gun. In about nine minutes the pas
sengers emerge from the shaft into the
outside atmosphere and mentally con-
gratulate themselves upon their good
luck in safely returning to the earth.
Then, glancing upward along the face
of the shaft, which seems to be falling
over upon them. they shudder slightly
and go away to boast that they have
been to the top Of the highest artifi-
cial structure in the world.
Is the elevator safe? has been asked
hundreds OF times. This question is
hard to answer, for almost all ele-
vators are matter Of some slight
risk, even under the most favorable
circumstances. Yet it can be said
with truth that the element OF danger
has been eliminated from the trip to
and from the top Of the great shaft
as far as human skill can ;:go.
The machinery has stood the
hardest tests for years without q
break. The cables have been test
ed to capacity Of over ten tons. and
the car and machinery fitted with the
best OF safety appliances. Under these
conditions it is safe to say that the
elevator is as safe as any other, and
much safer than the great majority OF
hoisting machines, the immense length
of the shaft notwithstanding. The
drum OF the elevator is located under
the floor of the monument. and it is
reached by means of traps in the iror
flooring. 1t is a great red iron cylin
der, 6 feet in diameter, and contains
when the car has been hoisted to the
top, 1864 feet of cable which is wounG
around it in opposite directions from
the center. The end Of the cables are
secured to the drum through holes il
the surface, and inside are tied to grea
cross-beams. The governor attached

ECONOMY.

A number of our citizens obligated
themselves before election for the build
ing of court house, inside of three
years, in this city to be given "free gratis
for nothing" to the county. They are
to expend at least $4,000 for the build
ing and site. As matter of practical
economy it seems to us that the time for
the purchase of site, or at least cast
ing around for the most available loca-
tion, is at hand and should at once be
taken advantage Of.
If the business men interested rest on
their oars until the time arrives for the
building of the structure, lots in Sturgis
will have increased in value to such an
extent that double or treble the present
prices will have to be paid in order to
get suitable location. Grounds, ample
enough for such building as is neces-
sary, are scarce even now in the more

tinually increasing in value. By rights
the purchase should be made at once.
Within the coming two years considera-
BILE rental money might be received by
the bounden parties from the lots if pur-
chased now. Under any circumstances
the price they would be compelled to
pay for frst-class location now would
be as nothing compared with the valua-
tion three years hence.
The subject is worth considering. The
question of location, extent of grounds,
etc., should at once be settled. The gen.
tlemen who are pledged to erect this
county building will undoubtedly re-
ceive bids for the location of this edifce
from large numbers of property holders
who would like it placed upon their
grounds adjoining the balance of their
property. Let the matter be started
Delay is costly.

The grand jury of Pennington county,
just before finally adjourning at the
close of their business, took a vote on
the prohibition amendment to the con-

seven against. The Black Hills may be

WE ARE THE PEOPLE. :"

There is no reason why the Black Hills
should not have candidate for capital
honors. We surely have as good reasons
to advance for it as Sioux Falls and some
other localities. We are as near the CEN
ter of the state. We are in the center
Of the population of western Dakota.
We have rail communication with the
eastern portion of the state, Pacific
coast, the great lakes and the Atlantic
seaboard. Our great men are known in
Washington. We are rustlers, thor
ough-breds and full Of fire, vinegar and
vim.
We can make every other aspirant for
capitalistic honors look sick when we
tell them the Black Hills vote stands pat
for one of our own towns. Eight or ten
thousand sure votes to start off with is
no small item. Every town in the state
would like to have them. Should they
discover that we propose to vote for one
of our own lively towns and throw them
overheard, the wise men of the east
would be willing to give us United
States senator, congressman, lieutenant
governor, an insane asylum, railroad
across the reservation, branch mint,
and perhaps mammoth equatorial tele-
scope on Harney's peak. If the thing
is properly worked by our long-headed
and astute wire-pullers we can get every
thing we want, draw out of the racc at
the last moment and give our votes to
the highest bidderl
For this reason we announce Sturgis
in the race for the capital. In to stay,
too, unless "seenn between now and cleo
tion time. We have the backing of the
entire Hills, 10000 voters strong. This
may read like romance but when our
money and advertising maps 1--WE print
our own) are scattered broadcast
throughout the length and breadth Of
the land our rivals viii perceive that we
are in to stay until the last dog is hung.
Dealers in marble and building stone
in Fremont and Omaha are using the
Colorado stone almost entirely. Not be-
cause they prefer it to Black Hills stone
but because it can be laid down at their
yards as cheap, nearly. as our rock can
be placed on board the cars here. The
railroad company has made large re-
duction in the rates from the Hills to
the above points but nothing near the
Colorado rate Of six cents per hundred

cattle.

Thursday, March .. 1850.
So far as prices were concerned there was
not much change in the cattle market to-
day. While there were some who felt that
they had TO take easier prices for theft hold
ings, the difference was so slight as TO be
hardly p~erccptible. There was, however, q
very material decrease IN the receipts as
compared with yesterday. in fact the re-
ceipts were considerably under the average
receipts of the last few days, but in spite of
that fact the trade on all kinds of cattle was
slow. However, the cattle were about all
sold before the close. The dressed beef and
shipping steers sold all the way from S9.S0 to
$500 but the prevailing price was 81. OOtG3 %.
Cows sold all the way from Sl.S0@2. 80, but
the bulk of the sales were made at &. 20G2. 40.
Some very choice bulls sold as high as 50. 80.
