Hot Springs weekly star. (Hot Springs, S.D.) 1892-1917, 1898-04-08
CLIMATE,

Hot Springs is in South Dakota.
This fact is sufficient to condemn its
climate in the minds of those who can
only associate the name Dakota with
extreme heat in summer and extreme
cold in winter. Now the fact is that
but very few people who have not per-
sonally experienced the climate of Da-
kota, IA do it justice, but he who con
fonnds the climate of the Black Hills
with that of Dakota in general, lacks
that specific information which only
should be the basis of judgment upon
the climate of any place. Likewise he
who confounds tho climate of Hot
Springs with that of the Black Hills
region in general, depending upon the
statistics of the weather service accu-
mulated at Deadwood, where the SER
vice was located for many years, and
which are used as a basis of reports
contained in the Denison Charts and
other works, on climatology, will obtain
but crude idea of the real conditions
o fclimate which prevail at Hot Springs.
/ was skeptical myself regarding the
marked difference which was claimed
by b inhabitants Of the place, and
felt that ! could only give such testi-
mony for what it was worth, but fortu-
nately 1 obtained access to q private
diary in which all the important fea-
lures Of the weather have beenEregular-
ly and systematically kept for a period
Of eight years. These records have but
two theometric observations q day,
about sunrise and sunset, SO that a
a mean as generally understood can
not be obtained, but the data given
does establish beyond a doubt that the
conditions at Hot Springs are excep-
tional, as compared to the Black Hills
country in general. This also estab-
fishes the fact that as a winter climate
Hot Springs corresponds more closely
with that Of the same altitude and lat
itude hundreds Of miles furthar south,
minus the d~isagreeable winds which
there prevail, and which are here SOM
spicuons from their absence.

HEAVY FURRY IN IRON.
Last Ore Brought Down-Advance In Bes-

Last Ore Brought Down-Advance In Bes-
semer-Mueh Buying.
The last cargo OF iron ore for 1898
was loaded at Escanaba Tuesday,
December -, or one day later than
the close of shipments for 1897. The
season has established a new record
for Lake Superior mfnes-a total sent
over upper-lake docks of 1850, 7S8
gross tons, as compared with II, 215, 645
tons by water in the season Of 1897.
Yet this output is not up to the evil
dent consumption Of Lake Superior
ores. Easily 500, 0OO tons more would
have been brought down, could the
labor have been secured at the height
of the shipping season. The Mesabi
range, with a total shipment of 4, co.,
912 tons, has contributed 1925 per cent
of the total for 1695-if we reckon the
all-rail shipments at $50. 600 tons, and
thus make the total for the year A.
1000 tons. In 1897 the Mesabi per-
centage was "a and in 1895 it was 20.
The all-rail shipments will be higher
for this year than for several preced-
ing. in view OF the large amount OF
ore sent to South Chicago last winter.
Producers of BeSsemer ores have
had a fair return out of the seasons
business. as compared with last year.
Non-Bessemer ores have sold at I'M
heard OF prices, some of the o!d-range
grades going even below Mesabis.
Only mines operated by fee-ownoTs
could make ends meet at the prices
paid for non-BessemeFs the past year
-s1S5, for example, for an ore that
heretofore has brought s. to s2.10.
Vessel interests have not profited by
the years ore trade except in the case
of companies owning boats of most
modern capacity.
The furry in the iron market last
week came very much in the same I'M
expected fashion as the descent of the
Assyrian. who ''came down like a
wolf on the fold" The largest pro-
Queer in the south, absolutely with
out note of warning, in the middle
of tue week advanced prices. There
had been steady and increasing pre-
vious to that time. For day or two
every furnace in the south was show
cred with orders, all at the old prices.
for while the new prices are in force
it is probable that very little iron as
yet has been sold at them. Probably
as much as $4,000 tons of iron was sold
last week BY the pig iron houses in
Cincinatti; in fact, the general i'm.

The fusionists held a rally in the
opera house last night. There was a
good attendance. Chairman Weber
read a letter from L. w. Shurtliff, ex-
pressing his inability to be present on
account of illness. He predicted the
success Of the Cannon ticket. David
Evans, who had been advertised to
speak, was also detained by ill-health.
Mr.. Weber made a brief speech,
claiming the fusionists would carry
Ogden by 1000 plurality, and would
also carry the county precincts. He
promised if the Cannon ticket won in
Weber, Cannon would be returned to
the senate. He then introduced as
chairman Mrs. Jennie e. Nelson, who
made a brief talk.
The Ford boys sang two selections,
Mrs. F. r. Christensen gave a recita-
ton and P. NJ. Foulkman made short
address. He said Mr.. Glasmann was
claiming that he (Glasmann) had built
sugar factory and he inquired where
Glasmann's factory was located. In
closing he moved to make the election
of the fusion ticket unanimous.
The Ladies' Glee club rendered two
selections and George H. AIcCabe made
brief address. He said the fusionists
had been termed rebels, traitors and
insurgents, and admitting the apple
ability of the terms, went on to show
from history what had been accom-
plished by such people.
Mrs. Belle Salmon-Ross gave a reci-
tation and Miss Mercy Burton ap-
pealed to the women to stand by the
silver cause by electing the fusionist
ticket.
CANNON's SPEECH.
Senator Cannon entered after the
exercises had commenced and was en-
Enthusiastically received. He made an
argumentative address, and at the out
set. apologized for combining his re-
marks to Republicans, with whom he
had formerly been associated. He re-
viewed the history of Republicanism in
Utah and recalled its pledges in regard
to silver. He dwelt at length on the
promises of Republicans to promote
free coinage by international agree
ment and dwelt on the Wolcott COM
! mission, quoting from Wolcott's report
on the same, made in the senate, to
| show that the party nationally was
not sincere in its efforts to obtain BIZ
metallism.
In the course of his speech he made
a sharp distinction between a Re
publican and a silver Republican, say
ing that Republican could not be a
silver man any more than he could be
democrat, nor could a silver man be
a Republican. The tariff was not an
issue, but bimetallism was the only
| issue. and if they could vote for Bryan
in SO, when protection was threatened.
he failed to see why they could not
vote for silver in '9S, when protection
was not threatened. In closing he
dwelt at some length on the pledges
made by the Republicans and silver
Republicans, and the pledges they had
authorized him to make. He demanded
that these Republicans all stand true
to the cause of silver, even as he had
done
The meeting closed with another
| selection from the ladies' quartette
and with cheers for Cannon.
