndicate which
recently purchased the Anaconda Of
Butte, Mont. It is said that when
title to this ground has been secured
the sJ Indicate will then buy a con-
trolling interest of the Homestake
at $38 per shore, or on total valu-
ton of 81, $50, 600. and that the high
land, Caledonia, DeSmet, Deadwood-
Terra, Pierce and other holdings of
the Homestake syndicate will be in
cluded in the deal, as will also the
water and railroad. This is mere
speculation with the Pioneers infor-
nation; but it is true that experts
have been here and that a large
number Of properties have been
bonded at good figures.
The reader who is familiar with
the situation can do his own specul-
ating as to the advantages or dis
advantages that will accrue to the
county by such a deal or of the
mammoth plant to be erected. He
now moves as much about it as we
do. AS this information was talked
OF in public places, no confidence is
betrayed in its publication.

An Explanation.

DR.. Marsh Petit. the specialist. left
Tor a short business tripto the Northern
Hills. The doctor when interviewed by
a reporter, stated his $ for com
ing to Rapid CITY. He is trying to build
up a practice in the Hills in his special
ties, which are the Diseases of Women
and all Chrome and Nervous Diseases.
tie has MADE his headquarters in Dead
wood since his coming, and treats hls
patients by correspondence from that
place. Since May LIST he has reated
and is now treating IN the Hills over los
patients with very satisfactory results.
He makes no pretense OF superior
knowledge, ONLY, that IN special study
Of special diseases, more minute
knowledge Tor successful treatment can
be acquired.
During the past week DR.. Petltt has
delivered a highly instructive course of
scientific lectures at Library hall.
The object OF these lectures were the
moral and mental good they would rio,
and was also a very nice means OF COM
ming before this people. We can say
candidly. without fear OF contradiction
that the lecture cOu1se recently de-
livered was the best that has been IN
the city for years. They would speak
well Tor the gentleman who delivered
them If he had no other means OF Rocco
mendation.
Doctor Petltt stated that his fees
would he wlthir the reach of all; he has
decided to charge ten dollars per month
Tor treatment and he furnishes all medi-
clnes-corresponding with his patients
every Friday Of each week. As the eases
when ne accepts are all chronic cases,
that talks time to remedy, we think this
Il very good system of procedure. or
course after q proper diagnosis the pa
tent can be treated by letter as we'll as
not.
This public has been imposed upon in
the past by travelling specialists so that
many OF our citizens here lack confidence
to Il great extent. Yet we are candid IN
saying that we believe Doctor Petit has
merit and ability and should be patro-
MED. The doctor will only remain a
limited time and those desiring his SER
vices should call early.

battery. Finally i shot broke .
hole il the wall through which .
man could pass, and when the miners
got to the bottom Of the shaft q cur
rant Of air was issuing with force
enough to blow their hats off, and
the drills that had been lost were re
covered. To those familiar with a
limestone formation the discovery is
not strange, as su%bterranean cham
bers are of frequent occurrence caused
by the action of water, but how the
ore was deposited there's a mystery.
The entire chamber is lined with
crystals, that dazzle the eyes when
a light is turned on them. The shaft
will continue through the limestone,
which, i sis beloved, does not reach
to any great distance.
Other mine owners on the belt are
pushing ahead sturdily stimulated by
frequent new discoveries and the
prodigious returns from the ore they
r shipping. A car is being loaded
with ore from the Eilenberg fraction
and W. H. Dacy is taking out ore
constantly, most Of it from the open
cut. although the ore found in the
shaft is sampled and saved. Messrs
Swain, Hays and Wildly, who have
leased a portion of the Iva and the
Gossam, two claims belonging to
johnson & Whiting, have one Of the
best propositions on the works.
They have leased that portion of the
ground along the line Of three separ-
ate but parallel Lodges, managing to
get 1900 feet of ore, which appears
at the surface almost the entire
distance.

WELDON, N. c., Aug. 20, 1896.
Miss Agnes MCGEE of Weldon was
crossing a high bridge in Mush Island

nearly across the bridge the horse be-
came frightened at a hole in one OF the
blanks and backed off the bridge dis
lance OF about 20 feet, the buggy fall

them out with little trouble
An excursion passed here from Nor

colored people took advantage of the
cheap trip and joined the excursionists.
Our school building will soon be
