Law Regulating Pcddlers in South
Dakota May Become Obnoxious.
PIERRE, S. D., March 21.-(Special.)- y
One of the bills passed by the late legis-
lature which will be a source of litigation
at an early date is the bill to license ped
dlers and hawkers. The main provisions
of the bill require a license to be paid by
all peddlers or hawkers taking orders for
groceries, clothing, hardware or other mer-
camille establishments, and includes in it's
scope all peddlers, hawkers or solicitors. The
license is: For pack peddlers on foot $25
to $50 per year; peddlers with wagons or
other vehicles, $50 to 500 per year; and for
solicitors for groceries, clothing, hardware
or other mercantile establishments, $75 to
$125, no license to be issued for a less time
than one year. Runners travelling for whole
sale houses and taking orders from mer-
chants only, and peddlers of farm products
are exempt from the provisions of the act
The penalty for violation is fine of from
$25 to $780, One of the first questions which
will be raised is whether the solicitors
for the various blank book houses will come
within the provisions of the act. They are
solicitors and take orders from individuals
and the plain reading would indicate that
they do. One of this class of solicitors will
very likely be called upon at an early date
to test the law in regard to that class of
work.

LEAD, S. D., March 21.-(Special )-The
Harrison mine on the Lead divide, almost
within the limits of this city, has
made it's owners. wealthy. The last
lot of seventy-fve ton shipment
of ore from the Harrison to the
Deadwood and Delaware smelter, at Dead
wood, was sent down Friday and the returns
show the net product to be over 100000, or
about s275 per ton. 1t is said on good author
ity that the owners have been about two
weeks taking out this ore, and that they have
at least as much ore in sight that can be
taken out within week.
Ragged Top has added another rich strike
to the record already attained in that well
known section The new strike was made
yesterday. The diamond drill on the Green
B. Raum property In Calamity gulch, near
Balmoral, struck an exceptionally rich fiat
formation, showing thickness OF five feet at
a depth of 2S4 feet. Assays Of the ore are
said to run very high and the owners OF the
property are consequently jublant. 1t is
thought that this five foot formation is but
the first one Of number which will be en-
countered as the drilling is continued deeper.
The company expects to drill to depth OF
$500 feet in order to discover what the earth
at that depth contains. This new strike
on the Raum property puts new life into all
the Ragged Top prospectors, and they are
awaiting further developments with a great
deal OF interest.

Tacoma once had mint that coined
all the money In circulation where the
City of Destiny now stands, and 1t did
not require the fiat of Uncle Sam, the
silver of Idaho or the gold OF Cali
fornin to make the pieces from Taco
mas mint pass current among the In
dams and the few hardy pioneers that
were blazing the path of civilization
through the forest on the shores OF
Commencement bay.
Back In the early seventies, so says
the Tacoma Leader, the Tacoma Mail
Company, not being able to handily Sc
cure gold and silver for Use In trading
with and paying off the Indian laborers
and early settlers, hit upon the novel
plan of Issuing their own currency, and
TO this end set their blacksmith at
work to fashion for them out of scraps
Of iron and brass pieces of money. or.
rather, tokens, which could be used as
a circulating medium. The pieces con-
sisted OF 40 and 45 cent iron tokens and
brass 81 pieces. The Accent pieces were
about the size Of the present half dol
lar. The one-dollar pieces were oval
In shape, about an inch and quarter
long, an inch wide and a sixteenth of
an inch in thickness. These pieces
were stamped with the figures show
Ing their value, and readily passed cur.
rent all over the country tributary to
the mill. Nearly all this old "mill''
coin has passed away, but few days
ago William Hanson. of the Tacoma
Mill Company, presented set of these
queer coins to the Ferry Museum. In
his letter he said:
"The honesty of the people and the
absence of any blacksmith shop save
that of the company made the use of
this money possible"
Oregon has long boasted Of the "Bea.
yer" coin mlnted at Oregon City in the
early fifties as the only money minted
In the Northwest In the days of the

He was sanctimonious-lookin man,

black. He even called for black coffee
when he quietly took his seat Mt the
counter in the light lunch cafe near
Tenth and Chestnut streets, on Satur-

1t seemed strange to the other Gus.
toners of the place that so religious n
man as he appeared to be should be
drinking black coffee at midnight, says
the Philadelphia Record. Black coffee
is calculated to keep man awake all
night. Perhaps, thought the others, he

when the sober individual placed q
cigar box on the counter beside him.
They wouldn't have been surprised II
1t had been prayer book or Bible,
but box of cigars seemed much too
worldly. However, the best of Chris

quietly drank his cup of black coffee,
and after paying for 1t picked up his
cigar box and started for the door. I'm.
