The Endeavorers convention was to

the homes of the city will be thrown
open for the overflow. There is no such

Irrigation IN South Dakota.

Yankton Gazette: The Gazette en-
gagged in personal talk with Honorable
John ii. Baldwin last evening in rela-
ton to the irrigation question. He has
always been an enthusiast upon the
question. He believes that the outlook
for irrigation was never brighter than
at present and thinks our people have
been too impatient of results. The very
apparent failures in South Dakota are
the beginnings of great success. South
Dakota irrigation. he SAYS. is no dream,
but certainty, and the supply is ample
to put water upon every acre in the
state He himself this year grew upon
sod land irrigated so bushels Of wheat
per acre, So bushels of oats which weigh
80 pounds to the bushel. and potatoes
which nettei lin $25 per acre after pay
ing all expenses. he has looked up ir.
rigation the world over, and finds among
other illustrations large tract in India
which was once overpopulated, out since
the introduction Of irrigation the popu-
lation has bsolutely doubled and is
selfsustaining. There is hardly limit
to the possibilities of South Dakota with
a system Of ofirrigation.

A Promised Mining Boom

There is promise of great activity in
the near future in the development oi
the mineral resources of the far west.
The Denver Republican says that there
is an improving inquiry from the east
for mining investments and while eau.
ton is being observed by those who
are looting up such investments. so that
they may be sure of what they are do.
ing, still the tendency to put money in
to mineral properties is growing and
that paper says it will not be long until
evidence Of the approaching boom will
be SO clear that every one will see it..
There is no reason to doubt this The
mineral resources of the west are yet
far from being fully developed. There
are fine properties that will pay hand
some dividends for years TO come.
There are undiscovered treasures which
will make those who find them wealthy.
The world still demands gold and it
will continue to take silver in moder-
ate quantities. Why. therefore, should
not mining investments be attractive
to those who have idle capital. AS
suming that our Denver contemporary
has good ground for its forecast Il e
promise is a welcome one. A mining
boom will help not only those states
that have mineral resources, but all
the west. The capital will make itself
felt in Nebraska as we'll as in Colorado
and its benefits will be widespread
All the people of the west will take a
lively interest in such an outlook

Money in Mining.

Ii. Eilenberg received news yesterday
that another rich strike had been made
at Ragged Top in the Black Hills, at
which place he has mining interests
His brother, Morris Eilenberg, is heavily
interested in mining claims at Ragged
Top. Ragged Top is situated twelve
miles from Deadwood. A Deadwood
paper states that on one claim three
foot vertical seam of ore has been struck
which comes to within few feet Of the
surface, samples of which assay over
$500 ton Mr.. Eilsnberg felt very
jubilant over the news, believing it
argured well for all Of the claims at the
camp He himself has interests in three
claims, which his brother recently pur-
chased for him. His brother is more
largely interested.
Mr. Eilenberg told how his brother
got started in the mining business. He
said: "My brother Morris worked in
this city for three years as clerk in my
tailoring establishment. He is well
known in this city. A little over year
ago cent him out TO Deadwood with a
stock Of goods for tailor shop. One
day he sold three suits of clothes TO
three miners. / suppose the clothes
cost him about S64. Their retail price
was about $50. Instead of paying cash
The men offered to paw for the clothes
in land at Ragged Top. My brother
accepted the proposition, and / suppose
the miners thought they had found an
easy mark. Inside Of few months my
brother had made $1,000 out of the
claims, and then cold his interest for
another 81 900 He was rather too hasty
in selling, for the claims today are
probably worth $4,000. However, he
cleared $4,000 on the deal, and that was
pretty good. He has abandoned the
tailoring business and shipped the goods
back to me. There is more money in
mining just now. Ny brother has ex.
actly 1000 in gold cash land away in
the First National bank of Deadwood
He started out there without cent and
that is more money | guess than has
been made by any Sioux City merchant
this year. believe if the present pros
poets at Ragged Top develop, my brother
will be worth 100000 at the end of an.
other year, and then l will make him
quit the business Sioux City Journal

senatorial fight is increasing in bitter

the interest of Kyle.
A special TO the Times received last

However, Senator Wolcott is both able
