SUGGESTIVE OF BLAcKMAlL.

The question arises TO Southern
Hills miner, how is it that in one part
of the Black II ills country large com
panies operat 9 and in the other, the
claims, many of them very rich in prec-
ious metals, are still in the hands of
the original holders? Several repre-
sentatives of capital have visited these
mines and have returned favorable
reports. This was all the good it did
for the mine owner as the companies
did nothing after receiving the report.
y representative of The Express has
interviewed several of the residents of
the Southern Hills. and from one who
is we'll posted are the following facts
given: "The evidences of the eNis-
tence of organized opposition on the
part of Deadwood men to the sale of
of mining properties flom which they
cannot secure a commission is too evil
dent to be doubted and that their eff
forts are specially directed against the
sales of mines in the Southern Hills,
is fact which has been made painful
ly evident in several recent instances.
To cite a few instances which are we'll
authenticated. The representative of
an English company sent out to exam
inc and report on Southern Hills
property recently stated, that his com
pany had received letters in London,
from Deadwood men advising them to
have nothing to do with Southern Hills
mining properties. a distinguished
French chemist who recently visited
the Hills was repeatedly given the
same advice while in Deadwood. Sew
eral instances have recently occured d
where sale has been blocked from
the same source after satisfactory on
aminations had been made and the
purchase money deposited

Health and Hapuiness

Advice Tint Has . Direct Bearing on
Health and Happiness.
Perhaps you have all heard or read
the advice contained in the following
'don'ts," but it is good enough to be
repeated over and over again. We take
them from u paper that seems to think
as we do about it,:
Don't catch cold. Catching cold is
much more preventable than it is gen.
orally supposed to be. Keep your feet
warm and dry, your head cool, your
chest we'll protected. Avoid exposure
with an empty stomach Take care not
to cool off suddenly when you are heat.
ed Keep out of drafts. wear fame.
and be careful generally.
Don't sleep in the same flannels that
you wear during the day
Don't wear thin stockings or light
soled shoes in cold or in wet weather.
Don't neglect personal cleanliness,
but use the bath with moderation and
i'll accordance with your general health
The daily cold bath is all right for the
rugged, but it is a great tax upon the
vitality of weak persons and should not
be indulged in if the results are at all
doubtful Tepid water is always better
for those that are not in robust health.
Judge for yourself.
Don't keep the sun out OF your living
rooms and your sleeping rooms. Sun
light is absolutely necessary to put in
proper condition the air that we breathe.
Don't neglect your house drainage.
The first condition of the family s
heath is Il dry, sweet atmosphere.

DR.. Diet and DIR. Exercise are the best
doctors in the world. .-Philadelphia

WILL COMMENCE AT ONCE.

From reliable authority The Journal
is informed that the st. Elmo Gold
Mining Company has recently perfec-
ted arrangements for the erection of
twenty stamp mill on Sunday gulch
near the ST. Elmo mine. ten miles
n,rth of Custer. Work on the mine
Yi,f,commence at once with Il force of
twenty Nniners, under charge of super
intendent James Mcdonald. The st.
Elmo is one of the richest free-milling
gold mines in the Black Hills. Some
of the decomposed ore gave results as
high as $3.50 to IA single pan. In 1882
the ledge was lost. For several years
thereafter nothing more than the as
4sessment work was done ON the prop
Serty. In doing the assessment work
for several years past. small seam
was followed which gradually opened
out until now an ore body fourteen
feet wide is disclosed. Selected sam
ples assay from $3.50 to 5000 per ton.
while several general samples of the
whole mine give an average result of
S124. 80 per ton. Rapid City Journal.

THE MINING INTERESTS.
Notes Concerning Some of the Important
Mining Interests of the Black
Hills
JOHN PIERCE GETS BACK.

John Pierce, SO we'll known in the
Hills through his connection with the
big mining deal pending at Lead, which
he inaugurated IA year ago, arrived this
morning from an eastern trip, having
gone as far as New York. He is not
saying much about the big gtransaction,
but persons on the inside announce
that there is now an excellent prospect
of something being accomplished. Mr..
Pierce has been east little more than
a month, and during that time the int
crest of the intended purchasers has
been taken care of on the ground by
Col. l.. c. Twombly, who is still at Lead.
1t has been given out witha great de-
gree of confidence that at least part
of the ground under bond isto be taken
Immediately. and that a payment will
be made.-Pioneer-T Times.

THE NATIONAL HOME
What Shall Hot Springs do Toward Pro-
curing Meeting Called for
saturday Night.

Everybody seems agreed that some
thing should be done upon the part of
Hot Springs toward endeavoring to Sc
cure action by congress this winter
concerning the location of the Nation
al Home for disabled volunteer veter-
ans at this place. Various schemes
have been suggested looking to some
active effort in that direction. Some
think that representative should be
sent from this city to Washington who
will devote his entire time to lobbying
for the Home. There are others who
think that the services of Col. Averill,
the national inspector of Soldiers
Homes, should be secured at Washing
ton: while others have suggested print
ing large number of the bills as in
troduced and passed in the senate last
winter by Senator Pettigrew. togeth
er with as many copies of the
committee report, which report.
contains all the main arguments made
in behalf of Hot Springs. which is a
very valua5 Die pamphlet. 1t has been
determined to hold public meeting
at the city hall Saturday evening to de-
eide upon some plan of action aud ap.
point committees to take charge of the
matter. We believe it will be wise to
place the matter with an executive
committee. composed of "a number of
the representative men of the city.
though the public meeting should in
dicate to the committee what course
it consider best. Let the Saturday
evening meeting at the city hall mt 7:3O
be attended by every resident who is
interested in obtaining the National
Home. An argument for the benefits
to the city of such an institution
would be superfuous. an d it is not nee
essary we hope to urge upon any one
the Importance of their presence Sat-
urday night. These things do not
come without an effort, and now is the
time to start the matter.

REPORTED SALE OF THE KEYSTONE.

If the Holy Terror has really pur-
chased the Keystone it will be a fortu-
nate circumstance for keystone and
the whole Southern Hills. Under the
able and conservative management of
John j. Fayel the Holy Terror has been
BROUGHT from rich prospect through
period of dead work and
nonproductiou to the standing of a
regular dividend paying mine. The
stock which three months ago might
have been bought at % cents Il share,
is now hard to get at zoo, as the divi
dend of 3 cents per month on the par
value of S1OO amounts to 56 per cent.
per annum. AS northern Hills en-
change puts it, "Manager Fayel with Il
ten stamp mill and but forty men is
paying over one-fourth as much month
ly as the Homestake company with it's
72O stamps and 1900 men," This is a
phenominal record. 1t proves that the
Southern Hills lodges. under proper
operation, are really productive, and
there is little doubt that the great vein
of the keystone under Manager Fayel's
supervision will yield rich returns.
