from Commissioner Day, regarding the

Of that, that our constitution prohibits

The reported gold strike in the Bad
Lands is seriously questioned by reliable
mining authorities. the prevailing for

A late Butte City, Montana, special
notes rumor at that place of the sale
of the great Anaconda copper mine to a
London syndicate representing the
Bo.hschilds. The price is reported at
$25, 100000.
Work has been in progress during the
week on the newly discovered silver
deposits, six miles southwest ofthis city,
q mention of which was made in our
issue Of last week. The ore is reported
10 be improving in quality as greater
depth is attained, and there are valid
reasons for the belief that in this dis
covery the owners have bonanza. No
returns are yet at hand from the ore

Nickel and tin, gold and silver. iron

learned "the lay of the land" 1t has
been severe experience, but i. had tc
be endured sometime the sooner the
better.
1t has been learned that there is sure
prosperity in live stock throughout a
vast domain in which several years oi
drought have made grain raising, ac-
cording to the Iowa method, a ruinous
failure. This has been demonstrated
beyond peradventure. 1t is a great
sheep country. There is none better on
the continent. Precisely where and
while crops have been annihlated by
drought sheep have prospered. Now
there are thousands Of little bands o.
sheep. II is likewise grand home for
horses. There is certainty Of profit for
the farmer in these and similar lines.
Capital is taking courage as the facts
arc becoming understood abroad az they
are in South Dakota.
The marvellous results of investigation
into the artesian reservoirs which
underlie extensive arid areas have open
ed up new certainties by indicating new
methods OF agricultural profit. The
artesian we'll has been cheapened and
made practical. In the dryest district
in the dryest year that South Dakota
ever saw an unfailing fountain can now
be made TO gush by shifting the rock
with the drill and il suffices not only
for live stock, but also for the purposes
of all necessary agriculture by so-call-
ed irrigation. Drought, when 1t comes,
can be overreached.
In short, the campaign has been fairly
opened which will make that region in
South Dakota beyond the line OF abund-
ant rain fall empire of immense pro-
duction and of prosperity. The Journal
expects to see il one of the richest live
stock sections on the continent. nor does
it expect to have long to wait TO see il so.
The natural conditions and the necessary
methods being now well understood,
progress will be rapid-more rapid than
generally expected.
All the indications are that this year
of 1891 the people of South Dakota will
make a long march In their grand new
campaign.

A Year of Progress.

The following, taken from late issue
of the Sioux City Journal, fairly outlines
the glowing prospect of South Dakota's
rapid progress during the present year,
and is deserving of the widest publicity:
There is no doubt that South Dakota
Is making more substantial progress this
year by far than in any previous year in
its history. The Journal speaks of the
| new state as whole.
The crop prospect could not be
! brighter. The eastern and earlier set
tied counties have Of course made steady
progress during the last four or 1--WE
years, for they for the most part have
had pleanty Of moisture, and have pro-
duced remunerative crops with the same
regularity as the adjacent counties OF
northwestern Iowa. This year the later
settled counties, where drought and hot
winds have annihilated crops for a
series of years, give promise of liberal
yields. The ground is thoroughly soak
ed, and this is what has been needed.
But the Journal does not refer partic-
larly to these things, encouraging as
they are to all who are interested in the
prosperity of South Dakota, but to the
mofc important fact that its people are
at last adjusting their methods to the
peculiar conditions of their portion of
the northwest. This is the vital thing.
1t has taken them good while TO find
out what to do and how to do it. It is
the history Of all new countries.
The fact is that thousands upon thous-
ands went to South Dakota foredoomed
to failure in any event. Even II the
conditions for farming had been the
same as in Iowa and Illinois, thousands
! would have failed. They had not the
funds and resources to carry them
through. Thousands took up land who
knew little or nothing OF any kind of
farming--young men from the towns
further east, clerks, school teachers aud
even girls. The wonder really is that
the series OF droughty years did not
completely depopulate the newer and
more arid countries.
Many practical farmers from the
states further east were deceived. They
did not understand the country They
tried 70 farm a. they had done "a Iowa
Repeated failure exhausted their re-
sources, and in some cases brought them
to privation. II Is to be remembered,
| too, that many of the competent Mariners
who settled in the dryer districts were
| poor 1t the start.
But the experience of the last fiye
years has been invaluable. fIt has
brought South Dakota to q soliil. sure
land permanent basis. The people haye

SILVER STRIKE
Sprando returned Saturday from the
company mine, Bullion, in the Galena
district, where very rich strike was
made last Thursday revealing a vein of
lead, carbonate and galena ore six feet
wide and three and one-half feet high
which assays on an average seventy-five
ounces in silver and forty per cent lead.
Two cars are now on the dump at this
mine ready for shipment to Omaha.
The present strike is considered the
largest ever made in that camp. s. A.
Flower is president OF the company that
owns the Bullion mine and Sprando
superintendent. Large chunks of the
rock are on exhibition at Hotel Harney
here and at the Keystone at Deadwood.
