Pierre Free Press:--It is asserted
positively that an excellent quality OF
anthracite coal has been found on the
Sioux reservation and that the veins
are Very thick. Should this prove true
it would be bonanza for this country.
Whether there is anthracite or not
there is 10 question but what there is
an abundance of good coal of lower
grades.
Pierre'Signal, 29:-The Northwestern
Transportation company sent out Fri
day, under Nels Talcotson, $4,000
pounds OF Black Hills freight. Yester-
day they loaded John Reeds outfit with
100000 pounds, besides several smaller
outfits aggregating 10000 to 5000
pounds. Who says the Northern Pa
citic railroad is getting all the Black
Hills freight, when this concern alone
sends out over 100000 pounds in two
days.

Hanson Co. Advocate:-Iti is reported
That the good people of Mitchell are
showing their enterprise by opening
their pucketbooks and subscribing lib
orally to a fund to complete the Meth
odist university at that place. to the
roof, that it may be enclosed yet this
winter. Now that Mitchell's hot polit.
ical fight is over, we are told that sup.
porters of the republican and peoples
ticket contribute alike to the fund
which, evident that a politician thinks
rs much of laying up treasures in
Heaven as other folks.
| Fargo Republican:-It is an i'll wind
that blows nobody good. The election
of Cleveland would turn $4,000 federal
oilice-holders out of comfortable posi-
tions. 1t is presumed that most of the
number have laid aside little store
for rainy day, and what is more nat
ural than that they should come to Da-
kota with their savings to start in anew
and grow up with the country. The
conclusion is, therefore, that the elec-
tion of Cleveland means an Increase of
$4,000 in the population of Dakota
How is that for consolation?

river on the north to a point sixty miles
south, known as Fox ridge, and ex.
tending from the Black Hills on the
