The little town Of Hay Creek, the
terminus of the Wyoming & Mo. River
Ry., is at present showing great signs OF
activity in the way of building, says the
Lead Tribune. Plans for a $4,000 hotel
is being submitted and numerous bust
ness blocks and dwelling houses are
a six foot vein Of excellent bituminous
under course of construction. There is
coal being developed, with an unlimit-
ed supply, and as the railroad has been
completed and in operation shipments
of coal will commence at once. To
supply the demand, at least 300 min
ers will be required. The company is
preparing for the erections of ovens for
the manufacture Of coke, and will sink
an artesian well for water supply for
the town and works. The little town
of Hay Creek promises to be n OF
the busiest towns in the Black Hills

j. ID. Mccarthy, who halls from Den
yer, Colorado, arrived in Custer on the
evening train Of the 25th. Mr.. Nc
Carthy is a mining man and is familiar
with the various camps where the in
dustry of extracting the precious metals
is pursued. He has been in the Hills
some time, and has given his attention
thus far mostly to mines of the Central
Hills and Pennington county. He left
on the morning train Of the Goth for the
upper Hills, to be gone for a few days
when he will return aud devote a few
days to the examination of the mines in
the vicinity Of this place. In converse
ton with him, we were pleased to find
that he understood the difficulty under
which We labor here, from the want OF
a process for the extraction of the gold
from the refractory bases with which it
is combined. He anticipates but little
trouble on that score. but says, If he can
ascertain that the precious metal is In the
rock in paving quantities, the men
whom he represents will find q way to
get it out. The main difficulty is, that
every fellow who has a prospect hole in
the ground, imagines that he has the
only mine in the world worth having,
and puts on the price accordingly. 1t
seems at present that the ~favorite meth.
od among capitalists to secure mines is
to take lease and bond on sufficient
time to enable them to sink 200 feet or
more, to ascertain if the property will
develop into a mine. We like this and
fully endorse the system, as the best
and fairest for all concerned.
