ARanNIA

Tuesday night, February ga, at tne
opera house, Argonia Literary Society," Oh
college, celebrated the birthday Oh
the "Fathsr of his Country" and its "
seventh Anniversary, by presenting to the
pubIic the following splendid programme
The house was iammed full, every scar
being taken half an hour before tne E'0S
of the curtain. Many came from a long
distance in the country, and when ttis
remembered that the roads had no BOTTOM,
this may be considered as a compliment
to the society, that people would take
such risks In order to be present
There were eight numbers on the pro-
eramme, beside the encores and the play
"a College Saturday Night" 10 speak
critically of each number as IL deserves
would take more time and space than are
of our command. Besides we have nao
occasion to mention the performance OF
most of the young ladies in eatertain-
ments hsretofore, aud we imagine tAs
public is pretty we'll acquainted VIII
them. This Is the best programme ever
presented by ArEonia, and everything Wss
nm to the usual high standard OF excel
lencs.

new mill at the Bismarck mine a mile
and a half from Keystone. The mine
is owned by the Big Hit Mining & Mill
ing Company Of Milwaukee, Wis, Mr..
John q. Mates resident superintend-
emit. This concentrating plant will be
fully equipped with the latest modern
machinery, A large force Of men is at
work laying pipe from the pumping
station to the mill. The main building
is nearly completed, giving a floor space
OF eighty-seven by one hundred and
sixty feet. The machinery will all be
shipped from the east, two carloads hav-
ing already arrived. The machinery
supply for the mill consist of twenty
carloads. There will be three boilers
of l00-horse power each, one of which
will be placed in a few days. There
will also be two large engines OF ESQ
horse power, of the Atlas pattern. The
boilers and engines for the mill and for
the puruping station are furnished by
the famous Atlas Engine Works, of In
dianapolis, Ind, and are Of the best.
The well to supply water for the mill is
being sunk at the Junction of Buckeye
gulch and Battle creek, a distance of
nearly a mile, and waler will be forced
through pipes to mill by a Snow pump.
The Gates Iron Works. of Chicago, will
supply the hosting machinery for the
mine-the building for which will be in
course of erection in a few d~ays-hav-
ing been delayed by slow delivery of
lumber. The hoist room will be 33x70
feet, and a large Ingersol air compressor
will be placed in the engine room. Car.
penter and mason work is being rushed
toward completion and, if supplies ar
rive on time, the mill will be in opera
ton in about sixty days. This concen-
trating plant, consisting of mill, hoist
and pumping station, is in personal
charge of w. NJ. Young, a first. class
mechanical engineer Of twenty years
experience, and is we'll known in all the
western and southern mining states.
Mr.. Young designed and drafted the
plans for the entire concentrating plant
which, when completed, will be the fin
est without a single exception. Of any in
the southern Hills. Undoubtedly there
will be others of this process placed in
the Hills when its many merits are gen.
orally known to the public. Large
plants have been built and are now sue
cessfully operating in several Of the
western states, and are proving a fine
paying investment for the mine own
ers. The lumber required for the plant
amounts to 100000 feet, and is being
furnished by Clifford & Leedy and the
Hazeltine mill, near Keystone-Key'
stone Miner.

Magneslte a.

The following letter has been receiv-
ed from Professor J E. Todd, State Geo
logist Of South Dakotn:
VERMILLIoN, S. d., Dec s, '9S.
Editor Of Mining Review:
Dear Sir:-I should be glad to inquire
through your columns for small samples
Of magnesite, such as may be sent by
mail. | have had several requests re-
Gently for this mineral. / have receiv-
ed several samples from different local
tiles in the Black Hills, purporting to
be this mineral, but thus far have
found none genuine. A word of caution
may not only be Of help to prospectors
but also a means of saving unnecessary
expense. Three samples that have
been sent me were merely a fine grain
ed carbonate Of lime which may be
readily distinguished from magnesite
by the application Of cold weak acid,
even strong vinegar being sufficient.
Carbonate Of lime readily efervesces in
cold acid while ~magnesite does not effer-
vesce unless the acid is hot. it seems
not unlikely that valuable deposits of
magnesite may be found in the Black
Hills and l should be very glad to bring
into communication any knowing OF
such deposits with those who desire to
obtain magnesite for various purposes.
l may add that the State Geoiogist
would be glad to correspond with any
parties who believe that they have
found valuable mineral of any kind and
is ready at any time to test and report
upon samples. Small specimens, such
as may be sent by mail, are all that is
necessary.
Yours truly,
j. E. TODD,
State G~eologist.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you can't
get a better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much great
er in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the bestP
If both articles are brought promin-
emily before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment OH them and use
only the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims but are certain
to return to the one remedy that they
know to be reliable, and for coughs, colds
and Group there is nothing equal to
Ch~anfberlain's Cough Remedy. For

Col. Frank p. Williams-who in the
charge of Harvey Peak interests claims a
residence in Hill City, Custer and Key
stone has a remarkable cane which he
carries constantly with him. It's stem
is of New Mexican cactus the handle
a Hotchkins gun cartridge. The aver
age man wants to know how that was
cut out" and Col. Williams placing his
hand upon the numerous oblong perfor
atoms, where the pith of the plant has
been extracted, calmly tells his ques.
toner, that the delicate task was per-
formed by the industrious ant of those
southern climes. The cowboys on the
southern trail, it seems, cut down the
plant, removed the thorns, and then
coat the shaft with molasses and sugar.
They then lay the future cane upon ar
ant hill, where the prairie dog shifts and
the rattle snake glides over it. The
entire colony Of ants come forth, taste
the sweets, and forthwith devour all the
soft and pulpy parts, leaving the skele-
ton white and clean. Had any one
other than Col. Williams related this
interesting bit of natural history, the
CHRONICLE would have called for proofs,
but it is a well known fact that the Will
liams family as well rs the early WASH
ingtons, kept cherry trees in the back
yard, and bright keen hatchets about
the house. The descendants of such
stock cannot lie.

Mr.. E. N. Couch, an attendant from
the insane hospital at Yankton, arrived
in the city Tuesday morning, and left
for home again in the evening, having in
charge c. A. McAllister. Mr.. McAllister
is the man who was brought in from
bis home near Pringle about a month
ago and at that time adjudged insane
by the board Of insanity. He has been
in charge of relatives at his home near
Priuele for the last month. His condi-
ton is reported TO be growing worse,
and there is little or no hope of him re-
covering. S~oftening of the brain is the
cause Of the disease. Mr.. Couch in
forms us that the institution is doing
well this year, and as soon as an addi-
ton now in process of building is COM
pleted, which will take about two
months yet, there will be more room for
the accommodation Of the patients. The
faculty has hopes that the coming lesis
lature will do more for the asylum than
the last one did.

Educational Meeting.

An invitation has been extended to
the members of the Black Hills Educa
tional association to become member
of the Nebraska State Educational as
ISOLATION. This invitation was receiv-
ed at the last meeting of the Black
Hills association. and President G. nj.
Pinkerton appointed a committee to
consider it. If the Black Hills teach
ers desire to become members of any
state, the advantage in their joining
the Nebraska association is at once APP
parent. The South Dakota association
will hold its annual meeting this year
at Redfeld, December 26, 81, % and
30. To attend this meeting Black Hills
teachers must spend six days on the
road, in going from here to Redfisld
and back, and even at the holiday rate
the fare is more than half the salary
received by a majority of teachers in a
month. Where schools are given but
one weeks vacation as they are in
Deadwood and Lead, the teachers a
not get to Redfeld and back in time to
begin work after the holidays, if they
spend any time at all at the conven-
ton. The Nebraska association, on the
other hand will hold its annual meet
ing during the same period in which
the Redfeld meeting is to be held, and
Black Hills teachers can attend and
spend not to exceed two days enroute.
As a pure matter of benefit, a member
ship in the Nebraska association would
be ~unexcelled, owing to the eminent
educators that Nebraska claims. 1t is
quite likely that a number OF Black
Hills teachers will attend the Lincoln
meeting this year.-Pioneer-Times
