Chamberlain, s. d., Dec. PA e
Industry is to be added to the already
varied industries of the Black Hills.
This is a Autograph mine, and IL has
been decided to commence active opera
tions In the spring. Over two years 81
w. X. Bond discovered what he be-
lieved to be Autograph stone near Prin-
gle, Custer county He said but little
regarding his discovery, but spent a
year prospecting TO ascertain III there
was a sufficient body of the stone TO
warrant a continuation of the develop
ment. This point being favofably set
tied, he put in another year and spent
considerable money In testing the quail
ity Of the stone, interesting capital in
the enterprise n perfectlng the organ
iZatlon of a The stone has
been thoroughly tested, and its quality
is said to be found fully equal to the
best Bavarian product Through Mr..
Bonds efforts a company has now been
formed and duly Incorporated, stock
subscribed and enough paid up 10 insure
the active working OF the mine. The
remainder Of the winter will be devot-
ed TO erecting suitable buildings and
getting things In condition for active
operations in the spring, at which time
a complete plant for turning out the
finished product for the market viii be
put in. The company Is composed prin-
clpally of well known Omaha business
men. A mining paper says there Is now
only one quarry In the world f.om
which Autograph stone is taken, and
this Is in Bavaria, Germany From this
German quarry the entire world Is sup
piled, and OF late years so great has been
the demand for the stone that its price
has advanced to $500 per ton. and the
quarries have been worked until an end

sumed.

Rrnthers United,

Chamberlain, Dec. 20 Two brothers
named O'Hara have just met at the
home of one of them in Charles Mix
county after a separation OF thirty
years. They served together during the
wal of the rebellion, and upon being
discharged from the army at the close
of the war separated and lost all track
of each other. Each has tried at Ger
tain times TO ascertain the wheleabouts
of the other, but without success. Some
weeks ago the Oldest son Of Jack OHara
the brother who lives in Charles Mix
county, decided to write 70 the pension
bureau at Washington 10 see if it could
help them in their search. F"i tunate-
ly the missing brother was drawing a
pension, and his address was given as
a town on the Pacific coast. A letter
reached him there and the IN. o Z;
the brothers resulted. The Oldest son
happened to be in Armour when the
uncle arrived, and was at once recog-
nized by him as the son of Jack, al
though the young man was born AFTER
the uncle went away.

THE ISLE OF CRUS0E.
Reported By Sea Captains That It's
Been Destroyed.

San Francisco. Dec. GA few weeks
ago a vessel putting in al Lisbon after
a trip around Cape Horn, reported the
destruction by volcanic action of Juan
del Fernandez islands, famous as the
tabled home OF Robinson Crusoe, The
master claimed TO have seer the catas-
throphe from the deck of his vessel.
The report was not given credence at
the time by many scientific men and
many denials were printed In magazines
and papers. But Captain Powell OF the
British ship James Keer. now In port,
asserts that the story is generally be-
lieved by sea faring men all over the
world. The James Keer has recently
arrived from Newcastle. N. s. w,
where she vas laid up four months on
account Of the coal mine strike, Captain
Powell met a very large number of
master mariners there and says that
the destruction OF the island was COM
mon gossip among them. The captain,
himself, had not passed within sight Of
the island since 1889, when he secured
an excellent photograph of IL from the
deck OF his ship. He says that some of
the captains who arrived in Newcastle
while he was there verified the report
that the island was missing.

stroyed the New York Polytechnic hos

patients, drove a score OF families from
their homes in adjoining buildings and
did $500, 900 damages. The structures
which were destroyed were a five story
building at 211 and 2l3 East Thirty-thlrd
street, used partly as an office building,
and a big six story building at 213 to 23l,
used as u factory building.
The first and second floors of I'll to 2i3
were occupied by Kaldenburg Manu-
featuring company, manufacturers of
pipes and smokers articles. The third.
fourth and fifth floors front were occu-
pied as offices by the Sebastian SommeI
Piano company, and the rear part by
the snuff factory Of Adolph Primer. 1t
is believed hat the fire started in the
latter place.
The fire in East Thirty-third street
had been burning from G o'clock until z
o'clock before any real alarm was felt
in the Polytechnic, though the patients
knew there was a fire in the n~eighbor-
hood.
Suddenly the roof of the hospital,
which is on Thirty-fourth street, burst
into flames. The physicians in charge
at nee decided to remove the fifty
eight patients, and the Delaware hotel
rooms were placed at their disposal. A
squad Of policemen began the removal
Of sick people, thirteen children being
carried out without trouble. There was
more trouble with the adults. Patients
who should not have left their cots de-
fled the nurses and tried to escape.
None of the patients will suffer from
the change.
In the tenement house just off the
burning buildings lived twenty-four
families. The mothers and fathers
watched the firemen with indifference
from their windows while their children
played with Christmas toys. Suddenly
terror seized them as onlookers cried:
Run for your lives; the wall is going t
fall IN you"
Mothers picked up their little ones
and ran to the street. Others refused

and women down the stairs and picked
the children from the floors, carrying
them out. Most Of them were in their
night clothes and each one was cling.
