Advanced Surgery.

II is wonderful the degree Of profici-
ency which has been attained by the
advanced surgeons Of the cav, in com
parison with the practice of medicine,
which, with very slight exceptions, has
made but very little Improvement in
the last so years. This is 10 doubt ac-
counted for in a large degree, by the
fact that what is one mans meat is an
other mans poison. Great strides have
also been made in the treatment of the
eye and ear, which is being brought to
an exact science.
In this connection we are reminded
that we have in our very midst, one of
the very best skilled operators in the
west in these specialties. AS an opti-
clan we are free to recommend him, as
having materially benefited us in a case
of double vision" where others who
came with flaming advertisements, and
great pretended skill, had failed to
yield any relief whatever. We refer to
DR.. r. w. Calkins, through his close ex-
animation and prescription we have pro-
Il ed glasses which are worth to us
many times more han their weight in
gold.
This is no paid advertisement. We
pen it without the knowledge or solicit
ton of the doctor, out of admiration for
his skill. and gratitude for the great
benefit conferred.

A KlondIker Returned.

John Barker was greatly surprised
yesterday morning at the arrival of his
brother, Charles, whom he supposed
was i'm some portion of the Klondike
country. Mr.. Barker went there several
months ago in company with two others
from this place, one Of whom came back
weeks ago. Mr.. Barker was $50
miles up Copper river, but he does not
expect to go back "in the spring" or any
other time. He has had all he wants
of the Klondike. He is like a man he
tells about u pthere. People would get
tired and sick of the country and one
and another Of them would get a letter
from home telling him that his wife WIS
sick or his mother had met with an ac-
cident, or any other old thing that would
do for an excuse to leave a place so ut
terly DEVOID Of attraction. One man.
however, announced one day that he
was going home. When asked why, he
said "Well, I'll tel, you. My mother
isn't sick, my father hasn't died sud-
denly, and my sister isn't going to get
married. In fact, / haven't heard that
anything unusual has happened. I've
simply had enough, and I'm going home"
So it was with Mr.. Barker. He had
enough and he came home.-Rapid City

Phonolite.

Latest advices from the northern
Hills are to the effect that large veins of
phonolite have been discovered which
embrace a belt extending from neal the
Homestake mine to Bald Mountain, in
an east and west line, and north to the
Carbonate Camp. THIS formation Is
similar to that Of Cripple Creek Colora-
do, in which the rich ores of that dis
trict are found. A gentleman from
Cripple Creek, and familiar with its
mines, says that the rock is identical and
has obtained a bond on an extensive
strip of this ground. The rock is said to
be the same as the MINER usually pro-
nounce trackyte, or feldspathic por-
phery, but now pronoun ced by mining
ton the purest phonolite. Mr.. Pryce
from Cripple Creek, who has taken
bonds on the ground, has made a close
examination, and We are informed has
obtained as high as $40 per ton in gold.
This reminds us Of the saying Of a very
emminent mineralogist in our hearing,
that the Black Hills contained within its
boundaries every character of mineral
that is known in the world. We are not
prepared at this time to vouch for this,
but so many of what is called the OBJ
scure minerals haye been discovered in
the last ten years by the different ex-
perts who have visited the Hills, and
others being almost daily discovered,
that we think we are now about ready
to issue the challenge to all corners, to
produce a mineral in the world we can
not duplicate. Truly our stable noun
tains" have we'll earned the name of
"Monderland.n

The sun rose bright or Thanksgiving
morning in Custer, and the temper
ature was comfortable through the day.
However, there were comparatively few
people to be seen on the street, as most
all were at home or gathered at a neigh
bors house to enjoy the annual thanks
giving turkey. There was, however, a
notable exception to the rule in one
respect. There was an immense crowd
gathered at the Carrigan building on
Custer venue to partake ofthe excellent
dinner served by the ladies of the Con-
gregational church. AS usual we had
III weather eye open to everything that
is good, and this dinner did not fail in
its attraction for US. We took a seat at
the table and remained Gust as an inter
ested spectator Of %course) until our waist
band buttons threatened to give way,
when being too full for utterance we left
the festive scene abruptly. There vas
a grand ball in the evening at the opera
house, which was well attended by those
who delight to "trip the light fantastic
toe" and an all round good time vas
enjoyed until a late hour.

Good Goods Well Advertised.

Going the rounds Of the press is an
item stating that the Royal Baking Pow
der Company is the largest advertiser
in America. OF course, the business it.
self must be an enormous one to justi fly
so great an expenditure in publicity.
There is no fallacy more dangerous than
that success can be gained by advertis-
ing an article of Indifferent merit. But.
given an article Of the highest quality
like Royal Baking Powder, which when
the housekeeper has once used she finds
if she desires the best food she cannot
do without, then the greatest measure
of success is attained by keeping it con
~tinually before the public. Great merit
and good advertising are both essential
to make a product a great success. The
Royal Baking Powder possessing the
first, it's proprietors have wisely used
the second, and the result is apparent
throughout the land. The Royal Com
pany believe that there is no medium
for advertising like the newspapers,
since in these enlightened days every
body reads them.
