Preparations for Improved Stage Lines to Custer Uity. Numersus Claims Taken. They are Zealously Guarded by the Miners. Valuable Hints to Parcbasers of Fire-Arms. Henry Homan, of Omaha, Strikes a Bieh Eonamza—It is a Rich Quartz Lead, and He Now Has Twelve Men To Work It. Corresponcience of the Bee. Custer City, sakata, January 4 — The stage companies are waking up to the important fact that this town is 0 be of considerable importance in the near future. The Cheyenne line will put acomplete outfit on the new toll road from th's place to Harney, on North Battle creek, in about two weeks. The line will be gradually extended until it takes in the town of Hayward and also the lower town of BattleCity. The up- per towns are growing rapidly and bid fair to be permanent, turiving cities in a short time. About one mile from Hayward, over to the southwest, a fine gold lode has been discovered, which prospects extremely rich. It ear- ries free gold in a white looking rock, which resembles the Centen nial ore from near Laramie. It is somewlat harder, but would work very wll with the proper machine- ry.” The miners are rocking out enough gold to live on and guard ing their claims very jealously indeed. Over twenty-eigint milesof round has been taken up, and the men who cameifl too Iate are watch- ing for the slightestexcuse to “jump" the claims. Most of the cabins are perfect arsenals, and I bave counted as high as ten guns in one camp. Vae Springfleld needle guns and the heavy Sharp's nfles, with globe sight forward, and the Creedmoor peep sight screwed into the stock, are the favorite guns. The Win- chester repeater 18 a good gun for the timber, aud for hitting anything within six hundred yards, but there is no* enough powder in the cart- ridge to hold the ball up for a greater custance than that. To partiescom- iog up to the Hills, I would say, get 8 goud beavy Sharp's rifle, by all means, for they are always in de- maud, and can be sold, if well kept, without much loss to the owner The Indians down on the stage lines fully appreciate the qualities of the different guns, and govern them- selves accordingly. Speaking of Indians reminds me of an incident that occurred while we were over atlron creek. The. readers of the Bes will doubtless remember the killing of four men who were making hay about two miles south of Custer last July. The party who went out to Lriag the remains in could not find any traces of any In dians baving been hurt, ana thought they mast have escaped being injured at all, but it seems that such was not the case, for last week, or about ten days ago, a party out prospecting south of Custer found the skeleton of one of the band tha did the deed. The party could not find where he was hit, as the crows had been st work and picked the bones nearlyclean. How | the party came to leave one of their | comrades in that way is a mystery, but it was an Indiso, and he wi there in a sadly demoralized coudition, The did not even vouchsafe to him a Chris. tian burial, but one of them who happened {o own an undivided third of a saloon at Custer, carried off the skull for an ornament to the bar, and there it standsgrinning be- tween the bottles before the mirror. Atthe cabin where the twomen were killed, over between Ked Cloud and Hat Creek, & desperate fight occurred before the whites suc- cumbed, and it is currently reported that they killed six of the band. Dillon lay on the ground after he was mortally wounded, and cheered the others on, firing as long as he was able to rise up high enough to get an aim. The murdering was done by some of the deserters from the band that started out with Crook and McKenzie aiter the guns and ponies were taken away at Red Cloud. All the trouble 1s credited to them and the Lalf breeds who bave been ordered to leave the agencies and are thus thrown upon their own resources for a liv- ing. It will not be very healthy ny of the freighters to catch any of the noble red men prowling around very far from the agencies for the next two or three months. Mr. Meyer, of the Deadwood Pioneer, has Leen elected to repre- sent the northern part of the Hills at Yankton and Washington this winter. He started for the east last Wednesday. Heury Homan has struck a good thing in the way of quartz near one of his ranches on the Red Cloud tcll road. He has twelve men at work on it at the date of writing.

As we are on the eve of an elec- tion of United States Senator in this Btate, some description of the ‘modus operandi will be of interest to the public. Previous to the en- actment of the law of 1866 there | was no provision of United States law requiring that the election should take place at any particular time or any particular mode, that being left to be determined by the Legislatures of the States, under the provision of the constitution em- powering to elect. The usual | method wae by vote taken in joint i convention, which required the pre- | vious adoption of & concurrent reso- | lution by both Houses naming thé time for going into such joint con- vention, when the election was | made by a majority of the votes of both houses. The failure to elect in some cases growing out of the re- fusal of one House or the othier to meet 1h joint convention—which oc- casioually happened when the two houses were opposed to each other politically —finally led to the enact- | ment of the law of July 25, 1666, prescribing the time of election and mode of procedure. That law is as foliows : Bee. I4. ‘llat the Legisiature of each State which shall be chosen | next precediug the exnication of the time for which any Senator Was | elected to represent sait Siate in | Congress shall, on the second Tues- day after the meeting and organiz:- | tion thereof, proceed to ele:t a Sen- | ator in Congress, in the place of | such Senator so going out of office, | in the following manner - i 8ec. 15. Each House shall openly, | by viva vose of each member pres- | ent, name one person for Senator iu Congress from said State, and the | name of the person so voted for, who shall have & majority of the whole number of votes castin each House | shall be entered upon the journal of | each House by the Clerk or Becre- tary thereof; but if either House | shall fail to give such majority to any person ou emid day, the fact | sball be entered upon the journal. | At twelve o'clock, meridian, of the | day_following jthat on which pro- ceedings are requested to take place | aa aforesaid, the members of the | two hotees ahall couvene i Joint assembly, and the journal of each | Fouse shall then be read, a-d if the same person shall have' receiv- ed a majority of all the voies in | each House, such person shail be | declared duly elected Senator to | represent said Btate in the Congress | of the Umted Btates; but if thesame | person shall not have received a ! majority of the votes i each house, | or if either house shall have failed to take proceedings as required by this act, the joint assembly shall proceed to chudse; by & viva vooe | Voteof each member present, & per- | son for the parpose afuresaid. and & | person having & majority of the | members elected to both houses be- | ing present and voting, shall be de- | clared duly clected; and in case no | person shall receive suoh majorliy | on the first day, the joint assembly shall meet at twelve o’clock, meri- dian; of each sucoessive dey during | the seesion of the legislature and | take at least one vote, until a sena- torshail be elected. | The other sections of the law pro- | vide for elections to fill vacancies, and require the certificates of elec- | tion to be signed by the Governor, | countersigned by the Secrotary of btate, and addressed to the Presi- dent of the Senate. In case of va- cancy existing at the time the Leg- islature assembles, the Legislature is required to proceed to an election | in the same manner as for a regu- ; { lar term; when the vacancy occurs | { place on the second Tuesday after official notification of the fact. Under the above law, the ballot- | ino for Benator for e1x years irom the 4th of March next, to fill the vacancy which will be caused by i the expiration of Senator Hitch. oock’s term of office, will be held 1n the ssparate houses on to-day | (Tuesday), and on the day following the two houses will meet in conven- ! tion. | A TERRIBLE COUGH.

New York ulletin. 1t has been! stated for some days past (hat the ¥arious coal-producing companies are'endeayorin; to effect a combinatien, by means of which the produc ted to the actaal demand from con- sumers. details of this propo- sed combination have not been publie, but itisunderstood that the object sought for is to limit the pro- duction of coal to the reasonable ca- pacity of each mine, and in this manner to avoid a glutted mar- ket, as at present. The binatiop, if formed at therefore, will be_simply for ton- nage, aud will hiave tothing to do with prices; each company being ai- Jowed to obtain beat prices they can for their own productions. In rela- tion to this matter, a reportet of the Bulletin on Bsturday called upon Mr. Samuel Sloan, Presldent of the Delaware, na & Western Railroad aud was - {formed bym Z proposed by the various coal companies to form such a combination. Mr. Sloau said, however, that the com- pany he represented would have nothing to do with either the one or any other combination, either in regard to tonnsge or price. He said | furtber, that he bad been drawn in- combination much against his wishes, and he had enouch of it. No consideration would induce him to baveanything to do with another combination either directly or indirectly. Ho | said he did not speak n this man- ner on account of any animus to any of the coal companies, but sim- ply because asa business’ prmerple he objected to all combination as to the last burtful both to the public aud the compsnies. He wished every euc- cess to the coal trade, and fo all the companies engsged init, but he be- lieved the true policy for each com- pny (0 pursue was fo conauct its business in its own way, and obtain the best possible price for its pro- ductions, without reference to what any other company was doing. Mr. Sloan denied the report that he bad refused to jomn the combin tion until ~the Lehigh Val- ley Coal company would give security mn $500,000 for the faithful performance of the contract on its part, and even it all the companies concerned should offer this amount, be would not join them. During the last combination, he said, there were forfeitures for non-performance on the part of all the companies, but nore of them had ever been paid, and the various companies owed bis company now 1n that way over $ 000, of which he never ex- | pected = obisiu a peny. Mr. Sloan cou: ‘ided by saying that be would have nothiug to do with any combinution, directly or indirectly, for either tounsge or prices, as the whole matter was opposed (o sound business princi At the office of the Pennsylvania Coal company the reporter Was in- formed ibat the company regarded the proposed combina‘ion favorably, as it was the only way tocontrol the market and prevent the suppfy of coal exceeding the demand. They did not believe in a combination to controlprices, but thought thac to e trol tonnage was sound policy and legitimate. © The companies, they said, should work and produce pro rate, aceording to the amous t of coal demanded, and not produce an excess under Say circumstances. They did not think the companies separately could cerry out such a system, as some of thém might prc- duce too much, and therefore com- bination to limit production was the only thing that could rescue the coal trade from its prasentcondition, for now the profits were very small Of course the combination spoken of would not interiero with prices, | as each company would be left | {10 its own judgment as to what price it would cell, according to its facilities and necessities, but prob- ably tho orices might go up. Sev- eral companies might remain out- side of the combination, but their { prices wouid undoubtedly be con- trolled by the general market, so that the prices of the combination would became the standard, bt then prices would be a mere it cidental matter. ————— Frozen Bits for Horses’ Mouths, Boston Herald, Let any ene who has the eare of a horse these cold, frosty mornings, dehberately grasp in his hand & piece of iron ; indeed, lot him touch it to the tip of his tongue, and then let him thrust the pitinto the mouth of Lus horse, if he has the heart to doit.

Pinchback - nd his senators were received w1 1 loud and vociferous cheering Ly the adherents of Nich- olls. and the former delivered him- self of & similur diatribe on Gov. Packard to that which he ad- ministered to President Grant last summer at the Cincinnati Convention. This does not in any way alter the situation, nor will it seriously cripple Paekard’s Ad- ministration, though it leaves the Senate without a quorum. All the important measures, however, have already been passed. likely to detract from Gov.

Deputy Bherift Kuble went into the )sil at 50'clock to lock the prisoners in thewr cells, neglecting to lock the outer door after bim. The prisoners observing this, entered into an ar- | gument as to whether it was time | to lock them in. The offieer puiled out his watch to prove ihat it was, | when one fellow kicked him in the shins and suother struck biwm in the face, flopping h* floor. - He was the cell, the key turp ¢ o him, and ne jail birds flew away trougy the gates ajar. Of the escaped prisoners one s s safe burglar, while the otheis were coniined for minor ot- fences.
