Chamberlain, S. D., Dec. 19.-The lit

the cave before it was surveyed, and
held il as a squatter, made final PROOF

South Dakota Mining company nled a
protest in which ii was alleged thar

register and receiver of the RAPID City
land office investigated the matter n
decided in favor of Mcdonald, as the
investigation showed there was no min
eral bearing rock to be found in the
place. although colors of placer gold
as well as other mineral traces were
discovered. The case was hen carried
to the commissioner of the general land
office. After taking exhaustive testi-

land was neither agricultural or miner

application for patent. The commits

McDonald's original entry. Both par
