Dead wood Gossip.
From our Special Correspondent.
Dead wood, Sept. 28, 1880.
Editor Chronicle. —Your paper in a
welcome weekly visitor, the people of
this camp, 1 am sure from what I hear,
wish you success in your enterprise.
The people of ('lister City and county
should look to it that your patronage he
liberal, for the Chronicle is an institu
tion that should be encouraged by all
classes.
Times in Dead wood and vicinity are
lively. One year ago to-day this city
was destroyed by the terrible lire-liend.
To-day she is one «>f the finest and most
prosperous cities in the western country;
here you find as elegant finished build
dings, outside and inside, as in the older
cities of the east. Our business men in
Dead wood are as chock full of vim and
vinegar as in any other city, east or
west; and why? Because trade is good
and money plenty. Some of the smart
alecks say that 'tw ill not always be thus,
but they are simply ofTtheir base. This
little big city of Dead wood started out a
winner, and she w ill he a winner at the
end of every deal, you bet.
Of course you know tiie result of the
republican county convention. Your
humble Faber shover is now, and always
has been a republican, but thick some
of the timber on the county ticket is
bad, got worms, had ’em a longtime,
and will take something a heap stronger
than copera* and Doc. Myers' pills to
work ’em off.
There is some talk of an independent
ticket. A good one might win.
Shouldn’t wonder. Nothing like oppo
sition. you know. lam thinking some
o 1 getting up a city ticket. Ed. Wardncr
would make a good mayor, but he has
one thing lacking, and that is—belly
cause; too much raiding after retiring
to his virtuous couch. Will have to
change the sex ami take Miss J
She has plenty. < ashicr Thum would
Mutkt* a good looking r'denuan, hut as
he will .soon lead to the* al ar one of
Dead wood's fairest Lei !ea, Iw. will have
to be excused, and Phaity Madden will
lie next choice, ilave’nt got the bal
ance (..( the ticket picket out yet.
The Adams excitement has quieted
«lo\\ n considerable. Dick has furnished
rooms at Johnny Manning’s hoarding
house, and they sav is quite comfortably
every day from the < lty < roelv ttlanVtfth
and i* quite attentive. Mrs. A. \isits
“lucky boy” quite often in his confine
ment as any good wife should. Dick’s
enemies are not so biiter against him
now that lie is in hock, lie expects
some relief from the supreme court, hut
I very much doubt if he gets it. It is
thought Adams will serve the territory
at Detroit about three years and that
the fine will he remmitted.
The first annual fair of Lawrence
county was a success, financially and
otherwise. lam glad ot it and so are
all the winners.
The Caledonia company won their
la.st cum* in coin t, but since have lost
the use ol' water from the llomestakc
company. The Horuestake company j
have the bulge on the water business, |
now, but I think ’twill not always be j
0 j
thus. There is water enough running
to waste from the Ilomcstake ditch at
lead to run several Caledonia mills, but
they say they are short of the fluid,
which is all bosh, of course. It’s a
freeze-out game as an j body with two
eyes can see. Sam McMasters has been
heard to sav more than once that he
would cut the belly out of this mine and
that mine, if the owners would not
dance to his music. If the jury in the
Erankenburg murder case had not been
bought up, body and soul, more than
one high daddy would have been cut
ting stone or making rustic chairs in
Detroit at the present time. Of course
the llomestake company is a big thing
for this country, but some of the doings
of some of the member of that company
arc a bloody curse all the same.
The Pioneer is back on Sherman street
again, and Al. is happy. The Times
will soon move into the Northwestern
building, on Main street, and of course
Porter’s mustache will soon be long
enough to tie around his neck, a la
Malay Junke man. Charley Moody,
report sayctli, w ill buildeth him a nest,
which argureth something, by gosh,
Dick and Ming, are still on the wing,
figuring on the November derailing.
A certain landlady says that a knight
of the shooting stick, on one of the morn
ing papers, or some one else, must
marry her daughter ; that this thing of
having her daughter’s form pied, with
nary a husband, is getting too thin. The
old lady is more than half right, and
might as well put her foot down first as
last. More anon.
Cy Tba, who ha« been rained, we
might, nay, in the ininen of California,
Nevada, Montana, ami Utah, having
had an experience of over t wenty yearn,
t*avH that the Grand Junction is one of
the bent projecting niinea in the llilln,
with the name development, and will be
one of the I on«nn’s of Cuater county.

L. E! Cavalier, of the Deadwood
Dress, took a spin through the Bear
Lodge mountains, hut as soon as he
found out that the (iem had a new out
lit took the hack track.
The Deadwood Times of Oct. 5, pays:
‘ The Sunday mill started up on Sunday
last. Half of the stamps are running
on Sunday «*ro and half on Hoodoo ore.
We hear that a rich strike has been
made in the Hoodoo mine that makes
the owners laugh as they look at it.
The Central City Herald says; "Yes
terday’s dean-up at the Father DoS met
eighty-stamp mill, was the largest ever
sent out of Central City. The stamp* to
the number of twenty or twenty-five
have been hung up at different times
during the twenty-nine days run, on ac
count ofgreat lack of water. At about one
o’clock yesterday, through the courtesy
of Supt. Alexander, and acting Supt.
lamd, of the (iopher, we were shown the
two enormous gold bricks, worth in gold
coin, #III ,540. These were speedily load
ed into Tom Wheelers hack and taken
down to the bank. Croakers once in a
w hile start the story that the mines on
the gold belt No. 1 are not holding up
as they should. Such statements are
entirely without foundation and such
enemies of our mining camps and dis
trict should be promptly set down upon.
One clean-up like that of yesterday
should hush such talk forever.”

Six hundred hands in the stove works
of Bathbone, Sard A Co., have been
thrown out of employment by the
strike of 2'C moulders, at Albany, N. Y.
it appears that the president of the
moulders’ union is foreman in the works.
He was fined $5 for violation of the
rules of the union, which he refused to
pay. The men then demanded his dis
charge, which the firm refused to do.
A Hartford special of the sth to the
New York Evening Post says: We have
returns from 1-4(1 towns. Republicans

The Grand Junction.
Ihe Grand Junction mill on last Sun
day shut down, in order to run a tunnel
in to strike the ore body at a greater
depth. Heretofore they have been run
ning on ore from the surface, which
milled about #(>,so per ton, but the
owners want better rock and by the
edlv have it. The fact is the owners
w ere in too much of a hurry to start up
the mill, and did so, before they had
the mine conveniently arranged for the
extraction of <>rc.
Mr. Swartrant. one of the best amal
gamators in the Hills, who lias had
charge of the mill since it started up,
said, in answer to the enquiry as to
what he thought of the mine:
“I think it is one of the best mines in
the Hills, and when worked to an ad
vantage will pay a large profit.”
Do you think that the sale will be
made:
"I do. The boys know what they
have got ami that it will pay them with
a twenty-stamp mill, and if the parties
put up the amount named in the bond
they will get it, of course, but if they
should not take it, it will not lower the
price of the mine. They have got a good
thing and they know it.”

Tht Rinktum.
He opened the door cautiously and
poking his head in in a suggestive sort
of way, as if there was more to follow,
enquired:
“Is this the editorial rinktum?”
“The what, my friend?”
“Is this the rinktum, sinktum, sanc
tum, or some such a place where the
editor’s live ?”
“This is the editorial room, sir. Come
in?”
“No, guess I won’t come in. I wanted
to see what a rinktum was like, that’s
all. Looks like a garret—only wuse
Good day.”
The court of eoity at Washington, D.
C., was the scene of an excitingly dra
matic scene on the 2nd, during the hear
ing of a habeas corpus- case, involving
the custody of a 4-year-old boy, named
William Edgar Thomas. The father
and mother had liveA apart for some
time, and the former transferred the
custody of the child to his daughter by
& former marriage, Mrs. Gittings. When
the court gave the urchin into his half
sisters custody, Mrs. Thomas seized her
son by the w rist and fought frantically
to tear him away from the officers of the
court. After a desperate struggle she
was overcome, but so far asserted her
self as to hit her husband a powerfu
plow with her clenched hand behind the
ear, as he was sitting in a chair. Man
and seat rolled over together. The child
seemed to prefer the company of his
half-sister. Mrs. Thomas has sued out a
new writ returnable next Saturday.
Still another negro is implicated in
the murder, if not something worse, of
s white woman. A bride of a few days
was found murdered in her bed in Col
leton county, South Carolina, recently,
and J. P. Robinson, an Ethiopian, ia
suspected of having committed the deed
