Death Of Mr.. II. @. Butterfield.

Mr.. Ii. q. Butterfeld, who has been
very i'll for some months, died Friday
evening, July 9th, about 9:90 The fun
eral services were held at the home Sun.
day at II a. IN. and were largely attend.
ed by sympathetic friends.
Henry Gates Butterfeld was born in
Watertown, N. Y, December, 1881. He
was a resident of Omaha for many years
and WAS married to Eunice K. Senter
who survives him, with brother, B. w.
Butterfeld of Waukegan, Illinois, and a
sister, Miss +. S. Butterield Of the same
town.
Mr. Butterfield moved to the Black
Hills in 1879, and located in Custer,
where he has since resided. He be-
lieved enthusiasticall in the resources
of the southern Hills and labored inde-
fatigally for years to develop them, and
the tragedy, humanity speaking, of his
life is, that in the very dawn Of an era
Of prosperity for the southern Hills, he
was stricken with a mortal sickness and
died before the day, he longed for, fully
appeared.
The last eighteen months Of his life
were clouded by the serious illEess of bis
wife. His devotion, patience and sacri
fee during this ordeal surpasses words
and his one regret during his own illness
was that his strength had failed while
her need of him was still great.
During the past few weeks his forti.
tude and patience, under intense pain
his considerate thoughtfulness for his
attendants increased as his physical
powers waned-as his body wasted the
spiritual qualities grew. He made has
preparations for death with fortiude and
calmness and with reliance also upon
the love of the All Father, simply ex.
pressed in his selection of the funeral
hymn, Just as am, without enc plea.
thus passes from life into the next room
of the Fathers house, an old citizen, a
kind husband, considerate friend.
Great sympathy is felt for Mrs. Butter
field in her illness and bereavement.
Not death, not the mere passage into the
Great Unknown, is so much dreaded by
us all as the subsequentlonelines. Sep
araton is deaths keenest pang. As is
sometimes expressed, if loving ones could
clasp hands, close eyes, and cross to-
gether the dying would be relieved of Its
sadness, but God has ordered that zone
by one" we pass over into the Larger
Room" and Life's lesson is to learn to
say, mot my will but thine be done"

Raising Draft Horses.

One of the most profitable side lines
in which the general farmer may engage
is horse breeding, says an exchange. II
is business for which great majority
of the farmers already possess part Of
the equipment. The market price oI
horses has been steadily advancing for
more than ten years, but with no type
Of animal so remarkably as the drafl
horse. Today the supply is nowhere
near equal to the demand and there
seems to be no immediate source to sup.
ply it. Whence comes this demand and
is it artificial or healthy, liable to sud
den fuctuation or born of necessity
Those who know the situation fully will
answer that for many years to come the
demand for good draft horses will con.
tinue strong and prices will rule high.
No large supply can be suddenly put on
the market, for such supply does not
exist and it cannot be produced at short
notice.
This country is experiencing period
of commercial prosperity, the like OF
which has never been known. The rail.
roads can scarcely furnish cars to haul
the freight and horses are in great de-
mand for the increased amount ftruck.
ing, draying and transferring incident
to this enormous traffic Even the in
creasing use of motor trucks has no ap
preciable effect on the demand. Horses
must be had and the heavy draft horse
is the animal wanted. His market price
is fixed at high figure by this strong
certain demand which we see is not da,
to an inflated market condition, but hal
bad 9 steady growth.

Another New Industry for Custer.


The Francis boys came down from
Spearfsh on the 10th and will be IN Gus
ter for few days. Harry win meet
here Mr. b b. Bragg, the manager of
the General Chemical Co. of Chicago,
who will investigate the merits OF the
large body of pyrite ore owned by Mr.
Francis on Spring Greek. The intention
is to mine this ore and ship TO Chicago,
where the company have extensive
works manufacturing sulphuric acid
from sulphides, for which purpose this
ore is particularly adapted. We hope
the examination Of Mr.. Bragg will prove
favorable and that the proposition will
be found to admit Of working on . large
scale and leave good margin OF profit.
The mine is situated on Spring creek
west of the old telegraph road to Dead
wood, and about twelve miles north Of
Custer
Mr. Frarcs informs us that he lacks
about two weeks of finishing his con-
tract on the big ditch north OF Speartish
when he will move down to his pyrite
mine and commence taking out ore. We
are not familiar with the cost of manu

know that the material is abundant and
the facilities for mining the material is
excellent. There has been good deal
of development work done on the prop

equipped enterprise Of the kind pro.
posed, and we know Of no good reason
why success should not crown the un'
dertaking.

Mining Items.

We are told that the little Tremain
mill which has been running quite
steadily on tin ore in Frank Hebert's
mine at Oreville is closed down for the
present. This is not from lack of ore
In the mine, nor for lack Of casiterte in
the ore, but for the very good reason
they are installing a rock crusher, some
thing they can't get along very well
without
The Clara Belle shaft is down 1870 feet
and the ten stamp mill is running stead
lily with two twelve hour shifts, while
three shifts Of eight hours each are EN-
ployed in the mine. Besides this they
have a saw mill which is being kept
going steadily, providing lumber for
buildings and timbers for the shaft. Ii
looks like the manager of the Clara Belle
meant business.
Manager L. p. Woodbury. of the Sagi.
nav mine, who is now in Custer, says
that the new pump recently installed in
the mine is taking care Of all the water
that comes into the shaft and that every
thing is progressing smoothly. Having
passed through % feet of good ore in the
shaft they are now drifting to strike and
cut the three veins that lay to the west
of them and test their merits. While
one gang of men is running the crosscut
another gang is sinking the shaft which
should soon strike the rich ore found by
the diamond drill at the depth of SOC
feet. We understand party of leading
stock holders of the mine will arrive in
Custer some time next week to examine
the property and decide upon the char,
acter OF mill to erect and where they
will put it.

 The violent decline in securities is no criterion of busness conditions. Railway earnings have continued to surpass those of the corresponding pe- riod In any previous year. the gain for April being 3. 8 per cent over the same measurement make equally gratifying exhibits. Liabilities of failures last
 month showed a decrease over 40 per cent in manufacturing and 12 per cent in trading branches of business as com pared with the previous years. The only drawbacks regarding the future are the labor controversies and the -stringency in the money market neith- ! CT of which may prove of more than Temporary duration.

New York, May 4.-BradstTeet's will say: Reports of active retail and job precedentedA building operations and really excellent crops furnish sharp contrast to the weakness of the coun- try's central market for securities.
 This latter reflects liquidation due to past excesses by a comparatively small number of operators not appar- ently as in some past years. generally tinued favorable weather has allowed good progress in planting and the examination of crops, the enlargement of country retail trade, improved re- orders for summer goods and the plac- ing with confidence of volume of faR orders fully equal to a year ago.

 Easier money for legitimate business needs is likewise foreshadowed. Rail- way earnings are large and clearings still make records for this season of the year.
