REMARKABLE INCREASE.

Crook county shows the greatest ad-
vancement made during the present year
by any county in the territory. Its as
sessment roll foots up 81, us, 495 so, IN
increase over last Year of 1868, S7l.5O
livery item in the assessment roll shows
an increase with the single exception of
sheep in which there was a falling of Of
a little less than 1900 head. The num-
Der of acres of assessaLle land has in
creased IRON 46. 1893 to 93,525. Their
valuation is now 1856 as compared
with 5000, l0T last year. Coal lands have
jumped from a valuation of $500 to
So. 500. Last year the cattle returned
showed 50, $50 head valued at 1888, 36s.
This year l24, lis cattle are assessed at
a valuation 81, 372, 927. The Sundance
Gazette in commenting on the showing
a with the advent Of railroads
now building to this county, and the con
sequent rapid settlement ard develop
ment, it is reasonable to believe we will
show a great increase next year over the
present.
The showing is in every way remarka-
bic for a county which has only been or
gained Eve years. The rapid settlement
will undoubtedly drive out some of the
bug cattle companies and .here will be
losses in the assessable values Of live stock
next year. but this will undoubtedly be
more than overbalanced by the increased
valuation in other directions.
The coal recently discovered there is
undoubtedly coking zeal and must prove
one of the most valuable deposits in the
territory. Crook county oil has been used
for several years tor lubricating purposes
at the Deadwood mines and salt, from
the salt springs. is manufactured and sold
throughout the Black Hills. 10 addition
there are valuable agricultural and grazing
lands, all of which combine to make
Crook county one of the most prosperous
sections in the territory.

it succeeded, where all other remedies

There Is a legend In some Spanish book
About a noisy reveiler who, at night
Returning home with others, saw a light
Shine from a window, and climbed up TO look,
And saw within the room, hanged to a hook,
His own self strangled self. grim, rigid, white.
And who, struck sober by that liyid sight
Feasting his eyes, in tongue tied horror shook.
Has any man a fancy to peep in
And see, as through a window, In the past,
His noble self, self choked with coils of sin,
Or sloth or follyf Round the throat whipped
fast
The nooses give the face a stlrened grin
