The paper Of Mr.. T. A. Rickard which
We publish in another part of this paper
is one of the most interesting which we
lIaye read for many a day. We recog-
re Mr.. Rickard as high authority in
all matters of mines and metals. In the
article referred to he dwells particularly
on the ores In combination with tellur-
ium, and as telllrum is SO rare metal
in most all of the mining sections the
world over, and so common in the mines
Of Custer county, the perusal Of the ar
ticle will be, or should be 1oubly inter
esting to the pfospectors and miners of
this district. II will teach them one
thing among others, and that is they rnu t
not jump to conclusions TO hastily in
Judging Of the permanence Of vein,
but learn to discriminate carefully and
closely, hot only as to the character of
the mineral, but also as to the tendency
or behavior of the veins in each dis
trict, so as to he able to express an in
telligent opinion as to the class and
character Of the mine in which they
may be intere sted, or which they may
he investigating. Of one thing we NAV
rest assured, that the wisest Of us
have many things to learn in regard to
the minerals of this section, and that
we cannot learn too much. We will say
further that in our opinion all that is
the matter with US in the camp, land we
might say the same of all Of the districts
Of the Hills, is ignorance. pure and un-
adul'erated ignorance. So much is this
the case that we have no doubt that not
more than seven tenths of those who
read this article, will be able when they
have got through, TO tell what they have
been reading about, Now, while we
do not pretend to know so much more
than the average prospector, yet We
have intellect enough to discern. that TO
acquire the information that is set forth
in the paper referred to, would take
more years OF the closest application Of
all of the mental powers we possess than
the kindliest fate can hold in store for
us. And yet If We should ask Mr..
Rickard, or any of the foremost scien-
lists. to state what they actually knew
about mines and minerals and their
combinations, they would simply say,
II knew but very little"

Postal authorities, says an Omaha
special, are anxiously awaiting the ad-
vent OF the new Chicago Omaha fast
mail Just when it will leave Omaha
they do not know but it will probably
be at ten o'clock in the evening. 1t will
be held for the fast mail on the New
York Central and Lake Shore. II it
leaves Chicago at ten o'clock it will get
into Omaha the next morning at eight
o'clock. There is speculation as to
over what road the fast mail will come
but it will be either the Burlington or
Northwestern. When the mail arrives
at Omaha it will be pushed ont west as
soon as possible. The Union Pacific is
now carrying per day thirty-three tons

Burlington carries a daily average OF
1877 pounds from Omaha to Denver.
1t costs the government $640 per car per

Mining Items.

The parties connected with the enter
prise of putting in dry concentrating
works at the old grease factory arrived
on Tuesday and Wednesday Of this
week. Their names are +. nj. Brown,
John B. Wright, and NJ. Z. Hiltner who
hail from.Lincoln, Nebraska. Eugene
Waugh and r. Z. Waugh, who brought
their wives with them come from Den
yer, Colorado. A portion of the ma
chinery composing the new plant has
been unlcaded and all hands are busy
putting it in place. Mr.. Hiltner, the
assayer. Is fitting up a laboratory in the
building and teams are already engag-
ed in. n.hauling ore from different mines
to the works. They all seem to be
active, energetic business men, fully in
earnest, in the enterprise which
they have undertaken. 1t will
require good deal of expert
menting and testing before it can be as.
certained what ores are suited to their
process, but with the activity which
they are mani Testing it will take but
few days to tell the tale 1t is needless
to add that our people are watching this
movement with good deal of interest.
We would say to the owners of mines in
this vicinity bring in your ores for test
and if they ask for few tons for trial
let them have it and make no charge.
1t behooves us as community to aid
this enterprise all we can, for the rea-
son that successful establishment of
this kind at this tune means much for
Custer.

this theme his portrait Of himself is moro
10 demand than any other. The artist
10 standing playing on the one string
left on his violin while back of him
looking over bis shoulder is q skeleton.
The picture seems prophetic OF the life
Of the man. Boeklin is now para'yzed
but works on for few hours each day
with the one hand that can hold brush
while he says he knows death waits back
OF his chair.
Perhaps little gossip 20 to Boeklin's
life romance as it is retsiled at the Ber.
lin studios may be Of interest. While
yet q young man, poor and unknown. he
was wandering in Italy and stopped for
the night at small inn on the Campag-
ns. A peasant girl who was serving the
guests attracted his artistic eye. She
seemed 60 strong, 90 perfect in form and
such true child of nature. but lacking
altogether soul to understand it's beau
ties. There is deeply sentimental
vein in all Germans and the wish came
to Boeklin to train this untouched and
perfect piece Of nature until the soul
ehould respond to the beauty without
and make the being complete.
The maiden of the Csmpsgna became
the wife Of the artist but her heart re-
mained etone and the dream vanished.
However, they live now in a villa in
Italy and have no doubt but that Ma
dame B7eklin has learned to cook
"Karto0eln und spfeln" to the taste OF
everybody 90 the absence Of soul is not
especially regretted.
The greatest thing about Arnold
Boeklin as an artist is that ne is nation
al "Echt Deutsch" as the Germans
would say. He has never been infiuenc.
ed by Paris. His coloring is heavy and
intense. HIS conceptions are practical
and deeply sentimental and mingled
with this is something brutal-the re-
mains, perhaps, of his northern blood.
The Germans say the French cannot
understand him but that they will give
them an opportunity in nineteen hun
dred and have no doubt but what the
French will rise equal to the occasion.
