Mining Items.

Two shifts are now working on the
Saginaw mine sinking in the main shaft,
Good progress is being made.
The annual meeting Of the Lillian
Belle Gold Mining and Milling company
will be held in this city Tuesday, August
10th.
1t is reported that there is an excel.
lent prospect of resumption of work
at the Keystone and Holy Terror mine,
which have already been merged for
that purpose. The promoters are now
in the east and enlisted capital to that
end.
]. B. Gray, of Alliance, Neb., vice
president of the Alliance Mining COM
pany, was in town between trains on
Wednesday on business connected with
his company. The property of this com.
pany is situated near Mystic where de-
velopment work is now in progress.
At the annual meeting of the Black
Hills Water and Mining company, held
in this city on the Sth day of August,
1905, the following directors were elect.
ed for the ensuing year: Louis Hehman,
f. Y. Lang, Leo. g. Cloud, of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, and VIM. Nevin and I. V.
Garlock of Custer.
There we're nearly three thousand tons
more of metallic tin used than were
mined last year, says the Lead Call.
There were mined in the world approx
mately ninety-three thousand tons. The
United States used 40 per cent of all that
was mined in the world. The demand
is SC much greater than the supply that
the process of recovering the tin from
scrap is a profitable business. There
were produced in the United States less
than 200 tons.

Wreck on the Burlington.

The North bound passenger due in
Custer at 7:0S p. m. Tuesday evening
did not arrive until alb out 2;50 Wednes-
day morning. The delay was caused by
seven miles east of Crawford, where the
passenger and an east bound freight col
lided head.on. The particulars, as re-.
ported by the Lead Call, are as follows /:
1t seems that the east bound freight
when it arrived at Rutland with but a
few minutes to spare, took siding, and
found that it was too short to accommo-
date the entire train. The tr"iu was cut
in two and the engine pulled out onto
the main line with one of the sections
Just AS it had got onto the main line the
passenger train came swinging around
the curve, and although it was not run
ming at high rate IF speed the distance
between the two trains was so short that
they came together with a crash.
Riding on the passenger engine with
the fireman and engineer was the ira
yelling engineer of the Burlington sys-
tenn. When it was seen that the two
trains were bound to meet, he, with his
fireman jumped and escaped with few
bruises, but the engineer stuck by his
engine and did what he could to stop it,
The engineer Of the freight train and his
fireman also jumped and escaped injury.
The heavy passenger engine plowed for
a couple of feet into the locomotive Of
the freight train, and both machines
were badly wrecked, but the brave en-
gineer of the passenger train, although
surrounded with wrecksge of both en-
gines and envelopsd in escaping steam
escaped all injury although he stood his
post until he was sure that he had done
everything in his power to avert further
danger to life or property.
On the train was woman and her
three children, the oldest boy of II,
who were on their way to Portland,
Oregon, TO meet their husband and faith
er. This woman, who was not in very
good health was badly shaken up, as
were the rest of the people on the pas
senger train by the collision, and SO
greatly did the shock and fright affect
her that she died on the train at Edge
mont and will be sent back to her eas-
tern home, together with the children.
None of the other passengers were in
jured by the accident, although all OF
them were shaken up and very badly
| frightened.
Passengers on the train speak in the
highest terms of the heroism displayed
by the engineer of their train, and say
that had he jumped at the first appear
ance Of danger instead of using sand
throwing the engine into the reverse
motion and doing everything in mis- pow
er to stop its progress, there would have
been terrible accident to report. 1t is
not known who was responsible for the
| collision, but the trainmen were incln.
ed to place the blame in the Dispatcher
| Office

Only Cattle Having scabbies are Subject
TO Dipping.

W Dlpplub'
Judge Charles s. Whiting, ofthe Ninth
judicial circuit, has rendered decision
to the effect that only cattle having
scabbies are subject to dipping. The
case is the result of an effort on the part
of the county cattle inspector of Beadle
county to enforce the dipping OF cattle
whether diseased or not, the action be-
ing based on an order issued by the state
commissioners. A large number of farm
ers and cattle owners combined to test
the matter in the court and argument
Of motion for an order restraining the
inspector from carrying out his purpose
was had in Huron some time ago. Judge
Whiting sustains the contention of the
petitioners, and holds that only diseased
cattle, or those known TO have been ex-
posed to what is termed "scabbies," need
be dipped, and these only after a
thorough inspection. The state board
has no supervising power on the county
inspector, and therefore has no author
ity to make an order requiring the in
spector to dip cattle or have them dip
ped. The inspector, however, is given
full power to do all things necessary to
protect cattle in his county, but can only
require cattle to be dipped when he has
made an inspection and found them dis
eased. The opinion of the court is the
first given in case brought to test the
powers of the state board.

An Afternoon in Japan.

On Thursday afternoon, August third,
Mrs. S. n. Fitch, Mrs. Mark Willis and
Miss Rilla Mae Willis entertained large
number Of ladies at the home of Mrs.
Fitch in honor of Mrs. George Willis OF
New York, who has been visiting with
relatives in Custer for the past month.
The affair was truly japanese in every
particular and was one of the prettiest
and most enjoyable entertainments ever
given in Custer. The handsome spac-
ious parlors were decorated with fans,
screens, draperies, Japanese lanterns and
all things Oriental, while the soft light
of many lamps, the rooms having been
darkened for the OCCASION and the odor
of burning incense made the guests feel
as if they had been suddenly transport
cd into fair Japan itself The ladies
were all dressed in beautiful Japanese
costumes. but Mrs. NJ. j. Bailey created
much merriment and no little envy by
arriving at the party in Jinrikisha
drawn by real coolie. But with all
her magnifcence she could not quite at
tain to the popularity of little Miss
Dorothy Dunn who, in her dainty Kim
ona was unanimously voted the belle OF
the occasion. After the guests had all
arrived and were reclining comfortably
on the pillows, which of course were
used instead of chairs, they were invited
to enter into guessing contest which
created the greatest fun and merrinens.
Mrs. w. +. Hanley won the first prize,
an exquisite Japanese cup and saucer,
and Mrs. G. Pitcher was consoled for her
lack of knowledge of kitchen utensils by
tiny frying pan and spoon. After the
contest closed refreshments were served
the first course consisting Of huge bowls
of rice which the guests ate or tried to
eat with chop sticks. This was followed
by menu so elaborate and delicious
that the ladies felt quite repaid for their
Intellectual efforts to get some rice.
Grand March down Custer Avenue
led by His Highness. Ysm Sem kokio

occasion and the ladies bade farewell 10

So. Omaha Live stock Market.

Special letter from Clay, Robinson &
Co., Union Stock Yards South Omaha,
August 5th, 1905
Cattle Range cattle have formed a
fair share of the moderate receipts late
ly; in fact the supply is very fair for
this time of the year. The quality is
generally very good, and the feed has
been very good in almost all locality
Influenced by the modern run Of native
corn-fed cattle last week and stronger
tone 10 the trade, the western beef steers
sold quite readily at prices steady to
strong for the week. Prices are little
higher, butthe general feeling was con-
siderably strengthened. Good to choice
grass beeves are selling at 1915 a. S400 ;
fair to good So. 80 a. 1915, with the bet
ter kinds of hay-fed steers up to S4.40,
which is top today. The COW market
was generally a little stronger for the
entire week and prices fer anything at
all desirable little higher than week
ago. Good to choice cows and heifers
are selling at 1915 "a $500; fair to good
81. 40 "a S3.l5; Gamers Sl.75 a. 1925.
There was noticeable increase in the
demand for stockers and feeders and
prices are generally a quarter higher
than week to ten days ago. During
the week feeders sold as high as 1895,
and good kinds now can be quoted at
1915 "a $4O0; fair to good 50 50 "a S3.65 !;
Gamers 80. 10 and down. Quite a good
many buyers no doubt were attracted
by the considerably depressed prices,
which no doubt accounts for the increase
in the number of buyers for this class Of
stock.
Sheep Receipts of sheep and lambs
for last week were moderate enough to
make active trade, and all classes of
buyers seemed out for supplies. Trade
was active from start to finish and kill

day, while lambs were % 9 Soc higher
