when he was introduced by Hon. Theo-

home after a long sojourn in foreign
lands. Men cheered until they were

Robert Talent arrived in Custer on
the Tuesday evening train. His object
in visiting us at this time was to obtain
subscribers to his mothers book enti-

Mrs. Anna Talent, the authoress, is
now making arrangements for the pub
lication of the book, which it is expect
ed will be ready for delivery about the
1st of August. The book will contain
about 700 pages including engravings,
and great pains have been taken to
make the history thorough and accur-

possession of every one who feels an in.

Attorney General John l.. Pyle, in re-
sponse TO letter from II. S. Mouser, of

to the repeal of the state prohibitory
liquor law by the adoption Of the 9th
article to the state constitute on at the
last general election, and asking if coun

cense money under existing circum.
stances. holds that the dispensary sec
ton of the state constitution not having
been carried into execution by statute
the old law is in full force and effect.
1T would seem clear" he says, that
penalties provided for violation Of the
license law are not in conflict with the
provisions Of the amendment to the con-
stitution. 1t is true in moral sense
that license should only be issued to sell
intoxicating liquors for medicinal
scientific and mechanical purposes, but
penalties would not attach to sale made
under such licenses unless made in vic
lation of the provions of the law.
There are quite number of cases in
the different state reports upon this de-
cision. but they nearly all reach the con
clusion that the provisions of the old
law remain in force until the provisions

and large amount of copper be pro.
duced. All of the mines carrying cop.
per are being eagerly sought for, and
seven are already under bond to syn
dicate, who are endeavoring to supply
the demand for that metal, and have
ample means to put these mines in
shape to produce it.
Another camp of excellent promise in
the production of gold, is found on what
is known as Mineral Ridge, about 81
miles west from Custer. Among the
most prominent mines in this camp is
the Bonanza, the Spotted Leopard, the
Evening Star, the Union, the Tom
Payne, the Old Ben, the Crown, and
many others which show large vertical
veins of quartz, which are fairly well
developed, and produce ore of good
grade, which are susceptible of being
treated at profit with suitable plant
on the ground.
Lieing southwest from here about z
miles, we find the Four Mile camp
beautifully located, and containing
many valuable mines Of much the same
character as those we have previouslt
mentioned. Prominent among these
we find the Old Charley, the Irwin, the
Island, where the new dry concentra'
tor is being set up for an experimental
run, and soon to be in active operation
All of the mines which We have named
in this article have produced ore oi
high grade. They all have sufficient
development to justify the erection of a
plant to treat the ore, with fair assur.
ance of a profitable return from the
start.
In addition to the foregoing, we have
mines lieing south from Custer, all the
way from the foot of Harney's Peak to
Pringle, where the sedilientary strata
overlaps the Archean states, and the
southern extremity of the mineral belt
Of the Black Hills has been reached
Capitalists who study the question oi
the class of best paying investments,
have been made aware, that there is no
business, and no enterprises, which on
the grand average pay so well today as
mining. This is made plain by the Off,
cIal reports of the different mining COM
panies who dare not falsify the returns
and whose profits in dividends cause
sbowings of all other enterprises TO pale
into insignifcance For this reason
mines are being sought as an invest
menC as never before '.nown in the his
tory Of the country. These facts pres
ent a situation which, to say the least, is
more encouraging a. this time than at
any season Of the past, and admonlshes
us that to realize the reward of our toll
We have but to use the knowledge
which experience has brought us, and
