A Black Hills Candidate.

Just now the state is being entertain
cd with the biennial cry from the Black
Hills that the western side of the state
wants congressman and wants one
bad. This old song from the Hills will
provoke smile on republican faces on
this side of the Missouri and awaken a
reminiscent mood in the minds Of those
who have attended republican state con.
ventions in years past. 1t was but two
years ago at the Mitchell convention
that the Hills delegates vigorously rs
sisted any and all efforts from 4 very
large and respectable percentage of dele
gates from the eastern counties to unite
with them in naming a congressional
nominee agreeable to them. They
again demurrsd to congressman and
insisted upon naming = weak candidate
for governor. Well. the combination
worked-they won the nomination but
another man was elected!
Now upon the advent of another state
ticket nominating convention the same
old cry is heard from the Hills, "We
want Congressman 1t is but fair
to concede that the Hills should have
a congressman, but when the time for
action regularly arrives the Hills rsgu.
larly suppresses its congressional emo.
tions and-goes cunning after some
thing else.
The Hills has failed to hold both a
Senator and congressman and the
names Of Moody and Lucas come to
mind in support of this statement.
Then, again. never has the Hills lack
ed an available candidate for either OF
these great b onors. For no republican
conyention was ever graced by more dis
tinguished and capable men than Gideon
Moody and Edwin Van Cise, and no
state ever had more capable and con.
scientious representative than old hon.
est Capt, Lucas Yet their retirement
was encompasssd by agencies the Hills
suffer to obtain on every recurring con,
Fentlon year.
In conclusion, this paper desires to be
recorded as not only faVoring the pro
position to give the Hills congressman
but it considers the western side of the
state with its wealth, population and
great diversity of interests fully entitled
to and should have a representative in
the senate.
Now, in all seriousness. cannot the
H lis, just for once, if you please, lay
aside their local prejudices and jealous
les and unite upon one of their very
many excellent republicans for either
congressman or senator. Don't al
speak at once!-Red6eld Journal OBJ

Republican politicians in Lead pro-
pore Walter Smead as n candidate for
congress, the proposition being 10 side
track Congressman Gamble with an en-
dorsement for United States senator to
succeed PettigrSw. There is not the
slightest objection to Mr.. CANDLES can
didacy for the senate, but there is great
danger and objection to an endorse
ment Of this sort by the state conven-
ton. Several months ago the Mail
expressed itself on this proposition, and
sees no reason to change the views then
advanced. To endorse Mr.. Gamble is
to side-track many other capable and
worthy men who would doubtless take
great interest in this years campaign
so long as there is free field and no
favors. Because Pettigrew says the
fusion convention will endorse him for
re election is no reason why republicans
must do otherwise. The Black Hills
wants a congressman or senator. Ii
We are not given place on the con-
II essional ticket, it must certainly
strengthen our claim for senator.
Because there is diversity of opinion
as to the most available candidate does
not imply that there are none. Dead

Pettigrew. He would also be credit

one of the strongest men Lead City
could propose. But the fact is still very

Mining Items.

News comes from Keystone that the
old Bismarck company has been reor-
ganized and that work on the Bis
marck will shortly be resumed.
The Hill City News states that work
in the Blue Lead, near Sheridan, has
been resumed with machine drills.
However, only slow headway is made
owing to the unusual hardness of the
rock.
A report comes from New York that
the Homestake Mining company of the
Black Hills, at meeting of the direc-
tors in New York had appropriated one
and half million dollars to be used in
improvements during the present year
The Deadwood Independent is in
formed that Mr.. Meade of Boston will
commence the construction of mill on
the Tip Top mining property, two miles
west of Rockerville on the Hill City and
Rapid wagon road. The ledge on this
property is large and will average about
$3.50 per ton free milling.
II. S. Recob and G. F. Black, of Chic
ago, stockholders of the Chicago Mica
Mining and Milling company, who spent
several days in Custer the latter part OF
last week, departed for the northern
Hills Saturday morning. The CHRoN-
IcLE learns that the company is negotiat-
ing for mica grinding mill, and that
work will again be resumed on the pro-
perty about the first Of April. The pro-
perty is situated about mile and half
east of town.

that each carries is not known. 1t is
the intention of the management to
shortly commence the sinking of a shaft
in the drift, about 110 feet from the en-
trance, at point where the rich string
ers of native copper were found some
time ago. 1t is believed that by sinking
this shaft rich body of copper ore will
be discovered.
THE LIZZIE MINE SHUT DOWN.
All the men employed in the Lizzie
mine east of town received notice Mon
day that their services would no longer
be required for the present. The shut
down is owing to the case now pending
in circuit court in which George Raver
and Mr.. B. r. Wood had made an ap-
plication for temporary order restrain
ing the company from selling their
stock for unpaid assessments. The
hearing was held at Rapid about three
weeks age, but Judge MCGEE has not as
yet rendered any decision in the matter.
A letter received on Wednesday by Mr..
Love, the general manager here, from
the company's branch Office at LeMars,
Iowa, states that nothing farther will be
done in the way Of development until
after the annual stockholders meeting
in March. We understand that it is
the intention of the company to sink q
new working shaft about 250 feet south.
west from the present workings when
they again resume operation. The
CHRONICLE hopes that the case now
pending in court will soon be settled
and work resumed in the near future.

RULES

The Weekly Bee will give away $4,000 in
premiums for the closest estimate of the
population of your own state as announced
I'm the 1900 census. Think of it, $4,000 In
premiums! Each subscriber will guess on
his own state, thus estimating the popula-
ton with which he is most familiar. The
first premium will be awarded to the one
making the closest estimate of the state IN
which he lives. THAT Is, closer than the
guess Of any other subscriber on his own
state.) For example, if the nearest estimate
is made by a Nebraska persons which is
10000 from the correct 1900 census population
of Nebraska he will get lst prize; but If a
man in Iowa were within 29,099 of the cor
rect figure for Iowa, the Iowa man would
get 1st prize, and the Nebraska man end
prize.
In case of tie, the estimate received
first will be awarded the premium.
