The County F. & L. L. held its
quarterly session OF Mexico Jan. 26,
1894. The county sub unions were
not all represented, and there being
but little business to transact was in
session half day only.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
RESOLVED, That we favor the i'm.
mediate issue of 500, 600, 600 oil
treasury notes; the same to be used
in payment of salaries of government
officials employed. The same amount
to be issued yearly until The circu-
lation reaches $50 per capita; said
notes to be legal tender for all debts
both public and private, except U.

Resolved, That we consider such
an act on the part of the govern
ment the first step toward creating
an unnecessary and uncalled-for
burden on the people for all time to
come, and reducing us to the level
of the peasantry of Europe, and we
condemn such an action as be-
trayal of the trust of the people
and ask all patriotic citizens to join
with us in exposing this act in
language not to be misunderstood.
Resolved, That we still favor

Configuration of the Hills.

A sensational confgurist has been
confguring upon the external formation
of the Black Hills to the extent Of four
colnmns in last weeks Buffalo Gap Re-
publican, in which he advances the
theory that all Of the mines Of value are
confined 10 what he denominates the
great mineral belt. which he says Is but
litue more than one mile in width,
extending from the vicinity OF Spear
fish following u line due southeast TO a
point little south Of the center Of Gus
ter county south Of the Harney range,
passing through Carbonate, Central,
Lead city, Bald Mountain, Nevada, etc
etc, OH down through Silver City, Pac,
tola, Bockervilie, Keystone, Eta, Spo-
kane, and out into the tumble and
prairie. He asserts positively that there
are no mines outside of this belt, and
further, TO make the matter more bind
ing, that there never will be, which
latter proposition may be reasonably
considered trifie raw, taking into con
sideration the unlimited Possibilities oi

eral belts This modern geological

Condemnins the School.

Fhe populists Of Lake county at tbei.
late convention passed resolution
condemning the State School of Mines,
declaring il a useless and costly expen-
dlture Of state money and demanding
legislation looking to its abandonment.
The Deadwood Times commenting upon
the resolution. says:
In the course Of human events there
may be things transpire gotten up by
our populist opponents which even the
Times would favor sud the above is
one. We have always held that the
school Of mines as at present located
was Of no account whatever, and that
either the school should be moved to or
nearer the mines, or else the mines to
the school. Pop or not, the Times
econds the resolution.
The CHRONICLE, appreciating the i'm
portance Of such an institution when
suitably located and properly managed,
does not indorse the resolution. While
II has been apparent to all that the
Institution has been seriously handi-
capped in its important Object by reason

measure of its benefits have consequent
ly been notably limited, we submit that
its abandonment could not be otherwise
than seriously detrimental TO the min
ing interests Of the Black Hills. The
important object for which the institu.
tion was established may only be fully at
tanned by its removal to some favorable
location on the mineral belt, and while
such removal would incur no small
expense, we feel assured that in view Of
the large benefits 20 be derived from its
relocation, that the outlay would be
fairly warranted. By its abandonment
we at once sacrifice all hope of the
realization OF the benefits contemplated
in its establishment by removal We
secure them, hence We oppose abandon
ment and favor removal.

part il not indeed all of the baggage.
The first proposition made by the pops
Was, In substance. that the democrats
should nams the county portion of the

only. But his would not do because II
would leave out three OF their promi-
nent men, viz, Dawson for clerk Of
courts, Donahuc for sheriff. ard Smith
for treasurer or something else. So the
pops are now demanding those three
Offices In addition to the legislative.

Hay Creek Booming.

ID. 1. Drake, right Of way man and
coal expert for the Burlington & Mis-
souri, came in yesterday afternoon and
a reporter Of the Pioneer was the recipi.
eDt Of the following news. He has been
at the coal fields and has located a town
called Griggs, named after the efficient
lawyer and poet laureate Of the B. q NJ.
The new town lies between Barrett's
and Nix's coal fields, and the incorpora-
tors are: d. T. Drake, Tobias Castor.
l.. X. Graves, Dan Bak r, f. VI. Wester-
welt. Immediate steps will be taken TO
plat out the land and lots will be put
on the market as soon as possible. The
coal mines lately acquired by these
gentlemen will be fully developed, a
diamond drill being already on the way
out here. The company is backed by
the greatest road in the country, and
whatever is done will be on a large
scale before which all other efforts in
that line will pale Coal il there in
good quantities and all that is wanted is
WIG hVNt5Sdfy "efh to of,cu up the
largest coal country in the west. This
is what the company will do, and there
will be work open here close to US that
will make this the Newcastle of tie
west. Cheap coal for the various re-
duciion plants will bring down the
prices charged for working the rcfrac-
tory ores Of this country, and fuel for
the household will come within the
means Of everyone. Deadwood will
benefit by this move, and il will not be
very long until we have reduction plants
all over the vacant ground below and
above our city. Cheap fuel is what the
country has needed for some time as
the timber on the hills will all be used
for timbering the mines that are each
day being opened. Carpenters, miners
and all other artisans will be given em.
ploym ment, and the good times so long
looked for are now in sight. This en-
terprise will have the good wishes Of
everybody, as it will be the means Of
further advertising our grand country.

South Dakota Wool Growers


Our wool growers must sell their wool,
as well as mutton, for about one halt
the price received under Mckinley
protection, and all products Of the farm,
partake alike, with the general depres-
sion in prices, of what we have to pro-
duce, while not single article that our
farmers have to buy, is ,essened the
least in price. And yet in the face OF
all this, our demo- populist Senator
KYLE, states in his Aberdeen speech,
that he is entirely satisfied with the
tariff bill. Surely it is high time the
republicans Of Sonth DAKOTA should
awake TO the necessity Of standing by
the republican ticket aud absolutely in
sure no more such mistakes as the
election Of Senator Kyle. Had this
bunder not been made there is scarcely
doubt but that the late tariff fight
might have been different. Had South
Dakota's junior senator fought side by
side with Mr. Pettigrew. against the tariff
bill. our wool growers and farmers might
have been protected and the trusts and
monopolies would have reaped a smaller
harvest at the exDense of the people

We notice that the people are not quite
