An Important Decision to this Land
District.

District.
Owing to the large number of
claims filed under the mineral law
in this district and especially about
Hot Springs and Buffalo Gap, the
recent decision of the first assist
ant secretary of the interior depart
ment is of special importance.
The following extracts are taken
from the recent decision and were
printed in a late issue of the Rapid
City Journal.
In the case of Maxwell versus
Briefly no c. L. O., 2o), cited by
counsel, it was shown upon the
hearing that the land was of little
value for agricultural purposes,
and it had been returned as miner
al. 1t lay upon a precipitous
mountain side, only about thirty
acres of it could be titled or irrigat-
ed, and this was in parcels of a few
acres each. Its chief value con-
sisted in a lime stone ledge, stone
of which was used as flux in
neighboring smelling furnaces and
for manufacturing into lime. This
Department held that the tract was
subject to entry under the mineral
belt, no other stone would serve as
a flux in furnace or for making
lime.
In the case of John F. Krohn
(1o c. L. O., 432) cited by counsel,
the land had been returned as agri-
cultural, but it was in the vicinity
of valuable placer mines, and upon
the hearing it was shown to contain
valuable deposits of gold in the
form of nuggets, and that it could
be mined to advantage, and upon
this being proven the tract was held
to be subject to entry as a ..placer'
mine.
"Placers are superficial deposits
which occupy the beds of ancient
rivers or valleys" Monax versus
Wilkinson [2 Montana Rep, AL.
They are s.held and worked in
accordance with the local mining
laws adopted and in force in the
mining district where they are
located" Strange versus Ryan
[46 Cal. Rep, 33].
Valuable mineral, as gold, silver,
copper, ETC., intermingled with, OF
imbedded in, crock in place" is
called '.lodc" and the rock is
quarried, not for the stone but the
valuable mineral it contains. "sIn
placer mining land no fact is bette,
established than that the surface is
essential to its development as
mining ground" Case of Townsite
of Deadwood, Sickles Mining Laws
and Decisions, 359.
Congress seems to have recogniz.
ed the fact that a stone quarry is
not ..placer mine" and it passed
an act June 3,1878 (2o Stall, 8o),
providing for timber and stone
entries. The stone in the tract ir
controversy has no peculiar prop
erty or characteristic that gives j,
especial value such as attaches te
gypsum, lime stone, mica, marble
slate, asphaltum, borax auriferou.
cement, fire clay, kaolin or petro
leum. Its characteristic appears t.
be its hardness, and its value, il
this particular mine, appears to b,
its proximity to the town of Alexan
der, which has come into som,
prominence, having been chosen a
a country seat since the entry il
question was made.
1t is simply a quarry of stone 70
general building purposes and a
such not subject to entry as
"placer".. under the mineral law
For this reason, and there bein,
no satisfactory proof that the entr
was made for another than tn
entryman, you decision dismissin

almost de6es detection has been re-

A new and Joyous life is throbbins,
Iu the bounding pulses Of the spring,
Aud from mountain, glen and woodland.
How sweet and clear the bird notes ring.
And up from out the soft brown mold,
Tho tiny blossomed buds sre peepinS.
And the slender fingers Of the grasses,
Are over all the warm earth creeping.
In the azure dome the sun rides high,
Downward his golden arrows flinging.

For on this day long years agons,
Deaths cruel bands were asunder riven
Oh rapturous day, oh glad bright day,
When from withinthe graves dark portal
Into the fair day our dear Lord came,
Wearing his crown Of life immortal.
Oh glad bright day. glorious Easter day,
All nature cries rejoice, rejoice.
For echoing down the aisles Of time,
We hear the gentle pleading vcics.

Come to me and will give thee rest"

was cashier of the Farmers and Manu-

for a score uf years. II was deepl,
panied this morning to learn of Mr..
Kingman's suicide" he said yesterday.
II have known HIM tor almost twenty
FIVE years, and never suspected any
thing of that kind from him. If 1t had
been some or the other OH
GERS of the First National
bank I should not have been
30 much astonished. The whole aim OF
the directors of that bank has been to
make it the largest institution of It's
Kind in the country. They have sue
ceeded in accomplishing their ambi-
ton. but to do it they have had to work
every one of their employees almost TO-
death. When Mr.. Kingman resigned
about eighteen months ago he was
completely overworked, and has been
suffering from nervous prostration. III y
could have had no financial worry, for
he was in good circumstances and had
large block Of the banks stock. The
only explanation can think of Is that
lie was temporarily insane, caused by
mis- years of overwOrk. They have
built up an immense business there,
