BLACK HILLS TIN.

A Chicago special of the 9th instant
contains the following interview with H.
Seton -Karr, a member of the English
house of parliment and one of the direc-
tors OF the Harney Peak Mining COM
pany, whose interests are in the Black
Hills of South Dakota, is authority for
the statement that there are 5000 tons
of tin ore averaging p per cent. in sight
and on the dumps at the mines at Hill
City.
'tThe numerous denials from different
quarters to the effect that there is no tin
in the Black Hills do not alarm us in the
least, for we know what the mines can
produce" said Mr.. Seton-Karr when at
the Hotel Richelieu yesterday.
"Our mill will soon be on the ground
and soon after it's erection there 500 tons
of the ore will be crushed every day. The
block tin which the mill will turn out
COuOd1nS dO pol CC1us Va uhO puAO AAChoA
We have not yet determined where the
smelling is to be done, but the block tin
will probably be shipped to Omaha fol
that purpose. The persons who have
been talking about there not being any
tin at Hill City will soon discover theil
error, for we shall soon be producing
pure tin. A large quantity of it will bt
shipped to England despite the outpu
of the Cornwall mines. Large quantitie
of the block tin as well as the pure meta
will be shipped across the water.
"Mr. Childs, the mining expert refus
ed fattering offer from the Anaconda
Mining company to accept a position
with the Harney Peak, and if he did no
know that our mines are all that hav
been claimed he would have accepted
the Anaconda's offer"

sTINKING WELL WATER.

Occasionally people in this vicinity
are troubled with bad water in their
wells and are at loss to know the cause,
hence the following lengthy bulletin is
sued by the experimental station at
Brookings, this state, will be read with
considerable interest by those who have
been annoyed with poor water:
Perhaps no other question has been
asked the chemist OF this station 80 fire.
quently as: What causes the evil odors
that occur in SO many well waters OF this
sectionf~
ssThis bulletin is now issued to answer
once for all that question. The investi-
cation was begun over two years ago
and many facts in relation to this pecu-
liar phenomenon have been collected.
"some wells give off these odors peri.
odically. Some wells go through the
change but once while others are moi
thus affected at any period. In all
cases black sediment was deposited in
the well.
"a well that was undergoing thit
change was selected for experimental
purposes and from time to time analyses
were made OF the water and of the blacl
sediment found In the bottom OF the well
It was found that when the change wal
at its greatest activity that the waite
carried an unusual amount OF organi'
matter and that the odor was due to sui
phuretted hydrogen and perhaps Il
some compound OF that acid with one o
more organic bases. The water had /
peculiar greenish blue tint and foamel
strongly when poured from one vessel y
another and was extremely nauseatinl
in its taste and odor.
/ The sediment was composed OF sand
clay, oxide Of iron, iron pyrites, bits {
glass and remains OF various insects an
other material that were probably drifte
in by the wind.
Starting from these facts series {
Il experiments were begun to ascertain jul
Sturgis advertiser. (Sturgis, Dakota [S.D.]) 1887-1???, 1891-08-13

how the evolution Of tho bad odors was
inaugurated. OF course It was plain
that the sulphur gasses came from the
iron pyrites but just what liberated these
gases was not so evident. Several sup
positions were advanced and experiments
were carried out to test the truth or fall
sity Of each supposition.
Several TASKS we're taken and in each
different flask we're placed different ma
terials which might have produced the
odors. But one OF these faske merits q
description here. In that flask were
placed some iron pyrites, some good or
dinary well water and some pine tea,
made by stepping some ordinary pine
shavings in the same well water. The
flask was carefully corked and suspended
by the neck from nail driven into the
labratory wall.
ssThe contents OF this flask were ex-
amined every two or three days and
about once week the flask was shaken.
No change was noticed until two
months and week had elapsed. At
this time odors became apparent. In
about one week more all the character
istic odols were developed to marked
degree. Moreover the water assumed
the peculiar tinge and exhibited the phe-
homenon of frothing noticed in the ordi-
nary wells undergoing these changes.
In about two weeks more the change
was complete and the black sediment
was deposited. The other TASKS gave
negative results with different materials
and this indicates that the odors we're
caused by the action OF wood upon the
iron pyrites found in the soil in which
the wells are located. The investigation
was carried still further and it was found
that any organic matter such as grass,
insects, etc., will bring on the change.
'It is now easy to avoid these odors
altogether. But the following precau-
tions must be observed: The we'll must
not be curbed with wood. Use stone OF
brick all the way up if possible. If the
expense is too great then use stone OF
brick till above the water level. Do moi
use wooden pump. Use an iron pump
and see that the top of the well is care
fully sealed up SO that no organic mate
rails may drift in.
4 "The question frequently is asked
what effect pumping much water out o
the well will have. Both pumping and
cleaning viii have beneficial effect bu
the only sure preventative is to keep al
the organic matter out of the WELL"

THE PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO.

Omaha Daily Bee: After 800 years
servitude of the most debasing character,
in which he was treated as chattel, sub
iect to barter and sale in common with
the brutes of the farm, revolution oc-
CURED and out of it the black man OF
America emerged freeman. He was
ignorant, oppressed and believed himself
to be of an inferior race. The ambition
with which ages of progress and liberty
had inspired the Caucasian, and the in
herited thrift which makes the Anglo
Saxon strong everywhere, were wanting.
He was despised, penniless and had no
training which seemed likely to make
him useful in any but menial occupa-
tions. To cap the climax of surprises
for the blackman and increase his dan
gers and difficulties, he was given full
citizenship in the republic without tuition
and without previous instruction in the
duties thus imposed. 1t was a great
social experiment and it has been both
evil and good for the race.
In the face of these difficulties, in the
midst of their former owners, and sur
rounded by men whose race prejudices
were the growth of centuries, and almost
left to themselves by the general govern
ment, the black men and women of the
south have accomplished wonders. The
negro has not been failure. He has
improved his time in the last twenty
years as no other race in history has i'm
proved it in the same number of years.
In spite of hostile environment the de-
spised negro has emerged from the squal'
or of the cabin, the cringing submission
to the lash aud the entire absence oi
intellectual opportunity and business ne
cessity to manhood which inspires the
respect of every well meaning and well
informed person in the country.
Y There were 100000 black men in the
civil war, but there was not one educated

THAT is the Amount Of Exchange sturgis
Issued Last Year.
During the month OF July the comp
troller Of currency called for statement
from all national banks showing the
amount of exchange issued during the
fiscal year ending june 30, 1891, the OBJ
ject being, presumably, to more accu-
rately determine the money centers Of
the United States There were three
classes Of the exchange, the cities Of
Boston, New York and Chicago COM
prising the first class, and other reserve
cities the second class and all other banks
the third.
The total amount issued during that
period by the First National OF Sturgie
was, in round numbers, $500, 900 which
represents perhaps about half the bust
ness of the town. It is quite probable
however, that these figures do not begin
to cover near half OF the exchange
sent from this place, as there are the
Western Bank and Trust company, the
express company and the postoffice, be.
sides great amount of paper that is re.
ceived here, endorsed and returned east
without any record being made of it by
the banks.
This is certainly a good showing fol
a town the size of Sturgis when the
fact is taken into consideration tina
crops have been very much below the
average for the past three years in thu
country tributary to the town.

Should Act upon the suggestion.

Times: In conversation with General
Passenger Agent Buchanan, OF the Elk
horn railroad, a Times reporter was in
formed that an excursion party number
ing from sixty to eighty people, win
visit Deadwood toward the latter end OF
the present month.
BY agreement between the two roads
the party viii arrive over one and depart
over the other road, remaining in Dead
wood only for day or two. just when
the party will arrive was not ascertained
Fact that the competing roads havt
agreed to share the excursion, embolden
ed the Times man to state that people d
Custer, Hill City, Deadwood, Lead
Whitewood, Sturgis, Rapid, Buffalo Gal
and Hot Springs have in mild way
endeavored to induce the companies Ii
sell excursion tickets good for round
trip through the Hills, out over one and
back over the other road. Mr.. Buchan
an replied that he had heard something
of the matter before, and had gives
| it some consideration. More than thi
he declined to say and left the scrib
with little encouragement that the plal
suggested would be carried out.

The North Dakota railroad commits
sioners and the local elevator companies
have not been able to reach satisfactory
conclusion in regard to the enforcement
of the new elevator law of that state
which provides for daily return from
each public elevator to the commission.
This the elevator people consider i'm
practicable because many of their agents
are not book keepers. They also object
to the arbitrary reduction in storage
rates on the ground that no margin of
profit will be left for doing business or
fair interest returned on the capital in
vested. 1t is claimed that the only way
out of the difficulty is to convert all the
public elevators into private concerns.
This course will propaply be adopted,
though no definite conclusion has been
arrived at as yet

THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.

Minneapolis Tribune: It is hard to &C
count for the agueish feeling, financially,
which exists in New York, and, in
consequence, extends more or less to the
financial centers OF the west. The gem
eral condition Of business is fair, while
the prospect was never better. Agricul-
ture, that source of all wealth, is flourish
ing in every branch. Crops are enor-
NOUS, prices good and land, especially
in the west, advancing. There is, We
venture to say, more individual prosperi-
ty than ever before in the history OF the
country. Trade is reasonably active in
all lines, wages good, new Industries are
being developed and if there ever were
healthy signs of progress for the West
ern Hemisphere it is now. What pecul-
lar condition exists to excite timidity or
to occasion uneasiness therefore is a
question worthy of philosophical research.
There is no doubt that the attitude of
the calamity associations, organized on
the basis of partial or entire reputation
of obligations, public and private, has
it's deleterious influence, but it is hardly
sufficient to account for the magnitude
of the mistrust. The financial condition
of the Old World may have more to dc
with it for it cannot be denied that af.
fairs are in bad shape there with ten.
dency to worse; but, with the exception
of England and Germany, the interests
of this country are not very closely allied
to them, and disaster there would effec
us but slightly.
Hard times abroad may effect thu
markets for our exports somewhat, and i
may throw back upon us securities which
will tax our resources; but to large ex
tent our exports are of necessaries tn
consumption of which cannot be stoppet
but only diminished in comparative
slight degree, and no conceivable bust
ness depression there can prevent tn
prosperity which the favorable condition
in this country make inevitable for tn
next few years.
Business is on the upgrade! 1t can
not be turned backward though it ma,
be retarded. If capital is shaking owe
organizations of men who seek new path
to riches it will grow easier when it see
the west turning out its vast treasure
of wealth and marching along to prosper
, ity in the old fashion. The country ha
entered on an era of great financial sue
cess. It is inevitable and we may q
well recognize it and clear the way.
