A New Game Played Low Down

During the month of November, 1897.
a western mining expert, who is in the
employ Of one Of the most noted and
wealthy mining operators in the world,
came TO the Black Hills to examine a
large gold property in Pennington coun-
ty The property which he was to
examine was presented by well known
mining engineer of the southern Hills
who was operating through a Denver
Colorado, firm Of promoters. The ex-
pert put in some FIVE weeks in the Hills.
lie admitted that the property was as
represented, and said that he would
have to wait to hear from his employer
who lives in Paris before giving an
answer One day he claimed that he
had been called by telegraph to ex
anime another property, his route took
him to Denver. In about two weeks
time from his departure, two we'll known
mining men from Denver appeared in
the Hills with a report on part of the
property which he had examined and
on which the option held by the Black
Hills parties had expired. This report
was signed by the western mining ex-
pert and was almost an exact copy of
statements in the report made by the
outhern Hills engineer. Investiga.
tions show that the property was
presented 10 the Denver parties by one
of the parties in the office of the Denver
promoter. The whole scheme played
by the Denver promoters and the ex-
pert, was to beat the Black Hills parties
| (who had spent months Of time and
many hundred dollars in money in get
ting the property in shape to present to
invsstors) out Of their legitimate COM
mission 1t would probably be very
interesting to read the report OF
the expert sent to Paris. and the one
given to the Denver parties by him,
and especially interesting to the en-
ployer Of the western expert

W. II. Todd. Of this city, has received
letter from his brother, J +. Todd, Of

which we are permitted to print the fol-
lowing extract. As will be seen by the
letter, those living in the northwest
know tie ALASKA boom to be overesti-

benefit Of trade interests
II sent you our New Years edition Of

you something Of the northwest and the
klondike country. am confident this
country is very much oyerestimated like
all new mining camps. The railroads,
steamships, real estate men, merchants,
hotel men, in fact all the people Of the

this state. All are expecting to reap a
harvest from the people coming and

very wrong TO paint this gold country in
such glowing colors, for thousands will
