The attorney general has rendered
an opinion of great interest to state
officials and others who have accepted
commissions in the voluntary army,
says Washington special of the 18th
inst. He holds that section 1922 OF the
revised statutes, which prohibits army
officers from exercising the functions of
civil officer on penalty of losing their
army commissions, applies equally to
officers of the regular army. He is Of
the opinion it wo1ld be unfair to con-
strue the statute as offecting officers in
the volunteers. because many of them
accepted these positions believing that
the war with Spain would be of short
duration and therefore preferred not
to relinqu!sh the compensation of the
civil Offices they held. The case in
question was that of Mr.. Grigsby, state
officer of South Dakota, who was ap-
pointed colonel of one Of the regiments
of mounted rlffemen authorized by the
volunteer army act.

The State is not Liable.

A Pierre special Of the 18th inst says
After the troops were mustered in at
Sioux Falls q number Of claims were
presented to the state for per diem and
expenses Of the men who went to the
rendezvous and were either rejected by
examing officers or decided not to 60

gard to these claims, Adjt. Gen. Hum
phrey says the claims are generally pre-.
sented for service In the national guard,
and that mono of them can be paid by
the state. 1t was explicitly stated at
the time that the men were not going to
the rendezvous as national guardsmen,
but as soldiers of the United States, and
the officers Of the various companies
we're positively instructed to take along
no man who did not sign the muster
roll as volunteer. If these men have
any claim whatever II 10 one against the

Mining Items.

A rich discovery of free milling gold
ore is reported as having been made by
VIM. Petit and John Byers between
Friday and Marshall gulches, near Hill
City.
A Tecoma dispatch Of recent date to
the Inter Ocean says: Robert Floor
mann, the veteran prospector, has re-
turned to Whatcom from the Mount
Baker mining district bringing l0O
pounds Of surface samples Of ore from
the newly discovered ledge which he
traced several thousand feet. Three
assays of the samples yield 81, 100, 81 400
and So, 200 to the ton. The news reviy-
ed the excitement Of last year regarding
the Mount Baker country and scores Of
Whatcom citizens are starting for the
gold fields.
The Holy Terror Mining company Of
Keystone have contracted with the
Gates Iron Works, Chicago, for twenty
additional stamps, which will be added
to the Keystone mill, making altogether
fifty stamps to be operated by this COM
pany, with capacity of 200 ton Of ore
per day. With only ten stamps the
Holy Terror company have managed to
sink shaft more than 600 feet In depth,
besides doing an immense amount Of
dead work, putting in a hoist, good for
1900 feet, and at the same time paying
the regular dividend of $4,000 per
month, and also adding to the large
surplus in the treasury. With forty
additional stamps the company may
advance from second to frst place in
the output Of gold mines of the Black
Hills.
CHILKooT CAMP.
The new camp called Chilkoot, nine
miles east Of Custer, is attracting the
attention of the local prospectors and
miners Of the southern Hills. On the
original Chikoot claim owned by
Challis and Madill, the pay ore has
been traced along the surface for a
distance Of 1000 feet. Assays show the
ore to contain an average Of more than
$4,000 per ton, while in many places
along the vein ore is found assaying
from $4,000 to as high as $4,000 per
ton. The ore is reddish white quartz
carrying free gold, sylyanite, altaite,
tellurium and bismu.h AS far as de-
termined, about oue-fourth Of the gold
contained in the ore is free, the balance
refractory. The latest find in the camp
was made on Friday last by Fay and
Mckay Of Keystone. The ore is said to
be much richer than that found in any
Of the other locations. The district
carrying the rich ore is known to be
about one mile in width by nearly three
miles in length. From Harney Peak TO
the limestone, q distance of nine miles,
and from Battle creek south TO Pringle,
distance of twenty-five miles, is dis
trict containing about two hundred
square miles. and having veins Of the
same character of quartz as the Chill
koot camp. This entire district 10 as

Van Clse For Congress.

From the Dakota Spirit: We learn
from authentic sources that the counties
commonly designated as the "Black

candidate for congress. Such action will
come pretty near being conclusive ofhis
nomination. The mining counties are
clearly entitled to a representative in
congress. Their industrial interests, of
vast importance, not only to themselves,
but to the whole state, demand that they
should be given free hand in the selec-
ton of one member Identified and "a.

man whose name they propose is

No Pay For Palmer.

The supreme court, passing on a suit
brought by G. S. Palmer against the state
for fees as attorney for the railroad
commission, dismissed the suit, says a
Pierre special of the I4th inst, holding
that as a member Of the legislature he is
prohibited by section II, article 3, of the
constitution, from reaping any benefit
from a place created by legislative ses-
sion Of which he was member. At the
time of Palmer's employment by the
railroad commission it was alleged that
ii was in violation OF the constitution
but lie was employed regardless of the
question which had been raised, and is
now prohibited from drawing any pay
for bis work.
