The Deadwood Pioneer submits the
following sound and sensible article
concerning the present brilliant min
ing outlook in the Hills. every line Of
which is in perfect harmony with
the CHRONICLES views in this direction I:
There has never been a time in the
history Of the Black Hills when the OPP
portunities for profitable inyestment in
mining properties were as favorable as
at present, and there has never been a
time when the actual values Of our
mining properties were so easily dem
onstratable. The search for gold during
the past three years has shown that
there is no area of equal size on the
globe SO rich in precious minerals.
From Carbonate in the north tc Custer
in the south the country is one vast
mining camp, awaiting the advent Of
capital for its development, and as GER
tain to give returns vastly in excess of
expenditures as the most profitable
commercial or industrial enterprise
known TO the civilized world. The time
has passed, even if II has ever been,
when legitimate mining can be clsssed
as q game, in which a maximum OF luck
and a minimum of skill are the domi-
Isht factors. !n these days cf dep-sss-
sion and failure in the ordinary chan
nels of business, mining, if established
and conducted with the care with which
the average man approaches any enter
prise, is the most certain of fair returns.
With recent improvements in the
methods Of reducing ores. low grade
propositions, which but few years ago
were comparatively worthless, are now
valuable, and the opportunities for
handsome profits have been more than
doubled. 1t is not too much to say that
within a short time the number of ship
ping mines will be surprise even to
those most familiar with the wonderful
development of the past few years. 1t
requires no more capital TO develop q
mining property than il does to estab-
lish a mandatory, and all that 10 asked
by the miners is that parties with capital
who fail to find opportunities for profit
able investment among the established
industries of the country come and
examine the mines for themselves.
Prospectors, as rule, are the most
rcnDrOus Of men. They know the value

CHEESE AND COURTSHIP.

Aristocracies In different places and ages
have prided themselves on many different
things. One OF the queerest, perhaps, is
the aris;ocracy according to cheeses.
which. according TO the Neue Zuricher Eel
tung. prevails among the, patriarchs of
Zermatt. The aristocracy of families is
valued by the number and age of the
cheeses they possess. There are families
who possess cheeses made at the time OF
the French revolution. When child Is
born a cheese is manufactured, which Is
then called by the name Of the child. II Is
partly eaten when its namesake gets mar
ried. each wedding guest tasting portion.
The cheese is then put away again, and
finally cut into and finished at the funeral
of the person whose name it bears. When
a young man woos a maiden. he begs TO be
allowed 10 dine with her family on Sun
day. His offer being accepted, the lovers
wait anxiously to see whether the girls
father will cause the cheese 10 be set on
the table. At the end Of the long meal If
all goes well. the master of the house SOL
EMMY fetches the cheese bearing the
would-be brides name, sets 1t on the table
cuts II, and gives a piece TO the young
couple. When they have eaten 1t they are
a betrothed pair. The others at the table
partake of the cheese and drink TO the
eternal friendship of the two families

DRIFTING.

We drifted far meath summer skies
Through golden hours so warm and fleet,
We looked into each others eyes
And only knew that love was sweet.
The wind went down: the setting sun
Owed red the waters as she went,
We dipped our oars till day was done
Into a liquid armament.
And still we rowed, the sun went down:
What cared We? we who knew no fear!
After the dim lights of the town
Told that evening mists were near.
The night dews fell as one by one
Perished the far lights of the town;
The evenings silence had begun
And twinkling stars looked wondering
down.
We dropped our oars and drifted long
Upon that calm. that starlit sea;
wild bird sang a fitful song,
He, too, could voice loves melody.
The smiles had faded from our lips
And silence told of deep content;
There in the evenings sweet eclipse
Our love became sacrament.
7 wonder IL some day when 1
Nav drift no more upon life's sea,
But drop my oars, II l shall drift
AS calmly to eternity.
