he had reached the age of 80 years,
when, attracted by the discovery of

pursue IN the various mining camps of
the west during the balance of his life.
He came to the Black Hills at an early
day from Montana, and was well known
in all the mining camps Of the southern
Hills. He was among the earliest placer
miners in the Custer district, afterward
drifting into other camps, and for a
number of years was located on Spring
creek and Newton's Fork, near Hill
City. He returned to Custer during the
tin excitement several years ago, after
having disposed Of his tin interests at
Tenderfoot, six miles northwest of this
place, and, soon after, married and
settled down to quiet life, remaining
here up to the time Of his death.
Watson Forst, or "Doc Forst," as he
was familiarity known, was a typical
miner of early American mining his
tory. He was the embodiment of
honesty, generous to q fault and the
very sOul of peniality. and n host of
friends will read this notice of his death
with sincere regret.
His funeral services, conducted by
Rev. j. II. Kendall, were held at the
Methodist church on Sunday, after
which his remains were consigned to
rest in the Custer cemetery.

smelter at Deadwood, a frame stru cture
Of the dimensions of 60xlO0 feet, con-
tanning two reverbatory furnaces, was
totally destroyed by fire on Monday
morning, last. The fire was caused by
the explosion of matte, a piece ofmolten
Stag from n of the pots coming in
contact with the side Of the building
and setting it on fire. The loss is esti.
mated at $4,000. The main building
narrowly escaped destruction by the

partment. The machinery was not
damaged, and the building will be re-
placed in the near future.

swooped down on Balmoral, the boom.
ing Ragged Top town, and adopted a
scheme which may have a temporary
tendency to retard the towns growth.
Having bought a large number of the
most desirable lots from the townsite
company, they now refuse to part COM
pany with their dirt unless they are
paid four and five times the amount of
the original purchase price. Several
parties, who have manifested an inten-
ton to erect buildings, have ~endeavo.ed
to purchase lots of the sharks, but be-
Of the fancy price demanded they
have been compelled to abandon their
building projects. All of which is a
poor way to build up a town."
