r. w. Kidd, Of Cincinnati, Ohio, who
has extensive placer interests on French
creek, near this place, which engaged
his attention last season, returned from
his eastern home on Sunday, where he
spent the winter with his family. Mr..
Kidd will resume operations upon his
mining property in a short time, and
upon a much more extensive scale than
last season. 1t is probable that his
family may come to Custer sometime
during the coming summer, and that he
may make this place his permanent
home, which could not be otherwise
than pleasing to his numerous friends
in this community.

Strange as it may appear, it is never.
thelesa a fact, that there has been no
report of the air ship having been seen
by any Of our residents. Custer is one
of the few towns of any prominence,
where this strange nocturnal wonder
has not been reported as having been
seen, q fact which reflects much credit
upon her citizens inasmuch as it will be
accepted as a sure indication of their
sobriety and truthful character, and
therefore, the statement, which we
publish as a mere matter of news, can
not fail 10 be an excellent advertisement
for the place.
