The Timber Beetle.

f. M. Griffith, of the United States
forestry bureau, together with Prof.
Clifford Pinchot and DIR. Hopkins, haye
come and gone. They came to the Hills
to investigate the habits of the timber
bug which has been devastating our
forests for the last three years. They
have spent the greater part Of their
time in the northern Hills and have
made careful and minute examination
of the insects. They say that it is a
Black Hills product, confined to the
forests of the Black Hills, and thus far
has meyer appeared outside of this Sec
ton. DR.. Hopkins has charge OF
the entomology department of the West
Virginia experiment station. and is we'll
versed in the different varieties and
habits of insects OF America. He makes
the gratifying statement that there is
another small red bug which belongs to
the species of bed bug which is preying
upon the forest beetle and, as he be.
lieves, will finally exterminate them.
1t seems as a result of their final ex-
animation that the destructive beetle
works mostly in the timber of larger
growth, and selects the trees which are
the least thrifty and those which are
not adequately nourished with the
proper amount Of moisture. On this
account we haye reason to hope that the
heavy and continuous rains we have
had through the summer and fall will
very much retard their operations, and
perhaps Danish them entirely.

run to Denver for Black Hills people,
and rate of S12 for the round trip, first
class in every respect, will be given.
This is an opportunity to visit the
metropolis of Colorado and see the great
exposition that does not present itself
often, and every one should take ad-
vantage of the low rate and the excel.
lent accommodations. The special train
will depend on the number of persons
going. Let everybody take advantage
Of the opportunity, and hand or send

from this main shaft in several direc-
tions. They are not developing for
day but for many productive years of
coming time. Supt. Graydon has returned
from the east, and the work will now be
pushed with greater vigor.
WABASH MINING co.
The Wabash Mining company, of
which Mr.. ]. F. Sidey is general man.
ager, has purchased a complete steam
hosting plant. which is now on the way
to the Hills. The engine and boiler are
of S0-horse power. and they are prepar-
ed to sink to the depth of 900 feet
This is a strong company. Most of the
stockholders reside in Milwaukee, and
we understand are mining men and
have mines in Colorado which they are
working with success. Their Black Hills
holdings are situate in the Dansby min
ing district. about eight miles west from
Custer, where they baye acquired quite
a large group, of which the Dutchess is
the most prominent, having received
the greater amount of development.
The company is now erecting large
boarding house and bunk house at the
mines. The shaft will be double
compartment. There are at presen1
about fourteen men employed. The
work will be pushed and the working
force increased as soon as more men
can be worked to advantage. We
cordially welcome this new company to
our district and shall watch the deyel-
opements with interest.
THE SAGINAW.
The Saginaw Gold Mining company,
whose property lies nine miles north
west from Custer, are preparing to install
steam hosting plant at the mines,
with electric drills and all the latest ap-
pliances for mining up to date. The
company. since purchasing the Saginaw,
have bonded the adjoining claims be-
longing to Mr.. B. +. Wicker, which will
be incorporated with the Saginaw prop
erty. We understand that it is contem-
plate to put reduction plant on the
ground as soon as developments will
Justify. The officers and directors for
the most part are residents of the state
of Michigan. L P. Woodbury. is presi-
dent, B. R. Noble vice president, Chas.
Noble, secretary, and Chas. M. Henly
financial director. The Saginaw mine
proper is large vein Of gold ore
which by many recent tests will run
$50 per ton. The names of the promot
ors are sufficient to assure financial
soundness, and that operations will be
pushed with energy.

Mining Items.

The Gertie Tin Mining company 1t is
reported will erect in the near future a
plant for the concentrating of their tin
ore and also for ores carrying gold.
They both occur in the same property
and together should prove a very profit
able industry. We understand that
they are adding to their holdings by the
purchase of other claims in the vicinity.
The Ochre mill situated in the west
end of town has recently shipped two
car loads of ground pigments to their
works in Chicago, where it will be mix
ed and ground into oil preparatory to
putting on the market. They manufac.
ture two kinds, the red which is pro.
duced from earthly or bog iron which
mostly comes from the vicinity of Ma.
hant on the B. & NJ. railroad, and the
black graphite paint which at present
is being hauled from the Coyahoga COM
pany's mines at Iron Mountain.
The work on the Old Bill is progress.
ing steadily. The shaft Ia double COM
partment) is down about 70 feet. There
Is no change in the character Of the ore
except 1t becomes more pyritic as depth
is attained. The ore is of an excellent
grade, the vein is a large one and every
thing points to the development of a
grand producer in the near future. Mr..
Stafford, who holds bond on the prop
erty, was much pleased with its appear
ancs when he was last here. He is
figuring to put steam hoist on the
mine.
The University Mining company,
whose mines are located on Spring creek,
about nine miles northwest from Custer
are now progressing rapidly with their
shaft, having at the first of the month
put on double shift. They expect to
strike the vein ION it's dip) at about the
depth of 90 feet. There is perfect net
work of veins in this ground. The ore
is of medium grade, largely pyritic, well
adapted to cyanide process. The ore
bodies in this property are practically
inexhaustible. Like the Homstake, the
Mercur of Utah, and few others
which furnish facilities for mining on @
grand scale. 1t is from such mines that
the greatest fortunes are obtained.
The Clara Belle mine, nine miles
north from Custer, of which Mr.. Frank
Hebert is the principal owner, is pro.
crossing favorably and the regular clean
ups from the little two stamp mill shows
that the grade of the ore maintains its ex.
ceptional character. The ore runs $40
per ton free milling which, as we have
said, is exceptional. No concentrators
have as yet been added to the little
plant and the rich concentrates are al
lowed to run to waste. This is a con.
dition which should not, and we are
assured will not be allowed 10 continue
much longer, as arrangements are being
perfected to put up larger mill with all
the appliances for saving the precious
metal up to date.
The Crown mica company, whose
mines are located about three miles
northwest from town. are engaged in
sinking new shaft west of their old
workings. This, as we understand. il
not for the purpose of striking any
particular body of mica, but as a work
ing shaft sunk for the greater convent
ence OF working the different chutes oi
mica which are known to be- on all sides
and can be readily struck by drifting

worse than lepers, they are mad dogs,
and all nations should unite in their
suppression.
This attack upon the president has
cast gloom oyer the whole nation,
and every patriot feels at this time
that we cannot afford to lose so
great and good a man. We are
glad to learn that the president
is gaining and in a fair way to re-
cover, and his physicians say that from
all present indications, that in course of
six weeks he may be able to resume
his duties, and We hope and trust that it
may be 30.

manager.

The prospectors and mine owners Of
this district are very busy just now do
ing their annual work and we hear of
new strikes every day. Taey will keep,
and it is premature to mention them
until little moro development has been
brought to bear, which will further
disclose their merits. They say our
town is little quiet just now, but it is a
good sign as it shows the farmers are
busy harvesting and threshing and
taking care of their crops which are
abundant, and the miners are busy under
the ground. From any point of view
the outlook for Custer's prosperity was
never brighter than it is to-dav.

The Tribune-Pilot, in Its issue of Sep

visited the Hills:
"Hon. A. B. Kittredge, U. s. Senator,
Sioux Falls, arrived Thursday on his
way 10 Deadwood. Mr.. Kittredge is one
of the most pleasant Of men socially and
the genial warmth Of his manner melts
all reserve. He is consistent republi-

The Attempted Assassination Of the Pre-
sident.

The whole nation today is in feyer
of excitement over the attempted assas-
sinatiou OF the president of the United
States. 1t is natural that it should be
30, and every man who loyes his country
whether republican, democrat. or popu
list, must condemn the act and the
actor. If we lived in Russia, or in any
other country where the people are
some times ground down under the iron
heel Of tyrant, it might be different.
There is limit to human endurance,
and it is admitted that there are cir
cumstances under which revolutions are
justifiable. and in extreme cases such as
the uprising of our forefathers against
England in the days of 49," it may be-
come praiseworthy. But in this coun-
try there are no such conditions to con-
slider. This is a Republic where the
people rule, and our officials are our
public servants. There is ample pro-
vision made in the constitution to deal
with any officer, whose actions and
whose will runs counter to the will of
the people, and he may be made to step
down and out. And therefore. there is
no call, no room. no place for o nihilist
or al anarchist in this country.
They are simply a lot of idiotic,
blood-thirty fanatics, and they should
not be allowed to live in any
civilized country. They should every
Que ss fast as they can be caught trans.
ported to some lonely island, and there
be kept under strict guard to see that
none escape to polute the air that is
breathed by decent people. They are

GRAND ISLAND CHANGES.


st. Joseph, Mo, Feb. SIT is said up
on good authority that the real object
OF the conference of Chicago, burlington
& Quincy head officials in ST. Joseph
during the last two days was to perfect
plans for the absorption by that road OF
the St Joseph & Grand Island. It has
been known for several months thai
stock in the Grand Island was being
bought up by the Burlington ana the
announcement that the road will pass
under the control of the officials of the
Burlington system is expected at an ear
~ date. The Kansas City and Omaha
branch of the Grand Island has been in
the hands Of the Burlington for nearly
a year The conference in this city was
attended by General Manager Du Puy

we wish to say just few words to
the public in regard to an article which
has appeared correcting the impression
that Messrs. J. w. Gleed, president OF
the State Temperance union and T. F.
Stephens, were left off the list of new
officers because of our opposition TO
them The statement of the chairman
of the nominating committee is correct,
and as to Mr.. Gleed there has never been
on the part of either of US the least OPP
position to him in any way. We have
had several conferences with him during
the year and have always found him
straight out and open in his dealings
with US. He always kept faith, ana
though not always agreeing, yet he
treated us fairly in every respect. Moth
ing would give us greater pleasure than
to see him continue at the head of the
Kansas State Temperance union for an
other term. AS to the other matters
mentioned from time to time we simply
ask the temperance people to be patient
and matters Will be arranged in time
we trust to the satisfaction Of all. and
the best interests of the cause in the

SEEKING HARMONY.
New Title Applied to the Latest Steel
Combine.

New York, Feb8.-A Wall street news
agency reports that the following state
ment was obtained today at the office of
the Federal Steel company:
y. P. Morgan & Co, are undoubtedly
considering plans for the acquisition of
the properties of some of the largest iron
and steel companies of this country. Pre-
sumably they will not make or author
ize any official statement until after the
plans are perfected and it is probable
that they will manage the ownership or
control so as to secure perfect and per-
manent harmony in the larger lines Of
this industry. 1t is not intended how
ever to obtain control of any line of bus
mess or to create any monopoly or trust
or in any way antagonize any people,
policy or law. The method to be adopt
ed in acquiring properties will not per-
NIT any minority stock interest to inter
fere if stockholders were SO disposed,
which is not probable, as his pecuniary
interest will notify him otherwise The
success of the enterprise will result il
great benefit to investors in securities,
the consumers and the working men or
employees. Little if any new cash will
be required and therefore the present
financial condition will not be disturbed. .
