Mining Items.

A car load Of mica was shipped from

to Valparaiso, Indiana, and as Mr.. Hen
ault informs us another car Toad is about
ready and will be forwarded in q few
days to the same destination.
President Cook and Manager Sinclair
are expected in Custer in a short time
when work will be resumed on the Le-
Roy mine. All of which we are pleased
to hear, and would be still better pleased
to sec some Of that high grade stuff com
ing out of the ground. We do not like
the idea of allowing our gold to slum,

places along the veins, have demonstrat

At meeting of Gen. Steele G. A. R

day evening, committee was appointed
to make arrangements for the celebra-
ton of"Memorial Day." DR.. G. B. Clark
pastor Of the first NJ. +. church of Dead

memorial address at the opera house.
The committee have engaged the Custer
Brass Band and Glee Club for the occa-

Obituary.

/ SplLubIys
George Clarin Dickinson was born
March 9th, 1865, near Benton Harbor
Mich, and died May 10th, 1908, at Gus.
ter, S D., being 3S years OF age. His
early education was obtained in the dis
trict school and in the Business College
at Valparaiso, Indiana, after which he
was employed by the Graham and Nor.
ton Transportation Company Of Benton
Harbor as clerk for about two years.
About this time the death of his father
made it necessary for him to return
home and manage the fruit farm for a
year. He afterward began the study OF
law and while so engaged at the Albany
Law School was called to accept q posi-
tion in the First National Bank Of Ben
ton Harbor. At the other times he has
been stockholder in the Farmers and
Merchants Bank and also in the Colby
Hinkley Baske factory of the same place
and made quite business of loaning
money for other parties. He was al
ways hard worker and it was while
doing his own work and extra work in
the bank for those beside him that his
health became undermined, neccesitat-
ing change of location. After search
ing in vain for relief in various parts OF
the country he finally came to Custer
where he has lived for the past 3 years.
He was united in marriage October "a,
1894, to Miss Mary Belle Hinkley Of Ben
ton Harbor, who was faithful and de
voted companion until his death. He
was loving husband, son and brother
and always interested in the welfare OF
his relatives and friends.
He was charter member of Puritan
Lodge No. III, X. p, of Benton Harbor
and has always kept UP his membership,
showing much interest in his Pythian
connections and it was by the earnest
solicitation of the members of his home
lodge by whom he was held in high es.
TEEN that he had retained membership
there instead oftransferring to any other
lodge. Although not holding a mem.
bership with any chifch he loved and
respected the Christian life and had al
ways contributed to Christian organiza-
tions. His social and loving disposition
combined with honesty made him a
friend Of all and an enemy OF none.
DR.. s. B. Dickinson of Watertown, S.
D., a brotEst 5f the deceased, together
with his mother, and Mr.. NJ. Hinkley, q
brother of Mrs. Dickinson, were present
at the funeral services, which were con-
Quoted in the home May l3, at 10 a. M,

church, in the presence of many kind
neighbors and sympathizing friends.
After which the X. p. lodge took charge
and laid the body to rest in Custer ceme-
terry beside the grave of his infant daugh-
ter, Dorothy, who proceeded him to the
better land only two months since. The
sorrow is indeed great for Mrs. Dickin-
son. May the God Of all grace comfort
her, and all the bereaved home folks.
Mrs. Dickinson has, we are sure, the
sympathy Of the entire community.

control Of the market is at present In few
hands.


Mica Is at present used for a good
many PURPOSES, suck as window lights
for stoves, for wall paper, for safe pack
ing, for lubricating heavy machinery,
for grinding in paint, etc. But by far
the largest use to which it is at present
applied is for electric purposes, as an in
sulator between wires, for which pur-
pose the demand is constantly increas-
ing.
HISTORY
The discovery and location of the
Crown mica was first made by Mr.. Geo.
Clark in 1881 and was transferred dur
ing the same year to ii. g. McMaken,
Thomas Height and j. V. Offenbacker
and was known as the McMaken mica
mine. During the few years it was own
ed and worked by these parties it yield
cd about 100000 pounds of cut stove mica
which sold at an average price Of 81 per
pound. Mr.. Mat DAILY acquired the
property in 1890, and afterwards leased
it to Mr.. Majors of st. Louis, who took
out about car load of mica. The mine
was again leased to Mr. s. A. Baxter Of
Lima, Ohio, who took out about eight
tons of mica in 1897. In 1900 the mine
was purchased by the Chicago Mica
company and Mr.. F. G. N. Grayton wab
placed in charge of the work until April,
1902, during which time about 20 car
loads Of mica was mined and shipped to
Valparaiso, Ind. Recently a new Or
ganization was formed and charter
procured under the name of the Crown
mining company, incorporating with a
capitalization of 100000 dollars.
From all Of the foregoing it may be in
ferred that the writer Of this report was
very favorably impressed with the prop
erty, which is all tide. consider it
the paragon of all mica mines, and as a
safe, pleasant and profitable business I
know Of none more attractive as an in
vestment, or one in which as a money
maker would sooner recommend to a
friend. regard the proposition as emil
nently safe and very profitable, and as
such / give 1t my sincere and unqualified
endorsement.
Respectfully submitted,

How Water Freezes.

1t used to puzzle all thinking people
why ponds and rivers do not freeze
beyond certain depth. This depends
on n most curious fact-that water is
at It's heaviest when II reaches forty
degrees Fahrenheit. that is eight de.
grees above freezing point. On a
frosty night. as each top layer OF
water falls to forty degrees II sinks
to the bottom; therefore, the whole
pond has to drop to forty degrees be.
fore any Of II can freeze. At last II
is all cooled TO this point and then ice
begins TO form. but ice Is a very bad
conductor of heat, therefore II shuts
of the freezing air from the big body
Of comparatively warm water under
meath. The thicker 1t gets the more
perfectly docs II act as great coat
and that is why even the Arctic ocean
never freezes beyond few feet in
thickness.
