Rapid CITY Excursion.

The three coaches of the Elkhorn

from Rapid City, Saturday night. 1t
was the intention of the Fireman's
Band and Fire Departmental meet
the train and give the visitors lively
welcome, but fire call just before
train time kept thh fire companies
occupied till after the train had arrived
and for the same reason the band
could not be mobilized. The ex.
cursionists spent Sunday in various
amusements and ways, some attend
ing church others patronizing the
Plunge while the scenery and places
of interest around Hot Springs attract
ed the attention of many others. Tht
return to Rapid was not made as al

when they chose.

death of another of our Civil War
veterans, Capt. Geo. w. Gone, of Camp
Crook. S. ID. Capt. Gone was brought
to the hospital two weeks ago in a
very serious condition, cancer of the
stomach being the trouble. His pain
was terrible and it was wonderful the
patience with which he stood it. All
that was possible in the medical pro
fession, was done to relieve pain and
build up the constitution but all effort:
we're in vain. The veteran suffered
patiently till death did for him what
man was unable to accomplish, relieve
him of pain. The end came at 4 a. m
Wednesday. For forty months Capt
Gone served his country, first with
the 1st Illionis Cavalry and later with
the 1O2 Illinois Inf. He came from
the service with a good record. Since
the war he accumulated some wealth
and was in good circumstances till
about year ago when the stomach

Robert N. BELL.

Robert N. Bell and G. A.
Sawyer departed on last Thurs
day mornings stage as delegates
from Custer county to attend the
State Republican convention
which convenes at Boise City to-
day. Mr.. Bell is a candidate for
the Office of State Mine Inspec-
tor, and his many friends here
hope that he may succeed in
securing that nomination. Re
gardless of any political feeling
that we may have in the matter,
we believe Mr.. Bell would be
the right man for the place, as he
has made mines and mining a
life study-not only being a prac-
tical miner and understanding
thoroughly the workings of
mines, but is also a mining re-
porter of wide reputation, be-
sides he is from a mining section
of Idaho-Custer and Lemhi
counties-that is entitled to some
place on the State ticket. While
we are candid in our opinion that
the Republican ticket stands lit
tie show of success in Idaho, it
does not detract in any way Mr..
Bells qualifications for this of
fee. If the three silver parties
make a harmonious fusion at
Pocatello, the gold party of Ida

Sale Of BIackbird Copper Mines.

The sale or the Brown Bear
group of copper-gold claims in
the Blackbird district, go miles
north of Challis, is the most i'm
portant mining transaction that
has occurred in this region for
some time. Not so much on ac-
count of the money paid out, but
from the fact that it indicates
the faith of the investors in the
value and permenancy of the ores
of that camp, and as these men
are among the most conservative
operators in the East, it is more
than likely, that this initial step
will result in the acquisition of
other large groups of claims. and
scheme of mining development
that will prove a rich market for
the merchants and farmers of
this vicinity, for it is patent
fact that we have by far, the
most feasible route of access to
that district, via. the low pass in
the range at the head of Morgan
creek.
The Brown Bear vein is a
wonderful showing of mineral.
1t is $50 feet wide, and has been
developed to depth of 200 feet,
the copper values increasing
gradually every foot the shaft
went down, and a $50 foot cross
cut at the bottom of the shaft is
said to show an average value of
over SIS in gold and copper, and
one wall to find yet. The gangue
of the vein is impregnated with
heavy sulphide and native cop
per, and will make fine concen-
trating material. 1t is said that
that there is now ore enough in
one claim of this group to furn-
ish mill with capacity of 1000
tons per day for 3 years.
The property was sold for
$37, 900 cash, which is a heavy
discount from the bonding price
as originally arranged. The de-
velopment at the mine justified
the company to make this effer,
and the owners were wise in
agreeing to accept it, as they
still retain two other fine groups
of claims in the same district.
The deal was put through by
Hon. F. S. Wright of Salmon
City, who introduced it on a re-
port of the mines made by Robert
Bell, of Salmon City, whose op-
inions were confirmed by Prof.
Mas Bonner, of Leadville, Colo,
with the results above stated.
The sellers are Hon. F. S.
Wright, of Salmon, Al. Ford and
AL. Brown, of Blackbird. and J.
G. Fox and John Black, of Chal-
lis and Custer.
The buyers are the Blackbird
Gold & Copper Mining Co., of
Buffalo, New York, of which DR..
P. A. HI. Franklin, of Salt Lake
City, is General Manager.
Inc money Tor THIS purchase
was paid over at the banking
house of Langsdorf & Co. at
Salmon City, and it is confident
ly reported that $25, 900 more is
now on deposit to take up options
on some adjoining claims, owned
by Messrs. Coughlan, Schultz &
Ludwig. This money is to be
paid over by August 1st.
1t is also reported on reliable
authority that the Uncle Sam
group in the same district has
been sold for $4,000
