the Crown mine to the company's works
at Valparaiso, Indiana. This ia the
second car that has been shipped from
this mine in the last three weeks. An
other good vein was struck in the west

produces about ton and half of mica
daily.

THE BOOSTER COLUMN.

Ifthere is any one class of people we
need on this most precious earth it is
boosters. 1t ia lots easier to knock than
boost. Three or four sentences of ex.
pert knocking may overturn work OF
years. 1t is easy to destroy. Construc.
ton takes a deal more effort than des-
truction. The next time you hear some
one cussing Custer, try and set them
right by proving to them that Custer is
not half bad.
Where in all this Hills country is there
a town moro beautiful for situation ?
Every time your eye sweeps the horizon
You witness scenes unequalled in Europe.
The only difference is that the foreign
scenery is a little Lst.er advertised.
The air in Custer is pure and wholesome
and is not filled with smoke as is the
case in some of our sister towns. The
sun shines for few minutes at least al
most every day in the year. Not an
other town in the Hills has an average
of good weather that will in any way
compare with Custer.
Then as to the town-Where are peo-
pie more delightful and cordial? Where
will you find better schools or more ear
nest teachers? We haye three churches
in working order and another fully
equipped which will in all probability be
opened soon. Then we have two banks
where you can get money if your secur-
ity is good, and street full of business
houses where you can buy and get fairer
treatment than Montgomery Ward or
Sears Rosbuck will give you.
What's the matter with CusterP Not
a thing on earth. AS sure as the sun
shines there is a good substantial boom
coming to this town. 1t is due this sum-
mer and if your ear is TO the ground you
can hear it coming. More building will
be done here this sum mer than i'm years.
BY fall the entire burned district will be
rebuilt with few residences thrown in.
Several gold mines near US will shortly
leaye the ranks of prospects and become
producers. These with the mica mine,
the marble quarry, the complete devel.
opment of the lithograph stone quarry
and the resumption of the paint factory
May /, will hel p make business in this
town fairly hum this summer.
Then the water works-so long con.
sidered-will in all probability be start
ed. The recent increase of fire insur.
ance rates in all old line companies gives
US the hint that with fire protection we
can hope for better things. And when
we have the system of water works it will
not be out of place to hope and pray for
an electric light plant for lighting the
streets and homes of the town.
Now don't shrug your shoulders and
say what a pretty dream. Don't say We
have had that same line Of talk for the
last twenty years. Be booster. Get
in line and by your effort help make
this dream come true. Don't be a
knocker. Any one can knock but it takes
q man with heart and soul to boost.
Think of nothing but success for Custer.
Talk Of nothing but the success that is
coming to Custer. All things come
through desire. BY your thinking and
talking and working we will gradually
transform the real into the ideal Be a
booster.

NORTH STAR MILL.

| Lh0 hioI ICOHsiRniucuI vi iudCNiueTy iOI
the North Star Mining Company's mill
seven miles west from Custer, will ar.
rive in few days. Carpenters are now
at work putting up the framework for
the new ten-stamp mill that has been
ordered. 1t is expected that the mill
will be ready for work some time in
July. 1t is being built with space for
thirty. stamps, should the company de-
eide to put them in. Experiments have
been conducted for some time on the ore
for the purpose of arriving at satisfac-
tory process by which the refractory
values may be saved. The ore will
average close to $40 per ton, of which
only part can be saved by the free mill
ing process. 1t is understood that the
company will put in some chemical pro
cess, possibly cyanide, by which the tail
ings can be treated at home. The COM
pany is composed of Omaha and Council
Bluffs capitalists, and is the owner of a
group of six claims. The ore is found in
large fissure veins and has been opened
to depth of over 800 feet, with a num-
ber Of drifts. Development work has
been prosecuted on this property stead
lily and Systematically for the past three
years.
ORE OF PHENOMENAL RICHNESS.
In the mine of the Sunbeam Gold
Mining and Milling Company in Friday
gulch ore has been encountered in the
working shaft at a depth of 120 feet,
which in richness surpasses anything
heretofore found in the southern Hills,
taking into consideration the quantity Of
1t. Since it was first found fifteen feet
have been sunk, and large number of
tons of ore have been taken out. A
careful examination of the rock on the
dump reveals the fact that there are
more pieces which show speck Of free
gold than there are that do not A great
many assays have been made on the ore,
practically every foot has been tested,
and not one has given less value than
500 in gold to the ton of rock We
have been told that DR.. Chambers, the
manager of the company has selected
from the ore dump the richest specimen
rock, about two tons in all, which he has
in the laboratory room, and which will
mill $4,000 in gold to the ton of rock.
The ledge which produces this ore.
phenomenal in its richness, is three feet
and one half wide. The mine in which
this valuable find was made ia more
familiarly known as the Hawk Wright
property.-Hill City News.

Major Conger Is authority for this
statement. The memory of the days
when, besieged in the legation, his life
and the lives of his family were in con-
slant danger from the Monaghan

yet he has made no intlmation to the

is attempting to make its way over
Verkhoyansk, East Siberia, at the end
of February. In spite of forebodings Of
officials at Yakutsk, who strongly urged
DeWindt not to continue his journey.
saying the conditions We're worse this
years than ever, the expedition had
reached verlkhoyansk, 600 miles north
of Yakutsk. February %, Members of
the expedition had a terrible exper-
fence while crossing the Verlihoyansk
mountains. The cold was intense, 63
degrees below zero being registered.
All the travellers We're frost bitten.
Otherwise they are all we'll and in good
spirits, and were leaving the same day
for Sredne Kolyaask, town in east
Siberia, 800 miles further on, which the
party hoped to reach about the middle
of March Then 1t was their Intention
to push on 1,500 miles, to the east cape

into the combination. the agent of one
of the steamship lines said:
1.-THE combination will slash rates
whenever the Cunard line figures in the
passenger business. which is that com
pany's stronghold. 1t will be possible
to make a $40 rate for Storage passen-
gers on combination ships every time a
Cunard craft leaves port, and combina-
lions sailing can be so arranged as to
affect the Cunard sailings most
Another phase of the combination is
said to be the desire to arrange clear
ing house much on the idea of the rail-
road pools, whereby each line will con-
troll it's own personal affairs, but will be
looked after by n board or committee
which will arrange rates and fix sail
ngs. The agent of British line said
that the combination would do away
absolutely with passes and reduced
dalton would be denied even to em-
ployes
BY the proposed combination Of the
steamship lines, to include more than
100 transatlantic steamers, it is ex-
pected that the mail service will be SC
facilitated tina the European mail can
leave here once day.

Steel and Tinworkers' Convention.
Wheeling, w. Va, April 22-The
feature of yesterdays session OF the
convention of the Amalgamated' Asso-
citation of iron, Steel and Tin Workers
was the annual report of President
Theodore Shaffer, which was listened
to with GREATNESS interest from COM
mencement to close. President Sha1-
fer said that at the opening or the
strike the Amalgamated Association
was in fair way to succeed without
the assistance of other organizations,
but they naturally looked for some as
sistance from the American Federation
of Labor, with which the Amalgamated
Association had been affiliated since
its inception and toward whose sup
port the Amalgamated Association had
never failed to contribute. They We're
on the highway to success until the
circulation of malicious lies by the
newspapers of the country, when
bred doubt in the minds of their own
members and there was desertion from
the ranks and scabbing. Hundreds
who dared not sheep" at home Went
to other places and worked side by
side with non union men. The Amerl-
can Federation of Labor contributed
not single cent to the assistance OF
the association, and the flints. the Win
dow blowers, the bottle blowers and
the pottery workers alone gave thru
the national lodges. They received
nothing thru the national lodges OF
the mine workers, but the association
received much assistance from the To-
cal lodges of many organizations, and
these, he hoped, would never be for
gotten by the Amalgamated Assocfa-
ton When it was seen that lack OF
money and loss of public approval and
desertion by hundreds of the associa-
tons own people they We're doomed
to meet with something short of a de-
cisive victory, an agreement was made
with Mr.. Gompers, president OF tho
American Federation of Labor. to meet
J. p Morgan and endeayor to effect a
settlement. Mr. Morgan forsook the
pleasures of a. vacation, went to New
York and awaited the coming of Mr..
Gompers, but that gentleman never ap-
peared Mr.. Shaffer recited the en-
tire history of the strike from start to
finish In conclusion. it is said he ex-
pressed his Willingness to give up the
executive Office whenever he was
deemed an inefficient officer by the
members of the association. He de-
claredt that he had ever had the asso-
oiations best interests at heart.
