Black Hills.

We understand that quite large num-
Der from this vicinity intend going to the
Black Hills in quest Of their fortunes as
soon as spring opens. There is GOLD there
without question, but it should be remem-
bered that it is wild and rough country,
and that bald headed man is about the
only one who can wear scalp with i'm
punity out in that section. We publish a
sensible letter from the Hills in this issue.
Those who contemplate going should read
it and take its advice, in one respect at
least-take money enough along to bring
you back in case you should find Indians
more plenty than gold in the new Eldorado.

Mr.. A. F. Mannegold the old proprietor
of the Watertown House, is making the
necessary arrangements for the erection of

with the other necessary apartment outfit
tor 6rst-class hotel. Mr.. Mannegold will
proceed with the work as soon as the
weather permits, and hopes to have the
building ready to be occupied about July

improvements to our city during the COM
ing season, and the project reflects creditor
the enterprise of Mr. Mannegold.

EARLY Sugar,

Last week Mrs. John Richards gathered
quite run of sap from maple trees on her
place in the First ward, and made molasses
from it. The owners of several sugar
bushes in the town Of Pennington 'sugared
off, within few days, and some maple
sugar has already been made this season in
the town OF Watertown. This is the ear
liest that maple sugar has been made in
this section since 1857.

CordeII's Improved Drag.

Mr.. James Killian is now manufacturing
at lis blacksmith and wagon shops On Third
street, Cordell's Improved Drag, which is
really the best thing in the harrow line we
have ever seen. The Cordell drag is made
in four sections, and the thoronghnsss with
which it does its work in the field is the
great point in its favor. This drag is so
made that 1t performs its work as effectually
on the smallest knoll or in the smallest
hollow as it does on the even surface Of the
land. We think the Cordell drag must
commend itself to the good judgment Of
every farmer, and those engaged in agri-
culture had better see it before purchasing
any other kind. Call and see 1t at his shop
on Sd street, LIST ward.

UNJUST SPECULATION

The recent rise in -four, wheat,
corn and bacon, was brought about,
not by foreign demands, but by the
feverish excitement Of spectators,
who made the war pretext, to
enhance prices, and impose upon
the fears of cFedulous people. AS
proof of this we already see the
heated market pulse cooling down in
all the large western cities, the sig
nifcant quotations Of all provisions
being marked slower and dull"
As yet we firmly believe that bu,
few ship loads of breadstuffs and
meats, have been demanded or re-
ceivsd by foreign belligerent pow.
ers. II was in the very nature Of
things impossible for provisions to
make such an advance and reach SC
dizzy monetary altitude in $50 briei
time before or since the declara-
ton of war, by any draft Russia OF
Turkey or other nations could have
made upon this country. The higt
prices attained would have beer
somewhat expected and in the
bounds Of reason if the war had
been in progress two or three years
exhausting foreign supplies and re-
sources, but as it was, no great con-
sumption or exhaustion had taken
place, or could have possibly taken
place, and the sudden bound from
very low to exceedingly high prices,
was not compatible with the laws Of
commerce, created and governed by
supply and demand. And, there
fore, as we have said, interruptions
speculatiors are the "bears" and
turkeys" alone responsible for the
unjust and unwarranted exactions in
prices for provisions ia this country
A few days ago we read an apt
illustration Of this high state of af-
fairs. A western dealer in -four,
while seated in his immense ware
house, reading of q brisk skirmish
around Kars, suddenly bawled out to
his clerk, "Say, Tom, the Russians
and Turks have had another fight ;
go and add another half dollar to
the price of each barrel Of -four. p
So it would seem the justice of the
generous Spectator would make
Americans pay half dollar for
every gun fred by q Russian or
Turk, although the taking-off oil
every soldier but lessons the con-
sumption and demand for bread'
stuffs.
