The Fish Hatchery.

II. Van Dyer, fish commissioners from
Washington, has been III Spcartish for
the past ten days looking up a suitable
location for the hatchery for which the
government appropriated $4,000 some
time ago. Mr.. Van Dyer saysthc spring
on the Johnson place south Of town
furnishes an ideal location for a hatch
cry and has all the necessary qnaliica-
tons as to temperature, food supply, etc.
The authorities at Washington instruct
ed that only 81 600 vas TO be paid for
a site. In view Of the excellent loca.
ton Mr.. Van Dyer says he would re
commend g, 900 for an eight acre site
on Mr.. Johnston's place. Mr.. Johnston
seems TO have an idea the government
can not get along without it and asks IS,
900. Unless he can be induced to come
down on his figures to within two or
three times what the property is worth
Spearish will probably get no hatchery
as this is the only suitable location near
town.-Register.

Communicated.

EDITOR CHRONICLE:
In the Black Hills Mining Review of
July 10Th, there vas an article on min
ing in Venezula, which states that
Henry c. Rathbon says: There will
never be q great mine developed by
white men in the northern states Of
South America, for no white man can
stand the climate"
Mr.. Rathbon evidently was no where
but in the most unhealthy portion of
Venezula, in the vicinity of British
Guiana. All the country west Of there
is remarkably healthy, with as fine a
climate as is to be found anywhere, the
thermometer ranging from 100 to $50
Far. Fevers and pulmonary complaints
are unknown. The inhabitants live to
an advanced age, in one place there
being 1870 persons oyer the age Of 100.
| took thirteen men with me from New
York, and there was not a days sickness
among them. | was there a part of two
years and never enjoyed better health.
The n. +. trade winds blow constantly
off the Atlantic, and surely they can
carry no miasma, and they extend far
into the interior. ] saw no rain except
ing in the fall of the year. There can
be nc doubt about the mineral wealth
but little prospecting has been done.

Resigned.

It is with regret that we learn Of the
resignation Of Prof. j. Clems Smith, who
has so satisfactorily filed the chair of
mineralogy in the state school Of mines
1t Rapid City. lie has been offered,
and We hear that he has accepted, the
position of chemist in the chlorination
works Of tho Golden Reward Mining
and Milling Company at Deadwood.
We can not blame him for accepting a
;core lucretiye position, but it is lever
theless n source of regret that the school
should loose so able and energetic a
teacher. We are hopeful that his sue
cessor, whoever he may be, will be
equally as efficient but it is not common
for lightning to strike twice in the same
place.

ANOTHER NARROW ESCAPE.
A Timely Werning to the People to be
Better Prepared 10 Fight the Fell
Destroyer In the Future.

III AAAACN ~
Better Prepared to Fight the Fell
Destroyer In the Future.
Again we are called upon to chronicle
the visitation of the fire fend in our
midst. This time it was the large livery
and feed stable belonging to Isaac Aims
ley, and situated on the corner Of the
alley midway between Custer Avenue
and Crook, on Sixth street. 1t was
about $50 O'Clock in the morning when
the fire broke out, and was first seer
issuing from the roof near the center of
the building. The structure was of
frame, and it required but q few minutes
to envelope the whole building in a
solid mass of fame. 1t was first dis
covered by Mr.. W. B. Hall. the present
lessee Of the stable, who was up at an
early hour feeding the horses, Soon
the alarm was given by the ringing of
all the bells of the city, and in a short
time the aroused community was on the
ground, ready to render any assistance
in their power to stop the spread of the
flames. 1t was found useless TO attempt
TO save anything in the building, except
a few carriages, and to get the horses
out, which was successfully accomplish
ed. The men we're very much handi-
capped by the scarcity OF water, but by
having ecourse to the b. & NJ. railroad
tank, and the wells in the vicinity, con.
siderable water was obtained. This,
together with the timely action Of
several men with Babcock extinguishers,
they succeeded in saving most of the
buildings in the immediate vicinity,
except the warehouse belonging to the
NJ. J. Bailey Co, and q small stable be-
longing to the FIRST National bank, and
prevented what might have pro"ed a
sweeping cophagration. AS it was the
loss and damage foots up about as fol.
lows:
MIR. Isaac Ainsley, loss of barn and
dwelling house, $4,000, partially covered
by insurance.
NJ. j. Bailey Co, grocers, loss of ware
housee, damage to store and stock, 5000,
fully covered by insurance.
w. Is. Hall, saddles, harnesses, hay,
grain, etc, $500.
Larsh MaStadon, the Swede teamster,
loss of personal effects, trunk, etc, $50.
First National bank, loss Of small
stable, $3.50,
w. r. Hoy, loss of buggy and harness,
$f25.
We understand that all of the prop
crty destroyed was partially covered by
insurance, but the exact amount could
not be ascertained. 1t was fortunate
that no wind was blowing at the time,
the stiffness of the atmosphere, and the
herculican labors Of the people alone
saved the block from destruction.
In this connection we are reminded
Of the fact that We have at various and
sundry times spoken Of the ACCESSIBILITY
Of our people organizing a fire company
in some form for the lettering Of our
facilities for fighting fire. But rs our
admonition has met with no response,
We presume it is regarded as unreason-
able and uncalled for. We therefore
say no more on that point, but bow to
the superior wisdom of the people col.
lectiyely, and with them trust to luck.
