1T IS JUDGE MCGEE.
The Fusion Ticket is a Winner in the
Two Black Hills Judicial
Circuits.
THE RESULT IN OTHER STATES.
Republicans Make Surprising Gains in
Many Counties in the Eastern
Portion Of the State.

The judicial election in this city on
Tuesday was notable for it's marked
quistude, and for the lack of enth usiasn,
which usually prevails upon occasions
Of this character. The manifest lack OF
interest on the part OF the people in the
importan. matter pending is fairly in
dirated by the light vote polled, there
being only 2l7 votes cnst tinthe precinct,
which is SO votes, or 20 per cent less
than tie number cast last fall
The result in the precinct was favor
able to Wilson, the republican candi-
date. who received majority over his
populist competitor, McGee, of 2l votes,
which, figured from a partisan basis,
would indicate republican gain Of SO
votes over the election Of last fall. when
the party Was defeated by IL votes.
Following is the vote of the county
by precincts

CUSTER CITY SOUTH DAKOTA.

Spain Is notoriously insolyent debtor.
In the face Of a visible rupture with the
United States her bank doors could not
keep open six hours. The thing called
Spain is house of cards, only the to1ch
Of finger is needed 10 bring ii down in
collapse. One thing that does challenge
our admiration is the way her politi-
clans are playing their busted flush"
There is heroism of despair about it
that is calculated to touch US at our own
national game; they have bluffed out
one chuckel-headed player, but Mr..
Mckinley is a gentleman from the west.
If not himself an esortric in the sacred
mysteries, he has those about him who
are. All Ohio would cast ashes upon
her head If a favorite son of hers ia his
turn were to be played for another
Cbinanan.

A Question of Claim Location.

The following question submitted to
K. W. Raymond Of the n. Y. Engineer
ing and Aiming Journal, and his answer
thSssif4 -snenitn ;. owns s iniIs n
Arizona, the claim having been patent
ed in 1882. His claim is 600 by 500
feet and the vein is near the center and
runs nearly parallel with the side lines
Afterward a claim was located on q
vein running parallel with that Of s.
and Just outside the limits of his claim.
This vein dips rapidly toward the vein
on the patented claim and at depth of
200 feet is within the perpendicular
plane drawn through the side line of
the patented claim. Does the ore in
side the plane of this side line ION the
patented claim belong to S. or to the
locator of the claim, the apex of which
is outside the patented claim? y. u.
Warrensburg, do, Oct. IS, 1897.
If the vein ON the patented claim of
g. not only runs nearly parallel with
the side lines, but crosses the end lines
of that claim. so that there can be no
doubt as to the rights attached to it /;
and If the vein located outside, as des
cribsd, is likewise regular in its rela-
tions to the side-and end-lines Of its
location, so that there is no doubt as to
its sxtr lateral right--in other words, if
no side-issnes of irregularity can be
raised to complicate the question raised
by our correspondent-then any ore
within the patented claim which belongs
to The outside vein-i. e., which can be
traced to the apex of that yein-be-
tween the projected end-planes Of the
outside location, is the property of the
later locator. If the ore in question
belongs to both veins, it is the property
of the patentee. not by virtue Of his
patent, but by reason of his earlier loca-
tion. If it is disconnected ore body,
not traceable to either vein. its upper
edge will be a new apex, and il will be
the property of the party under whose
surface location that apex lies. In this
third case, the determination of the end
planes bounding the ownership of the
ore body will depend upon its relation
TO the end lines of the surface claim
under which it's apex lies That claim
may be either one of the two described
by our correspondent, or it may con-
ceivably be third location, altogether
distinct from these. The qualified and
incomplete nature of this answer to ouI
correspondents inquiry is partly due tc
the vagueness of the law. and partly tc
the incomplete statement Of the ques
tiun submitted. Assuming. however
that the case stated is in fact simple
one. and that the ore in question is orr
IN the vein Of the later locator, thu
answer is. that il belongs to him un
questionabiy. The patent issued TO $.
as described. win be found on exsmina
ton to contain an explicit reservation
Of all ore belonging to veins the apexe'
OF which are not in the granted tract
This reservation 10 intended to coyer
and does cover. such ore bodies as w,
snppose our correspondent to have II
mind; and consequently, as regard
such ore bodies. neither the patent o
s.. nor the previous discovery and loca
tion upon which his patent is founded
can give him any rights in the prem
lines. r. w. RAyxoSD.

GIGANTIC ENTERPRISE.
About two months ago, says Lead
correspondent TO the Sioux City Journal.
George Brettell, manager of the Black
Hills Power company, began the con-
struction Of a sawmill at the mouth OF
Annie creek. in spearfish canyon. The
mill is now completed and work has
been commenced to saw ont lumber for
the mammoth fiume and buildings
which are to be used in the operation
of one Of the most gigantic, and yet
practical, schemes ever attempted in the
Black Hills. The plan is to utilize the

in the northern Hills and furnishing
power enough TO run all kinds Of min
ing and other kinds Of machinery. The
present capacity will be 1900 horse
power, but this can be doubled at any
time when needed. 1t is calculated that
a great saving will be made to miners
and mill men in the cost Of producing
power. There are great many fair
mining prospects in the Hills which
cannot be worked for the lack Of water
where the employment Of steam would
be an impossibility. 1t is estimated
that there will be saying Of 40 per
cent in the cost Of producing power,
which will place IN operation a mum.

been idle. The company is composed
Of men from Rochester, n Y. 1t is ex-
pected that the dynamos will be in

slump In Peruvian Stamps.

New York, March 1.-The consul gen.
eral of Peru in New York has received
official notification OF an intended stamp
sale of great magnitude by his govern
mcnt. The director general Of postof-
fees and telegraphs of Peru will receive
bids in Lima from philatelistS for 1886,
033 obsolete postage and revenue stamps
issued by that South American republic.
The stamps will be sold as an entire lot
or divided up into various lots. but no Of
fer of less than $4,000 will be considered
by the Peruvian government. May 81
next is the last day that philatelists can
file their offers. A list Of the stamps has
been sent to the Peruvian consular rep
resentatives Each bid must be accom-
panied by deposit of at least 10 per
cent of the reserve price put upon the
stamps, on $500. If the bidder is not
successful, this deposit will be returned
Successful bidders will be notified, and
they will be credited with the amount of
their deposit on the amount they bid
The sale OF such an enormous quantity
of obsolete stamps is likely to play sad
havoc with the ruling prices now pre-
vailing i'm stamp collecting circles for
certain Peruvian varieties.
