Made CounterIeIts IN Prison.

SAN Francisco. Aug. 2l.-Frank
Beal, professional burglar and all-around
crook, who has been out of prison only
four months and is on the road back
there, IS so enthusiastic in his work that
he usually continues 1t while In confne-
ment. The last time he was In San
Quentin he set up a counterfeiting plant
there within the walls and flooded the
place with bogus half dollars, ana it took
the officials so long to iud out who was
doing the work that they were ashamed to
tell the facts, and the story has just
leaked out.
Beals counterfeiting outfit consisted of
a plaster of Paris die, a crucible, and an
alcohol lamp, and he made the coins from
scraps of lead and tin foil that he picked
up in the prison shops and yard. He
made so many lead halfdollars that nearly
every convict in San Quentin had a sup
ply. and for a long time the officials we're
unable to get the least clue to the counter
teiter. One of the c~onvicts told the war
den that Beal was the coiner, but Beal
only laughed when the warden questioned
him, and denied that ne had any tools or
was making fraudulent money. His cell
and his place in the jute mill were searched
in vain, and a man detailed to watch him
could not catch Beal at work. Still the
supply of counterfeits increased.
One night a guard thought he saw a
fash OF light in Beal's cell, and quickly
unlocking the door, he saw Beal on his
knees under the cot in the act of clamp
ing theiparts Of a die together.
Beal her told how he had carried on
the work. Under his cot he had dug a
hole in one of the bricks of the floor
and fitted a piece of wood, painted red,
as a cover to the mole. In this receptacle
he concealed his tools and at night cast
half dollars between the visits of the
guards. He would not tell where he rot
the tools, and he was punished by depri-
walton of all his credits. During his four
months Of freedom diligent Mr.. Beal
has committed twenty burglaries.

Wyoming and the Black Hills to be
Connected by Steel.

Special Dispatch to The a
OMAHA, Aug. 2l.-The building of
another railroad into Wyoming and the
Black Hills which will be tributary TO the
Omaha roads, is aow an assured fact. The
road will be constructed from Rapid City
due west through the Hills, a distance of
thirty miles, to Mystic on the west side of
the Hills, where it will intersect the Bur
lington & Missouri line. From that point
it will be continued due west to the coal
mines of Wyoming, a distance of forty
five miles. The construction of the road
will be commenced on Monday, the con
tract for the grading having been let, and
the first ten miles of the road will be put
in operation inside OF two months. The
construction will be pushed as rapidly as
possible, and the road will be completed
to the intersection of the Burlington &
Missouri and in operation by Jan. / if the
the weather does not interfere. The
road has been capitalized for $4,000 per
mile, and the company is on a selid
basis and able to complete the system.
VIM. #. Coad of Rapid City is president
Of the company, which is known as the
Dakota. Wyoming Il Missouri River Rail-
way company. Mr.. Coad Is in the city
accompanied by e. D. Crouch, also of
Rapid City, these two gentlemen having
been to Chicago to complete some of the
details of the organization and are now
on their way to Rapid City to look after
the affairs of the company.
Our road will pass directly through
Silver City, which is in the heart OF
the silver district of the Hills"
said Mr.. Coad. This country has
no railroad facilities at present and
the development Of the mines is in its in
fancy, but the output of silver ore from
one source alone is estimated at twenty
five cars per day. The ore is of good
quality and a company of Omaha capital
lists is figuring on establishing a smelter at
Rapid City for handling this ore and an
other in some part in Wyoming. The
road will also pass near the
foot of the big veins of low
grade gold ore which have been discovered
in the Hills and will pass through the
heart of the lumber region of the Black
Hills. Our company also contemplate
the construction of a spur from south oil
Prairie creek to Hill City. tapping the tin
district at that point and the large copper
mines at Sheridan. 10 a word, our road
will cover the entire mineral district OF
the southern Hills
