claims, but, comparatively speaking,
few gold mines. All the mines, how
ever, have been claims in the earlier
day. The developed gold mines have
been brought about by an aggregation
OF capital indused there by the good
talker of the gold claim. In no other
way can there be gold mine without
this capital to open up and work the
gold claim and this is being done slowly
but surely. Whilst there is much talk
of the Englishman coming over here
and buying up our good mines, there
need be no fear but what the Yankee
will get the best of the Englishman
every time.
"True, all these claimes ought and
should be developed and worked by
American money and American labor,
but the Englishman sees in those Hills
untold wealth and openings for invest
ments.
II formed the acquaintance of an
English Lord who is here with power
to purchase apd 1 have but little doubt
that by this time purchase has been
made, or will be made, in two developed
mines, for which the English syndicate
pays ifty-fve hundred thousand dollars.
These are elegant developed, rich
properties. The other side. I over
heard this same Englishman tell and
point out to his wife properties that
other Englishmen paid two million for,
that probably is not worth that many
cents. So you see the blasted Britisher
don't get all of it and every time he
comes adds wealth to America.

THE NOBLE-SHAWs WEDDING.

1t Was Consummated at the Home of
the Brides's Parents Last Thursday
A very happy and pleasant wedding
event occurred at the home OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Harvey Noble, four miles south of
Mitchell in Prosper township last

A. G. Stevens, of the Methodist church,
in the presence of the relatives of the
contracting parties and 9 few intimate
friends, residing in this city and that
township.
The bride was dressed in white china
silk, richly trimmed with lace and
ribbon to match, and she was picture
of loveliness as she stood by the side of
her liege lord and assumed the vows
that made their lives run in the same
channel. The bride is prepossessing
young lady, accomplished and richly
endowed in intellectual attsinments
and beloved by large circle of friends
and acquaintances. Mr.. Shaw is q

A Health Resort.

"Truly the Hot Springs of South Da-
kota can be called the Carlsbad of Amer
rica,'" said Mr.. Wolgemuth. "Nestling
in ost romantic valley in the Black
Hills. $500 feet above sea level gives
them crisp, bracing atmosphere laden
with balsamic and pine odors from the
greatest pine forest, which is a health
tonic within itself. The scenery of the
surrounding mountains, valleys, cliffs
and canyons is perpetual pleasure, but
greatest of all are its vonderfu springs,
whose medicinal waters have cured
thousands. At these Hot Springs is
located the largest and finest plunge
bath in America, the plunge pool being
100x250 feet and the outflow of water
100000 gallons per hour. This, to-
gether with the finest hotel service

the west, the Gillespie and others with

in conducting the schools by his wife,
who was recently made assistant prin-
cipal.
At the close of the ceremony the
guests pressed forward to extend their
sincere and hearty congratulations.
A repast, which would have done
justice to professional caterer, was
spread before the guests and was served
in five courses. A large number of
valuable and handsome presents were
received by the bridal couple, showing
the high esteem in which they are held.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shaw departed Friday
morning for New Boston, ILL.,, and
other points in the east for brief trip
and will return to Hurley Aug. 20 to
take up their residence, which is furn-
ished and ready for their arrival.

ulations that their married life may
be one long dream of happiness.

home from the meeting of the Eastern

Program Rich in Elegance Was Listened
to by an Apprec,ative Audience.
People who had the foresight to at
tend the concert given by the Ollie
Torbett Concert Co. at the Grand opera
house Thursday evening are congratu-
lating themselves upon their good
judgment, as all the claims which were
made in advance for the general excel.
lence of tue performers were fully sus-
tanned n a program that charmed and
enthralled the attentive listeners.
While the audience was not as large
as the merits Of the company demanded
yet it was quite large and evidently
thoroughly appreciative of what was
offered in the way OF an entertainment.
To pick Out the bright particular star
OF the company would be- matter of
taste, for each member seemed to
possess an equal share of attention from
the audience.
Miss Torbett appeared on the pro-
gram for two violin solos, but 80 enrap-
tured we're the people with her playing
that she graciously responded to the
encores and on one of her numbers
came back twice. AS a violinist Miss
Torbett is entitled to rank high, being
possessed with fine ability. She pro-
duces rich, sweet tone on her instru-
ment and plays with brilliancy and
vigor which demonstrates thorough
mastery of the violin. Besides she is 3
beautiful lady and endowed with q
charming presence it is an easy matter
for her to captivate an audience. She
is certainly a gifted young lady.
With quiet and unassuming man
ners Miss Lucie Mawson, the pianist,
was certainly great fsvorite:: Miss
Mawson's presence at the piano was a
pleasure. She played with great pre-
cision and skill, showing wonderful
power and technique, her accompani-
ment of the solo work being an addi-
tional feature of her ability.
Probably that which attracted the
attention the most was the singing of
the Lutteman quintette. Their voic-
ing was superb, the harmony was ex-
cellent, their tones were rich, round I,
full and resonant, and the people took
the greatest amount of peasure from
their singing. Their every appearance
was the signal for recall and the
gentlemen responded with a kindness
that was truly appreciative. The
quintette was practically the same
which appeared here several years ago
and from the years of constant singing
together they have reached an acme of
perfection seldom, if ever, attainable.
Manager Gale is certainly to be con-
graduated for having secured such an
excellent attraction and it is only to be
regretted that the opera house was
not packed to it's full capacity.

Minerals and Scenery.

"For the space occupied no place in
the world can compare with the won
derful scenery and richness in mineral
wealth as found in the Black Hills,'
said Mr.. Wolgemuth. When the
people of America will have learned of
the wonderful scenery and health re-
sorts of this country and turn their
attention and wealth, expended in tray
cling over parts of Europe, they will
have conferred blessing upon human
ity and themselves and will know more
and can tell more of their own state
and country than they now do. This
would probably be an advantage to
them when in Europe, when asked
about their own country"

PROVED UP ON CHURCH LAND.
Rev. John Williamson Made Fnal Proof
on Yankton Reservation Land

rev. JOhn Williamson Made FINAL Proof
on Yankton Reservation Land.
For the past % years Rev. John P.
Williamson has been preaching reli-
gion to the Indians down on the Yank-
ton reservation. Wednesday he with
his Witnesses, appeared before the land
office in this city and made final proof
on some land which he held iu trust
for the Presbyterian church societies.
The land is not ali in one body but is
divided into different tracts and is i'm
proved with good churches, buildings
and parsonage. Mir. Williamson is
81 years old and has devoted the best
part OF his life to missionary work
among the Indians, but he feels that
his efforts have been amply rewarded
by the progress made by them on relig-
ious and educational lines. He found
it work of most difficult character when
he first started in that missionary field,
ard it seemed nearly impossible to Sc
cure foothold among the Indians, but
determined to accomplish his object he
stayed by his mission and the fruits of
his labor are plainly apparent to the
visitor on the reservation. Mr.. Will
Hanson returned to the reservation to-
day.

Railroad Across the Reservation.


A railroad between here and the
Black Hills would be grand thing for
that country and the people on this
side of the river, as thousands of peo-
pie in the Hills receive most all of
their supplies from Nebraska, On the
other hand, under the wise provision of
law the pine timber of the Hills cannot
be shipped out of the state-hence,
while Nebraska gets the advantage by
the shipping of farm products, she
cannot get the lumber out of the Hills.
A railroad between Chamberlain,
Pierre or some other available point
and the Hills country would give to the
farmers of the east half of South Dako-
ia an open market with the Hills for
their hay, corn, potatoes, butter, eggs,
etc., and in return could have the very
best of pine lumber and coal shipped
back in return. "And in my judg-
ment." continued Mr.. Wolgemuth,
"the company which will take up and
build an independent line between the
Hills apd any reasonable point on this
side will make more money than work.

"The sheep industry will have the
largest boom of any one thing the
farmer can raise. Capital from the
east is looking up locations for the
manufacture Of wool here where it is
grown, and to this end very large
five story stone structure has been
erected at Edgemont in the Black Hills
by leading capitalists from Philadel-
phia.''

says, was comparatively easy, when it
was thoroughly explained as to how the
Commercial Mutual was organized, how
it was officered by the leading business
men OF the state. In some instances he
was compelled to decline writing

by the constitution and bylaws, which

Very Satisfactory Prices Offered Tor
Lead and Zinc-Last Weeks
Output.

Joplin, Mo, May 16.-(SpecialD Good
prices and great demand for both zinc and
lead during The past week kept all the
mine operators active and many new
shafts are being sunk in various parts OF
the district, and improved machinery is
being ordered to take the place of the old
slow holsters and pumps.
The high price paid for lead caused an
increase of the lead sales, but there was
less zinc ore sold than last week One lot
of Galena lead ore, which had been held
for over a year for better prices, amount
ing to 229,60 pounds, was sold during the
week.
Zinc ore advanced $50 per ton to $3.50.
Lead ore was firm at $3.50 per LOCO pounds,
and some sales were made at $40. New
buyers entered the field and helped TO
stiffen the market.
The corresponding week of last year, the
top price paid for zinc ere was Sl.JO per
ton, while there was little demand for lead
at $3.50 per 1000 pounds.
Last weeks sales showed a falling of in
zinc ore of PA, $50 pounds, and an increase
in lead ore of 161, 200. Compared with the

MADE A SHOW OF THEMSELVES.
LORan-McCOOk Controversy Brings
Out Stories Not at All Compile
mentary to Americana.

Washington, May 16.-The Logan-Mc-
Cook controversy has started the gossip
about the coronation of the car.
From all counts the Americans attend
ing that function seem to have made a
show of themselves. The gossip goes to
show that there was an unusual amount
of jealousy and rivalry among the Ameri-
cans and that the majority of them sue
CeedeG only in making themselves supreme
ly ridiculous.
There are accounts of dress rehearsals
for receptions, masquerading in
borrowed or purchased toggery of royalty
and nobility, and altogether a p%otpourri
of gossip concerning the exploits of rich,
aspiring Americans which is scarcely cal
culated to raise them in the estimation Of
their countrymen.
One American woman Is represented as
wearing at a reception a secondhand
crown purchased from ex-Empress Eu-
genie at a cost of $4,000. and stubbing her
toe and dropping it from her head as she
made her bow to her royal host.
Another eye witness recounts that Mr..
Logan wore the uniform of a colonel Of the
United States cavalry instead Of that of
the Ohio National Guard. and that regular
and that these protests led up to thu
present difficulty.
Still another insists that the whole
trouble came up through the jealousy of
some rich New York society people who
aspired to outshine all others at the Rus
sian capital, and who were left in the
shade by the handsome Mr.. Logan who
was taken by man. to be the very biggest
military functionary in all America.

This was the declaration made by Mayor
Harrison yesterday regarding the gambling
question, and those close to the admins
tration confidently assert that it is final
and that under no conditions of restriction
will gambling be tolerated in Chicago But
the managers of the gambling houses do
not believe il. They figure on being closed
not longer than a week or ten days. So
confident are most of them the order is
only for getting gambling well under con-
troll that many are still spending money
renovating places and buying parapher-

form is to be stopped for good. The fact
of the matter is the boys don't know where
they stand. There are only one or two of
the big proprietors who know the inside of
the situation and they are not talking
1t is safe to say that not a gambling
house or poOlrOom was running openly yes
terday. This fact did not deter the sports
from playing the races. The tickers in the
saloons were well patroniZed. and thus are
the saloon men being temporarily benefited
by the closing order.
