Ed. Davis came over from Keystone
on Sunday last and reports all going
we'll in that locality. Ed. is at work on
amblygonite and as he says another OBJ
scure mineral which may prove of some
importance. Ed. would not say what it
was but promised to report in due time.
Mr.. Herman Reinbold Ito whom Mr..
Davis reports) has been the discoverer
Of number of the rare minerals in this
district and what is more he has found
a market for them and the exploitation
has furnished employment to many of
our miners. Among these we mention
tin, tantalum, spodumene, tungsten,
uranium, ETC., and now something else.

Rain.

1t has rained almost daily for the last
two weeks and perhaps the end is not
yet, At times it has been very heavy
and floods and washouts are the order
of the day. We hear of floods in the
east, south and west and much destruc-
tion of life and property has been the
result. We in the Hills feel the incon-
venience of 1t all, but in comparison to
the damage it has brought in the lower
countries all around us, the Hills have
little reason to complain and we may
thank our lucky stars that it is as well
with us as it is. We even hear of trains
being stalled and cut off by food in in
exeessible places in Montana and five
hundred passengers undergoing starva-
tion because II has been impossible to
reach them with supplies. We hope
this condition of things has about come
to an end. 1t proves however the truth
of the old saying that the evil of most
everything lies in its excess. A reason
able amount of rain is always desirable
in every country but too much is too
much.

In conversation with one of our ranch
men few days ago We remarked upon
the excess of rain we we're having and
the unusual cold and backward spring.
Well, he says you forget that last spring
was more wet, colder and more back
ward than this. He said that on the 4th
of July his potatoes were just up and bis
oats we're not more than four inches
high. And yet, he added, my potatoes
were fine and my grain crop was never
better. The writer was not here at that
time and could not say, but it struck US
that ifthat was so, our farmers have no
need to worry about the backward
spring.

Mr.. Joe Layton and Vim. Nevin are
preparing to resume work on their high
bar placer mine on Four Mile creek
about two miles below the mouth of
Lightning creek. Joe says that the
main draw back to those diggings in Or
dinary seasons is the lack Of water so
that they can only be worked during
and after wet spell. The late copious
rains however he thinks will give them
an opportunity to work for month and
the bar is good for five or six dollars per
day to the man as long as the water lasts.
We wish them success.

/As result of the recent heavy rains
il is reported that the bridges between
Custer and Hermosa and Buffalo Gap
are all out below the mouth of Willow
creek. This is quite disastrous, as it not
only hinders travel but entails an ex-
pense Of about 100000 to the county.
IL would seem that We can not get
bridges high enough 80 that in times of
extra high water the drift wood and logs
will not strike them and carry them out.
1t strikes rs that it would be q good
plan to put in low bridges, weight them
down and let the water and drift wood
pass over them. They cost but little.

The Westinghouse Electric Manufac-

On the strength of their excellent show
ing to the readjustment committee their
time has been extended from June LIST
to June 22nd. This will give ample
time for the company to deposit securi-
ties and subscriptions TO the new stock
to satisfy all creditors. The company is
strong and their resources ample but the
panic came so suddenly upon them that
for awhile they were in distress. There
is way to put an end to these panics
and it should be acted upon.

In our mention Of the exercises on
Decoration day In our last issue, very
brief mention was made ofthe Memorial
address which was delivered by our es-
teemed Mayor Mr.. Ed. Grantham. We
wish to say BY way Of ofapology that there
was no intentional slight by SO brief q
notice, as IL the gentleman hads said
nothing worthy of note, for 1t was an
excellent and very able address. But it
sometimes happens that paper is
crowded for space and the editor has no
room to say what he desires or what the
subject deserves, and be can only give il
q brief mention and let il 60 at that.

LAST ACT OF
SlOCUM FARCE

WASHINGTON, D. c., May l.
The to be expected petition for the
pardon of Capt William Van
Schaick has been presented bear
ing 245,000 names. Van Schaick
was the commander Of the firetrap
steamer General Slocum in which
more than 1000 men, women and
children were sacrificed.
Government inspectors who were
responsible for the condition Of
the vessel were successfully shield
ed from blame, and in it's efforts to
save the wealthy owners the prose-
cution made a scapegoat of the
aged captain, who had simply act
ed under the owners orders. He
was sentenced to prison for 10
years. Marine men have since
been active in circulating the petit
ton.
The people destroyed on the Slo-
cum were mostly of the poorer
classes and the survivors were
even unable to make an appreciable
attempt to recover damages. The
men who owned the deathtrap are
still in business.

HOME BUILDING.
UNDATED
RECORD FOR LAST MONTH
SHOWS GREAT ACTIVITY IN
ERECTION OF RESIDENCES
IN THIS CITY.

April was a record breaker in
the line of building permits in this
city. A total of 344 permits issued
represented an aggregate value OF
$764,630. 1t is significant fact
that the nearest approach to this
is last April's record of 219 per-
mits, worth $554,3S0.
The figures show resumption OF
spring building in no wise affected
by the financial stringency of the
past winter. The increase over
last year amounts to one-third.
Another encouraging feature of
the new record is that 1t is male
up largely of permits for homes,
the majority of these being cot
tages. The value per residence
runs along in the neighborhood of
$500.
