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

VIM Cave has reached the interesting
stage. Mcdonald, the man who located
the cave before it was surveyed, n
held Ii as a squatter, made final proof
In June, 1895, claiming the land as ag-
ricultural land. A few months later the
South Dakota Mining company filed a
protest in which 1T was alleged that
minerals existed On the property. The
register and receiver of the RAPID City
land office investigated the matter and
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 ether mineral traces We're
discovered. The case was hen carried
to the commissioner of the general and
Office. After taking exhaustive testi-
mony on both sides he held that the
land was neither agricultural or miner

application for patent. The commits
sioner, however. omitted to pass upon
McDonald's original entry. Both ar
ties are, of course, dissatisfied with this
sort Of a decision, INC both have now
appealed the case to the secretary of the
interior. A decision is awaited with
great interest, as the a v is equivalent
