A Correction.

A few days since, an item appeared in
the Pioneer Times concerning visit to
Deadwood OF Israel Bower of Custer, one
Of the commissioners of Custer county.
He came here for the purpose of secur-
ing the services of Judge Plowman to
assist in the prosecution of Jack German,
who is being held at Custer for the mur.
der of Streetor. The item referred to
read as though Mr.. Bower expressed an
opinion against the prisoner, German, a
thing he did not do. The "coloring" was
done by the Pioneer-Times reporter
Pioneer-Times, Sth.
We are glad to copy the above cor
rected statement from Mr.. Bower, as we
were unwilling to believe that he would
so improperly commit himself, in an
opinion so publicly expressed, in mat
ter which has yet to be adjudicated in
our court room where a man is to be
tried for his life.

The Water Works.


This much needed improvement which
was started in some time ago is now
making very satisfactory progress, and il
no unforeseen obstacle presents itself
should be complete about the middle OF
November. The contractors have been
subject to some vexatious delays, first in
the negotiating of the bonds and at times
they have experienced some difficulty
in obtaining workmen. We understand
that it will take about a week to finish
the Reservoir, while the ditch is more
than half complete
The piping was shipped on the 9th
Of September and arrived on the 9Th OF
October, and will be laid as fast as men
can be found to do the work. The well
from which'the supply Of water will be
obtained is now down about 10 feet. On
account of the lack of pumping capacity
the work of sinking has been very slow.
A new pump is now being installed
which is supposed to have capacity oil
400 gallons per minute which it is pre-
sumed will overcome the present diff
Guilty. We understand that the contract
calls for the sinking of the we'll to q
depth Of 20 feet, or until volume oi
water is reached which will yield at
least l50 gallons per minute.
The city seems to have been exceed.
ing fortunate in locating the WE'LL as the
bed rock has not been penetrated more
than foot, and the water is coming in
at the rate of 60 gallons a minute. An
extended depth of feet will probably
give them all the water the town will
ever need, but should more be required
it can easily be obtained by sinking a
little deeper, as it is evident that the
well has been sunk squarely on large
and is being pushed with all the energy
that can be brought to bear. Mr.. Dom
nelly, who has the matter in charge, is
fully qualified by virtue of the knowl.
edge that long and successful experience
in the business has brought. The
weather continues delightful and Custer
City will soon have the satisfaction and
dwell in the full enjoyment of a good and
complete system of water works. She
has adyanced one step higher in the
path of progress, step which will take
her out of the category of mere mining
camp, and being already equipped with
railroad facilities, telegraph and tele-
phone lines, we have but to add a sys-
tenn of gas or electric lights and we may
lay claim to the name and dignity Of a
city. We trust that the citizens Of Gus
ter will not grow weary in well doing
until we have made as we can make our
town sufficiently attractive to draw with

means, people of education and refine

and substantial places of business. We

Governor Herreid will this year
change the method Of distribution ofthe
reports of state officers to the legislative
members. In the past they been dis
tributed to the members after their ar
rival at the capital, and in the round OF
legislative work, they give such reports
but little consideration. This year Coy
ernor Herreid will forward such reports
to the various members elect as fast as
they are printed, and they will have
ample time to thoroughly look over such
reports before coming to the session, and
know just what each officer has to rec.
