No material change in the price OF
mica is reported. and the supply for the

Ex-senator Moody Returns.

Ex Senator Moody. Of Dead ood, re-
turned from Washington on Monday,
where he spent month labonng in the
interest of the Black Hills. The objects
OF his visit were to secure modifca-
ton Of the Cleveland forestry reserve
order, to secure q settlement Of the
Homestake cases for illegal cutting Of
timber, to work against the proposed
abandonment Of the Fort Meade mill
tary post, and for the removal Of the U.
$. land Office from Rapid City to Dead
wood. He returns we'll pleased with
the result Of his visit, and expresses his
belief that in all Of these matters. the
ending will be highly satisfactory to the
PEOPLE OF the Hills. With reference to
the forestry reserve order, he says a
plan is being favorably considered at
headquarters that will give the Hills
people the use of ample timber for
legitimate mining purposes. and at the
same time prevent speculating in tim
Der and shipping it out of the state.
Fur her, that in the event of failure on
the part of the administration to modify
the order. they would at once formulate
law providing for a measure OF relief
from the hardships imposed by the
order.
Referring to the Honestake cases for
illegal cutting of timber, he says action
is being taken looking to a settlement
of the matter out Of the courts, and that
an order has already been issued post
ponirg the trial of tie same until the
special term ofthe L. ). court not earlier
than April.
With reference to the abandonment
of Fort Meade, he received much en-
from the war department
officials that led him TO the conclusion
that no such step would be taken, but
on the contrary it was probable that the
post would be made permanent.
In regard to the removal Of the land
office he thinks the showing made at
W Washington is so overwhelmingly in
favor Of the removal, that it may be
fairly assured that the same
will, in due time, be ordered, the rec
ords of the general land Office showing,
as he alleges, over Einety-fve per cent
Of the business coming from sections Of !
the country that are asking for the re-
moval.

the natural resources, agricultural and
mineral, be made at the Trans Missis-
sippi international Exposition at Oma.
ha, Nebraska. and
Whereas, No appropriation of public
money has been made for the purpose
Of making such display. and that We
believe that the people Of the Black
Hills generally appreciate the great i'm
portance Of availing themselves Of the
opportunities afforded by tho said ex
position of bringing our great natural
resources prominently before the people
of this and other countries.
Therefore. Be it resolved that the
undersigned commissioners from the
western part Of South Dakota invite the
cooperation Of all persons interested
in the welfare of the state TO do all in
their power in the way Of raising sub
scriptions, collecting matter for exhibits
and otherwise advancing the interests
Of the state and advertising its resources
at the said exposition. and desire that
each person of the Black Hills consider
himself especially invited TO take an
interest in promoting the welfare of this
part of the state.

Wool To Go UP.

A Boston correspondent to the Com.
mercial American says: A man thor
oughly informed on WOODEN matters
says of the present situation
"The statistical position Of wool is
such that many believe We are on tho
verge Of market similar to that of 1879
and 1880. Then wool in the grease went
from 80 cents to 80 cents a pound, and
secured wool selling today at so cents
sold then at 81 so. Under the Mckinley
bill the clip was twice as large as now,
and l5O.O00, 900 pounds OF WOO! was iu,-
ported to meet the demands ofthe mills.
The mills are now running on full time
with small stocks, and only small stocks
are in the hands Of the dealers. Stocks
are being steadily depleted and it Is
only a question of short time when
prices will be at the importing point
We shall have to 60 to the London mar
ket. and England has short clip and its
mills are stocked with wool only three
or four weeks ahead. The situation
promises great excitement in the near
future"

The L. 5. war ship Maine is just now

Havana. There is. of course, nothing
of sensational significance in this call,
just simply an act of international
courtesy. so to speak, only that and
nothing more-but notwithstanding all
this she is doubtless taking the usual
sensible precaution of keeping her
powder dry.
