whatever it was will now never be

Yesterday he was resting as easily as
could be expected, but was by no means
out of danger. John Parry received a
cut on his head, several bruises, an in
Jured ankle and a number of burns
none of which will prove serious, how
ever. but which were painful and he
showed great courage and endurance in
coming up to give the alarm as he did.
The gas plant was visited yesterday
by many citizens who viewed the scene
with wonderment bordering on awe,
and all declared that nothing less than
a miracle saved the lives of the men.
The iiremen succeeded in saving the
other buildings, which was fortunate for

Edward Rogers of this place recently
received ii letter from George Bartrr,
an Old timer ofthe Hills and well known
in Al. the mining camos therein having
oeen boss timberman in the Golden
Terra mine in the Northern Hills in the
early days, alterward foreman of the
King Solomon mine near Hill CITY and
later associated with Cook and Rogers
in the Grizzley Bear mine ten miles
north Of this place. Mr.. Barber. as the
letter indicates, after devoting more
than an average lifetime to prospecting
and mining, is about to retire from the
field, and try his hand on farmin, np-
on one of the south sea islanls iOcatcd
5000 miles east Of Sa,. Francisco. at

purpose is to join an expedition now
fitting out at san Francisco with "A view
to acquiring possession Of one the south

tablished and a provisional government
formed. The number Of men compris.
ing the expedition is 100, and they pro-
pose TO purchase "A schooner, load il with
the necessary supplies and sail at an
early day for their future island home.
These islands are all inhabited bv ma

attractive, We nevertheless hope that.
Mr.. Barber may realize his most sang

future far away home.

Sale of Mica Property.

The sale of the Tin Crown No ] and
Frances j. mica claims, which WAS con-
summated last week, a report Of which
was withheld for prudential reasons, is
Of much importance to this place, mas
mnch as it promises to result in the
revival Of a once Furnishing industry
that has long since passed into 4 condi-
ton Of comparative inactivity and
decay.
The property is located about three
miles northwest of this city, is classed
among the largest past producers OF this
valuable mineral IN the Custer district,
and was owned by NJ. S. DAILY of this
city, and j II. Daily of Rapid City, n
brother Of the former. The sale was
made through f.. NJ. Langan Of Mime
apolis, to Samuel 4. Baxter, of Lima,
Ohio, who is said to be associated with
a strong company who will, at an early
day, ~inaugurate operations upon the
property upon a scale of magnitude
never before attempted in this locality,
where the mica industry Of the Black
Hills has thus far been practically con-
fined. A force of men is already en-
gagged on the property which will be
increased IN the future until the prop
erty reaches a basis of operation COM
mensurate with its magnitude and con-
coded merits. While the terms Of the
sale have not been given out, the
consideration is believed to be large,
such snpposition being justified by the
well knwon merits of the property.
The C%HRoNICLE hopes and believes
that this enterprise may he attended by
a higher degree Of success and perma-
nence than has been reached in the
past, and result in great and lasting
benefit to this district and the Black
Hills at large.

Seismic Shakes.

O'clock the residents of this county were
surprised by hearing three loud reports,
resembling the explosion of a boiler OF
many in town very plainly, and by
those living south and west of town
much mora plainly. 1t was undOubted-

Shober school house on little Houston
Creek was very severely shaken. We
have heard of no damage resulting from
the shocks so far.-Sundance Gazette %.
The reports were plainly heard at
