CUSTER. -. u.
TnE POLITICAL SITUATION.


A Pierre dispatch under date of May
25th says With the Crawford forces
in full control Of the convention it
means practically clean slate, the only
exception being in the office Of the sec-
retary OF state in which d. u. Wipf ap
pears to have been shrewd enough 10
hold course between the factions sc
close that he was ready at any time to
steer into safe harbor, from whatever
direction might come the storm Every
other position, state and congressional
will be changed, and a new force in con
troll at the state building.
While all indications are that Wipf is
safe for the nomination, there are NUT
terings, now that the insurgents have
won so decisive victory that the place
should 20 to some Of their more ardent
supporters through the fight, and it Is
intimated in some sources, and has been
hinted in their papers that search was
being made in the northern part OF the
state for a candidate tor that place.
With Gamble for the senate III Nank-
ton; Hall for congress III Brookings;
Crawf ford for governor in Beadle, Cassill
for treasurer in Lincoln, and Ustrud for
superintendeut of instruction in Mime
haha, to add Wipf for secretary of state
in Hutchinson, would leave one con-
gressman, the auditor and land commits
sioner 20 90 to the rest Of the state out
side of the group of counties in the
southeastern section, and would be a
close "bunching" of the ticket.
The above named list OF nominees are
practically assured, and the question as
TO who will be selected for the other
places appears to yet be open The
Black Hills will be on hand with de-
mand for Il place on the ticket, prefer
ably a congressman, and may get that
position, and in that line there appears
20 be a rivalry between Lawrence and
Pennington counties with Parker from
the northern Hills, and Limerick from
the southern. lfthey can neither land
this position, they would, no doubt, take
one of the other places on the ticket
rather than 90 without

Worth Remembering.

There are three entirely different kinds
of ingredients used in making the three
different varieties of baking powders on
the market, viz:-(D Mineral-Acid or
Alum, (2) Bone-Acid or Phosphate, and
(3) Cream of Tartar made from grapes.
1t is important, from the standpoint of
health, to know something about these
Ingredients, and which kind is used in
your baking powder.
(D. Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is made
from kind of clay. This is mixed with
diluted oil Of vitriol and from this solu-
ton product is obtained which is alum.
Alum is cheap costs about two cents a
pound, and baking powder made with
this Mineral-Acid sells from 10 to Csc. a
pound.
(2). Bone-Acid, or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders and
the process is fully described in the pat
ents issued to large manufacturer of a
phosphate powder. The U. s. Patent
Office Report gives a full and exact des-
cription, but the following extract is
enough
Burned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil of vitriol
and with continual stirring and in the
following proportion, etc"
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
ing powders are made such powders
sell from 20 to 80 cents pound.
(3). Cream of Tartar exists in all ripe
grapes, and flows with the juice from
the press in the manufacture of wine.
After the wine is drawn off the tartar is
scraped from the cask, boiled with wa
ter, and crystals of Cream of Tartar,
white and very pure, separate and are
collected. 1t differs in no respect from
the form in which it originally existed
in the grape. Cream of Tartar, then,
while the most expensive, is the only
ingredient that should be used in bak-
ing powder to act upon the soda, as its
wholesomeness is beyond question,
| Cream of Tartar baking powders sell at
about 40 to 90 cents pound.
Such are the facts, and every one,
careful ofthe health ofthe family, should
remember this rule Baking powders
selling from 10 to % cents pound are
made of Mineral-Acids those selling
from 90 to 30 cents of Bone Acid ; and
those from 40 to so cents of Cream OF
Tartar made from grapes.

TIN Still Soaring.

Tin continues to attract marked atten-
ton. The price is daily going higher,
and its eventual level is hard TO predict
The latest quotation is 445c per pound
the highest in years. Such an unpre-
cedented price has naturally had its
effect upon the mining industry of the
white metal, while the prospects OF a
still higher market have caused the peo-
pie to sit up and take notice. Speaking
of activity in mining the Engineering
and Mining Journal in recent Issue
says: "At the antipodes, mining men
are fully alive to the enhanced value of
low grade tin deposits, as is manifested
by the extensive plans TO develop those
of Tasmania and elsewhere, in which
the great Mt Lyell company among
others ie participating
This paragraph is then closed with
the following advice: American capi-
talists should certainly turn their atten-
ton to South Dakota, Virginia and the
Caroinas"
All Of these sections are known to
contain large and valuable deposits of
tin bearing ore. The Black Hills in par.
ticular has veins that, were they worked
properly, could supply large portion of
the worlds supply of tin. Tbo Harney
Peak district of the southern Hills, and
Niger Hill, in Western Lawrence coun-
ty, are the principal tin producing areas
of the Black Hills.
In the past considerable work has
been done in both these sections
enough to prove the existence of i'm
nense lodes of tin ore. Today activity
is noticeable in Pennington county, at
Hill City, where the Gertie company is
operating a small testing plant, produc-
ing a limited amount of pig tin We
understand that the operations have
been so satisfactory that the company
has decided upon the erection of a mill
of large capacity.
There is, naturally, more or less dis
cussion of the probabilities of the Har-
ney Peak company resuming. No doubt
the present price of tin will open the
eyes of the contending factions of the
corporation to the value Of its property,
and while an immediate settlement of
the internal differences of years stand
ing may not be anticipated, the Review
would not be surprised to see some ac-
tivity at this company's mines
Tin, under the present condition OF
civilization, comes near being an ndis,
pensibe metal onp for which there is
no substitute. The corner which has
forced up the price is evidently close
one, and with the shortage in the supply
definite and pronounced with no pros
pect Of immediate relief through the in
creased production, it would be folly to
predict that the top has yet been reach
ed
The conditions being as they are, it is
worth while to emphasize the possibili-
ties which exist in the in deposits Of
the BLACK Hills. Our operators would do
well to exert themselves without delay.

The Mica Factory.

The last two weeks has seen quite an
accession to the list of employees in the
mica factory which at present numbers
about ninety five girls and boys who are
company's factory. Families have been
arriving from the country and surround
ing towns with children Of suitable age
to work on mica, still we are informed
there is room for all. The managers
state that there is no danger that there
will be too many applications as the
company are in need Of all the help they
can get. The Sager store building was
procured and fitted up this week in adj
diton to the Wood building, and should
these quarters be found too small to ac-
commodate all that come, the company
will fit up another building and fill it up
with willing workers as fast as they APP
porary use and will be vacated as soon
as the company has time TO erect their
factory when they will be able to em-
ploy as many as 500 girls and boys in the
preparation of mica
The inauguration of this industry in
our town has given rise to quite an add.
ed interest being taken in the mica
mines around Custer, and many are
flocking in from other camps to open old
mines and to prospect for new fields.
We wish them all the utmost success
and have no doubt that in time there
will be found good demand for all the
meritoyious mica mines that can be
shown up in the district,

THE IvANHoE.


THE IvANHoE.
According to President Rate, every
thing is moving along nicely at the Ivan
hoe, says the Black Hills Mining Re-
view. A thrty-foot ore body was re.
Gently encountered in the lower level Of
the shaft that is showing fair values on
the plates, and the company intends
drifting along it in search Of the ore
shoot. This vein crops out on the sur
face 200 feet south Of the shaft, and there
nineteen assays showed values from
81 90 to $20S00 per ton. These samples
included surface wash, dirt quartz, etc.
and covered the entire width of the
vein and $50 feet in length along the
course of the body. These results are
highly gratifying, and when the shoot is
developed in the shaft, the company will
lose no time in putting the pay stuff
through the mill
The mill is now supplied with water
for continuous operation, day and night.
A new pump has been Installed at a
spring some distance from the mine, and
pipe line carrying compressed air laid
to it. The mill will be operating two
shifts in few days. IL is now being
run during the day shift only on ore
from the vein mentioned above. The
east drift from the shaft is nearing the
largest and best veins of the property
the Detroit and Chilkoot ore bodies
and it is expected that they will be cut
within two weeks.

HAVANA, Nov. 1.-THE declaration last

GARFIELD TO CLEAN HOUSE.
EXPECTS TO KEEP UP MR.. HITCH-
COCKS GOOD WORN


WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-THE statement is
made on excellent authority that the ad-
vent OF James X. Garfield Of Ohio into the
Office of Secretary of the Interior will be
followed by a thorough overhauling Of
| business methods and personnel in the
various bureaus Of that Department. Secre-
tary Of the Interior Hitchcock made up
his mind to retire from the Cabinet some
time ago. Having got a good start in his
~tireless work Of pursuing and prosecuting
land grafters, he had determined upon a
reorganization OF his Department abou
the time the Keep commission undertook
its Investigation there by direction of the
President.
The Keep commission in it's report bear
ing upon the Interior Department informed
the President. among other things, that
the General Land ONCE is. and has been for
years. the worst mismansg ed bureau in
the Government service, that its system
Of transacting business was many years
behind the times, and that il should be re-
organized from top TO bottom, both in the
Office in Washington and in the field. While
the commission did not charge that Com
missioner W. A. Richards was directly re-
sponsihle for the condition of affairs in his
bureau, which represented the accumulated
growth incident to bad administration for
years, IL is understood that it intimated
that Commissioner Richards had been
derelict, In that ne had made no effort to
correct the mismana cement of land afairs,
palpably apparent to any one who had "A
knowledge of the affairs of the bureau.
The belief is expressed that a more alert
Administrative of the General Land ONCE
would have made impossible the frauds
perpetrated by the land grafters that Sec
rotary Hitchcock has been enga ged in rum

the Keep commission is understood to
have reported that COMMISSIONS Richards
was no more to blame for the laNity of bust
ness methods in the bureau than several Of
his predecr ssors. 10 is known. neverthe-
less, tina Commissioner Richards's resig-
nation was practically demanded and that
efforts made to save him by Senator War
rem of Wyoming were futile.
The Interior Department is one of the
ponderous branches of the Federal Govern
ment. II disburses hundreds of millions of
dollars a year, has an army of employees
and embraces some of the most important
bureaus in the public service. 1t il COM
posed of the Patent Office, the Pension
Office, the Land Office. the Indian Office,

cal Survey. All OF these bureaus will be
thoroughly reorganized by Mr.. Garfield
