OF patient and tasteful workmanship.
1t represents building 50xs0 feet and
GA feet high on scale Of one-half inch
to the foot. 1t contains upwards OF
$4,000 separate pieces Of rock and the
rocf is covered with 5000 mica shingles.
1t represents three story structure in
the Romsn-1onic style and upwards Of
500 worth of gold nuggets are in sight
on the exterior. The front of the build
ing shows the ornamental materials OF
the Black Hills country, the left side
the rock formations and gold ore veins
and the right side and rear the various
other valuable ores of the district.
Over 100 different species are included
in the construction and in the front
corridor is cleyerly painted represent
alton Of the White Rocks that look
down on Main street in Deadwood from
a height Of 1000 feet. The other build
ing is Of purely imaginary architecture
and was constructed by the women Of
Custer City from specimens Of the min
erals that are found in Custer county.
1t is scarcely less artistic than the Dead
wood building and formed part Of the
Black Hills exhibit at the Worlds fair.
Another very novel feature 10 shaft
and sluice box in miniature, which
show how an old fashion ed placer mine
was worked in Bear Gulch. Although
the entire model is scarcely two feet
long it illustrates the whole process OF
placer mining and even the pans, picks
and shoyels are duplicated.

Black Hills Show In Minerals.

To large proportion of the people
who visit the exposition the suggestion
of the Black Hills implies vast field
stored with inexhaustible resources and
pregnant with future possibilities. For
this reason, If for no other, the South
Dakota exhibit in the Mines building
commands general interest. More than
that 1t is a very complete and we'll ar
ranged exposition of the mineral pos
sessions of the state and well deserves
the careful study of the mineralogist
The main feature of the exhibit is the
exhaustive collection Of siliceous gold
ores from the various sections Of the
Hills. These are Of various grades OF
value and exhibit all of the various for
nations OF the mineral. Conspicuous
among the specimens is an exhibit from
the Ragged Top district, which, in spite
of the very common appearance of the
nuggets, carries 5000 to a ton. Among
the most attractive specimens are the
sulphide gold ores from the Harding
mine, which are of exceptionally deli.
cate formation and have a rich silvery
color that makes them more conspicu-
Gus than some Of the more valuable
specimens. There is also an extensive
collection of free gold ores from the
various mines together with smaller
showing of iron ore and exceptionally
pure graphite. The mica industry,
which is assuming such extensive pro-
portions in South Dakota, is also ex.
haustively illustrated. The state now
exports aboxt 5000 pounds year OF the
product and its use for electrical pur,
poses is adding very materially to the
demand.
The features that first attract the at.
tention of the general visitor are the
two miniature buildings artistically
constructed from small specimens
of the various minerals of the state
One is a mineral palace that is very
nearly duplicate of the Deadwood
opera house. The construction of this
building occupied four expert workmen
for over Ave months and it Is q marvel

Black Hills Timber Reserve.

AS previously stated, the department
Of the interior has under consideration
the adyisability of excluding from the
Black Hills forest reservation in South
Dakota such portions of the same as
have been found by the geological sur
vey to be improperly included In the
reserve. 1t is expected that formal
proclamation will be submitted to the
president in short time, with view
to having such portions of the reserve
recommended by the survey restored to
the public domain. The lands to be
Withdrawn are situated on the western
side of the reservation which have been
found by the survey to contain little or
no timber.
The first plan Of the secretary to send
an inspector to the Black Hills, as sug-
gested by Senator Kyle, has been aban-
doned by the secretary. because the in.
formation furnished by the geological
survey is SO full and complete that it is
not necessary to detail an inspector for
that purpose. While the land designat.
ed will be Withdrawn from the reserve
Land Commissioner Hermann said that
the department proposed to recommend
the issuance of another proclamation
embracing within the reserve another
large tract of timber land adjoining the
reserve on the northwestern border
An examination of this land has dis
closed the fact that it is heavily timber
ed.
The department is also making plans
for the disposal of the timber on ths
reservation, which will be of interest te
purchasers in this region. Plans ar,
being prepared in accordance with thu
policy Of Commissioner Hermann fol
preventing the rayages of fires in the
reserve, which will shortly be put into
execution. The proclamation mention
ed above will be issued as soon as tn,
preliminaries have been completed BY
Commissioner Hermann.

More Truth Than Poetry.

The newspaper field is wide and full
Of thorns and roses. If you roast the
preacher, the ungodly smiles. If you
roast the ungoldly, the preacher smiles.
If you roast the salooman the teetote-
ler smiles. If you roast the teetoteler
the saloonman smiles and sets 'em up
which makes the editor smile. If you
swear you are very wicked man, and
if you pray you are hypocrite. Ifyou
have an opinion you get cussed, if you
don't you are nonentity. The preacher
knows one thing, the sinner another
but the jour nalist is supposed to know
everything. He is the best man and
the worst in the community, and you
should not fail to abuse him at every

The usual half yearly statement of
failures by branches OF business is pecu-
liarly interesting because it shows that
war and fear Of war have not caused
increase In commercial disasters, says
Dun's Review. The surprisingly large
and general decrease in trading defaults
would without doubt be accompanied by
corresponding returns as to manufacture
ing, but for excessive expension in some
lines, and the helpless condition reached
by few large firms in other branches.
Rarely have the monthly reports, pre-
pared only by this journal. called atten-
tion more distinctly to the particular
branches of business in which disasters
have been invited, but in manufacturing
as in trading, no evidence is found that
general conditions have been less favor
able than heretofore. In spite of war
and expectations of war, failures during
the second quarter have been smaller
than in the same quarter of the p plst few
years in trading, and in manufacturing
smaller than in the same quarter Of any
year excepting 1894.

The state supreme court. last week
handed down decision in the case of
B. F. Campbell vs.. The Minnehaha
National Bank of Sioux Falls, in which
the question of increasing the value of
bank stock by the state board of equali.
zation is held to be void. The main
point in the decision Is that bank stock
was taken out of the class in which it is
placed by statute, and raised without
raising other property of the same class
The opinion is written by Justice Full
Ter and concurred in by the other
judges, the lower court being reversed.
In the case of the First National Bank
of Huron vs. treasurer of Bowdle coun-
ty, the same question was raised and de-
cided in like manner.

Officers of the railroad and express
companies complain bitterly of the
revenue tax as applied to their business.
1t seems that the new law requires a
one cent stamp placed upon every bill OF
lading issued by the company. We are
informed that this would in the aggre,
gate in case of the railroads alone,
amount to sum of five million dollars.
The express companies about as much
more, which, together with the hind
rance to business, placing stamps upon
200, 100000 bills of lading ls so unjust
and unbusiness like that unless it ie
changed it will destroy all the business

tinues to improve with depth. We are
informed, that the shaft has now reach
ed depth of 65 feet, where in addition
to the rich refractory ore encountered,
body Of free milling ore has been
struck, which shows up by pan test $40
per ton in gold.
The Rapid City chlorination plant,
under the management of NJ. FL. Day,
is expected to be ready for the treat
ment of ore by the fifteenth of next
month. 1t has been necessary to re-

Mr.. James Cochran came in Sunday
from his mining operations near Roch.

loping some very promising gold claims.
He reports the Huntington mill, which
is equal to ten stamps capacity, running
steadily and proftably on large vein
of ore. Mr.. G. reports further that he
has recently struck new vein in his
ground which he has long sought, it
runs $4,000 per ton in gold and is free

this body of ore, and has penetrated
it for about ten feet. without reaching
the wall. This new find is a very Inn.

will no doubt soon be worked by mill
of much larger capacity. We congratu-
late our townsman on his new discov-

There is but little change in the min.
ing situation since our last
issue. Placer mining on French creek
and its tributaries continue unabated,
and with fairly good results. The re-
cent heavy rains occurring in this section
during the past week have been great
blessing to the ranchmen, who can now
count on fairly good crop, except
where the severe hail storms have
affected them detrimentally. How
ever there is no rose without thorn"
and some Of our placer miners have
been brought to realize the truth Of this

bitches cut and caved, and their mines

is universally welcomed. and the only
