Uniformity q Text Books.

The following communication in rela-

Of text books in the various schools of
Custer county suggests q much needed
reform, which should meet with uni
yersal approval
LDEN VALLEY School DIST No. 5,
January 9, 1897.
EDtToR CUSTER Chronicle.
DEAR SIR:-Being interested in the
public schools of our county, | ask your
indulgence for q short time, hoping
what may say will not only meet with
the APPRECIATION of our school boards,
especially those of the rural districts.
but will result in their taking some
steps which vi result in u adopting
In Custer county, at least an uniformity
OF text books before another school
wear begins. The advantages to be
derived from a system of this kind are
many and too numerous for me to men.
ton in this article and the disadyant-
ages arising from the present system to
the youth Of our county is incalculable.
| do not think exagRerate when | say
there are schools in the county in which
there are as many different kinds of
readers, spoilers, arithmetics and all
other books required to be taught, rs
there are scholars in attendance, this is
not only very trying upon the teacher,
but he cannot possibly do as good work
as ii this were not the case.
Arrangements can be made with one
of the many publishing houses to take
all Of our old and Anticipated books at
certain prices in exchange for its series,
thereby realizing something for that
which is comparatively worthless, he.
sides, all new books will cost our
patrons much less than they now do.
My idea would be, that a day be set
for a County School convention to be
held in Custer City, and prior to the
meeting ofsaid convention, each district
meet and select one or more delegates
to attend same, then and there the
matter could he thoroughly discussed
and doubtless settled as to whether we
will have an uniformity ofschool books.
Hoping others will give you their
opinion relative to this matter ! am
Respectfully yours

The Limestone Range

Is still the scene of persistent search
on the part of gold hunters for valuable
deposits of the yellow metal, and the
number of locations made during the
past week have largely exceeded that Of
any week since the range came into
prominence.
The locations now extend from q
point on the range northwest of this
place, and are almost continuous for
many miles south and east to Pringle,
Hot Springs, Buffalo Gap, Fairburn and
other points, where, without exception,
gold, in some measure, has been OBJ
tanned from assays of the ore. Fifteen
miles west Of this place, at what is
known as the Reynolds camp, the devei-
opment Of two claims has been COM
menced. These claims are owned by
II. ID. Reynolds, and ID. W. McFadden,
and by assays made in this place, the
surface ore showed a value Of $3.50 and
$40 per ton respectively, aud later
tests at a depth of four feet gave II re-
turn of S7,20 and $40, showing an en-
couraeing ratio Of increase in value
with the depth attained.
Encouraging reports have reached
this Office from numerous localities
along the range, indicating the presence
Of gold upon the surface in such quaint
~ "a ia warrant thn hnltaf chat ,oet
bodies of payable ore will be found
when the required depth has been
reached. Surface ores running as high
as $40 to the tor are reported at Battle
Mountain, east Of, and near Hot Springs,
and at Il point near Buffalo Gap. ores of
corresponding character, running over
$500 to the ton have been discovered.
The outlook for the establishment Of
Il number Of new mining camps along
the line of the new gold belt as q consc-
qnence Of the future discovery Of rich
gold deposits may he said to be fairly
bright in which event the gold produc-
ton Of the Black Hills will be increased

at the top Of the list as n gold produc-
ing section. the assayers of this city
are kept busy making tests of the ores
brought in and have thus far been un-
able TO catch up with their orders, so
great has been the demand for their
services. Thus far the surface tests
have been quite uniform, ranging from
$50 TO $500 for surface ore, which is
said to compare fayorably with the sur
free prospects at Ragged Top, and the
material gain shown at a depth Of a few
feet, as in the cases above noted, would
seem to be ample reason to justify the
belief that ore bodies of value CORE
spending with the best found at Ragged
Top would be encountered in the future
development OF the region.

To Show the Peoples Money

A special from Pierre says: A sensa-
ton was sprung at the capital Saturday
afternoon by q special message from
Governor Lee, recommending the APP
ppointment of a special commission to
investigate the %treasurer's office and
ascertain the safety Of the state funds.
1t is understood that the laws govern
ing such matters are unsatisfactory and
the governor docs not feel like approx
ing the treasurer's bond without having
first known beyond doubt that the cash
called for In the treasurer's report is
safe. How to do this is a question. The
funds are on deposit in several banks
and amount to nearly $500. 600. To
transmit them by express would involve
the expenditure Of an amount equal to
the treasurer's salary. besides il would
involve much risk.
Treasurer Phillips is perfectly willing
to order the funds here, providing the
state will resume responsibility while
they are in transit and while here and
pay expenses Of transferring. 1t is q
queer complication. The governor has
the utmost confidence in the treasurer
and does not wish to embarrass him,
and sees no safe way except to have u
commission appointed by the legislature
to see that the funds are safe.

Tax Penalties Abated.

The board Of county commissioners at
their late session which ended or Mon
day last. passed a resolution in relation
to the abatement Of the accrued penalty
and interest upon taxes assessed in 1891,
and prior thereto, which should have
the effect Of greatly stimulating the col
lection of the delinquent taxes for the
years referred to.
The resolution provides for the abate-
ment Of all penalties ard interest upon
taxes for the year 1891, ard prior years,
for a period of three months from Janu-
nary lst, 1897, providing the taxes are
paid within the time specified.
Similar action in Fall River county,
and other counties in the state has been
the means Of materially increasing tax
collections, and it is believed that sim
liar results will follow in this county.
1t is to be hoped that the benefits
arising from this action on the part OF
the commissioners may soon be indi.
Gated by an advance in the market
value of county warrants. which al
present are in poor request, and not
eagerly sought at any price.

Ragged Ton News,

The following items of news were
scissored from the Ragged Top Shaft,
the new paper recently launched at
Preston
Fitzpatrick Bros & Dacey struck a fs.
sure vein of ore Friday in their vertical
near the big shaft that assayed S24,3i2l0
per ton.
If Ragged Top continues to show ore
worth a dollar a pound, Wen have TO
put the whole thing in a burglar proof
safe.
Fortv.three lots have already been
sold, upon each Of which business and
residence houses will be erected as soon
as lumber can be procured.
To see the campfires on the sidehills
around Preston at night, one would
naturally suppose that n grand encamp.
ment is in progress at this place.
1t has already been decided to have
a school this winter. The townsite com
pany has generously offered to donate a
lot for the school and also for a church.
The streets Of Preston presented a
lively appearance on Sunday. There
was n steady stream Of visitors from far
and near, who after blockading the
streets for awhile scattered out to visit
the mines.
Until the postofice is established here,
people should have their mail addressed
to Lead :. D., and the hack driver can
be instructed to bring it to Preston.
Freight and express should be shipped
to Crown Hill Siding, s. d., via b. & NJ.
Il. r., and it will safely reach Ragged
Top District.
The b. K NJ. r. X. has secured the
right Of way from Crown Hill siding TO
the mines running through Preston, and
their depot and sidetracks will be on the
townsite. The roadbed is now being
graded. and as the distance to Crown
Hill siding is less than two miles, trains
will soon run regularly into Preston.
New strikes are reported every day.
The oldest miner shakes his head and
says the new miner is too much for him.
He never before heard of surface rock
being worth a dollar a pound, but he
reads the assayers' certificates and says
seeing is believing. People don't salt
their mines and then spend money
10 develope the same.

Suddenly Enriched.

Fortune sometimes strikes with as
reckless a disregard for all furmalties
and as little forewarning as lightning,
and quite frequently strikes men who
do not ever have their rods up. "A
year ago last Thanksgiving day, Al
Starner landed in Dcadwood with
thirty nve cents in his pockets and took
the first job that ne found. Last Febru-
airy his brother Gene, rode from Edge
mont 10 Deadwood on the roof Of a
baggage car, reaching here with ten
cents. Tie two BOYS worked for awhile
In the Bald Mountain mines, but were
laid off shortly, and they say that but
for the kindness Of Mrs. Wright, Of
Portland, who trusted them for board
20 the amount of $50, they would have
gone hungry. Early in the spring
Henry Johnson was locating some claims
a few miles northwest Of Portland, and
one of the %Starners, having nothing else
to do, went along one day and stacked
out some ground for himselfand brother.
Today the ground that he located lies in
the most favored portion Of Ragged
Top, and could be sold for S25, 000, al
though tn. boys hold it for twice that
figure, and at the present rate Of the
camps development will undoubtedly
get it in time. The Eva H., Silver
Tongue, and Silver Tongue fraction lie
next to the Johnson & Whiting ground,
and have 500 feet Of the ledge that
shows at the Dacy shaft. Two shafts
have been started, and a car load Of ore
has been taken out, waiting to be ship
ped. 1t is worth from $50 to STA a ton.
and there is an almost unlimited supply
Of it. The owners are young fellows
who have always "roughed" it, yet they
know the value Of a dollar, have good
heads for business, and fully appreciate
the freak Of fortune that made them
rich. Had they been given steady work
from the time they struck the Hills they
would still be getting only wages
