Concerning the Rawhide, Wyoming
copper mines, the Cheyenne Leader
says: "Messrs. Mitchell, Pierce and
Denison are operating extensively the
noted Michigan and Deadwood mines,
owning the former and leasing the lat
ter. On five cars Of ore shipped they
have cleared 81 go. On the 9th, all the
output of the Deadwood mine, more
than $500 was realized. The ore is haul
ed eighteen miles to Lusk, the nearest
railway point, and then shipped to
P%ittsburg for smelling and reduction.
The total transportation tariff is SIS.
Commencing this week n carload per
day will be shipped, and a profit Of $3.50
on each shipment is assured. These
figures certainly suffice in demonstrate
ing the worth Of the mineral. Were a
sme!ter erected at the mine there would
truly be millions in it,"

Benefited bv Admission.

a Chicago special says; The mineral
industry of our country will derive an
uncalculable amount of good from the
admission Of Dakota to the union" SO
spoke Captain Corners, owner of the
Boston tin mine at the Leland last yer
ing. Since the Stewart alien land law
has been in force, prohibiting the pur-
chase of real estate of any character in
any territory, investments from foreign
capitalists have been meager. AT the
time of the discussion of the bill there
were several extensive negotiations
carried on between Black Hills miners
and English syndicates, but when the
provisions of the bill were published all
bets were declared off. We have a
number of rich claims in our country
that have not been developed only on ac-
count Of the lack of the necessary capital
To develop and operate p~rofitably. The
present owners are but well-to-dO west
erners, and they do not possess the nee
essary amount of capital which it re-
quires TO develop extensive mines.
While we have a number of great pro-
ducers there are, no doubt, others just
as good lying in the same belt, but for
the reasons ! have given they are at
presen no productive. English, French
and German capitalists are friendly to
American industries, and now as we are
not handicapped by the alien law, it it
expected that some of their coin will
purchase valuable investments in the
Hills.

Buffalo Bill has recently been at Pine
Ridge for the purpose of securing 100
Indians to accompany his "Wild West"
to Paris the coming spring. He had no
trouble in securing the flower Of the
flock, and consequently South Dakota
will be represented at the Worlds Ex-
hibition" the coming summe by 100 of
her original natives. Red Shirt, the
gentleman who created such a furore
among the crowned heads on the other
side of the big waters last season. will
not accompany the gang. 1t seem that
he insisted on taking on too much fire
water while abroad, and at times be-
came wild and woolly and exceedingly
hard to handle, consequently he will
remain at home and will haye to content
himself with an occasional diet on dog.

A Jump from thirteen TO forty-two
states in a century is not bad. The adj
mission at one time into the Union Of
tie two Dakotas, Montana and Wash
ington will mark an era in history and
establish a precedent that will probably
never again be repeated. When other
states have been admitted into the
Union a great deal has had TO be taken
for granted, but with the soon TO be
states referred to, nothing is to be taken
on trust. They have far more than the
are intelligent, shrewd men of affairs
who have left the eastern states in or
der to better their condition in life.
The fact that they have been denied
rights of self-government for years has
awakened within them that spirit OF
loyalty and patriotism that makes good
citizens. They will enter with zeal into
the task of bouncing the carpet-baggers
and assuming the reins Of selfgovern-
ment. They have the foundations for
statehood we'll laid and will rear a gov.
ernmental structure of which the sister
states will be proud. Hundreds ofthou-
sands of people and millions of money
will pour in from both east and west
and a decade Of unprecedented prosper,
ity is sure to follow. 1t is well for the
young ladies to think Of these thing,
while they are having their weddinl
dresses made.-Minneapolis Tribune.

When President Cleveland dipped his
historic quill in ink and signed the
omnibus bill it was equivalent to the
issue of IA proclamation declaring an in
crease of - an acre in all the broad
lands of the wheat empire. Dakota has
long struggled under the ban of terri
torialism. There j. a stigma in the
word territory. 1t suggests desperadees,
stage robberies, lynching bees, knives

Thanksgiving dav was ~feryently and
faithfully observed@n this city. Church
services were held, turkeys, ducks,
chickens, and divers and sundry other
blessings were eagerly and earnestly
discussed in family circles and hotel
dining rooms. Everybody, not except
ing those of us who were poor in purse
seemed grateful for present or pros
pectiye favors, which in our own case,
we confess, were largely ~expectant. A
review Of the situation reveals the fact,
that the residents of this place and
vicinity, in common with other Black
Hills communities, have much to be
thankful for. Fairly abundant crops,
productive mi--s, prospective railroads
acquired statehood, good health, ex
ceptional climate and most promising
outlook for the early opening of the
great Sioux reservation may be noted
among the many blessings enjoyed oil
reasonably expected, for which we hav,
just reason to feel thankful, as we un
questionably do.
