This, he claims, i all there is to the report that lie was bucking and trying to recede from his agreement. But on claim No. IS Morgan Co. are receiving $200 for a three years' lease of a small strip of ground for the street, which he thinks is not right, in view of the fact that he receives nothing. The extension is now in a passable condition, and is being used by hacks and freight wagons.

The Cheyenne, Blark Hill and Jlostana Hailroad. The Cheyenne Leafcr of the 80th in a long article on the probability of the construction of the above named railroad, says that the directors' meeting of the Union Pacific railroad company, which was held on yesterday, will prove of great interest and value to the people of Cheyenne and the Black Hill. The ilirectors.saysthe LetuUr, "will discuss, among questions, that of building a railroad from Cheyenne to the Black Hills and Montana." It is said that the U. P. directors were never more in earnest in their dctennination to build this road than they are now.

It is not at all strange that thcy should come to this conclusion. There is a field here for them that promises most remunerative returns. The Black Hills are filling up rapidly.

The press of Deadwood, on the principle that when a man is down everybody kicks him, is going for that poor, dilapidated bridge structure on Lee street. The owners of placer claim No. 21 below, on the Deadwood, have taken out $6 a day to the man during the past sluicing season. This result was obtained, too, after handling the gravel over three times. Mark Hcott has a full-blooded brown Leghorn rooster for sale.

We suppress the purchaser's name by request A large portion of the Northwestern Transportation Company's freight out-fit has been engaged during the past month in transporting printing machinery and material for the several newspaper offices in Deadwood. There is nothing snide about the newspaper concerns in this section, except one or two cases The saw mill belonging to Broadwater, Hubbell at Miles City, was burned to the ground on the night of the 28th. Some 12,000 feet of lumber was burned at the same time, and a new (500 plainer damaged so as to render it useless.

A small fire at Fort Kcogh, at the same time, aroused the entire garrison. It was speedily ex tinguished. The evidence in the Spearfish town-site case, on both sides, was all in last evening, and fifteen days given for the tiling of briefs in the case. The points in this contest are altogether unlike those involved in the Deadwood town- site suit The question of the exist ence of valuable mineral cuts no fig ure in the case. It is simply this: The ranches filed on a partition of the townsite and won't get off until Code Sasn com pel Is them.

anr rawer Press am the Tlnaes. A)ur Potter power press arrived from ke manufactory yesterday, and at this writing is up, and like a perfect piece or machinery, runs as noiselessly as it is possible for such a ponderous machine to run. This press, which is the first of the kind in the Hill, is also among the very best presses made. It has been improved during the past twenty years until now it is just about perfect The one in the Times office is of the latest patera. Our daily edi tion for to-morrow "morning, in the event we get the necessary compliment of rollers moulded, will be worked off on the new press, ft In this connection we desire to add a word in our own behalf, and we are pleased, that after conducting the Timks -the first daily newspaper in the Hills nearly three ycars.to be able to express satisfaction with the measure of eeccess accomplished.

The Times has always been outspoken in everything and neutral in nothing, and thereby has made enemies. It expects to pursue the same course in the fu ture, and speak out against rings and cliques, and also individuals when they go crooked and against the inter ests of the common good. Hence we count on making enemies in the future as in the past We can afford to do this because every parjer should do ui ii deems hi oe tne rignt it pay. The people need an independent newspaper to protect their common interests; and by the amount of first-class patronage extended to the Times, we are inclined to believe that the Tixks is recognized as such paper. I he circulation or tne times nas been steadily increasing since resuming its anti-fire form, and to-day has a larger, and a much better daily circulation than any newspaper in the Hills.

Prentice, of Vermillion, D. who is taking in the Hills with a view of locating, returned from a week's visit to the southern camps last evening, and is ol the opinion that the Southern Hills form a big and rich mining country.

Mr. Prentice, who has been in the banking busi ness in Southern Dakota for a number of years, is entirely satisfied with Dead-wood and the Hills, and has about concluded to drive his stakes right here. He is a man who will lie of use to our city. Location of the Hydrants.

of the series to be given during the winter months by the ladies of the Episcopal church society, at Werth-eimer's hall last night, was a very pleasant affair, and exceeded in every respect the anticipations of the ladies having the management of the entertainment. The attendance was large, and of the very best class of ou people. The second party will take place on or about the middle of the month, and the third during the holiday week. We are pleased that an interest is being taken in the efforts of the ladies to raise tunds for the erection of a church, as the object, if accomplished, will be a benefit to all. The gross receipts of the entertainment last evening were BUUUIOIW, Henry H.

Maillard, the popular young athelet, has fixed up his new place in a very neat and convenient fashion, and now has one of the plcasantest places in the city. He is making a specialty of imported brandies, wines and cigars. The claret which he has been importing direct from France, and bottling for family use, and also for the trade, is recognized by all who have used it as the best and purest to be had in the Hills. In fact it as pure as it can be made, and is being largely used lor medicinal purposes. He is alsorun-ning his vinegar manufactory, and is putting it to its fullest capacity in order to supply the demand for his best brands.

On the whole Henry is on his business feet again? and is doing even a larger trade than before the fire. All of which is pleasant news to the Times. Vp tinlrh Items. LEAD. Mr.

It is the first corner ever effected on anything in the Hills, that we have any knowledge of. Eggs have advanced from $10 to $14 a case during the past two or three days, and are firm at the latter quotation witli a decidedly upward Undancy. If the parties who now hold the "edge" on the market keep the hen fruit back a week or two, the price will no doubt go to $20 a case, as no eggs are now being freighted in, on account of the ad vanc-ed stage of the season. Jas. F.

Ward-ner. H. B. Young and John Farley are the speculators who arc holding the trumps on our local egg market. Mr.

Warduer has a hundred cases. Mr. Young has been picking up all he could find for the past few days, and has probably a larger number, and Mr. Farley has twenty-five cases. This state of affairs in the egg market will not occur again, alter this winter, for next summer every well regulated family will own a small Sock of brown Leghorn fowls, and then they will fixed for eggs, winter and summer.

A Blv.OO Ore Streak Col. Hale wfio hfs been spending the greater portion of the past season in the Southern Hills, is in the city, and has some very rich gold quartz specimens in his poscssion, which were taken from the C. J. and G. M.

mine, located on Palmer's gulch, about 25 miles north ol Custer City. There is a twenty-two foot vein in this lead that the Colonel thinks is the riches body of ore in the Hills, and it contains a fourteen inch streak the bonanza rock from which the specimens referred to were taken. This streak will go at least $10,000 per ton, if it will average one-half as rich as the specimens in the possession of Col. nalc. The peculiarity of the quartz in the Southern Hills is, that much of It in different sections, contain those rich specimen streaks while the body is of a low grade.

The Bengal Tiger ore is of this character. Many mines in the southern camps which went up like rockets upon encountering this feature, are now almost forgotten.

They may indulge themselves in this respect to their heart's content until we, over here, get our company in the field.

That the man who refuses to wear a moustache simply because he has a nice little mouth, has a nice little brain to go with his pretty little mouth. That the least noted chapter in the bible contains more news of interest to the average Black Ililler than one-half of our local contemporaries contain daily.

That but a very few people have any where near a correct conception of the amount of gold dust that was washed from the placers in the Hills last sum mer and fall. That we are desirous to know the name of the first white child born in the Hills. We believe Charley Corde-ro, ol the Alhambnt, claims the honor of this distinction, but arc not certain about it That a new walk in front of Graves, Curtis (Vs. store and just this side of Star Bullock's would add greatly to the convenience and safety of their customers, and to the appearance of those establishments. That Major Reno's next court mar tial will take place on or about the 4th ol July next.

That is, if his enemies keep up their lick in the future with the same regularity as during the past two years, in which time he has been on trial, including the present farce, three times. That it is about time to begin to talk up some public holiday festivities; or do the ladiesof the Episcopal church society intend to fill the bill! If they do they should begin to belch in the matter, or somebody will get ahead of them. The Fort Meade brass band are talking of giving a prominade concert on Christmas night in Deadwood. That some men prefer to drink whisky over a thousand dollar bar to swallowing it out of a bottle, while others claim that the lizzard water tastes better out of a jug, and still others have no preference. The latter are satisfied to get the fluid into their stomaches, even though it passed through the gut of a Sioux.

Men's tastes are varied. That the worst sold jehu in the country runs between peadwood and Central. He was going up Main street yesterday at a spanking gait when a jolly old colored woman accosted him. ''Hi, there, boss, ycr gwine to "Yes," responded the jehu, and in alighting trom his seat to assist the old auntie in, he tumbled to the ground, carrying the robe, whip and reins with him. Upon regaining his feet, the questionei came up, when the excited jehu exclaimed: "Get right in, quick; I'm in a hurry." "Oh, I'ze gwine to Lead, boss," replied the old joker, and the driver remounted his seat and swore in every tongue at his com mind, the entire distance from here to Central.

The Xala tttreet Extension Trouble, Otto Grantz, owner of placer claim No. 20, over which the extension of npper Main street posses, and of whose alleged opposition to the extension of the road much has been said, called at the Timrs office yesterday and stated bis side of the story.
