A new invoice of Tower’s Fish Brand Pommel & Shield Brand Slickers just received at Smith & Fitch’s. Carperts and matting at a great reduction in price, and all kinds of furniture at the lowest living price at Fred Heideprim’s. Buffalo Gap visitors to Custer this week were Mrs. L. B. Reno, Mrs. Bond, Miss Johnston and Messrs. Boland, Brunschmidt and Street. Jack Hale’s sorrel mare Big Sis and a Spearfish horse named Rifleman have been matched for a 500 yard race to take place sometime in June. The Valentine Reporter of the 7th says track was laid 40 miles west of that place on that date and trains are being run over the completed road. H. G. Butterfield left this morning on a week’s visit to Deadwood and the Carbonate camp, on business connected with mining interest in the latter place. Ten acres of land in Rapid, owned by W. F. Steele, and fronting on St. Joseph Street have been selected as the side for the school of mines building. The location is east of the courthouse. Prof. Charlton of Deadwood A roller-skating exhibition in the Crook Street hall last Monday evening that was largely attended. An impromptu band furnished the music and considerable amusement. At a meeting of the board of directors of the school of mines in Rapid last week, John W. Nowlin was instructed to act as attorney for the board and Myron Wilsie was appointed superintendent of construction. Albert Bernard, who will be remembered by our Custer readers as the gentleman who bought furs and hides for Sol Bloom of Deadwood, committed suicide near Sturgis by shooting himself in the head, on last Sunday morning. Mr. Wood, of Cheyenne, cattle inspector for this district to succeed Tom Webster, who has resigned, arrived Thursday afternoon and immediately entered upon his duties. Tom Webster will go in with Flynn on his Chadron venture. The Rapid City Journal objects to the Spearfish Register using the name of Denver for the latter place and says the name belongs to Rapid City. Bro. Gossage should change the date line of his Journal and have it read, Rapid City-Gate way-Denver, Black Hills, Dakota, United States of America or any other place. In Philadelphia recently at a coroner’s inquest over the body of a child, the jury returned a verdict that death was caused by the administration of a patent cough syrup, containing morphine. Dr. Sam'l K. Cox, of Washington, states that not one cough medicine in ten is free from this objection. After careful analysis and practical tests, he endorses Red Star Cough Cure as being purely vegetable, absolutely free from opiates, poisons, and narcotics. He regards it as a most happy and valuable discovery. JOB. KUBLER. A Bad Death. Chadron. Messrs. Burton and Flynn returned from a trip to Chadron last Tuesday, badly sunburnt—of course Old Sol is always to blame—and badly bespattered with White River bogum or gumbo, the former firmly convinced that Custer is a paradise even with a scarcity of the root of all evil and that Chadron is hell with or without it, or to use Burton’s own expression: “I would rather be broke in Custer than to make money in Chadron.” While we have quietly watched the growth of Chadron, the reputation of which has drawn businessmen from every camp in the Hills and the states like some prospectors story of buried riches in some unknown mountainous region will draw the ever-ready miner, and have listened to the predictions made for and against the future of that place, Burton’s emphatic assertion “sort of braces us up” and makes the belief an established fact that Nebraska has no town outside of Omaha that will be a marker to Custer, Peadwood, Burghis, Spearfish or Lead City, after business seeks its level, as it is bound to do as soon as the mushroom growth consequent on the advent of a railroad into any new country, has had its day, and it’ll be a short one. A correspondent of the Journal writing from Lookout has the following to say of the placer diggings on Castle Creek, which will probably interest some of our home readers: "The first job of any importance is that owned by Chester Martin and William Green. It is known as the Dutch Henry bar, and is located about two miles below Lookout. The boys have struck the pay dirt and are taking out good wages. Chipman is not working his upper bar, but Green and Chipman will put a force of men on the lower one which will pay well this summer. Frank Gray and Tom Minish are taking out some gold on the Dick Kennedy bar. Joe Bell and Capt. Pierce on their bar at Sitting Bull are making good wages. William Hamilton has got the richest bar on the creek. His digging will pay $20 a day to the man. I have a clean-up the other night for one day’s run with two men and I think there was about $100, but understand the dirt was taken out during the winter and laid on the dump close by the sluice boxes so all they had to do was to shovel it in. They had no wheeling or anything of that kind to do. I don’t think that a bar on the creek from Lookout down as far as Canyon City that will pay anywhere near wages will be idle this season." Times, 12: The reported rich discovery one and a half miles from the Carbonate camp, as mentioned in Saturday’s Times, proves to be a number of small pieces of ore found on a claim which, upon crude assaying, shows up sulphate of silver to an extent which caused the excitement, as reported, one small piece giving an assay of $3 to the pound. On an account of the inclement weather but little has been done in the attempt to discover larger quantities. Nothing definite can at present be stated except as above, and that, naturally, it is to be expected that similar ore is in close proximity to the ore discovered, and possibly an ore body which will make the find one of the richest that has been struck in the west. The old theory of the slow process of the formation of coal, and the immense pressure, which has given some of our scientists such a magnificent opportunity for the exercise of their mathematical skill, has received a death blow from some singular facts published in the Shenandoah Herald, in which is an account of the formation of anthracite coal from apparently pure spring water, in a pipe used for draining the Indian Ridge shaft of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company. It appears that this coal forms in about four months, by exposure to the air, thus scattering to the winds all the geological theories that coal takes thousands of years and heavy pressure to form it. The Journal says of the Standby mine and mill, that arrangements have been concluded between all parties interested looking toward the resumption of operations. For the purpose of operating a company has been formed with a Mr. North, of Boston, as president, and M. V. Brigham is superintendent. We have not yet learned the names of the other officers elected. Mr. North expresses willingness to put up money for expenses incidental to resuming operations, and it is considered almost certain that Mr. Brigham will shortly take charge. For the good of Rochester district and the whole Hills country it is to be hoped the operations may be made successful. Methodist Church—There will be services on Sabbath as follows: Preaching, morning at 11 a.m. Evening at 7:30 p.m. Sabbath school at 10 a.m. Class meeting at the close of the morning service. A cordial invitation is extended to all persons to attend any or all of these services. By Mrs. Dickover, a pair of gold mounted glasses, on last Sunday between the M. E. church and the residence of the above on Custer avenue. The finder will please leave them at the latter place. Lost LOTATION BLANK should be a part of every prospector's outfit. For sale at this office. Our old friend L. E. Cavillier with other parties have started an evening paper called the Telegraph, in Yankton, the former capital of Dakota. If there is any town in Dakota where a good live daily can do more good than at Yankton, we have failed to see the place and if Louie has a chance he’ll give the people that. E. H. Flynn will move his saloon fixtures to Chadron and open up there as soon as a building 20x30, the erection of which he contracted for during his late visit, is finished, probably by the first of June. Ed's saloon outfit is as fine as will be found in many a day’s travel and combined with his rustling qualities will undoubtedly secure for him his share of about the only line of business that will not be overdone in Chadron, and we wish him the utmost success in his new venture.
