mer's work, says the Rapid City Journa.
Of last Saturday, A. +. Huntington, vel
known to many Rapid City people
through his previous visits here in gov
eminent survey work, is in charge o.
the party. This survey il made to de-
termine the exact boundaries of the
forestry reservation, with a view Of de-
%termininP just what portion of the Black
Hills country shall be classed under this
head. For this purpose congress has
made an appropriation Of $l50,O00,
which is TO be apportioned for the work
in the Big Horn and Teton reservations
in Wyoming, Priest Lake and Bitter
Root reservations in Idaho, and the two
reservations in Washington and the
Black Hills. The work here will be
done by two surveying parties. one
typographical and one leycl, and sixteen
men will be engaged in the work. Later
on another party will be put on the work
whose duty will be TO make surveys Of
agricultural lands in order that such
lands may be segregated from the re-
serve. One level party is now out and
is on the way from Deadwood to
Hot Springs, from which point they will
work back this way, Chief Huntington
will start in the work in about ten days
either at Harvey Peak or Custer Peak,
and will work the high altitude during
the warm weather and the low country
during the fall.

The Fourth Ia Custer.

While it was not expected that there
would be any attempt in the direction
of the celebration of independence day
in this place, it was decided on We'd
nesday to get up little amusement for
the stay at homes, in addition to the
basket picnic which had been previous.
ly announced by the Baptist ladies.
Bills were circulated on Friday an
nouncing certain sports for the following
day, and Notwithstanding the brief
notice given, the town was pretty well
filed with people, and the program Of
the day was most faithfully and success
fully carried out. After the close of the
picnic on the Hill, which was q very
pleasant and enjoyable affair, unmarried
by any disasreeable features save q
slight rain shower between ~ and

the competitive attractions, both coming
off at 3 o'clock. The crowd was divided

unknown TO fame, that thus far have
not achieved a reputation as record
breakers, and q full account of this
feature is therefore deemed immaterial,
but not so with the ball game which
was full Of Interest from sta,t to finish.
The game was between the married and
single men, and a more holly contested
game was never played upon the Custer
diamond, The game was remarkable in
many respects. Some of the finest plays
known to amateur ball history marked
the occasion. Wonderful catches, more
wonderfully wild throws, long and lofty
batting. wild and weird pitching that
kept the umpire in a haze of wonder
ment and clamor of disgust, to a~nalize
rapid and tardy base runners, the
swiftest and slowest that ever trod the
diamond, were a few of the features
that gave TO the game its remarkable
character. But after all it cannot be
SAID tnat the game was moi z very pretty
one, and very much over the average o.
the ordinary amateur ball organization
of the country.
The teams were tied at the end Of the
ninth inning, which necessitated an
additional inuing in which the married
men fell down and the game was easily
won by the single men, with several
runs to spare. We are unable to give
the score of the remarkable game in
this weeks issue, the footings having
not been completed as we 60 to press.
A very enjoyable hop at the opera
house completed the attractions of the
occasion. which will be associated with
most pleasing recollections, to be called
up, ad lib, for future mental refresh
ment.

Fred GantZ, express messenger and
brakeman on the Spearish line, was
badly crushed at Portland Monday
morning. He had stepped in between
two coaches to line up the Drawbacks,
and for some unexplained reason failed
to step aside as the coaches came to-
gether. The result was that the car
platforms squeezed his body into a
space Of three inches. Conductor
Murphy gave the engineer a signal to
90 ahead, at the same time throwing
one arm around Gantz and dragging
him away from the wheels. The un-
fortunate man was taken to his home
at Deadwood and given every attention
possible to relieve him from his suffer.
ings. He is still alive, but the chances
for recovery are against him, as the
majority Of such accidents prove fatal.
No reason can be given for the neglect
to step out Of danger, as he was well
awars Of the fact that the space between
the platforms is only n few inches and
that it was almost sure death to remain
there. -Spearfsh Mail.

Fatal Mine Accident.

Foreman Dimmick, of Wasp No. 2,
Yellow Creek, met a horrible death
Saturday morning in the incline which
connects the tunnel with the working
shaft. A gasoline engine has been in
use to run the pump, and is situated at
the junction of the shaft and incline.
II has not been in use for some time,
and when use for the pump was had
Saturday, it was decided to pump the
gasoline that remained in the tank out
and put in a new supply. This was
done, and the old gasoline emptied into
the water which was running in the
incline. Shortly afterwards the engine
was started, and In an instant the gas
which had accumulated from the ex-
posed gasoline was ignited and the in
cline n mass of flames. Mr.. Dimmick
and Mr.. Mannion were in the incline at
the time and both started to run.
Mannion succeeded in getting out, al
though severely burned. but Mr.. Dim
mick was not so fortunate, in running
TO escape he struck his head against the
fly wheel of the engine, and was render.
ed unconscious. Before assistance could
be rendered him he was burned to
death.-Review 5.

Stockholders Waking Up.

Edwin Van Cise, one of the promi-
nent members of the Deadwood bar,
was in the city Sunday night returning
on Mondays train. Mr.. Van Cise repre-
Sents the English stockholders of the
Harvey Peak tin company and Was here
to sec purchasers of tax title to Harvey
Peak tin company's properties. fat
Burns, who bought the Burns placer
assigned to him his tax title and receiv-
ed back his money. James Byrne who
holds title to the Winnie ranch, refused
to do so and has been, so we understand,
served with a summons, that a COM
plant will be filed 10 restrain the treas
urer from issuing a deed.
We are glad that, by this movement
we have reused some ofthe stockholders
out of their lethargy and we do hope
that their waking up may bring about
results which will lead to the resump-
ton Of active work here. Nobody
doubts but what the English stock
holders are losers in the Harvey tin
mining deal, and here, II is not neces-
sary to re-iterate the "why and where
fore" But, because they have lost at
the hands of sharp manipulators, it ia
by no means an absolute certainty that
| they cannot recover from the mining
ground they own here. Among the
prospects there are several which have
gold in the rock. and who knows, but
with proper Development, these gold
bearing lodges may produce sufficient
quantities of the precious yellow metal,
not only to reimburse the English
stockholders Of what they have lost, but
return TO them also a handsome profit,
from q speculation which at the outset
seemed rather doubtful Of success.
Ihe history of mines and their devel-
ments cites many parallel cases to the
| Harvey Peak tin deal, of which the En-
glish stockholders claim to be victims,
and further shows that in numerous
instances the responsibility was with
the resident managers of the concern,
that the mines did not become producers
for which great sums ofmoney had been
paid and advanced for its development.
The loss which the English stockhold.
ers have sustained is undoubtedly great,
but is not irreparable, and as they show
by Mr.. Van Cise's action that they in
tend to keep the property, the chances
are very favorable, that, should they de-
eide to resume operations here, their
efforts would be crowned with success,
if competent practical miners are placed
in charge to develop the prospects.-

That Vacant Chair.

A telegram from Rapid City to tho
eastern press says: THE school OF
mines will probably be somewhat him
dered in it work unless the old and the
new board Of regents come TO a speedy
agreement in the selection of a man to
take the place of Prof. +. G. Smith, who
recently resigned from the chair of geo.
logy. President McGiliycuddy has rec
commended a man who is especially
adopted to its place by reason of his
practical experience in mining. The
old board will recognize the presidents
recommendation, but the new board
has q man Of is own choice who is said
to be a good ~geologist, but has had but
little experience in practical mining.
1t is almost u necessity that the pro-
fessor in this chair should understand
mining in the Black Hills. Active
field work will begin the first of August
and it is absolutely necessary that the
vacancy be filled before that time The
usual field survey work is to be done
this season in the Annie creek district
a map Of which is to be made" The
school uuder the efficient management
of DR.. McGillycuddy and Prof. Smith
has demonstrated its usefulness and il
property conducted by such competent
men as those mentioned will become
an invaluable factor in the develop
ment of our mineral resources. But
if a radical populist board of regents
use the concern as a political machine
its utility will be destroyed.
