The Subjugated Master.

AS you wall, in company with a man of
varied Information and general intelli
gence, except in believing that he keeps II
dog, when it is patent TO all unprejudiccd
minds that the Cog keeps him and makes
him his slaye-as you walk, say, with
such Il cCmpauion the flow of talk will be
arrested, the point Of story lost, by the
vagaries of tho dog He is nowhere to be
seen and has to be whstled for,
Again and again is the whistlng re
peatcd But not until even the slayish
masters patience is nearly exhausted does
the obedient creature come bounding
round the corner, his tongue lolling out
and laughing expression in his eyes
His triumph is complete. He has made
master and friend await his pleasure and
afforded another instance of the subjugat-
ing power of dog over man. -" Pen and

The Denver Times of the 10th said (:
Professor Carpenter of Deadwood, the
noted metallurgist, arrived in the city
Yesterday morning, and will spend @
few days in looking over the mining in
tereSts at Leadville, Cripple Creek, Vic
tor and other Of the important mining
camps Of the state. Professor Carpen
ter, it will be remembered, went to
South Dakota about ten years ago and
founded the school of mines, and made
that institution one Of the leading ones
in the United States. After Gevoting
some time to that work he went to the
Black Hills and is now the manager of
one of the leading smelling and reduc-
ton works Of that locality"
The Times errs in the statement that
Prof Carpenter founded the school of
mines, that institution having been in
existence prior to the period of his first
connection with it. For the further
information of the Times it might be
proper to state that, the Black Hills
region is located within the limits OF
the state of South Dakota, and while il
is fact that the school of mines is not
located on the mineral belt, it 10 never
theless fact that il is situated within
twenty-five miles of Harney Peak, tbs
center of the mining region, and that
as the Professor was already in the
Black Hills. he did not necessarily have
to leave South Dakota to go there. II
is possible that the Times has imbibed
the error. prevalent throughout the
east, that the Black Hills form part oi
the state of Colorado.

Senator PETER. who has been promi

Senator Peffer, who has been promi-
nent in the ranks of the populist party,
who has evidently been scrutinizing the
hand writing on the wall, is now ad-
vocating the organization Of a new
party, which he declares necessary for
the contamination of work which other
parties are unwilling to perform. He
favorc new party fresh from the peo-
pie, made up Of men of courage equal to
their convictions, and built upon q
foundation deeper and broader than
free silver or bi-metalsm, as he claims
that these terms express nothing that
reaches the core of the troubles which
confront us. He suggests as The motto
of the party, "Let the People Rule" and
a platform based upon six pillars: LIST,
Get the people at work. and pay them
for what they do. 2nd. away with land
lordism. 3rd, out with the transporta-
tion monopoly. 4th, down with the
money power. 5th, up with the people.
9th, live the republic. And there are
gooa.and snbtantial reasons TO believe
that g part Of the plan which, for pru-
denial reasons, he does not express
openly, is--Peffer for president.

The Deadwood Pioneer says it was
the postoffice, and not the census, that
was stuffed, which the CHRONICLE is not
prepared to refute, but, as a matter of
fact, look at the matter as you may, the
reduction of the postmaster's salary in
the face of an increase Of about seventy
five or eighty per cent in the population
of the town since 1890, would naturally
lead one to the cold conclusion that it
was the people who were being stuffed
by the Pioneer, and We therefore defer
any apology for the dirty slur" until a
recount has been made, and the alleged
claim of that town being second to Sioux
Falls in population, has been fairly and
satisfactorily shown.

Sylvan Lake.

g. NJ. Farley, of the Madison Outlook,
in his write mp OF the late excursion, Of
the South Dakota Press Association TO
the Hills, thus refers to Sylvan lake.
Sylvan lake lies snuggled in among
the great needle rocks OF part of Gods
wonderland. Towering hundreds OF feet
in the air are the great bare rocks, and
at their base lies closely snuggled this
placid lake rock-locked from the winds.
The road TO the lake from Custer, lies
up an ever ascending, pleasant valley,
the slopes Of which are covered with
spruce, hemlock, and birch. All around
you echoes the song of the bird; the AR
is scented with pine, and ut the bottom
of your throat you note the rich fruity.
delicious flavor of the pure air. Inc
tally-ho coach winds an echoiDg roua-
delay at every hill slope, and along the
roadside you look to see the startled
deer plunge throught the braes and
bracken. At the ridge of the road you
get a glimpse Of towering hills still fur
ther atield, and further on the majestic
Harpey Peak looms up in solemn gram
deur. Away IN tie distance the placid
slopes of the hills lay like tho bi!lo~s.sI
the ocean and a deep solemnity, and an
awe OF nature creeps upon you. How
little do the arts of man appear when
one is confronted by the works Of great
Mother Nature, built upon such stu
pendous scale but steep decent brings
you to the back of tie towering cliff, at
the base of which you must alight. and
walk through great fssure in the rock
to the steps Of sylvan lake hotel: Here
il nestles at the foot of the cliff, hayen
for the weary pleasure seeker. Near
here, after a walk through the woods of
two mi,e one comes to the great Ca.
thedral Park, named from the rock con-
fgurations which assume the shape Of
Cathedral towers. From their submits
the prairie country away to the east, for
a hundred miles, is visible"

A Woman,s Trust.

A wide extended and most popular
and powerful trust of the day is the
trust of the Ameican house-keeper in
the Royal Baking Powder. The manu-
facturers of all other baking powders
and the purveyors of adulterated food
haye combined to break it in vain. 1t
is as unshakable as the foundations of
the earth Because it is founded in the
actual experience of years of practical
use. This trust has a reason for its ex-
istence. 1t is in the superior purity and
wholesomeness Of the Royal Baking
Powder over all other similar goods as
shown by the official analyses, and in
the economy in its use because of its
superlative strength as found by the
tests Of the government chemists.

Harvey Peak Region.

The Durango Colo Herald gives the
experience of a citizen of that place in
the interesting region named in the
above caption:
Chas Benson, who has been spending
a few weeks past in the Harney's Peak
tin region of South Dakota, was q pass
enger on last evenings train from Dem
yer. He came back with a good sized
sack of specimens from the mines of
that section.
He and few friends have secured a
valuable gold property not far from Hill
City, formerly known as the Harney's
Peak group. A mill test of over three
hundred tons of the ore gave return
OF 81 800 There is good hosting plant
and three compartment shaft on the
property and preparations will be made
for systematic work as soon AS the de-
tails of negotiation are fully consummat-
ed.
Mr.. Benson brought home specimens
of the Harney Peak tin ore, which is
claim Il carries about 81 per ton in gold
in ADDITION to large percentage of tin.
An English company is credited with an
expenditure Of 100000 which has
been used in acquiring extensive terri
tory, estimated to be thirty miles square,
building mammoth mills and erecting
expensive residences. hotels. boarding
houses, etc. An extended litigation With
Boston parties has just been terminated
in favor of the Englishmen, and Mr..
Benson thinks within another year the
district will be the scene of great activi-
| ty.
He saws il is the hottest" section be
has seen anywhere Everybody seems
to have money, and good mines are by
no means scarce. He mentioned half
dozen or more that he visited, which
were each netting owners oyer $3.50 a
day. The famous Homsstake mine is
making an output of $500 tons of ore
daily, some of which runs az high as s.
a ton, as the ore is mined and milled for
considerably less than $I.50 a ton the
enormous profit can be readily calculat-
ed. Mr.. Benson says there is no boom
and that people take these results OF
mining as a matter of course. They do
not seem to care whether people come
in or not He seems we'll satisfied with
his trip and as soon as he can dispose OF
some work he has in the La Platas ex.
poets TO return and arrange to do consid.
erable work

A late Cheyenne, Wyoming dispatch
to the Omaha Bee states that fears are
entertained of a general uprising of the
Bannock Indians in the northwestern
part of that state, large number of
whom are already donning their war
paint and threatening the lives of the
settlers, who have notified the governor
that serious trouble is imminent. The
settlers are much excited over the situa-
ton, and are arming themselves to meet
any emergency which may arise. 1t is
probable that troops may be ordered
out to protect the settlers.

The ore differs in character from the

the gold and silver they are heavy with

of Tin City lodge, which be visited

he was greatly pleased He departed
on Wednesday for Hill City and the
northern Hills.
Mrs. I. NJ Donaldson, her children
and Miss MAY Stanhope re.uraed on
Wednesday from few days visit at Hot
Springs. Mrs ID. visited the Springs
with a view TO the recuperaiion of her
health through the medium of the
thermal waters Of that place, and ex-
pected to remain during the month, but
being accustomed to the cool stmos-
phere of Custer, the contrast was little
too marked, and the result was speedy
return with the expectation of visiting
that popular sanitarium later on, when
the mercury seeks lower point in the
thermometric tube.
There is full grown rumor afoat to
the effect that the Elkhorn Railroad
company has finally decided to build
branch from Belle Fourche to the Hay
creek coal banks. The company has to
have the Hay creek coal for use on the
western divisions as it has found the
Colorado coal pretty costly. The Hay
creek coal is just as good as some Of the
crack Colorado coal that costs s6 or
more laid down here. The Elkhorn
company has made a number OF
tests with the Hay creek coal and we
are informed that ten tons Of it will
run train farther than the same guam
tity of Iowa coal and do as good work
as Colorado coal. We hope the rumor
is true and that the branch will be built
a. once, Good steam and domestic coal
laid down in Deadwood and Lead at SO

to the mining and milling interests.-
