THE GOLDEN RETURN.


Mr.. James A. Clark, the general man
ager of the Golden Return company,
was in Deadwood on Saturday and clos
cd a deal with Mr.. Williams, agent of
the Harvey Peak Tin company, for a
complete hoist. air compressor and all
equipments necessary for sinking to q
depth 1880 feet. This company's prop
critics embrace the Holy Smoke. Vulcan,
and seven other claims in the Holy
Smoke camp, two miles northwest of
Keystone, near the head Of Buckeye
gulch, and covers the main veins of the
Keystone belt. The machinery recent.
ly bargained for is subject to the APP
proval Of the officers of the company.
Mr.. Clark left Sunday evening for Key

Review, March %.
HARDI MINING COMPANY.
II has been authoritative stated by
officers of the Hardin Mining and Man
ufacturlng company that work at their
shaft in Two Bit will, in the near future,
be suspended pending the erection Of
the proposed smelter at Redwater. The
reason for this is to be found in the fact
that the owners of the n Hardin mine are
promoters Of and stockholders in the
Hardin proposition. 1t is consequently
their purpose to reserve the ore coming
from the mines in which they are in
terested, for treatment at their own
plant. They feel confident that the
supply of ore which the Hardin mine
will furnish will be sufficient to tax to
the limit the present mode Of Transport
tation to the Redwater district. When
the railroad people see fit to push their
tracks into the Two Bit country there
will be no trouble in getting the ore TO
the smelter as fast as it is mined. Until
that time and as long as teams are re-
CURED in the hauling, it has been
thought advisable to suspend opera.

toms are misunderstood by patients and
physician. In the pitiless struggle for exist
ence the sick are at an awful disadvantage.
They are trampled under foot like lame
wolves in the rush of their strong and
hungry fellows. Small wonder is it that the
invalid, gloomily rejecting on what he be-
lieves to be his hopeless state, resorts to
pistol or poison; to the rope or the river.
A few dry words from his doctor nave
fallen on his ear like a death-sentence. In
some medical book the sufferer has read of
deadly diseases with symptoms such as he
noted in himself. He concludes he has some
disease he has read about, an inference as
natural asitis unwarranted. Pride, duty and
love are powerless to hold thesuicide's hand.
Among the readers of this article may be
some who have pondered long on the ques-
ton whether q sick life is worth living, yet
have not reached that pitch of despair when
they would push themselves across the line
between time and eternity. To them q few
words Of simple. temperate common sense.

well and strong as any Of pour neighbors2

Mr.. Davis found, upon his return, that
the committee had raised nearly 81 900
