Mr. Morgan is also state mining inspec-
| tor for this district. Touching the condi-
| ions OF the mines he said: work is going
| bettsr than it has been for long time.
More men are being employed, and more
eoal Is being shipped. This Is especially
rue Of the Newcastle, Roslyn and Black
Diamond mines. For example, the New
castle mine put out 1900 tons during No
| iour years. The Newcastle mine is now
dow 1850 feet-from $50 to 800 feet below
he level OF the sea A new plan is soon to
b adopted in working this mine. They
viii run the passages out TO the limit of
kths territory, and then work from there
hack toward the center. Thus the danger
q falling walls and all that will be left be-
hind the miners In their work. and the
safety OF the mine will be increased. A
new fan will soon be in operation in this
mins, which is expected 10 make the air
much better.
"Tnen, too, at Franklin three new slopes
ars about to be opened. So you can see
that the mining outlook here is very favor

Colonel A. B. Curtis, of Chamberlain.

oi Ex-Governor Louis K. Church. Colonel
Curtis has been for four years in q general
banking business at this terminus OF the
Chicago, Milwaukee d st. Paul railroad.
bat be finds the country offers few pros
pects and SO he has come to make his
home in Washington. "A good many
Dakotans are leaving for this state" said
be yesterday, land a number of the Scam
dinavians are returning to Minnesota. The
trouble is that short crops, droutbs. and
the severe climate make Dakota undesir-
able, and drive people out. We cannot
stand three or four successive crop failures.
When year after year q man sows several
hundred acres of wheat. and several hun
dred of oats and barley, and gets no re-.
turn, he begins TO get disheartened and
prepares 10 leave"

ing the subject, 1--WE who come from Da-

Chamberlain is right on the edge of the
Sioux reservation, and Colonel Curtis left
there only two weeks ago. I'VE we're not
a. oil alarmed about an Indian uprising"
be declared. These stories that have been
printed are very sensational. The Indians
are not going TO fight. You see how it is.
The newspaper correspondents about there
get 20 much q column tor all the stuff they
can get into the papers, and so they write
up these stories. We who are on the ground
know nothing about these uprisings until
We get the ST. Paul and Minneapolis news
papers.
