"The surveys have not yet been com

it may become fully posted upon the

are forty-two townships in South Da-
kota affected by the Cleveland order /;
that is 1900 square miles Of land is
taken from the public domain and re-
served forever, according to that pro.
clamation. This would prove serious
blow 10 the development Of Pennington,

would deprive at least 800 home

million acres Of forest land in the Hills

every hope that the order would be
repealed or revoked is dissolved unless
some mighty influence can be brought

Judge G. c. Moody. Of this city, is now

Tne Klondlko Boom.

Notwithstanding the discouraging re-
ports from the Yukon region, says the
| New York Engineering and Mining
Journal. the transpoi tation companies
are evidently making every effort to
secure all they can from the Klondike
boom. 1t is not only notable but also,
We think, a disagreeable, fact, that
prominent officers Of nearly all the rail-
road companies are directors in Klon-
dixie companies, which are for the most
part scarcely removed from the category
Of Wildcats" 1t is not surprising,
therefore, to find that the differe Mt trans
continental lines are putting out all
sorts of inducements for travellers from
the east, and are making preparations
for large number Of passengers Even
so rational a railroad man as President
James j. Hill, Of the Great Northern
Railroad, has expressed the belief that
between now and June there will be
100000 passengers to tho Pacific Coast
beyond the ordinary number. and all
the roads are preparing additional roll
ing stock to carry the expected crowds
The coast transportation companies are
also preparing. and for some time past
there has been a market in New York
for all the old steamers that could be
patched up to stand a voyage to the
Pacific. Naturally these companies are
ignoring or concealing the unfavorable
news, and their circulars and advertise
ments present the most favorable views
Of the country, too often with very little
regard for fact.
The result of this booming will be
especially disastrous for the man from
tho east, who will be attracted by all
this advertising, and who have, as a
rule, no knowledge whatever OF mining
or prospecting, and very little sxperi
encs Of any kind to qualify them for
what they must face in the Yukon.
The western prospector has at least
some idea what he can expect; and his
experience will give him great advant-
age, though it is very doubtful whether
even that advantage will bring much
profit to those who take the risk.
