Of general discussion during the past

understood by the masses. Bob Bur-

lucid explanation Of its important feat

simply means and explicitly declares
that nc foreign nation shall some over

that England and France shall not hang

Never has there been anything sUg

hal 1898. Since the government has re-
cognized the undertaking and has voted
100000 for its building and exhibit it
has become an assured fact
In order to make the exposition q sue

1t has been suggested that a rate be

the publishers of The Weekly Bee have
decided to make price Of % cents for

January /, 1897. This price hardly
covers the cost of the white paper used
in printing twelve page paper for this

that the great exposition must be prop

their share toward helping along an
enterprise that is bound to be a great
benefit TO this state. as well as TO the

In replying to an article recently ap-
pesring in the Aberdeen News, in rela-
ton to the building of railroad from
the Twin cities to the Black Hills, the
Pierre Free Press has the following
"If it had net been for the several un-
fortunate complications that have over
taken the Northern Pacific company
the road from Oakes would have been
extended long ago to Aberdeen, Pierre
and the Hills. Pierre once had an iron
clad contract with this company to COM
plete the road, and at another time had
such assurances that there was no
question as to the good faith of the
company in the matter. But unfortun-
stely, at the very time when it seemed
to be within our grasp some mishap
would befall the company its stock
would sink to the minimum, there would
be changes in its management or it
would go into the hands of a receiver.
An evil or unlucky fate has seemed to
follow Pierre and the state generally in
securing railway connection with the
Hills. 1t ia not going too far to say that
there is nothing that would prove Of
such great and lasting importance TO
South Dakota as the completion of this
line Of road from Pierre to the Black
Hills. All other enterprises in CON-
parison are almost Insignificant. Now,
however, the project is in the hands of
strong and influential friends, not only
in this state but in the Twin cities, who
are bending every effort towards its ac-
complishment. A railroad from Pierre
to the Hills has been an actual necessity
for the past fifteen years. The failure
to have one has retarded the develop
ment Of the state az no other cause
could, and has cost its people untold
hardship through lack of communica-
tion."

mine that is the best thing for the coun-

WILL DOUBLE THEIR CAPACITY.

Inc Golden Reward company OF
Deadwood has decided TO double their
milling capacity and consolidate all
their interests in one large corporation.
Harris Franklin, president and general
manager of the company, returned
yesterday from Chicago, says the Times
of the Srd inst, where he has been for
the past week in consultation with his
new associate owners of the property.
At the meeting it was decided to double
the present milling capacity of the
works, by the erection of new building
of modern design, in which will be
placed the latest and best machinery,
required in the chlorination method.
1t was also decided to consolidate all
owned or controlled by the
parent company. into one large corpora
tion, TO be known as the Golden Re-
ward Mining ard Milling company.
Other matters of importance were con-
sidsred and will mature in good season.
AS soon as the necessary plans and legal
formalities are completed. work on the
new building will commence. 1t will
in all probability occupy site adjoin-
ing or in the vicinity OF the present
mill. When the consolidation is affect
ed the new company will have absolute
ownership of over 900 acres of valuable
mining land, situated in the heart ofthe
siliceous ore belt, that will produce
many millions Of dollars. Included in
this 900 acres are the Plutus and Bottle
son properties, which will be taken and
paid for on or before May 10th. on
which date the option expires. Mr..
FRANKLIN stated possibly the transfer
will be perfected on the 5th or 9th.
THE CARTER MINE.
The property known as Carter's mine,
two miles below Elk Creek, is undoubt-
sdly the best free milling prospect in
the Black Hills. The ground was locat-
ed in 1877 by a fellow named Carter and
Thos. Tisrnsy, brother of the Tierney
