The Leader submits that the slow
and tedious proceedings of the late
populist convention noted in previous
issue Of this paper, was due to the fact
that no nominations were made until
after the convention had assembled
which he would have us infer TO be less
Objectionable than doing the caucus act
before assembling, which he AYERS TO be
the rule Of the republicans. Will our
esteemed contemporary explain, if he
can. the difference, so far as the purpose
and effect is concerned, betW cen a
caucus held before assembling, and one
that is sandwiched with the regular pro.
ceedings, other than the difference in
the time absorbed in executing the
Legitimate business for which such con.
vention is called? Pending the period
in the remote and misty hence, when
the line of populistic purity shall have
been drawn at the conventional caucus.
it might be advisable, and we gratuit.
ously recommend that, for the purpose
OF expediting the regular business ofthe
convention, the rule Of the republicans.
as the Leader understands it, should he
strictly observed.

OUR MINERAL RESOURCES.

A perusal of the government report of
the mineral resources of the United
States for 1898, just out cannot be other
wise than gratifying TO Black Hills
readers. Especially is this the case with
reference to the gold product of the
State of South Dakota, (which means
the Black Hills, there having been no
gold produced in any other locality in the
state) 1t is refreshing to learn from a
source of such unquestionable reliability
that, notwithstanding the marked diff
culties and Disadvantages experienced
for so many years by reason of her
isolated location, hundreds of miles
distant from any railroad, handicapped
as no other mining region has ever been
with vivid and high colored reports of
Indian scares. and back capped in all
directions by the eastern press, the pro-
gress of the region has been phenomenal.
Taking into consideration the limited
period that has elapsed since the region
was first settled and the exceptional
difficulties encountered by her people,
the fact that the state has, for the past
three years, held the third place upon
the list of gold producing states must be
regarded as both pleasing and remark
able. The total gold and silver product
of the Black Hills since 1881, TO and
including 1898 as shown by the report,
aggregates S43,si6,377, of which s42, ,056,-
400 is gold. and sl,7S9,s77 silver. 1t
may also be noted as pleasing fact that
the aggregate yield of gold and silver in
the Black Hills for the year 1898 exceed
ed that Of any preceding year, and was
$ill sos in excess the product of 1892.
The gold product for 1898 was 81 ,006, 400,
silver slSl,527, total S4,lS6.927. The
gold product Of the t. ills for the present
year bids fair to exceed that of 1898,
and if there is any such thing as reach
ing correct conclusions from fair and
impartial consideration of the circum-
stances surrounding the situation, il
may be set down as an incontrovertible
fact that the gold product of the Black
Hills will rapidly continue to increase
from year to year, until the yonng and
progressive state of South Dakota will
occupy a position first upon the list oi
the gold producing states of the union.

Mining Items.

ssOperations Oh the J. K. mine near
Hill City, have been temporarily sus
pended, pending the putting in of a new
pump, necessitated by the rapid increase
of water in the lower workings.
President Harris franklin Of the
Golden Reward Mining company return
ed yesterday from Chicago, at which
place he has been tor the past ten days.
He ordered eleven steel tanks, three
barrels, and other necessary machinery
for the cyanide mill, which will be turn
ed out and delivered in a short time.
A large force Of men and teams are en-
gagged grading for the new mill, and
good progress is being made. Work
will soon be commenced upon the build
ing, under the supervision of Otto p.
Purnell, millwright. The company hope
to have the cyanide annex ready for
operations by Oct. l.-Times 3.
THE OLD CHARLIE.
| Supt. Olds has increased the working
force at this promising mine by the sd
dition Of night force. The shaft il
now something over l30 feet in depth
and sinking will be continued until a
depth of 200 feet or more has been at
tanned. The ore is holding its own in
richness and when the point is reached
where the two side veins unite with the
main vein, it is confidently believed
that one Of the most valuable bodies of
gold ore ever found in the Black Hills
will be encountered.

Antiquiti of Smoking.

In the mortar of the tower Of Kirk
stall abbey, which fell in the year 1878,
Whitaker mentions that several little
smoking pipes" were found, showing
that the smoking of some herb or other
was in use III England 400 years before
tobacco was introduced. Dr.. Petrie
mentions that pipes of bronze for smok-
ing are often found in ancient Irish tu-
null. In the monument Of Donough
O'Brien, king Of Thomond, who was
killed A. d. 1927 and inferred in the
abbey Of Corcumrae. County Glare, he
is represented with short pipe, OF du-
deem, i'll his mouth.
It may be observed that in some very
ancient coal workings, which were
found under Lambton castle some 80
years ago, some of these very old smok-
ing pipes were found, and generation
or two ago not far from Lambton very
poor old folks might often be seen smok-
ing the common white lowered yarrow,
herb frequently found in country
churchyards. Newcastle Chronicle.

Tho Little King Ruled Wei.

Another pretty little story is told OF
the young King Alphonso of Spain. The
queen regent as is natural to expect,
has taken great pains to teach her little
son her own native tongue, German.
To accomplish this thoroughly and rap
idly she herself compiled grammar
and primer for his use. Short poems
take up good part Of the book. One
Of these especially interested his little
majesty, to the great delight of the
queen. 1t was entitled What Ono
Should Do" and ends with the line,
'Kings must rule we'll"
Alphonso learned the poem by heart
and easily, for he has a remarkable
memory. One evening, when his mother
had given him his good night kiss, he
asked as usual, cart thou content with
mo today:" When her majesty express
cd her approval of his conduct the little
fellows face frightened up for mo-
ment, and he proudly said:
eyes, ] have in truth ruled well to-
day."
