The time is short. and We, your COM
mittee, would urge all those who intend
having their mines represented at the
exhibition at Deadwood TO bring in their
ores without delay. The exhibition will
open on the 3rd OF July, but there is
much to be done in fixing up the space
in the mineral palace, and arranging
samples for creditable display.
The managers at Deadwood have al.
lowed liberal space for Custer. and it
behooves us as comrnunity to see to it
that the space is not left vacant. We
claim that the mines of this district are
equal to the best in the Hills, both as to
size of vein and quality of ore, but
strangers who are looking for mines as
an investment will not take our word for
it altogether. The man from Missouri
says, ''you must show me- and that
seems TO be the rute adopted by all
those who seek in these days to put
their money into mines as source OF
profit. 1t 10 very involvement, and
probably " will not be allowed, to re-.

When you send in your ores be sure

diEerentsites. Any choice samples of

covered show cases and kept locked
Such specimens will be returned to the
owners at the close of the exhibit.

At his residence near Spokane, S. d.,
on the 18th of June, of Brights disease
of the kidneys, N. S. Neil, who was an
early resident of the Hills and who
made mining his occupation.
Mr.. Neil was much respected in the
district in which he lived. and served
one term as county commissioner Of the
End district in Custer county. AS near
as we have been able to ascertain the
deceased was about rs years of age at
the time of his death. and leaves wife
to mourn his loss. Mr.. Neil came
originally from the State Of Maine, but
what his family relations are in his old
home we do not know, and if he has
children there is also unknown.
The remains were buried in the GENE.

circle of friends who gathered at the
grave to witness the last cad rites, and
to bid last farewell to one whom they

The price of tin has been steadily ao.
vancing for the last ten years, on &C.
count of the rapidly increasing demand
for the metal. and the very slow increase
Of the production. :. In 1891 the worlds
output was 66,5S7 tons, the CONSUMPTION
63,944 tons and the price S437 40 per ton.
In 1900 the yield was 76,925 tons, the
consumption 79,s69 tons, and the price
$G4l .04. Fully three quarters of the en-
tire production comes from the Malay
peninsula and adjoining East Indian
islands. where the mines are worked
mainly by Chinese labor and in the most
primitive fashion. 1t would seem as If
the time has come when the tin deposits
in the Black Hills could be operated
with profit.

Purchase of unaeyeloped Ground.

The mining season has scarcely open.
ed yet for the present year and yet con.
siderable activity is noticeable In the
Black Hills already, says the Black Hills
Mining Review. So far most Of the
inquiries for mining ground have been
for developed properties, that is, proper
ties upon which some considerable
amount of ore has been developed. The
number Of developed properties, how
ever, is not so very large. and investors
will soon be obliged to take hold of un-
developed ground. 1t will require con-
siderable inducement, however, Oh the
part of the property owners, to interest
capitalists in undeveloped properties.
There is no use to ask, and propefty
owners have no right to expect, that in.
vestors will put much money in unde.
veloped ground. Investors will take a
sufficient risk if they are willing to put
money into the deve!oprfeht Of The
property, and prices for undeyeloped
property should be made reasonable 80
AS to offer an inducement for capital to
take hold of them. We frequently hear
some man say that there is no use Of in
vestors talking with him unless they are
willing to pay cash that he does not
care to have any man take hold Of his
ground on the development plan, for
fear it might prove his ground worthless
and thereby prevent him from making
a sale altogether. The utter absurdity
of this idea is enough to condemn it
with business men, but there are men
who pretend to some degree Of common
sense who talk this way. Such notions
have tended to retard the development
of the country, and will continue to do
30 unless abandoned. Now is the time
for men owning properties to commence
systematic Development work on them,
for the purpose Of finding the ore.
Properties that have ore shown up on
themj and offer fair prospect of devel.
oping into mines, will net have to &c
begging for purchasers this spnmer
provided the price asked for them ID
reasonable and if the price asked fol
them is not reasonable the owneH may
expect to sit down and wait for years tc
come. for purchaser, and then have ia
take whatever is offered them. We are
trying to convince people that mining ID
a business proposition, and it is becom.

RahaarinR Deniad.

States Attorney C. f. Smith, on Sat
nrday of last week, received official no.
tice from the clerk of the supreme court,
that the application for a rehearing in
the case of Robert A. Stewart against
Custer county had been denied.
This is an action brought by Mr..
Stewart to recover Judgment against the
county upon general fund warrants
or orders Of the defendant, which war
rahts are owned and held by Mr.. Stew
art. About $4,000 were involved. The
case was tried in the circuit court in
July, 1900, and decided in favor Of the
county. Mr.. Stewart appealed to the
supreme couA and decision was hand.
ed down December 3lst; last, affirming
the decision of the lower court. Imme
diately thereafter, w. E. Benedict, at
torney for Mr.. Stewart, made applica'
ton for rehearing in the case.
The question involved in the case was
"Had the plaintiffs cause of action ma
tured, or has the holder of genera
fund county warrant, regularly issued
and for valid consideration and lega
claim against the county, which was pre-
sented to the proper paying officer of tht
county, and payment thereof refused fol
want of funds, and due registration
thereof for payment had been made, tn,
right to maintain an action in court OF
such warrants?"
In the trial court the states attorney
contended that be had not, and in thi
he was sustained by the presiding judge
who held that as there we're other war
rants Of prior registration which wer,
not yet paid, the plaintiffs cause Of &C
ton had not matured. That Undo
such circumstances no suit would lii
until the county was guilty Of either
failure to levy taxes, or q misappropria
ton of monies already collected.
The fact of the supreme court sustain
ing this point is of considerable interss
to the taxpayers Of the county, and
victory for States Attorney Smith.

The necessity for attixing war revenue
stamps upon large class Of commercial
paper will no longer exist after July /.
The Use of the proprietary stamps will
not cease altogether. Stamps will not
be required on kilograms, checks, ex-
press receipts, insurance policies or
leases, but will be required upon bills of
lading. While stamps will still be re.
qnired on deeds, the minimum will be
much higher than formerly and the per-
centage will be much less. All deeds In
which the consideration is $4,000 and
$4,000 will require but % cent stamp.
Twenty five cents will be required for
each additional $500. Under the pres
ent law deed over $500 requires 81, and
so cents is required for every $500 addi-
tionul aboye 81 900. There is big diff
ference here.

tributed $24l, ,Sl4 Of the interest and in

This apportionment is just 81 per capita

ment which is made on basis of school
population, and is made in June each

made. Last year the apportionment was
made on a school population six thous.

that business man can sit down and
figure the amount Of ore in sight and
the value Of it and the cost Of treatment,
and can figure on the future possibilities
of the property, and can tell with rea.
sonable certainty whether or not there
is any money in it for him al the price
offered. Unless there is profit in II for
the investor 1t is reasonably certain that
he will not invest. The days Of mad
speculation and unreasonable invest
ment in mining ground have passed,
and property owners should recognize
this fact and set q value upon their
property accordingly.
There is an unreasonable prejudice
against stock companies where the stock
is assessabIes but they are the only SON
sible and reasonable method Of develoi-
ing mining ground where the owners
are unable 10 pay for the development
themselves. They should be fairly and
honorably managed Of course, and II
they are they are the fairest way for the
development Of mining properties, be-
cause each owner is obliged to pay his
proportion Of the Development, and
should Of course share equally in the
profit when the property is sold. By
this sort Of cooperation any number of
properties might be developed by the
business men of each locality without
seriously burdening the owners, and
thereby place many more developed
properties upon the market Unless
outside capital can be induced to take
hold of undeyeloped properties our
local business men will be obliged to
develop their own properties in some
way before they can find market for
them. These things should be borne in
mind however, viz That capitalists are
not going to pay large prices for unde-
veloped properties, consequently they
will want time to develop the properties
before they take hold of them at all.
Property owners can do very much to-
ward attracting capital here by bearing
these things In mind and Offering rea-
sonable terms for the purchase and de-
velopment Of their ground.
