VIII start Up March J.
ONE hundred thousand dollars has
been subscribed by one Yankton man
and four New Workers for the purpose
Of manufacturing beer at Yankto ton. b.
Is. Moss of Yankton who has had this
scheme in mind for some time, has
succeeded in purchasing the old Ross
tescher Brewery, which is the largest
plant in the State, and which has been
closed since the Prohibitory liqaor law
was enacted. Mr.. Moss has associated
with him j. A. Moss and Henry Album,
wholesale grocers; Conrad Fraunn, q
wealthy fresco painter, and Henry
Schuetky, wholesale furniture
dealer, Of New York. The firm will
be known as the Yankton Brewers
Association, and will start business
March l with a paid up capital of
100000.
There are agencies in Yankton for
five foreign breweries, and large sums
OF money are sent away from town each
week to the manufacturers, and with
the hope OF retaining q great portion
OF this money the new Association has
been assured the moral support Of the
business men of this community.
A wholesale liquor house has also
been established during the past
month, and 1t is quite evident that
those who were once strongly opposed
to the sale of liquor there have
reversed their opinions and are now
willing and anxious to resume the old
order OF things.
For the State University.
PRESIDENT MAUCK has received, in
reply to letter he wrote month ago,
a communication from the secretary
OF the Smithsonian Institution at
Washington, advising him of the ship
ment for the university of large num-
ber OF publications of that institution,
reports of the National Museum, and
collection of l25 fishes. During their
visit in Chicago the president and
Prof. Todd found the officials of the
particularly sympathetic
and disposed to assist the university as
far as lay in their power Fortunately
Prof. Todd was personally acquainted
with some of those officials, having
been associated with them in scientific
Investigations. The institution for.
merly made valuable contribution tC
the university, and its assistance at
the present time is of especial value.
When drawing up the bill which be-
came an act Of the Legislature last
winter, providing for u survey of the
geology, natural history. and physical
features of South Dakota under which
act Prof. Todd was ubsequently ap-
pointed state geologist.l President
Mauck was careful to mention the
Institution, the only one
so mentioned, ~ the re-
cipient Of collections to be made in &C.
cordance with the act.
Tin Mines May Resume soon.
THE Ha ney Peak Tin Mining Com.
pany has recently begun work on q
large number of their tin claims. AS
yet no work has been commenced or
been contracted for except the assess
ment work for 1894, but it is rumored
that work will be resumed ON all the
best mines at an early day, and that
the Eta and Hill City Miues win start
crushing soon after Jan. /. So far about
two hundred men have been put to
work. Superintendent McFadden is
hiring all the men he can get.
The owners Of the Tin Bar have re-
Gently struck one of the richest depos-
it's Of tin ever found in the Hills. They
have found about four feet of ore which
will average fully 30 per cent. cassit-
erite.
There II now considerable activity
in the mica mines Of this vicinity. Re-
Gently Minneapolis and Denver parties
have secured several OF the best mines.

sided at Sioux Falls by Judge Garland

Jackson, OF Onion. City, Ind, sold
quarter section Of land, receiving .
