The War Is On.

Bloodless as it may be, it is heverthe.
less fact that the war is, to all intents
and purposes, on. Up to the hour ol
going to press there are no reliable dis
patches indicating the loss of man on
either side, but it is, mt this writing,
momentarily expected that the news OF
the meeting of the opposing laval fleets
and consequent sansuinary conflict
will be flashed over the wires. Thus
far the war has been notably a one
sided affair, Uncle Sam having decid.
edly the best of it. In the capture OF
the enemies vessels, he has been sue
cessful to marked degree, having taken
in no less than thirteen, having value
including their cargoes, of more than a
million dollars, while the enemy has
but one. a small coaling vessel, to her
credit.
The report Of the capture of Matanzas.
Cuban port, by the Sampson feet on
Thursday in the brief space Of eighteen
minutes, after firing SO shots is not con-
firmed as we 90 to press. The lombard
ment Of Manila, the capital of the
PHILIPPINE Islands. by our Asiatic feet
may have eventuated before this paper
meets the eye Of the reader, and other
important military movements in Cuban
waters are hourly expected. Every
thing connected with the war situation
looks decidedly favorable from an
American standpoint. We have as
surances of neutrality on the par of all
of the leading nations, unity and conf
dence at home and ample facilities and
means to prosecute the war to a success
full termination.
1t may now be conceded, that it is but
a question of time, and not long time
either, when the Spanish. Cuban war,
for the suppression Of which we are
now at war with Spain, will be ended
and Cuba be free.

Memorial and Eneampment.

General c. B. Clark, department COM
mander South Dakota q. A. r., has
issued an order calling special attention
to the observance of Memorial Day-the
30th day Of May. He urged that it be
made the p,ost sacred of our anniversary
days, and asks that arrangements be 30
completed that no soldiers grave be
overlooked or forgotten.
The w. r. G. and Sons of Veterans
are asked to cooperate in the arrange
ments, and he also called attention to
the fact that by the action of the state
encampment at Redfield a resolution
was passed asking city councils or other
organizations to assist in bearing the
burdens of preparation. Particular at
tsntion is called TO religious services to
be held on the Sunday preceding Mem
orial Day, and the enlistment of chill
dren in the exercises of both occasions.
Referring to the coming state encamp-
nent, General Clark says:
The department encampment meets
at Canton, June 7.S.9. The council of
administration will hold it's first session
at p. m. Thursday, June 7. Opening
session of the encampment at s p. m.
Tuesday. If any post has failed to re-
port names of delegates or comrads
entitled to seats in the encampment, let
it be corrected at once. so that the as
sstant adiutant general can complete
his encampment rosters. The local
committee at Canton is making elabo:
rate preparations for the reception and
entertainment of the largest encam p
ment eyer held in the state. Sufficient
and commodious quarters will be pro-
vided. An immense pavilion will be
used for assembly purposes. We expect
to secure the attendance of the COM
mander-in-chief. One fare for the
round trip will be secured over all lines
Of railway.-Huron Special.

The Lawrence county members of the
commission expect to raise $1,000, most
of which has been secured already.
A letter from the eastern part Of the
state says the prospects afe that 65 per
cent of the counties will make appro-

with the promise that the legislature
will reimburse them next winter.
Another meeting will be held in about
a week, when the plans will be matured
and preparations be made for active

New Law Office and Mining Exchange.

|
Next week +. g. Johnson will open
his Offices now being fitted up on the
ground floor Of the Vienna Hotel corner
IN this 'ity. Mr.. Johnson was for sev
eral years a practicing Attorney at Law
in Chicago lie will take up general
law practice in this state, and make q
specially of mining law and conveyan.
ctng.
Mr.. Johnson is interested in mining
property Of his own which he is devel-
oping and is familiar with the boundless
resources of the southern Hills in rich
minerals. He fully realizes that the
cooperation Of capital is all that is re
qrired to develop great many pros
poets in thc southern Hills into valuable
producing mines, which would in turn
create a demand for the erection Of
smelters and reduction plants, and build
up the industry of the whole southern
Hills. To this end Mr.. Johnson pro-
poses to make a specially Of mining
brokerage and list for sale and develop
ment all of the good mines and prospects
in the southern Hills, with samples and
specimens of ore from each, suitably
displayed and labeled, and will then
offer to mining investors and capitalists
in the east better inducements than can
be found in any other mining section,
in the way Of desirable properties at
reasonable terms AID prices. Mr..
Johnson asks the hearty co, operation of
the mine and prospect owners by
bringing in specimens and samples of
their ores and listing with him. No
charge will be made unless the proper
ties are sold.
Mr.. Johnson is fully equipped for
assaying, being a graduate of that de-
partment IN the Armour Institute at
Chicago, and will make personal exami
nations of all properties. He will also
have his agent at the Mines and Mining
Building at the Omaha Exposition to
show the ores to mining investors and
direct them to the southern Hills.
The desirable mines and prospects are
here, and with liberal inducements in
the way of terms and prices. which can
be given only by the owners themselves,
and an active mining exchange through
which they can be brought to the atten-
ton of capitalists. as is done in all other
mining centers, there is no reason why
the southern Hills should not equal, and
soon surpass the northern Hills in the
number of producing mines. Let every
body assist in making this new enter
prise great success for the southern
Hills.

Broke Iaif.

Fred S. Rollins, recently sentenced to
% months in the state prison for
forgery, succeeded in making his escape
from the Lawrence county Jail in Dead
wood on Saturday night last. He was
supplied with pair of old shears by
some one on the outside, by which
means he removed enough bricks from
the south wall of the Jail to admit of his
escape through the aperture made. His
escape was unknown to the officers
until the next day, giving him con-
siderable time to make good his escape,
but it is believed he will be captured in
a few days. Twenty-Five dollars reward
is offered for his apprehension.

1t appears, says the Review, that
ont of 200 men Of Dsadwood that stand
willing to volunteer their services in
driving the Castilian from the soil of
Cuba, 100 hope to be mustered IN as
officers. The remaining ten who have
no aspirations other than a duty they
owe to a just cause, are content to
render their services as priyates, but are
as apt to be discharged at the close of
the war as major generals Of volunteers.

Mining Items.

IL. Is. Swain, formerly of this place,
now engaged in mining at Ragged Top,
is reported as having bright prospects
and feeling very confident of future
success. The Pioneer Times, in recent
issue, says he has lease on three claims
of the A. ]. Smith group, and is feeling
greatly encouraged over his prospects.
At depth of twenty-three feet in the
shaft he has chambered to a width of
fifteen feet, showing the ore to extend
beyond the walls. The edge Of the ore
was struck ON one side but not on the
other. The shoot is three feet high.
Mr.. Smith has taken out of the chamber
upwards of twenty tons of ore that
averages $43 per ton.
NORTH STAR GROUP.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
North Star group, six miles west of this
place. The shaft on the William lode
has reached the 90 foot mark and will
be further sunk to the 100 foot leyel
when the vein will be cross cut, after
which, we are informed by Superin-
tendent Shenck, that it is the intention
Of the company to extend the shaft to
the 200 foot level when the vein will
again be cross cut. The present work
ings are not in tho ore, the vein being
located about 10 feet on the side, hence
any change in the character of the ore
at the present depth may only be sur
missed, but the comp6ny is hopeful of
finding marked improvement in cross
cutting when the l0O.foot leyel is
reached.
WAITING OPPORTUNITY.
The free-miling and concentrating
ores of Lawrence, Pennington and Gus
ter ccunties must sooner or later direct
the attention Of mining men. There
are well defined fssure veins inclosed
between almost perfect vertical walls
that can be counted by fifties, which re-
quire only nominal sum of money
put into the ground judiciously to de-
velop mines of permanent productive
ness in the output Of bul ion. We can
hardly understand what justifes such
indifference on the part of our local
mining men TO allow these known ore
deposits to remain undeyeloped, when
the business judgment of the most com.
petent men should proclaim their COM
mercial importance. Review.
ROCKFORD AND VICINITY.
Rockford and the mining district sur
rounding the town is near the northern
line of Pennington county, and the
southern boundary of Lawrence county.
The importance of tho mineral interest
of those communities has not heretofore
been fully shown, for with the exception
of solid development on one or two
mines, little has been done in manner
to determine the extent or value of the
