A Sad Death.

One of the saddest deaths that has
ever occurred in this section of the
Hills, was that of little Benny, the six
year old child of Mr.. and Mrs. G. A.
Wood, who reside upon their farm, nine
miles west of this city.
About moor Oh Friday of last week
Mrs. Wood SEN two of her children
to a root house near by for some pars.
nips, and while away they each ate a
parsnip, and while one Of them expert
enced no bad results, the other, little
Benny, was soon thrown into violent
commissions, and az all means at hand
were powerless to relieve him, he was
brought to the residence Of his uncle
and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. b. h. Wood, Of
this place, and q physician was imme
diately called. whose efforts were also
powerless to give relief, the commissions
continuing, at intervals, until B o'clock
on the following mornipg, when death
put an end to his suffering.
The deep sorrow and poignant grief
brought upon the parents by the sud
den death Of their beloved child can
not be expressed by words, and the
sincerest sympathy of the community
goes out to them in their sad bcreave-
meut.
Funeral services were held at the
Congregational church on Sunday after
noon, after which the remains were
consigned to rest in the Custer m
terry.

We've Got the Measles.

While the measles have been as thick
as hops in Dsadwood, Lead and other
towns in the lower attitudes during the
months of January and February, it was
not until Il 6 vacillating month of March
had made its advent that the contagious
malady was able to drag itself up to our
happy heights. Just at a time when
our folks were congratulating them
selves upon a lucky escape, and when
all expectation of an invasion had
vanished, the pesky disease, the dread
Of anxious mater and pater familias,
made its unwelcome appearance, and at
this writing, it is epidemic in this place.
1t is no ~respecter of persons, its presence
being felt alike in the abodes ofthe we'll
to do, and of the don't know what to do,
and if they keep on comm. the public
schools will soon have to close for lack
of attendance, if for no other reason. 1t
is the fashion here To have the measles,
and never anywhere, was a fashionable
fad more universally observed.

Card.

Realizing, as we do. the inadequacy of
words to express the full measure Of our
gratitude to the many kind friends who
so cheerfully extended their aid during
the illness. death and burial of our dear
lamented relative, we cannot, however,
refrain from giving some expression of
our appreciation of the same.
The patient and unceasing attention
shown our dearly beloved relative when
the angel of death was lowering near,
and the marked respect paid to her
memory after her pure spirit had passed
to its eternal rest, inspired us with a
feeling Of thankfulness and gratitude
which words can but feebly portray, and
which shall ever be held and cherished
among the most sacred memories Of our
lives.
We unite in the hope that, when sim
liar sorrows come upon you, which is
the common lot of humanity, O may
have reason to feel grateful for such
kindly attention as you have so freely
bestowed upon us during the sad trial
which we were called upon to endure.

RICH AS RAGGED TOP.
Tests Made Upon Surface Ore From the
Lime Belt Show Returns of
8lO8 Per Ton.

VASo "a Ach'
Present indications would seem to
warrant the belief that the lime belt
tributary to this place, will, in its further
development, prove as rich, if not richer
than that of the more celebrated Rag
ged Top camp of the northern Hills,
which is now attracting such widespread
attention throughout the country. The
recent discovery of surface ore on this
belt, IL miles south of this place shows
a value that would fairly justify such
belief, and it would be as strange as it
would be disappointing if such belief
should not be fully .. drmsd by the
further development Of the ore bodies
already discovered upon the belt named.
The new discovery referred to was
made by Mr.. A. I. Feay Of this place,
who, with his associates, W. A. White,
George Raver and b. r. Wood, are the
owners of a group of four claims in q
body, the two last named being inter
ested in only one of the claims. The
tests made upon the ore taken from the
surface of one of the claims, in which
the four gentlemen named are equally
interested, were five in number, and q
careful test showed values as follows:
$1,000, $1,000, $500, $500, Sl06. These
tests were made from ore broken from
large boulders, called by prospectors
turtle back" boulders, which lie in
great profusion upon the surface csJthe
claim.
The owners of this promising group OF
claims, known rs the combine group,
are making arrangements to erect a
cabin upon their ground at once, pre-.
paratory to the thorough development
Of the same, and in the meantime il is
probable they may direct their atten
ton to the shipment Of the surface
boulders to an outside point for reduc-
ton. The are feeling iubilant
oyer their prospect, and not without
reason, as the tests made upon their ore
would fairly justify the belief that they
are now the fortunate possessors Of a
little Ragged Top of their own, which,
in time, may be the means of making
them az rich as the proverbial jew, with
money enough to secure n soft seat in
the United States senate.

Prospecting on a Big Scale.

Prof. ii. NJ. Chance, the well known
geologist and mineralogist, who was
busily engaged for several days in this
place, procuring his outfit FOR a pros.
pscting tour on the lime belt west and
northwest Of this city, departed on
Wednesday morning with two wagons
loaded with supplies and a force of six
men. The locality to receive first at
tention is situated about IS miles north
west of this place, and is said to present
highly favorable indications Of a rich
mineral bearing region. What his
further intentions are has not been
given out, but, judging from the ex-
tensive preparations made, we conclude
that his purpose is to spend the entire
season in the investigation and location
of claims on this very promising min
eral belt. His men are employed by
the month, and they all expec: their
employment to continue during the en-
tire season.
This expedition is gotten up upon a
scale of magnitude that has not preyi-
ousiy been equalled in any part of the
Hills, and it is earnestly hoped that it
may be attended with the most favor
able results,
