THE BLACK HILLS.


Is This Region a Ne,c Mining Camp?
[From the Deadwood Daily TimesI
From living evidence along Deadwood
gulch, Whitewood district and Montana
vicinity, it is reasonable to conclude that
the Hills country was, many years ago,
prospected and mined by skilled labor.
In many places along these gulches we
have convincing evidence that others
have taken the rich harvest of gold, and
what eUoIIr yeIuaUIe payIus5 uIooi-c-
now are only tailings. But what became
of that party who worked these same
placer mines, many years ago, remains
only for us to conjecture. The tall
pines are now standing upon the ground
they sluiced, and probably stand, too, as
a monument over their graves. We
trace their trail through the mountains,
a wagon-chain still bangles from lofty
pine, imbedded by years of growth in
it's trunk, where perhaps some early ex-
plorer chained his horse, or OK, and both
together they perished. Then along
through Whitewood district are found
hewed pine logs, thirty feet in length,
overgrown by pines and saplings, show
ing by the shot and bullets that pene-
trated some of these timbers that fight
ensued, and the probability is that the
party was massacred. Then sluice-
boxes are found, buried from six to
eight feet under the earth, showing by
stages of decay that twenty or thirty
years have elapsed since they were
built, and that rains and storms have
buried them beneath the earth's sur
face.
At Golden Run there is a mine of
rich ore, into which run had been cut
many years ago. The timbers in the
cut show marks of a terrible siege,
undoubtedly with the Indians assailing
the miners while at work. The timbers
show marks of many years standing,
and in several places they are perforated
with shot and bullets. These, and
many other such Indications, prove con-
clusively that we are really in an old
mining camp.
Again, in the heart of Deadwood, where
thrived the saplings and the sturdy
pines, was unearthed the other day
grindstone of primitive construction. In
the rear of Morton's saloon a party of
men were at work, excavating for Gel
lar, or underground fre-proof house.
When they had reached the depth of
aonnt six feet below the level surface,
they came to bedrock, UPON winch
they found a grindstone of native rock,
eighteen inches in diameter and three
inches in thickness The center bar was
in part preserved, being impregnated
with mineral substance. On exposing
the stone to the influence of the
atmosphere, it fell into two pieces,
the stone splitting lengthwise with the
grain.
With these fact before us, we are led
to conclude that the Hills have, many
years previous to our coming, been pros
pected for gold, and the pioneers of that
day have long since perished.

AN ELEPH4NTys TRUNK.

Cuvier tells us the trunk of the ele-
phant is composed of 10000 or more
small muscles, interlaced in all direc-
tions, the contraction and relaxation of
which enable the animal to shorten or
lengthen its trunk. and render it SO fex-
ible. 1t is perforated through its entire
length by double tube, through which
the animal breathes and drinks. At the
END of the trunk is little finger-hke ap-
pendage, which serves to pick up small
objects, and also acts as feeder. With
this wonderful instrument, as with a
hand, the elephant can pick up needle
or tear up tree, twist the herbage from
the ground, or strip the young branches
or leaves from the trees upon which he
leeds,

4 ToRNlDO'S ECCENTRICITIEs


Five miles east OF Langdon the whirl-
wind cut swath three-quarters of a
mile wide.
OF the roofs of houses and fen 'es in
side its swath, scarcely a fragment is
found. All have disappeared. One
long house-timber, eight by ten inches,
was carried three miles over the prairie
and half a mile over Lake st. Croix,
where it passed endways through the
house of Norman EichensiHger, on the
Wisconsin shore, cutting holes clean as
cannon-balI could Four miles east of
the lake houses and outbuildings were
carried away, and the pump and pipe
were lifted from a forty-foot well and
bodily carried off.
A man named Kelly, lying on his bed,
was carried half a mile with the roof OF
his house, and received fatal injuries.
Among incidents of the storm-tr1p
through Dakota county, was the general
destruction of farm machinery -reapers,
tanning mills, and threshers being brok-
en- up and scattered as if made of card
board. .-Mi1n. Cor Chicago Tribune.

GIVE HIN Il LIFT.

Give him lift ! Don't kneel in prayer,
Nor moralize with his dspair;
The man is down, and his great need
Is ready help-not prayer and creed.
'Tis time when the wounds washed and healed
That the inward motives be revealed
But now, whate'er the spirit be,
Mere words are but 4 mockery.
One grain of aid Just now is more
To him than tones of sanity lore
Pray, If you must, in your full heart
But give him a lift give him start!
The world is full of good ADVICE,
OF prayer, and praise, and preaching nice
But the generous soul who aid mankind
Ar rasg gold, and hard to find
Give like Christan-speak in deeds
noble 1fes the best of creeds
And he shall wear a royal crown
Who gives 'em a lift when they are down.

4MERTC4N BIOGR4PHY.
JAMES A. BAYARD,


James A. Bayard, an American lawyer
and statesman, was born in Philadelphia
in 1867, and died at Wilmington, Del,
Aug. 6, 1915. He was educated at Prince
ton, studied law at Philadelphia, and set
tied and commenced practice in the State
of Delaware He was elected to Con-
gress in 1876, and distinguished himself
among the supporters of the Federal ad-
ministration as legal and constitutional
orator. But, perceiving in the contrast
between Mr. Jefferson and Mr.. Burr the
danger to the success and stability of the
Government, he was the leader of that
policy which resulted in the election of
the former to the Presidency. He was
transferred to the Senate in 1904, where
he remained until selected by Mr.. Madi-
son as one of the Commissioners for ne
gotiating peace with Great Britain
under the mediation of the Emperor of
Russia. He accordingly sailed for ST.
Petersburg in May, 1918, and, in the
absence of the Emperor, proceeded by
land to join the commission at Ghent.
He took a prominent share in the ne
gotiations, and, after the ratification of
the treaty, was appointed Envoy to st.
Petersburg. This appointment he i'm
mediately declined, saying he had no
wish to serve the administration except
when his services were necessary for
the good of his country, at the same
time expressing a readiness to cooperate
in the formation of a commercial treaty
with Great Britain; but, being seized
with an alarming sickness, he sailed for
home, and only arrived in time to die in
the arms of his family. He left an en-
viable and unblemished name, and is
still regarded as the glory of Delaware.
His son, James A. Bayard, was elected
to the United States Senate from that
State in 1850, and again in 1856.
JEREMY BELKNAP, D. D.
Jeremy Belknap was Presbyterian
clergyman of Boston, at which place he
was born 1744. He was graduated at
Harvard in 1862, and ordained at Dover,
n. H., in 1867. During his residence
there he wrote history of the colony.
In 1877 he removed to Boston, and took
| charge of the Presbyterian Church there.
| Devoted to historical pursuits, he be-
came one of the founders of the Massa-
chusetts Historical Society. He did
much toward the preservation of the
monuments and records of the past.
His most popular work was entitled
"The Foresters," in which he gave a
humorous delineation of American so
ciety. He died at the age of 81, of pa
ralysis, in 1898. He was a very volu-
minous writer, and beside a great NUM-
Der of essays, sermons, historical dis
courses and tales, he published a valua-
bic American Biography in two volumes.
