The Hill City News reports the clean.
up OF run Of Sunnyside ore at the J.
r. mill which resulted in an agreeable
surprise to the owners, the proceeds
greatly exceeding all expectations.
a cleanup was made at the Custom
mill this week on three hundred tons
OF ore from the Lucky Boy mine. The
result will not be made public, but John
Lintz, one of the owners of the mine
informs US that developments will be
pushed in the mine and the milling of
the ore will be resumed in about two
weeks. Meanwhile the mill will be
run on ores from the Juniper and other
mines.-Miner.
A five ton smelter is being put in at
Rockford by Mr.. Kershaw aud his asso.
ciates, and will start up for an expert
mental run on the ores ofthe Alpha and
Omega mines, in few days. 1t is said
that, in the event Of the run proving
sssjsfactory.a large smelling plant will
be established there next year, for the
treatment Of the ores that, il is believed,
exist in untold abundance in that much
neglected, but nevertheless promising
district.
Col Fred Evans has been in Spearfish
several days this week, putting in the
most Of his time betreen this place and
the canyon. Mr.. Evans was up to
Iessrs Todd, Smith and Gates mining
property, where the read is being put in
Wednesday, and says that district has
the greatest future in store for it Of any
portion of the Hills. He has purchased
several claims adjoining the one belong
ing to the above gentlemen, upon which
the recent rich find was made. They
have large ledge exposed, from which |
the assays run S274 per ton in gold. the |
piece from which the assay was made |
many tons within itself |
Monday afternoon Mr.. Smith made six |
assays on the property all of which run
from $40 to S274 per ton. There seems
to be no doubt as to the size of the BODY !
OF ore and every indication points to it
getting larger as they 60 in.-Spearfsh |

decessors have done. We can endure
an occasional epidemic of American
~aristocracy better anywhere else than
in this city.
Unless this folly is checked by plain
and vigorous public opinion, we shall
have another race before our grand
children are grown; a race of chu1np1
who viii form societies of the Daugh-
tiers of the Civil War. And many Of
them will be descendants Of deserters
and bounty-jumpers, suffers or camp
followers. The men who fought be-
tween 1861 and 1865 were not hghting to
establish an ancestry of idiots. They
were fighting to preserve the union.
The men of the south were notfghtinR
to set up an ancestry of l~azzaroni. They
believed that they were establishing q
new republic. Their descendants must
not establish an Order Of Jefferson
Davis; or a Society Of Robert E. Lee.
Such things look all the more ridicu-
lous when we put them in the future.
They are bad enough in the present.
Let us be done with them.

WOMEN AND MEN IN ENGLAND.
Their Relations to Each Other in the
Lower and Middle Classes.

Their Relations to Each Other in the
Lower and Middle Classes.
Zone day in Chdring Cross station,
London says a oma recently re-
turned from a considerable stay IN the
English metropolis, 81 noticed four
young men walking up and down the
platform, smoking and twirling their
ane Presently from a t~hird-class car
liage of an incoming train stepped four
good-looking girls, weighed down with
shawls, lunch baskets, and ~valises. BY
the men, who had evidently been wait
ing for them, they were cordially greet
ed, but not relieved of their luggage. So
far as my eyes could follow their prog
ress, 1 saw the girls still dragging their
belongings, and the men twirling their
canes.
'The incident strikingly illustrates
the attitude taken toward mn by
Englishmen OF the people and the lower
middle class. English women of no
class have as nearly freed themselves.
from the help cf the men as the Ameri-
cans; the lower. classes have not begun
emancipation, Fhe new gospel has not

The attitude of an English girl
toward her young man is of an inferior
toward a superior. When walking with
him Sunday afternoon she is hn1mbly
receptive. She permits herself no as
sertion or preferences, If the young
man in his mightiness chooses to make
"a remark, she smiles. If he questions,
she shakes her head or sighs a mono
syllable. If he wishes to sit down, she
sits down. If he desires to kiss her, she
let's herself be kissed. She accepts every
thing as from a god. That the Y e Of
the deity may not be offended, she is
gowned in her best. Half her head is
covered with woolly curls, protected
from the breezes and the fog by the net
of consecrated fashion. Her faring hat,
covered with cheap flowers, is airiIy
pinned on the neckward slope of her
head. With no coquetry other than this
rluming of her person does she at
tempt to please her future lord.

ans intellectual life. An English set

The bitterest and most relentless
foe that the south ever had is the
republican party. All of the politi-
cal evils that the south has suffered
since the republican party came in
to existence and power sprang from
that party. The republican party
deprived Southern States OF their
individuality, put criminals in auth
ority in their temples of justice,
turned thieves into the state treas
uries and their legislatures and held
them there at the point of the bay
onet. 1t melted the recently freed
slaves to deeds Of violence, and
made liberty a farce. The people
of the south have not forgotten and
will not forget the republican party's
part in that black page of American
history. All that the south is today
she owes to the democratic party.
She will, therefore, bear much from
that party before she will desert it.

now being used, and of the latest
improvements. Cotton mills and
factories of all kinds are now among
the enterprises of our large cities.
our vast and inexaustible supply of
timbers IS being eagerly ssught
after and emigration of a valuable
and thrifty characters is steadily
flowing in upon us and we gladly
welcome them. Truly it appears
that the dawning of new southern
era is upon us. The true character of
the sOutherner and this beautiful
southland is becoming generally
known and this the garden spot of
the world is being saught after,

RUN TO EARTH.
A Gang of COlored Iron Mountain Car
Thieves Caught and Jailed.


Breaking open and robbing
freight cars, is one thing all rail
roads have to contend with, and
they are made to pay claims every
day from the raids on their cars.
Sometimes they trace the thefts to
their own employees and in other
cases fail entirely to learn where
the goods in transit have been pur-
loined, with even the system of
checking in and out OF cars now in
vogue.
The Iron Mountain road has been
a heavy looser at this place for sew
eral years, and have failed to catch
up with the parties robbing the cars
until last night.
About six weeks ago two detec-
tives arrived here, and went to
work on the case, TO see if they
could not ferret out who was doing
all of the stealing at this point.
They visited some of thestores on
the outskirts of town and found
some of the same kind of goods
with the brands on them from the
houses doing the shipping On
making enquiry, as to where the
goods we're bought, the merchants
would say from a negro.
Even a barrel of whisky was found
in a negro saloon and Identified as
one that was stolen, and the
proprietor was free to tell
from whom he bought it
and the price paid. After getting
all the evidence they desired they
laid a surprise for the rascals, and
last night Sheriff Dillard and Depu-
ty Charles Bramble in company
with the detectives surrounded the
negroe house, whom they suspect
ed and with search warrants ran
in on him and took him in. Six ar
rests were made and that many
men were placed in Jail. The prems
ises on being searched yielded up
many valuable packages of goods
which had been stolen from time to
time.
We learn some ten or a dozen bar
rels of whiskey has been taken from
