Crouch Line Reorganized.

Reports from Rapid City state that the
people are much pleased over the or.
ganization of the Western Wyoming
Railway company, which has just been
accomplished at Pierre by c. d. Crouch
and associates. This means an extern
sion of the standard guage Crouch line
from Mystic, the present terminus of the
Crouch road, nearly across the state of
Wyoming to Buffalo. The Crouch road
was completed last summer, being over
thirty miles long from this city to Mys-
tic, the station on the Burlington road.
The new line will penetrate the greatest
coal and oil beds in the west. The dis
trict has been looked upon with envious
eyes by other railroad companies for
years. Recently a party of Pennsyl-
vania and Black Hills capitalists engag-
ed Prof. j. L. Todd, former state geolo-
glst of South Dakota, to make a thorough
report on the large area of this coal land
located near the proposed Crouch ex-
tension. Prof Todd found lodges of
coal of quality equal to the famous
Sheridan coal, in very large quantities,
some of the lodges being six to ten
feet in thick ness. This coal could be
mined and shipped to Eastern South
Dakota points and enter into close com.
petition with coal from Illinois and
Iowa The Hills people burn the Wy.
oming coal almost exclusively, and there
has never been any shortage of coal in
the winter
The extension of this Crouch line
means much for the eastern part of this
state. Recently the government has
given an exceedingly low price to the
public on the bug infested pine timber
of the Black Hills range. A good many
large saw mills have come into the dis
triCt and are cutting up this timber into
railway ties and lumber. This lumber
can be shipped across the reservation to
the Dakotas, and the supply for years
to come will be unlimited, for it seems
almost impossible to stop the ravages of
the pine beetle. There are also numer-
GUS oil wells along this Crouch extern
sion which furnish an unexcelled quan.
tity of lubricating oils. The road has
close connections with the Burlington,
Northwestern and Milwaukee railway
companies, especially the latter two,
which will soon have their reservation
roads completed. The carrying of coal
and lumber by the Northwestern and
Milwaukee companies will enter largely
into the freight traffic of these two com.
panies for eastern points across the res
ervation roads.

date of July 10th, has announced that
within ten days the Burlington would
put in operation two cent fare sche.

basis of all rates between those states.
July Goth the rates will be reduced
for interstate trips between Wisconsin

points to basis of p cents per mile and
two cents in other states, and as soon as
possible the western roads will change
their interstate rates to and from Ne

GOLD PRODUCTION.

According to current report, Director
of the Mint George E. Roberts in an in
terview, states that he considers Nevada
likely to show greater increases in gold
production the next few years than any
other region of the world.
He figures the Nevada production this
year will amount to Sl5,000,0O0, or at
least one half again more than last year.
"Our report on the production of gold
for the United States in 1906, which is
now being compiled" he said, "but will
not be out for.six months, will show a
production for Nevada of approximately
$l0,000,000, as against $3.50, 100 the pre-.
vious year.
"But last years figures do not do JUS
tice to present production, which is at a
rate at least one half greater. | feel
confident that Nevada in 1907 will pro.
duce at least $l5,000,000 in gold and will
rank close to Alaska, Colorado and Cali
fornia in gold output.
"The gold production of the United
States in 1906 was about $96,000,000, as
against SsS,l80,700 in 1905. l believe
that in 1907, thanks chiefly to the in
crease in Nevada, the production will
be above Sl00000000. Such gains in
gold production are the financial saliva,
ton of this country. Had it not been
for the enormous increase in our gold
supply, enabling large safe expansion
of credits, we would have had serious
business reaction long ago."-Ores and
Metals.

Land Last Rail.

The Rapid City Journal of the 10th
says: Report had it last evening that
the last spike In the link connecting the
two divisions of the Northwestern line
between Pierre and Rapid City would
be driven today and number of the
officials of the road would come over
the line to this city on the afternoon

long looked for line across the reserva-
tion is a thing of the present that this
is next years country no longer, but
it is "this year" There will be consid
erable work to be done on the line be-
fore real traffic can be carried on, but
it will not be long until the road will
be ready for all the business coming its
way. Three cheers for the Northwest

MORE ABOUT COMPLAINT
BY EASTERN INVESTORS.
DARRAu, Cal, July ], 1907.


EDITOR OF THE CHRONICLE:
DEAR SIR In the issue of June 22nd
| see in the CUSTER CHRoNICLE an article
called Complaint by Eastern Investors.
/ should like to say few words about
that same issue. In times gone by min
ing was speculation. Today it is a
business. Investors who are business
men will not put their money in a wild
cat scheme. The; will send out their
trusted experts, examine the prospect
thoroughly, make an estimate of the
average ore, consider the expenses of
mining same and if profitable margin
is left they will then pay for what is in
sight. That is mining business. ! will
admit that in no other business has so
much fraud been perpetrated, but it is
nearly time for people to have their eye
teeth cut? People who will condemn
the average miner are, in my opinion,
suckers who have been fieeced by some
unscrupulous middle man. They see
the glitter but forget that call is not
gold that gltters," They have golden
dreams of investing few dollars and
get thousands in return. And when
they fail then the poor, hard working
is blamed. Just think of it,
all of you boys who for years have toll.
ed and delved in the ground, sometimes
not knowing how to get sack of -four
or a slab of bacon. These so-called in
vestors are entirely ignorant of the suf-
fering of pioneer. They do not un-
derstand the hardships, the bitter dis.
appointments, the actual wants of
prospector. They live back east in their
luxurious mansions at ease.
Now, am not writing for sympathy,
but am up in arms when a prospectors
is assailed AS rule he is a
whole souled man, and | think he gives
the investor all possible show to make
money out of money. Repeatedly have
| seen good mining claims in the Black
Hills bonded for year or more without
a forfeit. The investor has ample
chances to try the merit of the claim.
So why come out and denounce the ives
tern mining men as liars? People who
use such terms are, in my estimation,
poor fools who do not know their own
business.

Thirty-six persons were killed and
1,l47 injured while celebrating Indepen-
dence Day, according to the Chicago
Record Herald, which made canvass
of the accidents in the entire United
States during the twenty four hours of
July 4. In Chicago six persons were
killed by revolvers which were suppos.
ed to be unloaded and with the deadly
giant firecrackers New York furnished
seven of the dead, while the remainder
of the list of fatalities are scattered over
the country. In the list injured many
were seriously hurt and a number will
undoubtedly die of their injuries. The
greatest number of injuries were caused
by the cannon fire cracker and this list
is made up in a great part of children
who did not understand how to handle
them.

A Pierre special says it has been the
custom in the past for the state board
of equalization to adjourn the July
meetings over to the first of August and
transact all its business of equalization
and assessment at one meeting. The
new assessment law of last winter re-
quires railway assessments to be made
in different manner than in the past
which will take much more time, and
the companies were called upon to have
their reports in the hands of the state
auditor by the 18th of July. They have
been coming to the auditor with state.

new law, the valuations placed upon
that class Of property will undoubtedly y
be higher than in past years.

The Good Work Continued.

Two more victories were added to
Clusters total for this season when the
ball team went to Hot Springs last week
for the celebration there. And both
were good games too, hard fought, of the
sort that any team is proud to win, and
none ashamed to lose. All parties con-
cerned deserve congratulations.
Our boys went down on the 3rd, a
goodly number of rooters accompanying
them, and played the first game that af-
ternoon about five o'clock, winning with
a score of to 5. Heidepriem and E.
Courtney and Garvey and Stewart were
the opposing batteries. The other Gus
ter players were as follows; Neel, lst
base; Royce, End base; Putnam, 3rd
base; Cottrell, short stop; Sager, left ;
w. Courtney, center, and Pitcher, right

being far between. Hedepriem pitch

Cottrell at short stop did some very
pretty work, double play, Putnam to

Complete details are still lacking
OF the latest incident in San Francis
co Chat has moved Japan to remind
the United States government of It's
treaty obligations to her subjects res.
idents in this country, but there ap.
pears to be strong probability that
the representatives of the mikado in
that city are far more sensitive and
impulsiye that the average foreign
consul general In American cities and
perhaps has exaggerated the affair
itself in his official report or magni-
fed the significance of it; 1t is even
more probable that. If our govern
ment had not taken up the school
exclusion incident in the California
capital and handled it as it did. no
complaint OF the treatment of the
Japanese there during the street car

from Toxic.

" beyond the occurrence OF one dis
turbance in Japanese retaurant and
another in Japanese bath house

property destroyed or injured: that
the assault was because of their nat

that this particular incident did not

papers either. is one of the very
strongest pieces of testimony posi-
bic tending to establish its unimpor-

a time of very general disorder and
