The county wants man in the next

The county wants a man in the next
legislature that can do something. The
record shows that w. f. Benedict while
a member of the last senate, introduced
and passed through the senate several
measures which if they had become law
would haye effected great saying in
county expenses. The county Is bur
dened with taxes and If fpublic expenses
can be reduced by change in the laws
that should be done. This county wants
competency and efficiency in its legisla-
tive member. Matters OF local advan-
tage and improvement are Of paramount
importance to us. The wise thing TO
do is to send Mr.. Benedict back TO the
legislature. At the next session he, as
member Of the house, can give his whole
attention to matters Of particular inter-
est and benefit to Custer county. He
was prominent and influential in the
senate and will take like position in
the house. Business considerations
prompts that Mr.. Benedict be elected,
and the CHRONICLE has faith enough in
the good judgment of the people of Gus
ter county to believe that they will send
Mr.. Benedict to the house with Big
majority. OF course a small majority
will elect him, but why should not his
friends give him such majority as will
demonstrate they fully appreciate his
faithful and efficient services in the SEN
ate.

RooseveIt's Visit.

Gov. Roosevelt visited the Black Hills
on Wednesday as Heretofore announc-
ed. To say that day was red letter
day for Black Hills republicans is put
ting it in mild terms. Everyone want
ed to see the hero Of San Juan hill, and
do honor to the sterling qualities he
possesses as man; and while all were
unable to 20 to Deadwood or Lead yet
many went. Both railroads run extra
accommodations, and fully one thousand
people were carried into Deadwood for
the occasion. The Governor arrived
about s o'clock p. m. He was greeted
by great crowd as he alighted from his
train. He was at once escorted to car
riass and preceded by company of
rough riders, mounted, was conveyed to
the ID. G. depot where he took the train
for Lead. As the head of the column of
rough riders reached the d. e. depot the
column opened ranks. and the carriage
of Roosevelt passed through, followed
by Q great procession of torch light
bearers, and others. Transparencies
were conspicuous and the principal
streets of Deadwood were trayersed by
the procession. The crowd in Dead wood
reached into the thousands. But few of
the Lead people were in Deadwood as
they remained in their city to give the
Governor a telling reception in the
"City of Mills" Governor Roosevelt
arrived at Lead about thirty minutes
after his arrival in Deadwood and the
throngs of people that greeted him at
Lead were quite equal to that at Dead
wood. At Lead. although the most COM
modious building in the city was secured
for the meeting, yet hundreds we're un.
able to gain sdrnission. The Governor
returned to Deadwood about 10 o'clock
and spoke in the opera house, which
was packed to its utmost capacity, with
multitude Of disappointed people with
out unable to get in. At 1l:30 the Gov
ernor's train pulled out of Dead w ood,
and at twelve another special left over
the Elkhorn carrying out FIVE coach
loads of visitors. The occasion was
marked by the greatest degree of en-
thusiasm, and If any skeptic doubts the
earnestness of republicans in the Black
Hills such doubt would have been re-
moved by Wednesday evenings demon
! stration.

Homestesds on Black Hills Reserv.

A letter from the honorable commits.
sioner of the general land Office, dated
September 10, 1900, relating to home
steads on forest reserves may be of In.
tsrst to residents upon said reserves.
The letter says:
"In the matter Of disposing, prior tc
the perfecting Of title to homestead
claim, Of any portion of the land EN-
braced therein, you are informed that
such proceeding is illegal and would
both jeopardze the entry and inyalidate
the sale or transfer.
"In reply to your further inquiry, you
are advised that forest reserve lands re.
linqnished to the government are not
again subject to homestead entry, nor to
any further use or occupancy thereof by
the claimant or other party without due
authority from this Office. Very re.
spectfully,

Space forbids our giving synopsis of
the Governors speech. He is very en-
tertaining as we'll as logical and force
ful speaker. His views on the material
side Of the political situation, were like
his views 5i other matters-sensible
end practicable. He called attention to
the present prosperous condition Of the
country. All lines of business were
thrifty. Labor was every where EN-.
ployed. Products of every kind includ.
ing those of the farm were bringing a
good price and found ready market,
and appealed to his audience il it was
not good enough business policy to "lst
well enough alone" He referred to the
democratic declarations about the "con-
sent to be governed" and called atten-
tion to the Inconsistency of the party
supporting Mr.. Bryan and the discrep-
ancy between it's declarations and its
acts that the party, presumably with Mr..
Bryan's consent, was unremittingly
striving to wrest from the negro every
opportunity to have voice in the gov
ernment over him. He said "they (the
democratic party deem it eminently
proper for a brown man on the other
side of the world to shoot us to pieces,
and equally proper that a black man on
his side Of the world be denied to vote"
As to Mr.. Bryan's claim that the repu-
Dlican party was not responsible for the
present prosperity, but that was attri-
outable to providence. Mr.. Roosevelt
'aid "Well, gentlemen, am perfectly
willing to admit fusion between the
republican party and providence. The
democratic party has fused with pretty
nearly everything but have yetto bear
IF it making an alliance with proyi-
lence."

United States Geoios,csl Survey,

N. Ii. Darton of the United States geo.
logical survey, went to Custer yesterday
morning to make an examination of the
Grand junction mine, which is of special
interest on account of the fact that it's
formation is very similar to the Home
stake. 1t is slate formation and is 80
much like the Homestake that Mr.. Oar.
ton will embody his report of it in his
official report. Mr.. Darton has also ex.
amined the marble and lithograph stone
from the Black Hills Marble company's
ground near Custer. He says the litho-
graph stone is ofa very fine grade, and
will take any kind OF work. The diff
Guilty, 30 far encountered, of finding it in
marketable size, Mr.. Darton thinks, will
be obviated farther on in the tunnel.
Lithograph stone is very susceptible to
the elements and this accounts for its
being broken up near hesurface. The
white marble, be pronounced to be the
best and finest grain found in the wes-
tern states.
Mr.. Darton has spent the summer
making complete report Of the geologi-
cal formation of the southern half of the
Black Hills. He has about completed
the work and will leave for his home in
Washington City in few days. The
surveyors have already gone. Mr.. Dar-
ton has the proof ola very fine map OF
the northern Hills which is the result OF
last summers work. This, with the re-
port on the southern Hills, made this
summer will be officially published some
time in May or June.-Pioneer-T Times.
