NO FLIES ON CUsTER's LEGIsLA-
TIVE DELEGATION

Custer has reason to be proud Of her
representatives In both branches of the
state legislature this year. Thornby has
long since proven himself one Of the
ablest and most energetic men in the
senate, and Scanlan is getting his share
of the laurels distributed in the lower
house. OF the last named gentleman
the Pierre correspondent Of the Sioux
Falls Argus-Leader. says;
"one 0! the mos. leysl-hesded men in
the house is Scanlan of Hermusa, in the
Black Hills. Mr.. Scanlan is young man
but is possessed of a frank, cordial
manner and good address. He is an
effective speaker and an energetic and
successful worker. Being a democrat
he would not be expected to exert a
wide influence in such an oyerwhelm-
iRgly republican body, and yet no man
on the floor has done more for good
legislation and no man is listened to
more closely. Mr.. Scanlan's skill and
his courteous baarins we're shown well
in the fght oyer the worlds fair bill.
The bill as reported said nothing about
the political complexion OF the commits
sion. Mr.. Scanlan moved as an amend
ment that il be divided among the three
parties in the legislature. He handled
the matter skillfully and gracefully,
stating that he had the fullest regard
for and confidence in the fairness and
good faith of the governor and the re-
publicans in the legislature, that he did
not for moment question their intent
to be just and even generous, but that
some people might perhaps doubt the
policy of democrats and independents
voting for a measure in which they
were not definitely secured. and he
therefore would ask that the division be
specified. His speech was gracefully
put and was accepted in the same spirit,
and the amendment was unanimously
adopted. While of a quiet disposition
Mr.. Scanlan is an earnest and able
worker and has added many laurels TO
the democratic crowd"

question, Holmes to be appointed a
committee OF one to change the bill in
this respect. When the measure was
put on its passage Scanlan's attention
was diverted and on reading the en-
crossed bill over after its adoption by
the house he discovered that instead of
making the scheme depend upon the
consent Of the people Of Ziebach in ad-
dition to the others, as bad been agreed
npon, the bill gave the voting privilege
10 Ziebach alone.
When this became known to Mr.
Thornby and the other men who had
been backing the measure there was q
lively stirring up Of dry bones. They

A Little Preyioua

Chamberlain, S. D., Feb. 1.-THE at
tempted filing by homesteaders on the
land granted the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul company for right of way across
the ceded Sioux lands to the Black
Hills promises to cause considerable
trouble before the matter is ended. The
above company was granted the right
of way at the time the Sioux reservation
was opened TO settlement, the agree
ment being that the railroad would
have the line built and in operation be-
fore the expiration of three years. The
three years expired yesterday without a
foot of road having been constructed
during the three years just past, and in
consequences many settlers believed
there was good opportunity to secure
farms on the choice portions Of the
land granted the railroad company for
right Of way and terminal facilities. A
640-acre tract of railroad land on the
Missouri near Brule agency and lSS
acres adjoining this city on the north
were considered the choicest portions Of
the land forfeited by the Milwaukee
company, and ii was upon these two
tracts that the squatters settled most
thickly, every 100 feet square having
settler. These settlers had their filing
papers in readiness and Immediately
upon the opening of the United States
land oGice in this city this morning
they crowded the building In their
efforts to be the first 10 teHder th..r
homestead filing, hat as the "iie,-i. n-i
-4ol been officially notified or thv -Gs
fsiture of the land BY the railroad com
pany filings were rejected and a list
made Of ths names of the settlers in the
order of their attempted filing. The act
granting the railroad company the land
gives it a right of way to the Black
Hills aud twenty acres Of ground every
ten miles on the right Of way for station
purposes. The grant is very valuable
one and the company has expended
fully $4,000 in surveying it, and it is
believed that a vigorous fight will be
made before the company permits it to
revert to the public domain. The law
provides that the forfeiture Of the right
of way must be made known by procla-
nation of the president. and as the
three years have expired efforts will be
made to induce President Harrison to
issue the proclamation before the 4th of
March. Should this be done the settlers
will be permitted to file on the land
under the homestead law. The Mil
yaukee company applied to congress
last winter for an extension of time in
which to complete the road to the Black
Hills, but the congressional report at
that time said congress rejected the ap-
plication. The matter will certainly
become very complicated before it is
definitely settled.

L@as wesb IR JSIcLE gave its read
ers Shat i. sHeN 10 be the true reason
for the temporary suspension of work at
the tia mill and in the mines. Within
the last three or four days our state
meats have been corroborated by one
made by Supt. j. s. Childs, which was
given to the public by the Rapid City
Journal. Mr.. Childs made the state
ment to re-assure the insurance COM
panies which were carrying heavy risks
on the mill, and the following is the gist
Of what he said:
"He stated that the tin INDUSTRY was q
decided success, the mill working per-
fectly l.. saving every particle of tin.
and that the ore from the mines not
only proving of a paying class, but pay-
ing beyond anticipation. The superin-
tendent stated that the entire trouble
which caused the temporary suspension
was due TO eastern stockholders inter
fsring with the management of the CON-
pany and he therefore thought il advis-
able to suspend work until the matter
was finally adjusted. He felt confident
that the company would be able to re
sumo operations within very short
time on a more extended scale than has
been heretofore worked"
Mr.. Child's assertions will settle all
doubts ia the minds Of those persons
whose enthusiasm seemed to be little
on the wane, and should silence the
croakers, who haye delighted in going
about With long faces making all sorts
of dismal pred ictions.

II WIN be Grow. sure Enough.

Even those who have felt the least
enthusiasm concerning the tin industry
of the Southern Hills. are quick to re
cognize the injustice of the attitude Of
the Engineering and Mining Journal.
The Deadwood Pioneer, commenting on
the E. & NJ. J. editorial, which We
quoted in last weeks issue, says:
"The mill was not in operation long
enough to practically demonstrate the
commercial problem of tin mining in
the Black Hills. The Pioneer still be-
lievss that, with proper management,
sEasre are number Of tin mines in the
Black Hills that will pay reasonable
interest on the investment. Conditions
favorable to tin mining in the United
States may result almost any day. Tho
price Of pig tin may advance; q duty
may be imposed on imported tin. or the
countries from which We receive our
tin supply may be involved in q war.
The men who made the low
grade ores of the Homestake and asso-
ciste mines pay dividends. could also
make the Harvey Peak tin mines pay,
and there are other men just as capa-
BILE as they are. Withhold your criti-
cism or you may be forced to diet on

bratsd Spokane silver mine, about eight
uiles in rect line from Hermoss, on
the head Of Little Squaw creek, near

rock carries from $50 to $500 to the ton.
Twenty-iour pounds of the rock return
ed nearly two dollars Of free gold, and
in addition there is quite a per cent Of
refractory ore in the rock. The owners
have purchased and are now setting up
a two stamp mill which they will have
in operation in about two o. three
weeks. The lead has been traced about
1900 feet. Last year Mr.. Adams. who
is himself wealthy mine owner Of
forty.two years experience, was here
looking over the mining prospects Of the
Southern Hills. He then gave 1t as his
opinion that the Southern Hills would
become one Of the richest metal produc-
ing sections Of the United States. The
fn1ing OF the mine mentioned shove
would seem to be confirmatory Of the
views expressed by Mr.. Adams.-Her-
mOsa Pilot.

The Farmer and Politics.

The prosperity of farmer to day de-
pends more on the methods he employs
than on governmental rule. Take seeds
for an example: Many farmers who
are alive TO their own interests in other
things are careless in buying seeds.
They seem to think that seed Is q seed
and there it ends. If there was more
knowledge about seeds and greater care
exercised in their selection, there would
be richer crops and better returns. Re-
alizing this, d. NJ. Ferry & Co., the
famous seed firm Of Detroit, Mich, have
embodied in their illustrated Annual
for 1898, much valuable information
about seeds and their selection. 1t con-
tains the knowledge cleaned from many
years experience in the seed business.
and the newest and best things about
gardens and gardening Such a book
issued by firm Of unquestioned relia-
bility is of the highest value to every
one who plants a seed Although the

The eastern papers which continue TO
assert that the recent Indian outrage
was the result Of a drunken row among
the cowboys and reds, are doing the
murdered men q rank injustice, and
while il cannot affect the victims Of the
tragedy. it does affect their friends and
relatives. Two of the young men who
were killed were out looking for horses,
which had strsyed away, and they stop
ped at the cabin to spend the night.
None of the four had any whisky In
their possession, nor had they encount-
cred the Indians that day or evening.
The Indians responsible for the crime,
committed it simply because they hated
all white men on general principles.
They found four of their natural enc
mics asleep and helpless, and the villains
improved the opportunity to murder
and pillage. The Indians themselves
have adaitted this, and every circum-
stance goes to show that 1t is the truth.
A sheet which at this late date, viii
state as facts the wild rumors which
were circulated two weeks ago, isn't
worthy the name Of newspaper.

The west has always been noted for
its daring aggressiveness. Not once,
but often, have its people lent their
energies to what seemed impossible
undertakings, and achieved success
where failure seemed inevitable. 1t
remains for Denver, however, to make
proposition most astounding, and pre-
pare for conflict that will prove inter-
esting, no matter how it may terminate.
The citizens Of the Colorado metropolis
are asking that their city be made the
national capital, and unless appearances
deceive, they are in dead earnest. Some
very prominent and influential men are
guiding the movement, and an active
compaigu will soon be commenced
Just think of it How prepostsrous !
The seat of the national government re-
moved from the refined ana polished
east to the wild and woody west. Won't
there be a shaking up of dr. bones,
though ,ifthe removal forces should make
winning fight. Speaking seriously, such
change is not among the inpossibili-
ties. The city of Washington has been
left behind in the march of the empire,
and point more centrally located. and
easier of access, will have claims that
cannot be ignored in the future.
