Eagle Harbor on her last regular trip up,
to do some telegrapbing to the Duluth
agents. The steamer lost one her

French Taught In sixty Lessons.

Mr.. l.. L. Herla, formerly OF Paris, who
has been here giving lessons in French
since last winter, feeling that but few per-
sons have time to study the language
thoroughly, but desire only to be able to

has prepared course, consisting OF sixty
lessons, which will enable the student to
make use Of the knowledge he or she may
acquire from the very beginning, and 30
that at the end OF the course any atten-
tive student will have a comprehensive
idea, il not complete knowledge, OF the
language, and will be able to express
most OF his own thoughts in the French
language.
The fee will be so cents a week, and for
which two lessons will be given. TIE
course is intended for adults, but young
people having a knowledge of English
grammar will be admitted.

Repeated references ofthe CHRONICLE
in relation to the total absence Of fire
protection in Custer, has set the people
| thinking, and as thoughtful considera.
tion Of this vital question could not fail
to create feeling of alarm in the minds
of our citizens, and largely stimulate
their anxiety to tale the necessary
steps in the direction of early relief
from the present exposed condition of
their property, il is pleasing to note
that the matter has become a leading
topic Of discussion. In view of the in
terest now being manifested by our cit
izens, the CHRONICLE would suggest that
this would be time, most opportune,
for the calling Of mass meeting with a
view to the general discussion of the
question, and the formulation Of some
definite and practical plan whereby this
very important object may be attained.
1t is to be devoutly hoped that this vital
question may be continuously agitated,
the ball kept rolling and that our cit
izens may keep hammering' until the
much needed and very desirable object
is finally achieved.

A Proper Move.

With view to uniting the various
towns of the Hills for cooperation with
the eastern part Of the state in the mat
ter Of inducing immigration TO the state
by methods proposed at the late immi-
grafton convention held at Mitchell,
Fred T. Evans addressed a communica.
ton to the executive officers Of the
different Hills towns. suggesting the
advisability of the appointment of a
committee from each, to attend a meet
ing at Deadwood on Thursday, last with
that object in view. The move is good
one, and we hope it may meet with
general approval. We were not advised
before going to press, of the result of the
meeting.

Another Hills History.

Doc. Pierce, formerly of Hot Springs,
now located at Yellow Pine, Alabama,
is said to be engaged in writing q his
tory # the Black Hills. The following
brief note Of inquiry addressed by him
to the editor Of the CHRONICLE, would
indicate such an intention, and further
that it was not his purpose to omit a
mention therein Of the sensational in.
cidents occurring in the region in the
wild and woody days Of the remote but
unforgotten past. Under date Of Jan.
18th, he submits the following:

THE LAST CALL.

The CHRONICLE has made repeated
calls upon those who are in arrears on
subscription, and thus fai with provok-
ingly poor success. With the large ex-
pense incurred in building new office,
and in the purchase of a new press, and
other supplies to replace those destroyed
by fire in July last, our financial situa-
ton, by reason of failure on the part
Of delinquents to respond to our appeal,
has become critical and fairly intolerable
We make another-the last call, before
adopting harsher means, which we will
be compelled to do, in the event Of this
last call being unheeded. In some
instances wind has been utilized as a
motive power, but it has never been
successfully employed in running q
newspaper,is therefore becomes an alb,
solnte necessity for us to have money TO
meet our obligations. Will our delin-
quent subscribers realize this fact and
make an earnest and immediate effort
to settle their accounts, and thereby
relieve US of our present embarrassment
and save themselves additional ex-
pense? For short time We await
reply.

A large number of furious citizens
were assembled ut the Chadron, Neb.,
postoffice few days ago, whose fury
had its origin in the fact that the post
master had locked them out of their
boxes for nonpayment of box rent. Re-
peated efforts were made to open the
boxes without avail, and finally when
the true inwardness of the situation
dawned upon them, many made the best
of bad case, going demurely down into
their jeans and producing the required
half dollar, which was the only effective
open sesame to their mail by the box
route. Those who were not in position
to liquidate, sullenly took their places at
the foot of the line and awaited their
turn at the general delivery window,
burdened with pent up aEathemas
against Uncle Sam for the iron clad
character of his postofice rules.

About the Size of II.

The Lead Call, in q recent issue, has
the following relating to the numerous
gold strikes being made in the southern
Hills: at is remarkable IL dav passes
in the southern Hills and there is no new
strike of ore. The continued finds urge
prospectors to renew their efforts in the
hopes of finding good ore and in many
instances their efforts are rewarded.
The future of the southern Hills is as
sured. All the good strikes made 30
far, and they are many, were just un-
der the grass roots. There is no telling
what large bodies Of ore underlay that
country as the deepest shaft is only 200
feet and that is only at one place, the
keystone mine, at keystone. 1t is not
uncommon to find shafts deeper than
200 feet in the northern Hills which are
sunk by prospectors, Every strike
made in the southern Hills Is enorm.
ously rich and they continue to make
new strikes every day."

Colorado expends 100000 per month
to advertise her mineral resources. and
the result is that anxious investors from
all parts of the civilized world are liter
ally falling over each other in their mad
rush TO get there and pour out their
shining shekels at her feet. A safe
estimate of the amount spent monthly
for corresponding purpose by the
Black Hills. may be reached by cutting
off the fractions used in expressing the
amount expended by Colorado, and the
result is reversed. When the fact is
considered that opportunities for profit
able mining investments are as favor
able and inviting in the Black Hills, as
they are in Colorado or any other
known region, the benefit of advertising
becomes most glaringly apparent.

Newspaper accounts relating to the

Newspaper accounts relating to the
much mooted Cripple Creek mining
camp, are only equalled in the matter
of their conflicting character by the
Cuban war dispatches. While many
papers paint picture Of that much
mentioned camp so intensely attractive
as to be fairly irresistible, indicating
that all is gold that glitters there. and
that all risk in securing it in any desir-
ed quantity is forestalled by its abundant
presence on every hand, there are other
accounts published which turn the
former attractive picture to the wall,
presenting the other side, which dis
closes very different phase. The lat
ter picture presents a scene in which is
portrayed, thousands Of persistent pros
pectors actively engaged with pick and
drill, diligently searching for the yet
undiscovered pay streak. 1t also shows,
in the gloomy background. thousands of
brawny sons oftoil who have been lured
go that alleged modern Golconda by the
former picture, who are awaiting with
the utmost degree of anxiety for the
improbable opportunity Of earning
livelihood by the sweat OF their brow.
For every mine portrayed in this pic
ture, which pays margin Of profit in
its operation, hundreds are shown
which have not paid the cost of work
ing, and more unfavorable situation
for the moneyless man, seeking an op-
portunity to improve his financial con-
dition, could scarcely be imagined. The
two pictures are presented without
comment, but to those who are contem-
plating a visit to that region, their care
full contemplation is especially recon-
mended, In view Of preventing future
regrets in the possible event of the
latter picture proving to be a true reflex
of the existing situation.
