A Bounteous Crop.

South Dakota is not only preparing to
harvest one of the most generous crops
of cereals with which nature has ever
blessed it, but it has under cultivation q
crop of Republican candidates which
surpasses in extent and variety as well
as in quality any Of the political pro-
ductions of the past. This is due not
only to the fact that improved condi-
tions render a republican nomination
this year almost equivalent to an elec-
ton, but also to the more significant
fact that the party has come out from
under the one man rule which dominat-
ed it for so many years and led it at
length to temporary defeat Of course
there is the usual talk Of a machine and
a ring to control nominations, but the
fact remains that never before in the
history of the state has the indiyidnal
republican felt so free to indulge his
political aspirants with the assurance
that they will receive fair consideration
in the convention.
The list of possibilities includes not
only such old stand-bys as Clifford and
Pickler, but Gamble and Phillips, Burke
and Finnerud. Dollard and Elrod, repre-
senting the newer order of things to a
large extent, are we'll up in the calcula-
tons, all Of them faithful party workers
in the past, but none of them, as yet, en-
titled to the distinction Of being peren.

favorite for attorney-genera Brown
county will contest with Sanborn for the
authorship; McCook and Grant coun-
ties want the esupsrintendency ofschools !;
Roberts county has man for land COM
missioner, as has Turner the Black
Hills will present candidate for railroad
commissioner, while the counties with
present incumbents entitled to renomi-
nation will, of course, have to be taken
into account.
The convention is yet month distant
and the seed of many another laudable
ambition to serve the state will have
matured before the oath Of August, at
which time the representatives of eman-
cipated Repubicanism in South Dakota
will assemble in Mitchell and undo to a
very great extent the baleful work which
was done in that other Mitchell eonysn
tion, just eight years ago.-Minneapolis

Back From Klondike.

A Deadwood special of the 25th inst.
says: After spending one year in the
Klondike country. enduring all the
hardships incident to the trip, Joe
Stalcup, or "Panner Joe," has returned
to his home in this city. He has four
small nuggets of gold, small quantity
of loose gold and very poor health to
show for his years trip. He brings
back narrowing account of the coun
try. The cold was SO intense last win
ter that it seemed to enter a persons
blood, causing all kinds of blood diseases,
rheumatism, neuralgia and in many
cases paralysis. About two.thirds of the
men are suffering from some one of the
diseases. Panner Joe worked for him
self on his own claim on Bonanza creek
and made from $25 to 500 a day for a
time. He was taken sick, like good
many other miners, and was idle most
Of tho winter. In eighteen days he
took out $3.50 worth of gold dust. Pan
ner Joe Gays there are two classes of
men who are getting rich. The specu-
lators and gamblers are making fortunes
and the fortunate few who have rich
placer diggings. But the great majority
makes up another class who are sick,
dead broke and crazy to get out Of the
country. Joe states that there are num-
erous places in the Black Hills where
placer diggings are as rich as in the
majority Of claims in the Klondike.
Al Burnham, another old Black Hills
miner, came cut with Panner Joe. There
were five other men in the boat coming
down the Yukon river. They all died
but two before reaching the coast

A New Industry,

The Tungsten Mining company was
organized last week at Omaha with a
capital Of $4,000. The incorporators
are Albert s. Richie and Herman Rem
bold Of Omaha and James G. Smith of
Fremont, Neb.
The company owns six claims on Sun
day gulch, hear Oreville, in Pennington
county, about mile from the St. Elmo
mine, and less than mile from the b.
q NJ. station.
Last summer, when DR.. II. Reinbold
of Omaha came through the Hills in
quest of rare minerals, among other
specimens there was one which after
test was found to be Wolfranite of Tung-
stem ore. The existence Of the vein was
known nearly twenty years ago, but the
nature Of it was in doubt.
Tungsten and its compounds have
come into prominence only within the
last few years and is steadily increasing
in value. While it is found dsseminat-
ed through tin-bearing rock in crystals,
and has often been mistaken for tin by
prospectors. it has Lowhere on this con-
tinent so far appeared in a solid ledge
as in Sunday gulch. The vein is nearly
vertical, the solid ore from three to
eight inches wide, we'll defined between
slate castings and with decom-
posed rock of from one to two feet wide
on both sides of the walls, also carrying
a percentage of Tungsten-snough to
pay for concentration.
So far prospecting work has been
carried on by the owners for prospect.
ing purposes only, and drifts are being
run along with the vein at depth oi
twenty feet to determine the course and
extent of the ore body. Judging from
precedents and for geological reasons
Mr.. Reinbold believes the ore to be
merely stringer from the main vein to
be encountered at greater depth. The
owners have kept two shifts of men
employed for the last three weeks who
have taken out from 200 to 500 pounds
ofsolid ore per day, besides large
quantity OF concentrating material.
The solid ore is tungstate Of iron
and manganese and carries, when free
from gangue, rs per cent of tungstic
acid. The value of the ore in its raw
state at the mine is worth $l75 per long
ton. 1t is used in the manufacture ol
special so-called self-hardening coal
steel where great hardness and resis.
tance to heat is required; aso for the
manufacture of magnets. 1t has been
tungsten steel will increase in strength
or capacity for retaining magnetism
about per cent. Tungstate of soda has
also found extensive use in the last few
years for rendering wood and textile
fabrics incombustible it is the material
with which all the woodwork of war,
ship is impregnated and its usefulness
was demonstrated in the naval battle
before Santiago. There are several
firms in the United States manufacture
ing tungsten steel and the ore is nearly
all imported from Tasmania at present
1t is also mined in some localities in
Europe, but the demand exceeds the
supply.
Development work will be rapidly
pushed on the property on Sunday
gulch and concentrating works put uI
as soon as prospects warrant it.-Pioneel
