The Rapid City Journal in a recent is
sue published quite an interesting letter
from Col. J. A. Clark (Big Hat, whom
we all know as a mining man of consid-
cradle note in the southern Hills. He
writes that since leaving the Hills he has
travelled in all the mining countries in
the United States and Alaska, and took
q wbirl in Goldfeld, where he has OPP
tions on some good ground. He says
there are two or three rich mines in
Nevada, and on the strength of these
they are trying to sell the whole state.
He thinks the prospects on grand av-
erage are better in the Black Hills and
that our large bodies of low grade ore
will grow and be yielding profit when
the mines of Nevada are worked out and
abandoned. Besides the Hills are
paradise compared with that country or
any other mining country that he has
seen, and there is some pleasure living
here while there is nothing in Nevada
but barren waste of sand and sage, and
were it not for the very few rich mines
there would be nothing to attract. But
in the Hills it is different and he is com
ing back to stay as soon as he can ar
range his affairs to do so, or words to
that effect MIR. Clark has still mining
interests in the southern Hills and is
trying to interest capital TO deyelope
them. We wish him success.

There was fire in Custer last Satur
day afternoon, which under circum-
stances which have hitherto existed
would probably swept away the south
ern portion of our town. But thanks to
the public spirit of our citizens we have
good and efficient system Of water
works in Custer now and our boys soon
put quietus on the frey element. The
fire started in shed belonging to the
section house property and as the wind
blew hurricane at the time, the flames
ragged furously for short space oftime.
We held the watch on the boys this
time and it done us good to see them
get down to their work. 1t was Just five
minutes from the time the alarm was
turned in until they had a good stream
playing on the fire and in two minutes
more the fire was out. Where all work
ed SO we'll il is useless to draw distinc-
tion but there is particular credit due
to Mr.. John w. Kollar, who drove swift
ly to the hose house and hitching on to
the hose cart behind his express wagon
he pulled it to the burning building mot
on the trot) on the keen jump. That's
the way to do it boys, a minute is some
times worth million dollars in case of
fire.
