Some Needed improvements.

Our present board of county commits
sioners consists Of Geo. Kimble, Frank
Kirk and John Maxson, and we are glad
to see that they seem to be imbued with
spirit Of enterprise, and have started
in to accomplish some long needed i'm
provements, which were badly needed.
Among other things they are putting
water into the court house yard and
with sprinkler will soon have a nice
lawn and will keep it nice. They pro:
pose to put a new roof on the building,
and make other needed repairs.
We would suggest that the town board
also take steps to repair the damage
that was done to Custer
Avenue last year by filing up the ditch
next to the sidewalk. This would allow
the water to flow away in the middle of
the street, and admit of those having
business with our merchants to approach
their places Of business without getting
out in mud hole and wading through
mud and much tribulation to make
their purchases. Strange that men who
start in to set things to rights, some
times end by setting them all to wrongs.

Double Murder a. Gillette Wyoming

w. E. Clifton, ranchman of Wyom.
ing, stands confessed of one of the most
atrocious and cold blooded murders that
has hitherto ever occurred in the west.

stances as related by the officers vho

ing Of Wednesday last.
1t seemed that this fiend in human
form Clifton lived on a neighboring
ranch to that occupied by Mr.. and Mrs
J. w. Church, located about 20 miles in

town of Gillette, station on the B. and

about FIVE weeks ago and suspicion rest.

ed. He told how he had dealings with
Church wherein he had bought the
ranch and paid for 1t. and then he delib.
aratsly made up his mind to kill them
both and get his money back. The
amount we understand was something
like 5000. He says he killed Mr.. Church
with pick as he was hanging up har-
ness in the stable and then shot Mrs.
Church through the head. He placed
the bodies under tarpaulin where they
lay for two days before he got chance
to bury them, which he did by piling
them both together in one grave doing
it 80 nicely that it could not be discover
ed. He has remained at the Church
ranch ever since until arrested on sus.

the place of which he had bill of sale
to the ranch. 1t is not known whether
this bill Of sale is genuine or a forgery

Church's signature say it is genuine.

Cutting ARRAY at aermosa.

Sheriff Lewis received telegram Tues
day stating that in an alteration which
occurred at Hermosa on the 2lst be-
tween Mr.. F. Masingale and c. Reynolds
that the latter was badly cut with a
knife in the hands of said Masingale. 1t
is reported that the wounded man re-
ceived number Of stabs, one at the back
of the neck and one just below the heart.
The latter is considered dangerous but
not necessarily fatal. The wounds were
dressed and sewed by some one unskilled
and DR.. Ratte, who was called was COM
PEELED to do it all over again. The par
ties are under arrest but have not been
brought to Custer which makes us think
that the wounds arc not considered very
dangerous,

SCHOOL Notes.

The Commencement exercises will be
given in the Opera House, Saturday
evening, May 23d, 1908. The graduates
are working very hard to make this
event success and hope that those who
are interested in school work will attend
and enjoy the program. We will real
ize what it means to 60 "out of school
life into life's school," and though We
may meet with many difficulties in the
path Of life, We will not turn to the
right hand nor to the left, bat looking
straight ahead We will finally conquer
the goal for which We haye so long con-
tended.
The ninth grade Latin pupils are do
ing remarkably well of late and if they
keep mp the good work great many Of
them will be able to read Caesar next
year.
The ninth grade literature class has
finished the study of Thanatopsis and
las now taken up Shakespeare's Mer-
Chant of Venice. We find a great diff
ference in this and the poems We haye
been studying. 1t requires hard think
ing and close application to get the
meaning of some of Bassonio's and
Antonio's speeches.
We all of US admit that most of rs
were not fit to enter the ninth grade at
the first of the year, and so all of the
eight months We have built backwards
strengthening our foundations, and at
the same time doing the work planned
for us in the course of study. This how
eyer was not accomplished without the
strenuous effort on the part of both the
professor and the pupils. Sometimes
the way has seemed steep and rugged,
and at times We would feign have re-
traced our steps; but ever before us
was the shining goal, promotion, and we
all feel stronger and better for this, the
hardest years work ever done by us.
The members of the Algebra class
have been puzzling over quadratic equs-
tions for the past few days, but now
that we understand the conditions,
things are moving much smoother.
Professor has given the English Comp.
osition class the privilege of choosing
their own subject for Monday. We ex-
pect some very rare exhibitions of tai
ent.
Mark Twain says that most Of US are
out Of balance and the book keeping
class is beginning to think there is more
truth than poetry in the saying.
We extend hearty invitation to all
to come and see what we are doing in

solved on lynching the prisoner. This
determination would no doubt have
been carried out had not the officers at
Newcastle performed some fine stategy
in stealing him away in the night and
giving the mob the slip. BY an all
night drive the officers, G. a. Benedict,
and A. N. Nichols, brought their prison
er to Custer where he was duly lodged
in Jail, and from which he will be taken
to some point in Wyoming for safe
keeping until his trial. 1t is said that
Mrs. Miller, the wife Of the sheriff at
Newcastle. DEVISED the plan to get the
prisoner away from the mob and assist
ed in carrying it out. 1t was a very
and adroit scheme for which all concern
ed deserve much praise.

The Roosevelt Reception.

We learn that there will be large
crowd from Deadwood and the towns of
the northern Hills to meet the Presi-
dent at Edgement today. The pessen-
ger agent Of the B. & M. in answer to a
communication will furnish all the cars
for the excursion to accommodate the
cities of Deadwood, Lead City, Spearfish,
Hill City aud Custer. According to the
announcement the train viii leave Dead
wood at o'clock on the morning of the
25th and arrive in Edgemont in time to
meet the Presidents train which is due
in Edgemont at Ills p. m. The fare
from Custer for the round trip will be
$240, which will place the privilege
within the reach of all. Congressman
Martin. who sin Hot Springs will meet
the Presidents party at Newcastle and
return to Edgemont. Senators Kittridge
and Gamble, and Congressman Burke
have been invited and will no doubt at
tend the reception.
There have been invitations sent to
the officials and to the people generally
of Wyoming and Nebraska, who have
signified their intention of joining in the
festivities of the reception. Speeches
will be made by the President and many
other men of prominence in the west.
1t is arranged so that people from all
along the line can 60 and return to their
homes the same day. The movement is
very popular and it is very probable that
the largest concourse of people that were
ever gathered together in South Dakota
will be found at Edgemont this afternoon.

That Car Load of Ore.

A report from the car load of ore ship
ped by Mr.. A. T. Feay to the Pneumatic
Cyanide Works at Denver has been re.
ceived. The ore was taken from the
Mayhower mine, four miles west from
Custer, and we copy from the report,
giving the result of the test on COM
mercial scale.
Denver, COL, April s, 1903.
To DR.. G. w. Watterson, Secy North.
western Mining Co.
Dear Sir The chemist has just hand
ed us the report of the test on your ore,
and we enclose herewith. 1880 lbs of
the ore was dry crushed to 20 m esh with
rolls. We found the ore to crush fairly
readily, but the particles are so sharp
that there is great deal of wear on the
shell of the rolls, and the repairs on
them in mill that was running steadily
would be quite an item of expense.
The crushed ore was then leached in
a cyanide solution, the strength Of hich
was of per cent, or 10 lbs to the ton.
This is our standard testing strength,
and the test determined that this
strength could be materially reduced on
your ore without interfering with its
efficiency, say to $40 of ID. The eva
nide consumption was only one pound
to the ton, costing 81 cents at present
New York prices. With the weaker So
luton and with steady running, this
consumption could be reduced to about
II cents per ton.
As informed by Mr.. Robbins we found
some acid in the ore, which had to be
neutralized by adding 4 pounds of lime
to the ton. costing about cents at Den
yer. The sample was carefully mixed
and several small samples were taken
for assay, and checks, to determine the
value of the ore, which was found to be
$l4 per ton in gold. Mr.. Robbins being
correct in his statement that there was
little or no silver in it.
The raw ore, without any roasting of
any kind, was subjected to pneumatic
teaching for period of 80 hours, assays
of the tailings being made the end Of "a
hours, 48 hours, 70 hours and so hours,
to show the rapidity of the extraction.
In "a hours, $500 or 57.1 per cent had
bsen extracted in 48 hours, $3.50 or 20
per cent; in 70 hours, $1,000, or 85.7 per
cent; in 80 hours, $l2.2O, or S7.2 per ct ;
all of which showed that the ore yields
its values steadily, though little slowly
after the first "a hours up to 72 hours.
The extraction (using 80 mesh screen
instead Of a 20 mesh as per test should
be from 5 to per cent greater, and the
time shortened from 20 TO "a hours. The
cost of the chemicals would remain the
same.
Ifyour company has sufficient guam
tity of this ore to run mill steadily and
has good mill site with ample water
rights within easy distance of the mine,
you certainly have flattering prospect
for the future, for the ore is very nearly
an ideal cyaniding material.
Yours truly,
The Pneumatic Cyanide Process Co.
