Reports have reached here that an
earthquake shook the country around
the Cave hills, about one hundred
miles south, on the lst of
March. 1t is possible that the shock
was caused by car of giant powder
which was loaded here some time
ago, for the Homestake mining COM
pany, of Deadwood. The freighters
who started for Deadwood with the
powder were compelled on account of
being heavily loaded and the deep
snow. to leave their wagons near the
Cave hills and return to Dickinson
and wait until the snow should be
gone. 1t is probable that the powder
has in some way been exploded and
the few persons in that country sup
posed it was an earthquake.
