The Inundation.

The situation at Elk Point remains
about the same to-day; that the gorge
at Ponca still holds and the water ct
noon was slowly rising. Some fears
were entertained by railroad men last
night that the bridge across the Sioux
river would go out, but that structure
still holds although it is very shaky.
The water has completely destroyed
about five miles of the rail
road bed aud it will require
at least a weeks time before re-
pairs can be begun. The farmers to q
large extent have taken refuge with
their goods and chattels on tho bluffs,
and the stock has been made as comfor-
table as possible. Relief boats run out
from Elk Point every day, and the best
possible view is taken
of the matter. The passenger
train which usually runs between Yank-
tor and Sioux City now makes trips to
Sioux Falls and return, and passengers
to Sioux City are obliged to take the
Northwestern. Afterst the subsistence OF
the waters it will not be o great while
before the trains will be running again.

THE SILVER MINE CONFIRMED.

o.. S.sSwenson, G. a. Cole, George
Arneson, Jno, "A. Bankson, and
Other sioux Falls Citizens stake
Out Claims-There may be Some
thing I'm &c.
Sioux Falls Argus.
Last evening an account OF the find
ing of q silver mine at Palisades was
given from the report OF Mr.. Gilberts
who Was down from that place. There
were some statements made that upon
investigation appear a little wild. to say
the least. The craze at Palisades and
through the. surrounding country was
considerable yesterday, and it could
hardly be expected that everything
would be reported exactly straight.
A reporter called on O. s. Swenson
this morning and found some interesting
particulars. Mr.. Syenson was oSer to
Valley Springs yesterday on business
south of town. When he leturnsd he
found there was great excitement over
the silver mine at Palisades. The report
was that the ore assayed $500 to the ton.
MIR. Swenson knew this was incorrect,
but thought best to go up and investi-
gate the thing. In company with 9. A.
Cole, Geo. Arnesop, Jno. Bankson, he
drove over to Palisades and
! learned from Mr.. Patten what there
was IN the silver mine. For some
time past Mr.. Patten has realized
the fact that he was living on the top of
great wealth. Just west OF his mill
there appears a reddish coiored lock
that is speckied with white specks with
/ out much lustre. The rock Is softer than
the Sioux Falls granite, but not so soft
as the pipestone. Mr.. Patten set to
work to gain all the information he could
of silver mining. He sent on several
pieces and they assayed from 1927 to
1856 to the ton. From correspondence
with other parties he found that this was
paying ore. The best paying mines
In the Black Hills do not
assay over three dollars and twenty
FIVE cents to the ton. Mr.. Patten has
gone about the business carefully and
has everything in order and in business
like shape. The assays are filled out in
the proper blanks and certified by
proper authorities. The only question
there seems to be liz, as to the quantity
of the ore. TIE exposure shows well,
but how far back the ledge extends is not
yet known, and will have TO be deter
mined before anything further is done.
MIR. Swenson and his party all took
and staked out claims. According tc
the statute q claim / 500x300 feet of land
may be filed on and taken as O miners
claim. These men do not pretend that
they have found their fortune, but in
tend to work their claims for all there
is in them. If Minnehaha county is tc
be developed as a mining district il
ought to be put down AZ another eyi.
dence OF her great natural resources.

Characteristics of the Texan Ranger.


He looks on courage in a man to be what
chastity is to a woman, and he sums up this
article of his creed in the laconic dictum
"GOd hates towards" Unlike the cowboy,
against whom he is pitted on occasions when
the latter runs a-muck, or cuts barbed wir5
fences with his patent nippers, contrary to
the statutes in such cases made and provided,
he drinks but seldom, and never to excess.
Like soldiers, the rangers always go in twOs,
but ailude to their second self in frontier par
lance Is my partner" They have very hazy
notions of international law, and viii follow
thieves and murderers miles into the neigh
boring republic of Mexico, and corral" them,
and bring them back across the Rio Grande
without extradition or any other papers, and
with the most sublime contempt for the
treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Indeed, if
the rangers cared much for the nice points OF
international law the Americans living on the
Texas side of the border would be defenseless
against the raids from Mexican robbers who,
half across the river, would be safe in their
own country. The respectable Mexicans do
not object to this virtual ignoring of the
boundTy line by the rangers, and there is only
one instance on record where it gave rise to
diplomatic remonstrance on the part of the
Mexican gOvernment.-Cor. Chicago Times.
