Immense Reduction Works to BE Con-
structed.

AInmense reduction Works to BE Con-
structcd.
Arrangements have been consum.
mated for the erection of immense re-
duction works in Deadwood, capable of
reducing 100 tons daily, and work will
be commenced Immediately. 1t is en-
pected that the plant will be completed
and ready for operation by May 1, 1891.
This places Deadwood in position to
control the reduction of large part of
the Bald Mountain and Ruby Basin
area. The 12O-ton plant will take the
place of what is known as the ..Baby'
smelter an experimental plant of twenty
tons capacity per day. The chlorination
works are capable of reducing sixty tons
per day, SO that when the new works are
completed the daily capacity for the diff
fcrent works in Deadwood will be $50
tons, and this, too, in addition to the 12O
stamp mill that will be soon erected to
reduce the free milling gold ores living
between Deadwood and the Bald moun-
tain and Ruby Basin districts, the pro-
ducts in the latter districts being known
as refractory ores.

DAKOTA STATE NEWS.
Experiments in Beet Culture Showing
Very Favorable Results-The News IN

r~.r;m,mt. in Rect Culture showing
Wv Favorable Results-The News in
Brief.
Prof Lewis McLouth of the South
Dakota Agricultural college, writes as
follows regarding beet culture in this
state:
The first summer after the organic
alton of the state, several of the then
best known varieties OF beets were sown
and cultivated. The yield varied from
6]s to Is tons per acre, with ordinary
good tilagc but a heavy dressing OF well
rottcd barn manure. Inc SEED was
sown June and the crop harvested Oct.
Is. During the season the bects were
cultivated three times and hoed three
times. Analyses showed from 6.5
to 1O.5 per cent. of sugar. These
were regarded as promising percentages,
though considerably below those found
in the best sugar beet region OF Califor-
MIA. Lam's Improved, at the rate 1t
yielded, would have given over 1890
pounds of sugar per acre.
The second series of experiments were
carried on last year, 1889. The sugar
percentages of the eight best kinds
ranged from 90 to 49,, the highest being
given by Vilmorn's Imperial. The year
before this variety had yielded but 1919
per cent. of sugar. The weight of roots
in SO ran from to 16 tons per acre.
Vilmorin's Imperial at the rate of its
yield and its sugar per cent. would have
given over 1900 pounds of sugar per
acre.
The result of the years experiments
are now being worked up. Early in
November bulletin will be issued by the
experiment station giving full accounts
of our latest result. 1t is proper to say,
however, in advance. that many of the
sugar percentages found this year are
largely in excess of last years yield.
Tho enormous yield of nearly IS per cent.
of sugar has been given by average
samples of bcets raised from seed fur
nishcd last spring by the Oxnard COM
pany. of Nebraska. Several other
varieties are yielding from IA to 16 per
cent. of sugar.
The experiments of three years make
it easily safe to say that the soil and eli
mate of South Dakota are easily adapted
to the growth OF sugar beet for sugar
purposes.
Any farmer addressing Prof Shepard,
chemist of the station, Brookings, S. d.,
will receive in return full printed direc-
lions covering all points of required in
formation. Reports Of analysis when
complete will in all cases be returned to
the party sending the beets.

From the Upper Country.

Hon. a. +. Parker, the indefatigable
pencil pusher of the Idaho FREE Press,
arrived in town on a freight train last
night, having been detained all day at
Staibuck owing to the regular Spokane
train having been stalled in a snow drift
north Of Colfax. Brother Aaron is from
Camas Prairie, in northern Idaho, and
reports plenty Of snow in his section but
no severely cold weather. The FIRST snow
fell December l0.h, and it has remained
on the ground ever since. Cattle are
doing well. and it is only IN the last few
days that stockm have been gathering
them from the range to prepare for feed
Ing if the winter continues: The wind
removed the snow from all exposed
points and as the grass is the best they
have had for years range cattle have had
plenty to eat. and are looking remarkab-
y well.
The snow in the mountains is very
deep and placer miners are jubilating
over the prospects Of an abundance OF
water. after hard experience OF two dry
summers. The ranching communities
also feel good at the prospects for the
coming season as there is no frost in the
ground and the thirsty soil will absorb
the moisture from the melting snow
thus ensuring, with any rain at all in the
growing season. an abundant crop.
Mr.. Parker reports the outlook for an
active year in quartz operations in his
county as being very fattering, and he
says the whole of central Idaho from the
Seven Devils region clear through tc
Warrens, Alton, Buffalo Hump and Eli
City districts. and on to the Montan,
boundary line is on the eve Of develop
ment into the richest. most productive
and most extensive mineral zone il
America. IL is a region of surprisin,
natural wealth, a veritable treasure
house of precious mineral and once oper
a,ions are CON mmenct d. 8 forward pro
gress will be astonishing.-Walla Wall,

The Stock Raising Industry Not Keeping

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-"We believe in
higher beef and pork. and are trimming
our sales that way" said George II.
Webster. OF Armour & Co. to-day.
Pork and beef have risen during the
last two weeks. aud will go still higher.
We expected higher prices during the
last year than those which prevailed,
but various causes operated to keep of
the advance. 1t has now come to stay.
Beef and pork will be higher in 1891
than in 1890. Why? Well. there is q
constantly increasing consumption with
out a corresponding increase in range
production.
"Are exports increasing?"

year. 1t Is home consumption that 10

One Of the boldest robberies on rec

of the 9th Of January. About ten
O'Clock in the forenoon a stranger en-
tered the Elite faro game in which a
man by the name of Burns was dealing.
Betting dollar on the game the strang-
er lost it, and sat around until the play
ers all left and there was no one but the
dealer and himself in the room. Then
the stranger arose and drawing a revolt
yer told the dealer lie must have 5000

dealer gave up the money. In making
his escape the robber shot the door

LIE IDAHO CO., IDAHO TERRITORY FRIDAY FEBRUARY 1890

We asked every man in town this
week what the news was. Everyone
id their wasn't any and we came to
the same conclusion ourselves.
The supreme court of Montana has
decided that the republican claimants

probability give the U. S. senators to
the republicans.
Mr.. Il. A. Horning. father of Frank
