EXECUTIVE CHAMBER.
Conforming to established custom,
hereby appoint Saturday, April 23rd

Of the state to lay aside their business
cares and social burdens and devote tc
the day their best efforts in planting
forestry and beautifying their homes
while they permanently benefit the
commonwealth thereby
1t is we'll known fact that no similar
amount Of labor will meet with as rich
reward as that Of planting forestry,
consequently no labor performed upon
our homes should be done with greater
skill and care than the day devoted each
year to planting trees, and l respect.

A NEW DISCOVERY,

a Custer correspondent writing the
Rapid City Journal under date of April
10, and over the nom deplume OF
"Sylyanite, says: "a new gold find
has recently been made about nine
miles northeast of this place by w W.
Chalis and Alex Madill. The gold is
found in quartz associated with sylvan
ite and tetradmite. The vein is about
eighteen inches in width, and assays an
average of more than sixty dollars per
ton. The concentrates show values of
from 5000 to $1,000 per ton.
I'm 1875 squaw man named Al Gay
while out hunting near this find pick ed
up several pieces Of ore which we're
extraordinarily rich in free gold. Not
knowing whether it was really gold or
not he brought them 10 Custer After
being assured that it was gold he went
to Ped Cloud agency and got party OF
friends and his brother, William Gay,
and came back to secure his find. After
putting in part of two years looking for
1t he failed To locate the place. 1t is
known by several old timers that be-
tween French creek and Squaw creek
Gay put in most OF his time looking fof
his lost mine. The ore shown by Gay
was of brown color, showing consider.
able decomposed iron with a liberal
sprinkIing of coarse gold. 1t is Eot now
believed that the new find of Challis 4
Madill is Gays lost mine, but it confirms
the opinion Of all old timers that Gay
did find the gold as he represented. In
regard to Gays finding the gold as he
said he did, there can be but little doubr.
No one would put in several months
time looking for rich gold ore in one
locality unless he was satisfied that il
was there"

Mining Items.

The Deadwood Mining Review says
Minneapolis parties have recently
bonded and leased the Grizzley Bear
mine three miles south Of Hill City, and
propose to Immediately engage in active
development Of the ore bodies. This is
quite an old property having been work
ed off and on for a period Of - years,
but Notwithstanding, no considerable
depth has ever been reached on the
ledge.
THE LIZZIE GROUP.
The work of development upon the
above group Of mines, located near this
place, is still progressing, two shifts
being employed. The main shaft, being
sunk from the station in the tunnel, las
attained depth of about 40 feet, max
ing the vertical depth from the surface
about 100 feet. The yein has steadily
increased in width from the surface.
and is about 8 feet wide in the present
workings. This ysinl occurs in a
quartzite formation, and crosses at al
most right angle an immense quartzite
dixie, which is fully 800 feet in width.
This dixie runs southeast and northwest,
forming Q high mountain ridge OF
quartzite Of the primitive variety, and
is bounded on either side by the coun-
try rock, which is Of slate Of archean or
micaceous character. This dixie has
di 10 the southwest Of about 10 degrees
from the horizontal. Tns ore in the
vein is silicious, and highly mincralized
with iron and copper, carrying gold and
some silver The walls are very solid
and smooth, with a tale gouge matter
intervening. The copper ore occurs
largely in the tale at present depth, and
is mostly composed Of green carbonate
and copper glance. 1t is expected that,
at water level this will change to a
sulphide, or copper and iron pyrite
This is essentially a smelling ore, and
would be, with the addition Of little
lime, self huxing entailing small ex.
pense in its reduction The vein runs
from southeast to northwest, cutting the
formation, and has all Of the character.
stics Of true fssure.
The facilities here for cheap mining
and reduction, with plant established
on the ground, are most excellent The
elevation from the creek, which flows
at the foot Of the mountain, up to the
level of the tunnel is sufficient to admit
of the ore being delivered into the top
of the mill by its own gravity. There is
an abundance of water in FreLch creek
for all purposes, and plenty of timber
for mining purposes is found, not only
upon the Lizzie mine proper, but on all
OF the claims comprising this extensive
| group Numerous tests Of the ore have
been made both in the Hills and abroad
which range from 500 to $4,000 per
ton in gold. The copper occurs in kid
ney form, and sample tests show a con-
tent Of from . to 80 per cent metallic
copper, There are a number Of very
promising veins in this group. which
from all indications will prove in their
development equally as good as the one
above described, which il - but fair to
suppose will eventually prove 70 be Of
material benefit to the disric, in which
they are located, and to the Black Hills
at large.

A Protective Tariff Has Much to do With Il.

Mr.. Jacob Schoenhoff in the January
Forum has an article on the relations
between exports and wages, wherein he
declares, that higher wages and lower
labor cost are not incompatible, and
pointing to conditions in this country to
prove it. The cost of labor, he says, de-
ponds upon the output, and a low cost
can be maintained at a high rate OF
wages provided the product is CORE
s~pondingly increased. Thus improved
high speed machinery requires a class
of workmen superior to those employed
in over wage countries. The results
are improved quantity and quality, and
a correspondingly high standard Of liv-
ing for the workingman. The higher
wages that our workmen receive do not
prevent the competition of our Ameri-
can goods with the goods made in low
wage countries, for adverse conditions
are more than equalized by u greater
output.
Mr.. S%choenhoff forgets to give the pro-
| tective tariff it's due. The natian that
would exalt the standard of living among
its working people must give them a
tariff wall as a barrier to the competi'
ton of countries where labor is content
with the rudest Of shelter, clothing and
| fond.

that brought such a result. They we're
successful. however, In helping to spread
the opinion that New Mexico is mo-
fit for statehood, and if the truth was
known, il is one of the probabilities
that the gentleman who made that
statement based it on some of the lying
information furnished by them.
But statehood is not dead by any
means. The matter will be taken up at
the next session of congress. and ii its
advocates are successful the conduct OF
it's opponents will raise up before them
like a nightmare of the past and they
will find themselves eliminated from
participation In the political affairs Of
the new state. Their conduct will moi
be forgotten, but will come home TIC
roost in the little hen house office from
which they issued the filth for the be-
smearing of the name of New Mexico.
Their lies will then be found out, and
they will lose the respect both OF those
whom they misled and all decent citi'
zens. We doubt. however, their re-
spect now, for few could hold up any
newspaper or person who would attempt
to destroy territorial institution.
The advocates of statehood are thor
oughly aroused and a more determined
effort will be made at the next session Of

THE farmers of the country may be
hard up and in a pitiable condition and
starving for the necessities Of life and
not have enough clothes wherewith to
cover their nakedness, as the Demo-
cratic and Pop papers all over the coun-
try charge and assert and iterate and
reiterate, but facts seem to be against
all this. Here is one small fact for in
stance: A national bank was organized
recently in Iowa and farmers took three
fourths of the stock. OF course, from a
yellow journalism and Pop standpoint
this incident Is only another instance OF
the tyrannical, brutal, bloodsucking and
grasping tendencies of the money power
and the dangerous allurements to which
the sturdy yeomanry of this country is

Wholesome Influence of Good Color In
the Family Living Rooms.
Color is the most important element In
household decoration, as 1t il what most
forcibly strikes the eye. A great fault In
the furnishing Of the average house Is the
absence of color. In the name of good
taste all brilliancy and warmth are Danish
ed, and dull drabs, grays and browns pre-
vail In wall coverings, carpets and hang
ings. The influence Of environments on
mental and physical health is now fully
recognized by the medical profession and
should be better realized than it is by
everybody. While crude and conflicting
colors are unrestful, dull and muddy ones
are depressing and tend to produce melan-
choly, discomfort and low spirits in per-
sons who live among them. It is, Of
course, undesirable to hang a wall with
vividly tinted paper, although some reds
and soft yellows are highly pleasing where
no pictures or only black and white pic
lures, such as engravings, etchings and
photographs, are to be hung, but there are
warm cream and golden brown tones, soft
greenish grays, subdued old rose tints and
elves, which, although not brilliant, are
