James Cochran dropped in on his Gus.
ter friends last Saturday, looking hale
and hearty. Many Of our local readers
will remember him as having been in
the grocery and hardware business in
this city several years ago. For the past
ten years or so he has been mining near
Rockford and has prospered. Every
summer for the past several years he
has operated small Huntington mill
during the summer months, and cleaned
up good money for his seasons work.
At present he is engaged in developing
and opening up what is believed to be
one of the biggest ore bodies in the cen.
tral Hills. He already has two large
bodies of free milling and cyaniding ore
which averages better than SIS per ton.

Preparations are being made for an

this fall will be an opportune time to
start the association. We are with the
project, heart and soul, and believe that
it can be made of much benefit to the
farmers and ranchers in the two coun-

Home From the Coast.

Henry Monheim returned from long
swing over the Pacific coast country
Sunday last. Will Monheim, his nep-
hew, accompanied him on the trip.
Their first stop out of Custer was Den
yer, then Colorado Springs, Grand juno
ton and Salt Lake City. He was very
much impressed with Denver and Grand
Junction, which towns show bright
front and a growing future. Salt Lake
is unique city with her long city blocks
that are seemingly a mile long for tired
feet. From there they went to Los
Angeles, which struck him as bright,
busting city with ner many suburban
attractions. Their next stop was San
Diego, where short but delightful visit
was had with Mrs. P. Lynch and Miss
sarah Walsh, sisters of Mrs. Monheim
and Mrs. L. V. Garlock. From there
they went to Redlands, where short
stay was made with Mr.. and Mrs JAS.
Z. and Ed. Walsh. A day was spent in
San Francisco, and the Goth century
wonder viewed with awe and admira-
tion. Mr.. Monheim says it is certainly
a marvel the way the city is being re-
built, but the noise, dust, dirt and con-
fusion was too much for northern man.
Stops were made at Portland and Seattle,
both of which cities are astounding the
world with their improvements and ra.

the Northern Pacific by way of Billings.
Both were very favorably impressed
with some of the country over which
they travelled, especially the states of
Washington and Oregon, and Custer
may some day lose Mr.. Monheim and
his estimable family, but he assures us
that it will not be in the near future, as
bis interests here are satisfactory.
