Locating the Lime.

The act of locatiog a gold claim in the
lime formation would have been regard
ed as positive evidence of lunacy prior
to the discovery of Ragged Top. 1t is
now quite another thing, and is consid
cred an act of unquestioned wisdom,
and is becoming Gaily more popular
with the masses. During the past week
there have been many locations made
by our local miners, as well as by min
ers from Keystone. Hill City and points
further north. The character of the
float rock found in what the prospectors
are pleased to designate rs the New
Ragged Top, is similar in appearance to
that found in the more pretentious
northern district, but thus far there has
been nothing done in the way of deve-
lopment, and only a few assays of the
ore picked up from the surface have
been made, which gave a return of from
$3.50 to $500 per ton. No search for
verticals has been made thus far, the
era of stalking, as yet, having only been
fairly inaugurated. The opinion is
largely entertained by prospectors who
are familiar with the Ragged Top region
that the new district promises TO be
when developed, equally productive,
but this is largely conjectural. and re-
mains to be demonstrated by future ex,
ploitation.
1t is the hope Of the Chronicle that
the new district may prove to be a
model producer and the equal Of the
Ragged Top of the north, which ought
to be enough to satisfy any body.

Closes It's Doors.

The Commercial Bank of this place
closed its doors on Wednesday on ac-
count of the National Bank Of Illinois
going to the wall. The National Bank
ranked the second largest national bank
in the entire west. and its management
was generally believed to he along the
most conservative lines. The creditors
of the Commercial Bank will hold a
meeting at 2 p. m. on Saturday for the
purpose Of appointing a committee to
try and resume business. There are

From parties up from Hermosa yes
terday, says the Rapid Journal of last
Tuesday, 1t is learned that no little ex-
element has been occasioned there
over the failure Of the local bank run bv
NJ. Il. M~axson, which institution closed
ts doors last week. 1t is stated that the
depositors have attempted to get n
statement from Mr.. Maxson but were
unable to do so. The deposits amount
ed to between seven and eight thousand
o liars. Among those who had money
deposited in the institution are42ichard
Avant 5000 or 500, Mrs. Pelter $500.
Chef Mills $500, Mr.. Sanborg $500, Jack
Daily $1l0O, Grant & Candy about $500
or 5000 each, besides several others. 1t
is believed by many that the money is
purposely withheld and as a conse.
quence the depositors will leave no
stone unturned to secure it. Mr.. Max
son had intended to leave for the east
on Sunday evening but was persuaded
by several citizens to remain.
Later advices from Hermosa, indicate
the adjustment Of the affairs of the Com
mercial bank at that place. David
sisk, of Keystone, has been appointed
assignee. and it is now believed that
depositors will be made nearly whole,
as the deposits and cash on hand is said
to amour to nearly $4,000.

The dread peals of the fire bells,
which are rendered more d.eadful by
reason of II e fact Of our limited means
of fire protection, brought terror and
CONSERVATION TO u citizens on Thurs
day night. II was about s o'clock when
the alarm was given which caused n
general commotion among our citizens,
and when the church bells and steam
whistles were added to the din of the
fire bells the feeling of alarm vas most
intense. The fire was located on Wash
ington street. below Seventh, neal the
railroad. Tnere flames were rising from
the roof of the engine room, of OIo
Reders steam planning mill, which for a
time bid fair to extend and consume the
entire building, but ready hands were
soon employed in applying water by
means of buckets. and through this
means, and by the aid of "A few portable
FIRE extinguishers the flames were finally
subdued. 1t was a close call. aud il is
believed that, if the fire had been dis
covered five minutes later the entire
building would have been destroyed.
The fire was confined to the engine
room, where it originated. The loss is
normal, and will delay the operation of
the mill but a short time. There Is a
strong feeling of anxiety following this
event for fire protection which will, Of
course, die out before the occurrence Of
the next blaze.

The Seed is the Vital Thing.

Planting must be begun right, else no
amount of cultivation or fertilizer car
prevent the crop being a failure. The
first step is the selection of the seed.
Do not take any risk here. Get seeds
that you can depend upon-seeds that
are fresh, that have a reputation behind
them. The most reliable seeds grown
in this country are Ferry's Seeds.
Wherever seeds are sown the name Of
d. nj. Ferry & Co, of Detroit, Mich, is
a guarantee of quality and freshness.
The greatest care and stricted caution
are exercised in the growing, selection,
packing and distribution of their seeds.
Not only must they be fresh, but they
must be true to name.
On a par with the quality of the seeds
is Ferry's Seed Annual for 1897, the
most comprehensive and valuable book
of the kind eve printed. Every planter,
large and small. should get, read and
digest this book before planting a single
seed. 1t is tree to all who address the
firm as above.
