The annual meeting of the South Da-

at Rapid City OH Tuesday, the 18th inst,
and was largely attended, all range Sec
tlons of the state being represented,
except those immediate to the Hills,
where severe local storms and impassa-
BILE roads made attendance extremely

Serious Accident.


The Rapid City Journal of the 18th
inst. has the following account Of a
serious accident at the Holy Terror mine
WORD was received by telephone
yesterday of a premature explosion oc-
curing at the Holy Terror mine at Key
stone, whereby four men were seriously
injured. The injured miners are Sher-
man Dunning, John Hedland, james
Hopkins and Joseph Everly. John
Hedland has one leg broken and so
badly crushed that it is now thought
that amputation will be necessary.
James Hopkins had one leg broken in
two places. Sherman Dunning was bad
ly bruised about the head and had the
flesh badly torn from one leg. At last
accounts the shock had left him entirely
deaf. Joseph Everly was the most
fortunate Of the injured men, escaping
with but several severe bruises. 1t is
not now thought that any of the men
will lose their lives from the deplorable
accident.
"The accident as near as can be learn
ed at this time resulted in a measure
from the carelessness of the miners
through staying in the tunnel too long
after preparations for the blast had been
perfected. The men were working on
the night shift and at four o'clock yeE-
terday morning had everything in
readiness for setting off blast in the
tunnel on the 500 foot level. Some por-
ton of the finishing part of the work
delayed them and they had just got

the blast went off. The cage had Just
reached position where half was above
the tunnel, thus leaving the mems limbs
exposed to the force of the blast. None
of the men were injured about the body
and face except Everly, and he must
have been stopping down in the cage
when the explosion took plncen

The New Liquor Law.

If our memory serves US correctly we
have heard somebody remark that
South Dakota has q new liquor law.
They tell us it was a sort Of high license
and local option, double geared affair
that was brought about as a compromise
measure to satisfy everybody. That is
all right. but what is the law? 1t il
said by members Of the legislature that
the measure as presented was changed
over and over again until it's author
didn't recognize it and We doubt ift there
was single legislator who voted for il
who can now explain it.
The impression was prevalent that an
emergency clause was attached TO the
measure which put it in operation at
once. Acting upon this theory num-
Der of the towns in the Black Hills have
fixed the amount of their license.
The county commissioners considered
the matter during their session yester.
day, and came to the conclusion that
there was an emergency clause attached
to the bill, and, therefore, there is no
occasion for any action until after the
lst of July. They are not possessed of
a copy Of the law, and we doubt if there
is such thing in the whole Black Hills.
The subject was discussed at a meet
ing of the city council Monday evening,
and Mayor Star takes the same position,
consequently nothing was done nor will
any action be taken until it is known
definitely what the law is. We are of
the opinion that the towns that have
fixed their license have been little
too previous.-Deadwoo Times.
The Times, which has always been
conducted under the supervision Of a
man Of affairs, who has been hitherto
up to date in all matters affecting his
locality, must confess to being little
tardy in catching OH in this instance
The action taken by the authorities in
this place, as We persume it was in all
other towns Of the state, was based upon
thorough knowledge of the provisions
of the law, copies Of which, containing
the emergency clause, having been for
some time in their possession. Upon
further consideration Of the matter, the
Times will doubtless imbibe different
conclusion as to the too previous" char
acter Of the action Of the towns in fixing
their license under the new law.

Money to Burn

The question Of the gradual return Of
prosperity throughout the country as q
result of the election Of Mckinley and
the assurance Of republican rule, has
been everywhere evident. but it would
appear from the following article clip
ped from a recent issue Of the Inde.
pendent, u prominent silver sheet of
Deadwood, that the term gradual" does
not apply to that city in this connection,
but that prosperity at its full tide is
already in undisputed evidence. That
paper, under the above caption, says:
Saturday night was probably the
most lively one Deadwood has seen in
many years. There was probably more
money spent over the bars of several Of
the large saloons and gambling tab es
than there has been in any one Light

took it out Of the placer claims by the

all night. Every body drank wine, and
from the appearance of tho crowds that
thronged the bar rooms everybody was
on hand. The high rollers tried to
outdo each other and case after case OF
champaign was opened and it flowed as
free as water, and everyone who was
disposed to crowd up to the bar could
take one OIL this or that sport who was
demonstrating what good fellow he
was. The gang who was enjoying and
getting loaded on the delightful bever.
age at the expense of the sports woke
their friends from their slumbers and
informed them Of the "pudden," until
the crowd swelled to such a number
that it was almost impossible to gel
inside the house where the treating was
going on. From business standpoint
this kind Of money spending is not q
bad indication and shows that there is
plenty Of money in circulation"

are working six miners and are taking
out four tons of ore day. Their shaft
is down 80 feet on the vertical and
drifts are being run both directions, the
ore holding up in quantity and value.
They have had two men at work about
200 feet northwest of their shaft pros
pecting for the vertical opened on the
Doyle and Mutt ground, joining theirs
on the west. From surface indications,
this vein crosses their ground for at
least 800 feet in length. The men have

are all the indications of ore, there
being red sand and gouge in the hole.
They found float which assayed as high
as SS5 per ton. We understand the
Starners have had an offer of $4,000 for
their ground and they are considering a
proposition which will give them that
amount of cash and still retain an inter
est in the ground. This is pretty good
price for two claims and fraction, but
they are big dividend payers and cheap
at that price.-Times.

Under the caption of "A Boon to
Country Editors" the Deadwood Times
notes the following ruling recently
made in Brown county, this state; "A
justice Of the peace decided that the
wife as we'll as the husband could be
held for the payment Of subscription
to paper. The evidence showed that
the paper had been taken and read in
the family and therefore the wife was
held liable for the payment. One Of
the principal topics for press comment
during the past winter has been the de-
linquent subscriber. There is no class
of business men that is swindled out Of
as much money as the country news
