T. B. Rollins and his brother have struck
an eighteen foot formation of coal, ten
miles west of Minnesota, on the north side
of Hay creek valley, There are five veins
of pure coal in this formation, ranging in
thickness from eight inches to two and a
half feet. These gentlemen tunneled in
at the base of a mountain upon bed rock,
and undoubtedly have the best prospect
for the largest find of coal yet discovered.
The new discovery is attracting consider
able interest here, and the parties album
dainty able to develope this ind are look
ing over the ground with the view of be-
coming interested.-Minnesela Star.
The Harvey Peak company now have
about one hundred and fifty men in their
employ in the Immediate vicinity of
Hill City. The work moves smoothly
along without friction or jar. all the mines
being developed continue to show good
ore. The company will begin continuous
work OF ten Or twelve mines not hereto
fore worked, Immediately and there will
undoubtedly be plenty for everybody to
do. All indications point to year of I'M
exampled prosperity for Hill City.-Hare
Miner.
Ed Hazeltine, of Glendale. was in town
last Saturday. He informed the Miner
in making cross-cuts at the bottom Of
the shaft of the Glendale, the miners
what they supposed to be the main
ore chute. 1t is a large body of very rich
ore. The vein is forty-fve feet wide.-

rnn 1NnErNNpENT MovEMENr:

There is no denying that there is
growing sentiment among the farmers
aud knights OF Labor in favor OF indie
pendent political action, and that OF
the most radical kind, viz, third party.
While we believe that unless existing
parties speedily meet thedemands OF the
people, the third party is bound to
come, we do not believe in forcing the
issue. In this movement for the eman-
cipationof thepeople.there areloyallead-
iny spirits with widc-awake earnest fol
lowers, ready to do and dare. They
see clearly the burdens under which the
people labor, and they would at one
blow strike Off the shackles. We glory
in their courage, but question their
judgment. Reforms are not brought
about in a day, much fruit is ruined by
early plucking. Ii the people have slept
long under their burdens. so will they be
long in awaking. A small body OF earn
est alliance men i'll q community a by
consistent, persistent work, in time edu-
cate the whole community, but before
that time is fulfilled they may shout
ever so loud and pass resolutions by the
yard, but they cannot depend on the
support of their brother farmers. Be-
fore decided action is taken on the third
party movement, it is well to know from
whom the demand comes. Is 1T from
would-be politicians who have failed OF
success in their own parties? a new
party would soon be burdened with
enough OF this stamp, without being
launched at their dictates. Does the
shout come from democrats, who from
their party being in the minority have
nothing to lose and all to gain, OF
from republicans who have become free
traders and single tax men and yet dis
like to Join the old democratic party
whose principles they espousc? Suppose
: we agree on the necessity OF the move
ment, can we agree on the platform OF
which we shall work? Would our dem
ocratic brother expect to bring his tar
: if doctrines, and our republican fricn(
his protection? Can we agree on tenn
pcrance and woman's suffrage? II cacl
will insist on his pet theory, then. tn
parties may as well remain as they arc
/, where these issues arc well defined. Th
writer has enlisted for the struggle, ant
is willing to be governed, not by
county or district, but by the action c
the state alliance in convention assem-
n bled. Until such action is had, he mus
l declare against a third party and yet il
. favor OF independent action. If TIL
: farmers and Knights OF Labor are ;
unit, they cal by independent action
largely dictate the course OF both par
ties. 1t is argued that the party caucus
will offset all benefits that may bt
gained at the polls. Kill the caucuses.
It is surely easier to kill the caucus than
to annillilate two well organized parties.
This independent action persisted in
would very soon give the people an in
dependent element in the halls of con-
gress that would. hold the balance of
power. If we cannot unite in such
action, there is surely not unity sufiic-
lent to organize, equip and lead to vic
tory a new and ul,tried host.

A farmer remarked the other day that
he had leased his place to a new conner,
furnishing everything, he to receive a
certain share. In the course OF conver-
station he said the tenant did not own
even u COW and had a large family OF
children. We doubt if the farmer fully
realized the blessing be had conferred on
that family. Alone among strangers,
and.without means, a little assistance at
such a time is OF more avail than a for.
tune in after years. How often charity
and business might be combined.

A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

1t is reported that a movement is on
foot to turn the old brewery at Huron into
a beet sugar factory and try the expert
ment of raising beets in Dakota for sugar
making purposes. Now, if the breweries
of Sioux Fails and Yankton will do like
wise and set themselves to sweeten some of
the lives they have embittered, they may
atone in a measure for the evil of the past.

Senator Moody, through the general
land office, has secured an allowance for
an additional clerk. The extra work
imposed upon him by the opening of the
reservation has rendered this necessary.
Senator Moody is not at all satisfied
with the tariff bill, 50 far as it relates to
block tin. and when it gets to the senate
he will offer an amendment, putting a
duty on it. He says that the duty on
the plate is not what his people want.
He has twenty-five pounds of tin from
the Black Hills mines, which he will ex-
hibit In the senate.-Republican.
W. would not find fault with Senator
Moody for his interest in TIN, but does
the rest OF the tariff bill suit him? Does
he forget that he should represent a large
agricultural interest? While he labors
to increase the duty on tin has he no
time to devote to lessening the burdens
OF this other class? Here is q call for
more help to assist in depicting the
treasury, and we hear his name often
IN connection with appropriations for
public buildings, but on the sub-treasury
bill, the Collum bill or Stanford resolu-
tons We hear nothing from either OF
South Dakota's senator's. The days Of
probation are nearly over. If these
asu are not consistent, cannot our
senators devise some other. It is action
the people demand.
