Hon. Martin Ryan. who knows no foe
but an Orangeman, will add his mite to
the whirlpool Of excitement which bids
fair to prevail upon that occasion. Mrs.
Louie Walker, one of the finest elocu-

ing mass meeting of citizens to be
held at the Jamestown court house on
Saturday, March 16, to consider the
methods to be adopted to secure the
election of proper representatives to
the constitutional convention from "this

Der of citizens, many of whom are
Farmers Alliance men and Prohibition
lists, and the idea is to set the ball rolling
early to secure the insertion OF a pro-
hibition plank in the constitution. The
move, however, seems to be rather
premature, as no apportionment has
yet been made. and it is impossible to
state whether this district will in
clude La Moure county in the south or
Foster county in the north, as it de-
pends largely on the figures adopted by
the board as the basis for computation.
and if the vote of last fall is used it is
possible that this county will be made

THE TIN PRODUCT.
Large Capital to Be Invested IL
That and Other Mining

Special to the Globe.
RAPID CITY, March 15.-There are
excellent prospects for tin production
in the Black Hills this coming summer.
Many companies are doing development
work, land some are getting ready to put
up mills for working the ores. Among
these are the Harvey Peak Tin Mining
company. the Glendale. the Chicago
and new company from ST. Louis. 1t
appears to be fact that the Harney
Peak Tin Mining company has been
successful in its negotiations with a
London syndicate, whereby large sum
of money, variousiy estimated at from
S2,0O0,000 to sl0,000,0O0, has been put up
for working the mines of that company.
One of the reasons why it has been diff
ficult to enlist English capital in Black
Hills tin. until recently. is that under
the Stewart alien act, aliens could
not hold land, whether mineral or agri-
cultural, in the territories. The .admis-
sion of South Dakota will remedy this
difficulty by permitting aliens to ac-
quire land of citizens who hive secured
patents for their holdings. Prof. Vim
cent of London, Eng, who is famous as
tin, expert, is believed to be on the
ocean at the present time, on his way to

developing the mines of the Harney
Peak company, and to superintend new
work. If the professor follows the adj
vice which he gave to his employers, he
will have 1,500 men at work OH the pro-
pertieS under his control before another
year. The
LOOKOUT MINES,
which contain free milling gold ores,
are attracting considerable attention.
Hon. NJ. 81. Day is deeply interested in
these mines. and has enlisted large
amount of New England capital in their
operation. 1t is stated that, by an ex-
penditure of $4,000 in the construction
of tunnel from the Lookout location
to the Spread Eagle mine, the ores of
the latter can be worked so cheaply as
to make the Lookout properties very
profitable, and create second Home
Stake mine in the Hills. The Mime
sofa mine, which has been pronounced
by competent authority to be a vast
body of payable free milling ore, is
abaut to be worked. 1t has fallen into
the hands of Mr. Houlihan, of Aber-
deem, Dak., and large capital is said to
have been enlisted for working it. In
this vicinity the prospects appear to be

Church has issued their commissions to

not come under the act. He appears to
be correct in his contention that the act
does not apply to the railroad commits
sioners, as the bill regulating those
Offices was passed since the tenure of

that they are new Offices and the pr0yis-
ions of the act do not apply.
