d. N. Ely Dead.

George Tarbell is in receipt Of letter
from Mrs. L G.. Barr, of Livingst on,
Montana, under date Of December oath.
announcing the death Of Mr.. d. N. Ely
at that place. Mr.. Ely will be remem-
bered by some of our local readers as a
formei resident of Custer. He was ap-
pointed sheriff of Custer county in 1877
by Governor Pennington when the
county was first organized. He left here
in the early eighties for Montana, ac-
companied by his family, where they
have reIideG ever since. Following is
an extract taken from a Livingston pa.
per of recent date:
ID. N. Ely was brought down from
Jardine Friday in a very precarious
condition. The gentleman had con-
tracted severe case of pneumonia and
it was very doubtful whether he would
be able to hold his own against the dis
ease. He bore up under the trip from
Jardine as we'll could be expected and
was taken to the home of his family in
this city, where the vigilance of loving
friends and the constant watchfulness
of DR.. Alton it was hoped would pro
duce change for the better, but these
hopes were shattered. Just as we 60
to press the news reached the office
that the soul Of d. N. Ely had passed 10
the great beyond. He went peacefully
to sleep and his eyes never again open
ed to light of this world and his deaf
ears heard not the mourning of his
grief stricken family. d. N. Ely was
a man. In that word can his epitaph
best be written. Nothing was ever
said of him but kind words in life and
nothing that could be said now would
add any lustre to his memory. He came
out west from Ohio, and settled in the
Black Hills He served there as one OF
the first United States Marshals, doing
much to preserve order in those troub.
lous times. He served with distinction
in the civil war as captain in the Eighth
Ohio cavalry. He was four years un.
der sheriff Of this county. He leaves a
wife and two children, Carl and Flossie
to mourn his loss. He was a member
Of the United Modsrns, Maccabees and
knights Of Pythias. In the first two
lodges he was insured for S3.O00.00

Production of TIN,

The total production of tin in 1893
has been estimated at 76,300 tons; in
1890 it was but $500. The greater part
of tin comes from the Malay Peninsula,
which is said furnishes 60.6 per cent,
not counting the Detch East Indies,
which give 19 per cent. Following this
comes Australia with 10 per cent, Corn
wall 6.1, and Bolivia 10 per cent. II
may be remarked that forty years ago
Cornwall furnished so per cent OF the
total. The most productive region is
that part Of the Malay Peninsula ex-
tending from Burma and Siam to Sum
atra. In the Australian region the CHIEF
center of production is Tasmania. The
principal consumers for 1893 have been
the United States, $4,000; Great Britain
$4,000; Germany, 1880; and France
$500. The expectation of tin plate
from Great Britain has been 25l, ,76E
tons, and that country consumes l50,
600 tons. The production Of Americs
for the year is estimated at 1927 600. Th,
total production of tin plate is estimated
at 100000 tons, and the tin required TO
It's manufacture reaches 10000 to 25,0O(
tons.
