The Bald Mountain News has set its
seal Of disapproyal upon the policy of
the organization of a mining exchange
at Hot Springs. The News opposes the
schsme.upon the grounds Of the remote
location Of the place from the mines,
and alleged lack Of knowledge on the
part of its promoters as to the proper
method necessary to be observed in
conducting the same. The paper further
says that. such movement would be
an infringement upon the rights Of the
mining fraternity, an insult to the dig
nifty of mine operators and disgrace to
the business men OF mining centers.
The CHRONICLE has already expressed
the opinion that the enterprise, II prop
erly conducted, would result in some
measure of benefit to the Black Hills,
and, notwithstanding the strong protest
Of the News, still entertains such opin-
ion. The CHRONICLE does not regard
the location of such an enterprise as
being matter of any material impor.

ready had sample Of the methods
adopted by experts in the business in

remains with US az an unplea SAINT
memory. Many Of the residents of Hot
Springs are personally interested in our
mines, and all Of them have q general
interest in the development Of our
mineral resources, and it may net be
consistently feared that methods would
be employed in the conduct Of the en-.
terprise that would be detrimental to
the best interests Of the people of the
Hills, of which they form an important
part. We have only to reitsrats in
conclusion, that an enterprise of this
character properly conducted at Hot
Springs could not prove otherwise than
beneficial to the Black Hills region, and
that especially during the coming tour.
ist season, it is more than probable that
large number Of outside capitalists
would become interested in our mines
through this medium, which would not
only bring capital for their develop
melt, but be the means of bringing
them more prominently before the

DAKOTA, SATURDAY,

Concurrent resolutions recognizing
the beligerancy Of the CHbans, have
passed both houses Of congress, creating
feeling Of almost universal satisfscs
tion in this country, and temporary
ebulition of anger on the part of the
people Of Spain which has been re-
markable for its violence. So bitter has
been the feeling on tho part Of certain
classes of the Spanish people, that II
has required the utmost viglence on the
part of the government officials to pro-
vent overt acts Of violence toward the
Representatives of our government. The
prominent officials of the Spanish gov
srDment seem to have kept their heads,
and while they doubtless realize the full
force Of the resolutions, and harbor .
feeling of the bitterest character against
this country, they evidently realize the
wisdom of a proper degree Of discrstion
in this instance, and will wisely refrain
from the commission Of any act that
would have . tendency TO bring on .
war which could only result in disas-
trous defeat to Spain.
