Missing Items,

The Deadwood Mining Review says
1t is the opinion of mining men in the
upper camps that the building of the
projected smelter ut Crook City is likely
to be indefinitely postponed.
The Hill City News says: Another
attempt is being made to work Castle
creek for the gold that is supposed the
creek bed contains. For this purpose n
dredging machine has been placed in
the creek at Keatings bar and it's efforts
to bring forth the precious meta! =
watched with great interest.
( George Hughes an Old ~prospector of
Pennington county, who was formerly
a resident of this place and well known
to many Of our local readers, is reported
by the Rapid City Journal as having
recently struck it rich on his claim in
the northeastern part of the mining por-
of $40 free milling ore is reported as be-
ing the size Of it.
At Ragged Top, the Dacy shaft now
$50 feet, has outgrown the holster and
the owner will ship in one they have
at Cambria. Other operators there are
all at work with good courage, and many
of them with good profit. The lesees
on the A. j. Smiths Ulster, the Ragged
Top company, and the Starner Broth
ers are taking out shipping ore, and the
Doyle ground and the Little Bud both
have excellent prospects.-Review.
Professor A. w. S. Rothermal called
at the Review Office last week. He has
returned to the Hills for the purpose of
pursuing his calling, the finding of min
eral veins, ore chutes, etc. He proposes
to operate in some Of the new districts
where from the formation gold bearing
ore ought to be found but SO far has not
been discovered in place. This field is
wide enough to give him a summers
work and the results of his work will be
watched with interest and fairly given
in the Review.-Deadwood Review.
The Rapid City Journal says: oar.
rangements have been made by dis
interested parties to rent the diamond
drill belonging to the Harvey Peak COM
pany and put it at work onthe + B lode,
three quarters of a mile below Sheridan
on Spring creek. 1t is the intention to

the object Of which was the considera-
ton of the adyisability of Custer county
uniting with the other counties of the
Black Hills in making a creditable ex-
hibit at the Trans-Mississippi exposition
to be held IN Omaha in 1898. w. +.
Hanley presided at the meeting, and /.
w. Delicate was chosen as secretary.
A motion favoring the object for
which the meeting was called was un
animously passed, and the chairman
was instructed to appoint the necessary
committees at an early day.
A vote of thanks was rendered Black
Hills Commissioner IIymer for his visit
to this place, and for the lively interest
he manifested in the matter of Custer
county being represented at the exposi-
ton. Mr.. Hymer's presence, and earn.

Now, that the ice is broken, it il
hoped that the matter may not be per

w. A. Rinehsrt and Tim Foley who
made n tour of the western Black Hills
and Black Buttes country, returning
Sunday talk very encouragingly of that
country as q future field Of wealth. No
one who has not been over that terri
tory can begin to appreciate the extent
of the Black Hills country and realize
the proportion which is yet entirely I'M
developed. There are in that part
which extent is almost half of the Hills,
miles and miles of timber which has
never seen the X and With the excep.
ton of being devastated by fire has
never been molested. This timber is
Of the quality ofthe best which formerly
existed in This part. AS to the mineral
wealth of the western portion these
gentlemen think there is q great future
and that.it is only a question of time
when enormous wealth will be produced
in what is at present the undeveloped
portion. Like every other district il
will require time and money to accomp-
lish these results and in the opinion of
the Judge it will require deep mining in
many localities to bring about the best
results. Tribune.

Another Loaded Gun.

A sad affair occurred at Harvey City
last week in which a loaded gun that
was supposed to be unloaded played an
important part. Several children were
playing in q barn last Thursday when
one of them found a revolver which is
supposed to have been left there by a
hired man. The boy, who is a son of a
Mr.. Mathery, is about ten years old,
and he snapped the drearm at the chill
dren about him, %supposing, of course,
that it was unloaded. This he de did a
half dozen times with nc. i'll effects, but
he did it once too often, for, with a loud
report, the revolver went off. the shot
taking effect in the body of his little
five year-old brother. The little fellow
lived until the following day, but his
wound was fatal and nothing could
longer prolong his life. The funeral oc-
Cured Saturday, the Borrowing family

An exchange has an account Of what
is cruelty termed a bunco game put up
by the lady managers of a recent church
fair in an Iowa town. The ladies add
v%ertised far and wide that they would
appear on the occasion in boomers.
Of course this had the desired mustard
plaster effect upon the men, drawing an
immense crowd, but the boomers worn
by the ladies were simply the flowers
that bloom in the spring, ira la. and not
the kind at all that the men expected TO
see. They are now kicking about it,
and call it nothing more or less than a
measley bunco game, in which they
claim to have been the victims of base
deception.
