The Black Hills Mining Review, pub
lished in Deadwood, the only exclusive
mining paper existing within the auri-
ferrous limits of the richest 100 miles
square" doth seem, in IL opinion, 9
trife too exclusive.
1t is over exclusive in this, that it is
manifestly Inclined TO exclude all ne n
ton of mines located south of the line
indicating the southern boundary OF
Pennington county. If Ike would make
this locality a visit at this time, we
would direct his attention to q nun Der

beer determined by tests made in his
own town, and noted by local contem-
peraries, concerning which lie declines
to make any mention whatever.
The area of tho entire Black Hills
region is small as compared with tiyIt
of other mining countries, and that
Custer county forms a part Of il, is an
important fact that should not be disre-
garded by q paper purporting to be the
mining organ OF the Black Hills as a
whole.
While il must be conceded that this
district has not attained O measure Of
development that would bear COMPARE
son with many others, it is nevertheless
a section of rare promise. as conclusive
ly shown by the limited developments
made, and it is a most palpablc nantes
tation of mistaken judgment on the
part Of the Review TO ignore its exis-
tatce.
1t would very naturally he expected
that n paper devoted exclusively to the
mining interests of the Hills, (as it's
title would indicated would include in
its scope all Of the various districts en-
braced in the region it purports to rep
resent, but that this section has not
been so included may be readily seen
by a psrusal Of its issues published dur
ing the past three months. Come up

companion of the man who had first
spoken. "but you said 20. You know"
Six more people. including two wom-

what was wrong with the cornice, and
a rumor was in circulation that so,,c
one had tried to throw O child ont Of

denied by the man vino knows it all and
who Is always present on such TN occa-

and had taken refuge ON the roof, where
they were preparing to do battle with

Tho Wheel and England.

Take the Great North road. Except
upon market days. one might have trav-
eled any 80 miles along it between
Highgatc and York without meeting 80
people. Towns which literally lived by
the road had driftcd into n helplessly
somnolent condition, from which no ap-
parent human agency could awaken
them, and the stranger thereto was stared
at as much IA If he had been high
lander or an Iroquois in full warpaint
The highway itself, being of no particu-
lar value to anybody since the Great
Northern railway began to whirl the
old patrons Of the road along ut 40
miles all hour, was allowed 10 decay,
and in wet seasons or snowy weather
was well nigh impossible.
The rage for wheeling has produced a
rapid transformation. Station yourself
at any point you like. and try to count
the machines which pass on fine Sat
urday afternoon duriDg the course of an
hour. and you will soon abandon the
task as hopeless. Then. consider tina;
every rider Of every machine spends
something during his trip, even if it be
but the cost Of q temperance drink
Consider that very large number of
Saturday riders sleep ont and make
good meals during their journey; that
they are constantly spending something
over and above their actual travelling ex-
penses; that the wonderful extension Of
our acquaintance with our own country
resulting from these peaceful invasions
of it by the inhabitants, not merely of the
metropolis. but Of every city and consid-
cradle town in the land. has led to the
refurbishing up Of such local lions as
the castle. or the abbey, or the great

or the view (the inspection Of all of

and an approximate idea may be gained
of the influence upon national trade
