Morris Grifis, of Terry. came in the
latter part of last week, and on Tuesday
visited the limestone range west Of this
city, where ore has been recently found
bearing a very close resemblance to the
ores Of Ragged Top. He was favorably
impressed with the appearance Of the
ore, judging it from a Ragged Top stand
point, and he departed for Deadwood
on Wednesday with a sack of samples
which he proposed to have thoroughly
tested. AS the samples were all taken
from the surface, it is not expected that
the assays will run high enough to
create a general stampede to the new
Ragged Top

A rich gold discovery in any district
ofthe Black Hills has the effect of stiIn-
ulating prospecting in all districts, and
is therefore far reaching ia its beneficial
results. The strike at Ragged Top set
u prospectors thinking, and their
thinking has led to a feeling Of inquiry
as to the probability of the existence of
ores in the limestone formation west of
this place. similar in character to the
ores Of that now famous camp. The
average prospector is known to be very
inquisitive under favorable conditions,
and it begins to look as if they we're go
ing to make an effort to solve the i'm
portant problem as already a number of
locations haye been made in hat un-
developed region, and who can tell but
what we may have a Ragged Top, all
our own, in the near hence, as q most
pleasing and gratifying result. We
most sincerely hope so.
