vatrlv: tin- bv t-ti Umv SI'NDAY I Sunday is the gala day of the Hills. The pick, pan and shovel is laid aside, and the miner turns his attention for a few hours to the world oeyond the camp. The business at the Poslnfficc begins at a.m., and through it they receive the intelligence from home and friends. or disappointment is depicted on the countenance of the multitude as letters are presented or denied them. Then comes the grand rush at the Daily Times office, for copies of the weekly and daily, to send to the various States of the I'nion and torneis of the earth, wherever fiiend or kin reside.

The doors of trade are thrown open, and traffic prevails during the. whole day. At evening the pack mule and the saddle horse may be winding slowly over th" hilis to the mining cabin, bearing provision for the coming week. Along the road between the neighboring ci'ies and Deailwood pour a constant stream of spectators, improving the opportunity of a visit to and fro. At the hotels, saloons and other places of public business, the labor of thi week lie only preparatory undertakings to the drudgery, which on this day they are compelled from the custom of the country to undergo.

Strange and marked are the affairs of the evening, to one not familiar with such a life as the gold fields of the Black Hills afford. The hall of fun. games and excitement during the week is transformed into a sanctuary, and the gospel expounded to an inter-; esting few, but the report from a revolver, or the snail from a bull pup in the nigh distance, will disperse a multitude, religious or secular, in any regular assembly, and bring them to the scene of action quicker than the bugle call of Gabriel may cull them from tho grave. riocer i) KVg: "imng our offering The special a "tiiii tiii in li! as own is by doing places itself in with thf most in-iii ous of thieves. th.5 sann- aie lawful an.

Some c.t lh" tidiest that have yet been cli.scovei ed are in that section. We have taken from the Alpha and Omega mine, commonly known as th. W'olsey mine. One is of honey comb rock, and is literally filled with free gold, varying; in size from a pin-head to an eighth of an inch. These diggings might be styled gravel diggings, lor splints of gold is not only found in the quartz, gravel and large rocks of this hill, but is seen peppered through the mud between them.

Parties wishing to visit rare curiosities, wid find pleasure and profit in a tour to these mines; and yet they are only a tithe of what is yet to be discovered. that drygulchod Johnnie Slaughter of ti: I in the han 'ITV AM) VICINITY This quartet of holdup was part of tiv pir Durbin Bros.
