Married at Four Mile.

On Saturday evening last at the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. John Bostrom at -Four
Mile, occurred the marriage of their
daughter, Miss Ida Bostrom to Mr.. Wal
ter w. Fink, the ceremony taking place
at 6:l5 in the presence Of large num-
Der Of friends, gathered to celebrate the
occasion. As the bride and groom, ac-
companied by two other couples, filed
into the parlor, which was beautifully
decorated for the occasion, a friend
played the wedding march. Rev Il.
Iitmsrsh of this city pronounced the
words that made the happy pair one.
After congratulations by the many
friends, all retired to another part of the
premises, where bounteous supper was
prepared in true Swedish fashion, Oh
my how good that supper was, when
over 60 people sat down and did ample
justice to the good things provided.
The bride received many tokens of
good wishes from her numerous friends,
presents, many and varied, were piled
high on the table. Some of the friends
had to leave early in the evening but
strains of music were heard, for what
purpose, well, one can soon guess, and
as we are told it was kept up to rather
late hour, and when the crowd dispersed,
it was the general verdict that all had
had good time.

Three RallrOAds.

Residents of the northern and wes-
tern parts of the state confidently be-
lieve that two and possibly three rail-
road systems will cross the Missouri
river and enter the western part Of the
state, says an Aberdeen dispatch of re,
cent date. The Great Northern will
commence ironing the grade from Aber-
deem to Pierre in the spring, and it is
weather forces an abandonment of work
for the winter. In view Of the practical
certainty OF the passage of the Martin
bill enlargng the homesteads west oi
the Missouri river it is thought one pur
pose of the Hill road in building to the
capital city is to place itself in position
to profit by the building up OF the coun
try west of the Missouri when the bi.
passes, its ultimate destination being
the Black Hills.
The Northwestern will build fine
station at Pierre, and is figuring or
Aberdeen improvements and the ex'
tension westward from Pierre with the
coming season is regarded as certain

A Credit to the District

The Black Hills Mining Review OF
Deadwood, S. d., has recently appeared
in a new and distinctly improved form.
The pages are now clear cut and bril-
liant, while the general appearance is
second to no magazine of equal size.
This is due to the installation of com.
pletely new printing plant, which is the
newest and best in the Black Hills.
The size of the magazine has also been
increased from twenty to twenty-four
pages. Aside from mere appearance,
the contents of the present number are
distinctly interesting, especially to those
interested in this great district A large
double number is promised for the near
future, and it is to contain resume for
1904 of Black Hills mining. We heart
lily congratulate the publishers upon the
excellent appearance Of the magazine.

The taxing of mortgages amounting to
millions of dollars under the laws OF
South Dakota is dependent upon the
outcome of suit which is to be disposed
of during an adjourned term OF the state
circuit court. which is now in session in
Clay county. Last spring the county
commissioners Of that county, in ac-
cordanee with law enacted by the last
legislature. assessed mortgages to the
value OF S700,0 600. The holders of these
mortgages allege that the law under
which these assessments were made is
unconstitutional and void. They there
fore instituted an action against the
county commissioners. If, ~ the result
OF the suit, the law is declared constitu
tional mortgages will in future be as
sessed by the assessors Of practically
every county in South Dakota.

Letter From G. w. Robbins.

JOSEPH KUBLER, ESQ, Custer, S. D.


JOSEPH KUBLER, ESQ.,, Custer, S. d.
DEAR SIR:-I presume that the good
people Of Custer and my friends gener.
ally, begin to think it about time that I
reported to headquarters, and | think it
not improper that / should do so. I
have been absent from the Black Hills
about three months, and came down
with the avowed purpose of seeing the
fair, and making short visit with nv
people, who are among the Oldest resi-.
dents of the city. But beyond these.
and far more important to me, had an
! other object and that was to have some
experimental tests made on my ore.
Well, saw the folks and have had a
very enjoyable time socially. | visited
the fair nearly every day for month,
drank in its loveliness and absorbed
much knowledge from what there saw i.
1t is not my purpose in this short let
ter to describe the exhibition. It's
beauty, its magnitude and its bewilder-
ing variety must preclude any such an
attempt at this time. | will say, how
ever, in passing that South dakota need
not feel ashamed of its display, which
compared well with the best, and out
shone many that we're more costly and
pretentious. The Mining Mems associa-
ton, Mr.. Russell, the manager, Mr.
Joseph Pitcher, who arranged the ex-
hibit, and Mr.. Charles Pitcher, who re-
NAMED as permanent exhibitor, have
all performed their duty well and de.
serve much credit for their work.
Now, seem to sense the question you
would put to me. LIST, how do you get
along and manage to defray expenses :?
2nd, what are the results Of your tests 4?
3rd, when are you coming home? Well,
as TO the 6rst, | have not made any
money, and l have never been broke.
For the reason that have good friends,
and have acquired faculty of borrow
ing almost equal to the celebrated Mrs
Chadwick.
Next, the result of my tests are good,
very good. have not been disappoint-
ed. have my certificates to show what
| have got, and how to obtain it. This
knew before, but it is very embarras-
ing to know thing and not be able to
make anyone else know it. | am over
that, and this trip has been a glorious
opportunity to prove my statements cor.
rect. The coast is now clear, and | can
go ahead and do something for myself,
and something for that pretty little town
whose interests have been so dear to me.
| shall return to Custer just as soon as |
get things in shape so that can do more
good there than here. am not through
here yet When you have an ore that
is refractory, ard requires a special
treatment, il takes time to elaborate a
process, the best process for treating it
on commercial scale. This may take
several weeks yet, besides | have got to
spend some time in Chicago and posi-.
bly, trip TO Boston But / will take
occasion here to again avow my ale
glance to the Hills, and the good old
town Of Custer where 80 many of my
friends reside, and know are ready to
give me the glad hand when l return.

VIII Remove to Belle k,ourohe.

Last week w. T.. Benedict shipped
part of his law library to Belle Fourche
in which place he has rented offices.
This shipment is the initial step that
will finally result in the removal of Mr.,
Benedict and his family to Belle
Fourche. Mr.. Benedict has been engag-
ed in the active practice Of law in Gus
ter County for more than twelve years,
during which time he has steadily gain
ed an ever increasing confidence of the
people, in his integrity as a man and
ability as lawyer. His clientage has
been among the best and most sub
stantial men Of the southern Hills. His
work in court has been marked by a
great degree of success, and he is almost
constantly engaged in trying cases from
the opening of court to its close. AS
counsellor he, is rated as reliable and
conservative, preferring to keep his
clients out Of court, rather than plunge
them into litigation, resorting to law
suit when all other means of sentiment
have failed II is practice has been in
the state and Federal courts and before
the Interior Department, involving
nearly every phase of land Office prac-
tice.
He was one term states attorney for
Custer county, at time, too, when the
County was unfortunate enough to have
defaultng county treasurer, TO the tune
Of about 81 600, every dollar Of which
was recovered, principally through the
efforts of Mr. Benedict, though the re
coyery Of these moneys involved three
law suits, two of which were carried to
Supreme court Of the state. 1t is also
noteworthy, that during the two years
that Mr. Benedict was states attorney,
not a dollar was paid by the county for
the employment of additional counsel.
The CHRONICLE regrets that Mr., Bene-
dict has concluded that another field
is more attractive than this, and that
this conclusion will he followed within
few months by his departure from

building at Four Mile TO commence at 2
o'clock p. m. The object will be the or
ganization of company to construct a
telephone line from the southwestern

afford this most convenient luxury OF
modern times. Lines are already built
in the eastern part, Of the county and
the line from Buffalo Gap is being pro-
NOTED. When these lines are finished
almost the entire. county will be con-
