ton will have another paper-a prohi-
bition paper. 1t was decided at the
meeting of the prohibitionists last Fri
day to start it. This is what we have
needed O. for some time, and when
we get one more we will be all fixed.
Still there is room for more.

There is nothing certain that Argyle
will have railroad this year at least.
The Atlas every week has at the head
of the column the headline " Rail
road Prospects," setting forth the
probabilities of the road coming to
that place. The prospects are no
doubt all right, but the road fails to
materialize. The prospects for rail
road to the Burg, away back in the
seventies, were very bright, but it
didn't come Wait awhile and if the
company sees that they will be gamers
by pushing railroad through the
town they will do it, with or without
any bonus. You may as well try to
squeeze beer out of an apple tree as to
force railroad company to build
road.

The article headed " Deep Mining"
which we reprint from The Southwest
ern Local, will doubtless attract the
attention of many residents of the
Wisconsin Lead Region There is u
widespread belief that the mines of
this region have never been prosecuted
to sufficient depth to reach the more
valuable sheets of ore in which the
mines abound one reason why the
experiment of deep mining has never
been tried here is that the discovery of
mineral in this section dates back to
m early day At first the mines were
easy to work and returned n good
WELD of lead for the effort expended
and while it could be thus obtained
there was no incentive for going to the
trouble and expense ot deep mining.
And before the generous supply to be
obtained from comparatively shallow
mining was exhausted and conSe-
4uently before any organized effort was
made to determine whether still heavi-
or bodies of mineral We're to be found
further down into the ground, the Cal
ltornia gold excitement drew many
miners away from the comparatively
slow going work of mining for lead,
Everybody interested in the mines of
Southwestern Wisconsin will receive
with pleasure the announcement that
the experiment of deep mining is To be

We're over ut Highland, and the sub
iect of deep mining was uppermost in
the minds of miners there. They are
confident in the belief that the mineral
wealth of this section of country
has never been fully developed They
stated that only few years ago The
mines in the vicinity of Highland and
Centerville were almost neglected.; but
since the establishment of the Mineral
Point Zinc Works renewed interest
in mining had sprung up until miners

actively and extensively prosecuted as
ever before the work only being re.

ID, nds7, Dakota. July 3l-Consider-
able alarm prevails among settlers
south and southwest of town at the news
reported in Thursday 8 Pioneer Press OF
the proposed abandonment of Fort A.
Lincoln. One days journey from this
place, are from SIX to seven thousand
Indians, whose raids in Minnesota in
1862 and their determination OF Clusters
command fourteen years later are not
forgotten. There are only about 200
soldiers at Fort Yates to keep this horde
of savages in order. Fort Lincoln, at
which the same number of soldiers is
kept, has been regarded as indispensable
to the safety of the country. Hundreds
Of helpless settlers from Yates to Man
dan would be absolutely at the mercy of
the Indians, if they should make a raid.
The recent action of Sitting Bull rsiding
o store at Yates in the absence of the
soldiers adds considerable TO the general
feeling of insecurity. General and wide
spread fear prevails, with dennnciation
of the democratic administration which
seems to be uniformed as TO the needs
