Magnesite Found.

Custer, s. D., Jan. 23.-A very inn
pCrtant mineral find has lately been
made at two places in this county. One
at Pringle station, twelve miles south of
this place, the other seven miles south
west 1t is the mineral magnesite. AT
Pringle fully three feet of ore is exposed
in verticle ledge of gold and copper
bearing quartz. The vein is known to
be thirty feet in width, and as yet neither
wall is exposed. The other find is also
in gold bearing ledge, but is not yet
developed enough to determine the
amount of magnesite. Heretofore this
mineral has only bee found in America
in paying quantities in California. Meg
nestle is used in the manufacture of
nitro-glycerine explosives, and is en-
ployed as a bleaching agent in the manu-
facture of paper from wood pulp, for
which purpose tits found to be both
cheaper and more effective that chlorine,
used in the manufacture of steel by the
basic process. An artificial article is
made from dolomitic limestone. Colcined
magnesite is now worth in New York
500 to $47.5O per long ton of 2,24O
pounds. The crude article Is worth
S1450 per long ton.

Minneapolis, Jan. 22.-Reports from
Chicago, where the Guarantee Invest
ment company. has been undergoing All
investigation at the hands of the receiver,
T.. J. Hurley, shows a condition of af-
fairs that speaks volumes, without the
addition of any explanations. The liabil-
tiles, as shown by the receivers report,
are $55,000,0OO, the total assets being
$40. 1t was at first expected that the
furniture in the office would amount to
more than the amount given above, but
half an hour after the receiver made his
report he was informed that by virtue
of chattel mortgage on the property it
could not be included as an asset. Many
pIc?rinent persons in Chicago hold bonds
against the concern, but they are worth
less, and within a few days even the
office will be closed in order that the en-
tire assets may not be eaten up in office
rents. The company, however, owns
100000 in good bonds deposited in Mis-
souri,, and an effort will be made TO get
a receiver appointed at the latter point
in order to make these assets available
in wiping out the Indebtedness. 1t is
claimed that there are at the present
time $50, 600 bonds outstanding.

Pine Land Examiners.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-An additional
list of Chippewa pine land examiners was
given out at the interior department to-
day. These appointments, it is presumed,
were made because the present men in
the service were not considered compe-
tent to do all the work. Two Minnesota
men were appointed as examiners out
of six named. Their appointments are
doubtless due to Minnesota influence.
Two Wisconsin men are named, and
probably Commissioner Lamoreaux Sc
lected these. The other two are from
the South. The list of appointments fol-

COasting Accident.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, Jan. 23.-A very
bad accident happened last night to a
crowd of boys who were coasting on
Grand avenue in this city. About eight
boys were on a bob coming down the hill
when they were met by horse and
cutter going up. The boy who was
steering saw that collision was inevita-
BILE and turned to the right. At the same
time the horse turned to the left, and
the result was that the horse was thrown
from his feet upon the load of boys.
The force of the collision and the fall and
scramble of the horse caused serious if
not fatal accident to Barney Seigrist,
causing conclusion of the brain, breaking
Harry Webb's leg, cracking Dan Her
rings skull and bruising more or less the
rems ining boys. 1t has not yet been de-
cided where to place the blame. The
