The latest reports are to the effect,
that the Harvey Peak Mining company
have settled their differences to the ex-
tent that they will go to work inside of
80 days, to develop the gold veins which
run through the many claims in their
possession. 1t has long been known,
that through the tin belt belonging to
the company, that there runs belt of
veins which carry gold, and some ofthis
ore is of good grade, and even in the
tin ore, gold has been obtained to the
extent of$2O0O per ton. 1t Is crafty
ing news tha. work will be resumed on
this property at an early day. with
everything to indicate that when once
inaugurated, it will be continued inde-

portation is to expensive to allow Of low
or even medium grade ore to be hauled
over rough mountain road distance

Another Railroad for tho Black Hills,

Another Railroad for tho Black Hills.
1t is now almost certain that the rail-
road grade from Aberdeen to Pierre
will be put in condition for a track to
be laid this fall, says a special of the 9th
inst. to the Deadwood Independent.
The Great Northern railroad has brought
in l2 carloads of grading outfits and the
grade has been looked over by expert
enced engineers. 1t is believed that
Jim Hill has begun operations for the
completion of the Aberdeen, Pierre &
Black Hills railroad, projected by Jim
Ward of Pierre and other Pierre and
Aberdeen people. The roadway was
graded some years ago and the projec.
tors became financially embarrassed.
For some time rumor has had it that
Jim Hill had secured control of the line
and has determined to tap the Black
Hills with view to securing the trade
of that region for his road and for st.
Paul and Minnea polls.

able proportion of those who have been
acting with the third party; and this
general dissatisfaction, together with
the positive step taken by Mr.. Loucks
in allying himself again with the repub
lican party, will unquestionably bring
us great many votes.
"The hopelessness of the free silver
cause will quite surely lead many repub
licans TO return to the party which they
left in 1896. A large proportion of them
had given credence to the predictions
made by Bryan and Pettigrew, as to the
terrible fate which would confront the
nation if Mckinley should be elected
president, and now history has demon
strated those predictions to be absolute
ly false. Even If a good many republi-
cans two years ago were fooled in aban
doning their party to follow such a
phantom as unlimited free coinage, not
all Of them will be so foolish as to con-
tinue the pursuit when the hard facts
of the market reports prove it to be
nonsense.
son top ofthese things which demon
strate the illogical character OF so large
part of the opposition, there is the
direct and positive statement Of Ameri
can patriotism which goes out to the
republican national administration for
its admirable conduct of the war against
Spain. No opposition orator on any
stump or writer in any newspaper will
have the effrontery to challenge the
splendid record made in this war by
him who was the standard bearer ofth
republican party in 1896. This record
either will win support for republican
ism throughout the country, or else the
American people are unappreciative and
ungrateful-and l do not believe they
are"

The Henry Independent. in speaking
of the republican state ticket nominated
at Mitchell, says: 1t is Individually and
collectively strong, clean ticket and
commends itself to the thoughtful con-
sideration OF the voters of the state
The head Of the ticket, Kirk G. Phillips,
is an especially strong selection. Mr..
Phillips is the present most efficient
state treasurer. He was backed by the
solid Black Hills delegations for the
nomination, which attests his popular
ity in the section Of the state where he
is best known and gives assurance Of a
united and enthusiastic support for the
ticket at the polls on the west side of
the river. There is not candidate on
the ticket for whom any apology is
necessary. The congressional nominees,
Gamble and Burke, are two of the
brightest and cleanest men that the
state affords. They will represent the
state with ability and honor both to
themselves and to the state. in the house
of congress.

The Burlington's Big Engine

The first Of the four new monster en-
gines, No. S33, Of the B. & M. for the
high line between Edgemont and Dead
wood, passed through here last Friday
afternoon. Quite number of our citi-
zens went down to the depot to take a
look at the monster, and it was well
worth the trouble. The engine weighs
l35 tons and is symetrical in all its de-
signs, and looks like giant machine.
1t has eight drive wheels, and each
drive wheel has a aange. The boiler
is nearly twice as large as that of any
other engine running over this line
The smoke stack is about halfthe length
of the others, that being because the
boiler is 80 high. The cab is as big as a
miners cabin, and when the engineer
steps into his stall the rear end of the
boiler towers away above his head when
he is standing. The PioneerTimes
in describing it gives the following
figures of its mammoth proportions:
Fire box. inside width, #. 4 in.
Fire box, outside length, #. 6 in.
No. of 2f in. boiler tubes 292.
Length of tubes IA it. 81 in.

1t would be quite beyond the possibli-
ty of things for anybody to propose or
to pass a canon recognizing divorce
for any reason except that of unfaith-
fulness. or for the remarriage of any
divorced person on any other ground
than this That is true; and because
it is true" says the Church Standard"
CP. Ed of Philadelphia, I'VE sincerely
trust that the Protestant Episcopal
Church will be content with her pres
ent law of marriage in that particular.
Her law, as it stands. is too rigorous to
have the approval of unassisted human
reason Rigorous as it is, however,
it is justified by the letter of Holy
Scripture 1t may be justified on that
ground but on that ground alone. Bish-
op Doane is quite right in speaking
confidently of the present state of opin-
ion in the church; but it would be wise
to remember that even in the church
opinions change. and sometimes they
change rapidly. If one general conven-
ton should have the temerity to pass
a law grounded on nothing better than
a personal opinion of private individ-
uals which no church on earth ac-
cepts as matter Of doctrines, and
which the common sense Of mankind re-
iects it would not be surprising il
that example should hereafter be fol-
lowed in a contrary direction. The
rigorists of to-day, on the authority
of their own private exegesis of a dis
puted passage would impose a new
law upon the church. Why should it
be thing impossible for the liberals
of a later time to relax our present
law of divorce on the authority of
their personal opinion that another
part of the disputed passage has been
misinterpreted? Stranger things than
that have happened"
