The Spirit Of Winter.

The spirit of winter is with us, max
ing its presence known in many diff
ferent ways-sometimes by CHEEKY sun
shine ard glistening SHOWS, and some
times by driving winds and binding

take delight in making bad things
worse. for rheumatism twists harder
twinges sharper, catarrh becomes more
annoying, and the many symptoms az

There is not much poetry in this. but

tempting to decide them solely as ju-

new secretary, Mr.. Clark. with him
now at the Capitol.
Gov. Burleigh has been doing a great
deal of department work during the
last three or four weeks, his errands
for the Third District constituency TAX
ing him all along the line from the men,
sion bureau, where he has hundreds ut
cases of Maine soldiers to look after, up
to the war department to the office of
Gen. Miles. The Governor and Sena-
tor Hale have made many calls on de-
partment work together lately, espec-
tally at the war and post office depart
ment, where they have many common
interests in questions affecting Maine
people. Much of this work they did
before Congress reconvened. The
heads of departments and the chiefs of
bureaus were then less occupied, as
there We're fewer members in town and
accordingly less department work to
attend to.
Pensions form a considerable portion
of the work, outside of the sessions of
Congress, for most OF the Northern
members. especially the members from
Maine. who attend to those duties very
faithfully and conscientiously. AS a
matter of fact they are able to do more
for their soldier constituents through
the pension bureau than by seeking to
pass private pension bills in Congress-
1t is a good record for one man in the
House to pass two or three separate
bills at one session, whereas by calling
up the papers in cases at the pension
bureau the pensions of scores Of veter-
ans may be advanced within a few
months. Often little personal atten-
ton to papers makes it possible to
have a pension granted in a few weeks
or months. where otherwise it would be
delayed for years.

tonic, Peruna:

| Thousands of women suffer from sys-
temic catarrh. This is sure to produce
such symptoms as cold feet and hands,
sick headache, palpitation Of the heart
and heavy feelings in the stomach.
| Then begins series Of experiments.
They take medicine for sick headache.
They take medicine for nervous prostra-
ton, for palpitation Of the heart, for
dyspepsia. None of these medicines do
any good because they do not reach the
cause of the complaint.
Peruna ut once mitigates all these
symptoms by removing the cause.
Systemic catarrh is the trouble. Sys-
temic catarrh pervades the whole sys-
tenn, deranges every organ, weakens
every function. No permanent cure can
be expected until the systemic catarrh
is removed.
This is exactly what Peruna will do.

General Review OF 1901.

The following about the mining inter
ests of Custer county appeared in the
Black Hills Mining Review of January
End:
The Clara Belle Gold Mining company
was organized during the year on the
we'll known Clara Belle property, near
Custer, belonging to the Hebert broth
ers. Ore from the mine has been mill
ed continuously in the Tremaine mill.
The ledge is being developed by per-
manent working shaft. and new stamp
mill. with means of handling the tail
ings, is contemplated by the company.
A stamp mill will be built in the spring
on the North Star, nine miles from Gus
ter. The owners, Omaha men, have
been developing the ledge for several
years, and a large amount of ore, run.
ming from $40 to so ton. has been
been blocked out.
The University Gold Mining and Mill.
ing company put in new steam hoist
during the year, and has been sinking a
permanent working shaft. The com.
pany has been working in free milling
ore of good grade.
A shipment Of ore was made by the
Saginaw Mining company to Denver
during the summer. The property is
near the North Star.
Marble, mica, lithograph stone and
kaolin clay have been disclosed in large
quantities around Custer by the Black
Hills Porcelain Clay and Marble com.
pany. This is strong corporation, and
large amount Of money is being ex.
pended on its Custer county properties
The Drummond ten-stamp mill has
been purchased by the Wabash Gold
Mining company, and is to be set mp al
the compsny's property, short ways
from Custer. The Wabash company put
in new hosting plant during the year
and built several new buildings.
The old hoist from the Golden Slipper
in Pennington county is to be moved to
the "Old Bill" ground, near Custer. j
B. Stafford, who is interested in the com
pany that has the bond on the Golden
Slipper. is also interested in a bond on
the "Old Bill" and is getting ready fol
work.
A number of Custer business mer
formed the May Gold Mining company
during the year, which has been operat'
ing on the May gold property, situated
on Lightning Creek.
Copper developments are also under
way in Custer county. The Copper Butte
company, which was organized some
years ago by Col. NJ. II. Day, is prospect
ing with a diamond drill on Spring
Creek, and has encountered large ledge
of copper bearing ore, which also con
tains gold, silver and nickel.
Mica shipments haye been made from
the Crown mica mine, being worked by
the Chicago Mica company, the work be-
ing in charge of +. c. n. Graydon. The
New York mica mine has been WORKED
by Sioux City persons, whose local rep

Mining Items.

We are informed that foot vein of
gold quartz has been opened up on one
of the claims belonging to the Vigilante
Mining company some 500 feet west Of
the deep shaft. The vein runs norther.
ly and southerly and has foot or more
of gouge matter on both walls. Tests
are being made, the results of which we
hope to be able to give in our next issue.
The preliminary estimate of Mr.. Ro.
berts, the director of the mint, on pro-
duction of gold and silver in the United
States during the calendar year 1901 in
dicates only slight gain over the pro-
duction of the preceding year. The
yield of Alaska fell off by about 81 ,000,-
600. Colorado made slight gain in
gold and the other producers we're near
ly stationary. The yield of silver ex-
tceeded that of the previous year~by
100000 fine ounces. The total number
of ounces of fine gold is 3,8S0,57S, of the
value of $50, DOS, 800. The number of me
ounces of silver produced was SO, ,653, 1888,
haying a commercial value of $35, ,792,-
200. The coinage value of the silver is
approximately $77 100000.
