The Madison correspondent of The

editor Of The Darlington Republican,
as one worthy and we'll qualified to
head the Republican state ticket in
Wisconsin next fall. Mr.. Monahan
Is an able and consistent represen-
tative Republican, and The Democrat
Is not going to say that he would not
make as good a governor as Wiscon-
sin ever had. On a high tariff, calam-
ity platform he would be the logical
candidate of his party. Should Wis
consin, by chance, take such a back
ward step as to elect Republican
governor, The Democrat would like to
see Monahan get the job.

South Dakota law makers, during the
coming legislative session, should be
alive TO the fact that, many Of our state
laws are unwise, imperative and a dead
letter so far rs their enforcement is con-
cerned. Instead Of enacting numerous
new laws, in accordance with rule Of
the past, for which there is no plausible
excuse, their attention should be largely
directed to expunping from our statute
books a goodly number Of those which
have been previously enacted In the
matter Of making new laws it should
first be clearly determined that there
exists a public sentiment demanding
snch laws, which may always be consid-
cred a safe guarantee of their enforce
inent. II has been pertinently said that
there Is nothing so utterly useless AS
dead law, and granting this to be true,
there is broad field open TO our state
law makers for legislative business i'm
this direction, and il is the hope Of
large per cent of their constituents
that they may, in this respect, act In
accordance with their wishes.

Ranpant Reds,

A late Salt Lake special TO the Omaha
Bee says: Gov. West received letters to-
day from the sheriff and other officials of
San Juan county, Utah, asking for as
sistance in driving out 500 Ute Indians.
These Indians have come over from the
Los Pinos agency Colorado, bringing
with them 10000 sheep and 1000 cattle.
They state that they were sent by In
dian Agent Day, who told them that
they had right to occupy these lands.
They have driven the settlers from the
grazing lands and announce that they
will fight rather than return to Colorado.
About 800 Navajo Indians have also left
their reservation in this territory and
seem to have formed an alliance with
these Utes. There are not sufficient
white settlers in the country to cope
with the Indians. They are in q bel.
fgerent mood and the settlers are great
ly alarmed. Governor West immedia-
tely notified the secretary of the interior
and asked that troops be sent to drive
the Indians back to Colorado.

The new mill on the Holy Terror
mine is now IN operation, and the ac-
counts are favorable for the success of
the enterprise There has been much
said concerning the wonderfully rich
character of the ore found in this mine,
and yet, il is a fact that but little ex
citement has been created thereby be-
yond the limits Of the district in which
the mine is located. The southern Hills
has not recovered from the effect of the
mining swindles that were perpetrated
in her earlier history, and it may not be
consistently expected that reports of the
discovery of mines of fabulous richness
in districts where such infamous
schemes have been played upon the
unsuspecting mining investor, should
be readily credited. The Holy
Terror has now reached that critical
period in it history, when the real
standard Of its merits may be determin-
ed. II has mill in operation. This is
the crucial test under which the reputa-
tion Of so many reputed valuable mines
have been ruthlessly shattered, and we
srdently hope this mine may be suffici-
emily fortified to bear it. In any event,
it may be accepted as fairly certain.
that the outside world will never imbibe
the belief Of the high degree of merit
claimed for mine until it is conclusiv-
ely shown by actual production. En-
thusiastic talk, and high colored news
paper accounts will have no effect
whatever in the matter Of convincing
an incredulous world of the value Of a
mine in the southern Hills. 1t is the
bona fide product of the mine that tells
the tale, and upon this alone must all
mine owners in the southern Hills de-
pend. Years of experience has served
to strengthen us in this belief.

Gold Galore.

The first clean up of the new five
stamp mill Of the Holy Terror mine at
the Keystone camp on Sunday last,
fairly demonstrated the phenomenal
richness of the ore of that promising
mine. The run was a short one, only
twenty eight hours, during which time
about twenty eight tons of ore were
miiled, from which was obtained the
sum of $3.50, estimating the value Of
the retorted gold at sl7 per ounce,
which is believed to be under, rather
tan over its actual value. The mill
resumed operations Immediately after
the clean up, upon ore Of similar char
acter, of which there is said 10 be a
large quantity in sight, and reports re-
ceiyed OIL Tuesday were, that the plates
indicated no diminution in the value Of
the ore, and that the next clean up
wonld equal the first one in the average
return of the ore treated.
The ore thus far has yielded more
than 800 per ton, which will doutlees
have the effect of attracting much at.
tention to that rising camp, which
promises to become, at no distant day,
one Of the best, if not the best gold
camps in the west. The theory so long
advanced by certaia constitutional
croakers Of the Hills, that there were
no gold deposits in the southern Hills
that could be operated at profit, may
now be safely sat down upon as deu-
sion, false creation of the prejudiced
brain Of sectional or inks who, even now
when the evidence of the fallacy oftheir
theory is so plainly apparent, may not
be capable of seeing merit in a mine
located beyond the boundaries of the
district in which they happen to be To-
Gated.
The success Of the Key tone camp,
now assured, is great victory for the
southern Hills, and marks the advent Of
IL golden era, which will, in time, attain
to productive standard unrivalled in
the history Of Black Hills mining. This
is our settled conviction and candid
prediction. Wait, and watch the re-
suit.

Custer Is Hig her.

A few evenings ago Oscar Silver and
Will Barringer were conversing about
the altitude of Lead and the southern
Hills. Finally bet of the cigars for
the crowd, six in all, was made, by the
former gentleman that Custer City was
higher than Lead Barringer imHsdi-
ately took him up and il was agreed to
leave il to Harry Wilhelm, of the Times
to decide. Here is his decision, accord
ing To which the cigars are on Barringer:
Replying to the question Of altitude OF
Lead City and Custer City, il is 5,ol9 feet
above sea level at the corner of First
National bank of Lead, snd $500 feet al
the b & NJ. depot. Custer.-Call.
If Lead is correctly reported aboye,
Custer is the highest town by 33l feet
as the altitude Of Custer Avenue, the
principal and central thoroughfare, st
the First National bank corner is $50
::eet. Custer is the highest town in the
Hills. some Of the higher elevations
within her charmed limits being $3.50
feet above tide. Clusters altitude Is in
keeping with her expectations of future
prosperity, which, based upon her ex-
ceptional mineral and other resources
are also several points higher than thai
Of any other town.

The Burlington's New Short Line.


The Burlington Route is notable ex
ception TO the general run of western
railroads. During period when rail-
road building in this country has been
almost at standstiil, it has beer .teadi-
ly pushing forward its northwest ex-
tension and now takes much pleasure
in announcing its completion to Billings,
Mont. S93 miles from Omaha.
At Billings, connection is made with
the Northern Pacific Railroad and, un-
der traffic agreement with that COM
pany, business of all classes is exchanged
station on or reached via the Northern
Pacific and Burlington systems.
This New Short Line-for that is ex-
actly what it is-reduces the distance
between Omaha. Kansas City, st. Louis
and the territory south and southeast of
those cities, on the one hand, and Mon
tana, Northern Idaho and Puget Sound
points, on the other. all the way from
80 to 473 miles. 1t thus becomes an
important factor in bringing the vast
scope of country served by the North
ern Pacific into closer relationship with
the Missouri and Mississippi Valleys.
Just to illustrate things: The New
Short Line saves
29i miles between Omaha and Helena,
22I miles between Omaha and Butte.
81 miles between Omaha and Spokane,
81 miles between Omaha and Tacoma,
40 miles between Omaha and Seattle
The New Line has been constructed
in a most substantial manner. Excel
lently ballasted. laid with the heaviest
steel upon more than the usual number
of ties, it equals the best and oldest por-
tions of the Burlington systems.
People whose opinion is worth hav-
ing, pronounce it superior TO any new
track ever built in the western states.
The train-service will consist of Pull
man Palace Sleeping Cars. Reclining
Chair Cars (seats free), and Standard
Burlington Route Day Coaches, Omaha
and Lincoln to Billings daily.
As Scenic Route. the New Line takes
high rank.
The rich farms Of eastern and central
Nebraska the more sparsely settled
country that lies between Ravana and
the boundary line separating Nebraska
and South DAKOTA; the canons, peaks
and swelling meadow lands of the Black
ills, the wonderful Devils Tower,
the irrigated districts of northern
Wyoming; Custer Battlefield; the pic
turesque windings Of the Little Big
Horn the glorious valleys of the great
crow Indian Reservation-all these are
seen from the car window.

service, rates or other features of the

THE BARTLETT PROCESS.
| The Bartlett Process Reduction and
! Mining Company, who are now COM
! pleting their new mill OF Gillette. Col.
orado, express much confidence in their
ability 10 solve the problem Of the
successful treatment of the low grade
gold ores Of Cripple Creek. The com
pany's prospectus says: THE ore is
ground by means ofheavy hollow rollers
In which cannon balls revolve. The
roller revolves in a circular steel pan,
there being series ofrollers and pans,
and the rock in passing from pan to pan is
ground TO powder far finer than that OBJ
tanned by any other system Of stamps or
rolls. The most minute PARTICLES OF free
gold are by this means separated from
the rock. The powder is treated by the
means of chemicals which amalgamate
the free gold and take into solution a
quantity Of combined gold. Under the
ordinary method of treatment, large
quantities of gold are lost from the rust
ed or creased surfaces or from combina-
ton with gangue matter. These condi
tions prevent the gold from adhering TO
the mercury covered plates, but in the
Bartlett process this is entirely obviated.
The treatment of free milling ore will
cost 30 cents ton. The charges made
viii be SO, and from 20 per cent of the
assay value up will be paid tot he own
ers. The Bartlett process will pay the
mine owner 81 net on $40 ore, and the
delivery Of the ore 10 the mill will be at
an additional cost Of from % cents
TO 81 per ton. As the mill will work
100 tons of ore day the profit Of the
process over any mill will be readily APP
preciated. More refractory ores will
require roasting, but the percentage of
saving will be greater. The charges on
this treatment will be 81 per ton. An
important feature of the mill will be
complete rotary roasters, which will
have capacity for handling 100 tons u
day. This can be done at cost Of
about 10 cents per ton, and Will add
largely to the saving Of gold that other
wise will pass off in the form of tellur-
ides, or combined with the sulphides Of
