tsrest with the purchasers. The con-
sideration has not yet been given out
but the reputation of the property
which compares favorsbly with any
other mining property in this section
would lead to the conclusion that it was
no small sum. The property vas thor
oughly examined BY rrof Rustin, well
known mining expert Of Omaha, upon
whose report the deal was consum-

At Hrs Old Tricks.

A letter was received at Rapid City
yesterday from Rossland, British 20.
lumbia, stating that Bob Floorman, for.
merly of Rapid, and Alex Chisholm,
formerly of Deadwood and Rockford,
were recently convicted on a charge of
sailing mine and swindling eastern
parties Particulars were not gwen
further than that Floorman's sentence
was five years and Chisholm's sentence
ten years in the penitentiary. The
swindling business was nothing new to
Floorman; he has been fortunate en-
ough, however. to escape the psniten-
tiary part of it heretofore. Floorman
was the foremost promoter of the Green
wood swindle in 1886, when he and
doctor" Taylor swindled poor old Matt
Latin out of about 100000. We are
endeavoring to ascertain the facts in
the case.-Pioueer-Times.

The Petition Denied.

In accordance with the recommends.
ton of Gov. Lee, that each county in
the state appropriate an amount equal
to one mill on the dollar of the taxable
property for the purpose of defrayine
the expenses of an exhibit of the re
sources Of the several counties at the
Trans Mississippi Exposition in Omaha
during the present year, petition was
submitted to the board of commission
ers of Lawrence county at their last
regular meeting, asking for such appro-
priation, which petition was denied by
the board upon tho grounds Of the
illegalty of such action, so declared by
the states attorney, who bases his
opinion upon Section l and 4 of Article
l3 Of the Constitution, as follows:
Sec l. Neither the State nor any
county, township or municipality shall
loan or give it's credit or make dona
tions to or in aid Of any individual, as
sociation or corporation except for the
necessary support of the poor, nor sub
scribe to or become the owner of the
capital stock of any association or cor
poration, nor pay or become RESPONSE
BILE for any debt or liability Of any in
dividual, association or corporation.
Sec. 4. The debt Of any county, city
town, school district or other sub.
division shall never exceed i've per
centum upon the assessed value of the
taxable property therein.

"The surveys have not yet been com.
pleted, and we ask that congress still
further extend the time in order that
it may become fully posted upon the
character of the lands proposed to be
reserved and the effect of the reserva-
ton before proceeding further. There
are forty-two townships in South Da-
kota affected by the Cleveland order ;
that is 1900 square miles of land is
taken from the public domain and re-
served forever, according to that pro
clamation. This would prove serious
blow to the development of Pennington,
Custer and Lawrence counties, and it
would deprive at least 1900 home
stenders of title to land which they
have practically earned under the
homestead laws. We hope that con-
gress will take the necessary action to
fully investigate this subject in order
that the proclamation may be modified
before the final Endorsement of its pro-
visions"

Mrs. JEFF McDernott informs the

of letter from her husband who is on
his way to Klondike. He is one Of a
party of forty men and he states they
are now about $50 miles from Skaguay
and 400 miles from Dawson City. They
left Seattle on August Il with a small
steamer OF their own, but an accident
happened to their steamer and they
had to abandon it. They made another
start September 10 on the Chief of
Seattle, going by way of Fort Wrangle.
They have been in no hurry to reach
their destination, preferring to prospect
on the way, and only aim to reach the
Klondike gold fields by April /. They
claim to have found some good diggings,
though none as rich as reported to haye
been found near Dawson City. AS be-
fore stated there are forty in the party
and Mr.. McDermott says they have
plenty of provisions to last them until
April /.

senting, says the Pioneer-Times, nearly
tevery town and section of the northern
Hills. The meeting was called to order
by President Gray, Secretary Rewman

blage was representative of the proml
nent pioneers and was the occasion Of a
reunion when "reminiscences were in
dulged in freely and a general good
feeling prevailed.
The report Of the secretary showed a
total membership of 255, 10 new names
being added to the list during the year.

ed member. The total receipts during
the year were $l25.25. There were dis
bursed for funeral and other expenses

society at heart aud no effort has bosu
made to shirk its unpleasant duties
Together with President John Gray, of
whom the society should feel very
proud, they have always been ready to

TO Sustain the Reserva Order.

Private information was received in
this city yesterday from Washington.
says the Deadwood Independent of last
Tuesday, to the effect that the forestry
commission, after a careful examination
Of the claims of the Black Hills people
was ready to make a report recommend
ing that the executive order of Presi.
dent Cleveland. setting aside over a
million acres of forest land in the Hills
as reserve be sustained. Thus almost
every hope that the order would be
repealed or revoked is dissolved unless
some mighty influence can be brought
to bear at once. This would be a
disastrous occurrence for the people oi
the central and southern Hills, as a
vast amount of excellent mineral land
is embodied in the Cleveland reserve
Judge G. c. Moody, of this city, is now
in Washington, and it is hoped that he
may yet succeed in having the order
annulled.

Tne Klondlke Boom.

Notwithstanding the discouraging re-
ports from the Yukon region. says the
New York Engineering and Mining
Journal. the transpoi tation companies
are evidently making every effort to
secure all they can from the Klondike
boom. 1t is not only notable but also,
We think, disagreeable, fact, that
prominent officers Of nearly all the rail-
road companies are directors in Klon-
dixie companies, which are for the most
part scarcely removed from the category
Of Wildcats" 1t is not surprising,
therefore, to find that the different trans
continental lines are putting out all
sorts of inducements for travellers from
the east, and are making preparations
for large number of passengers Even
80 rational a railroad man as President
James j. Hill, Of the Great Northern
Railroad, has expressed the belief that
between now and June there will be
100000 passengers to the Pacific Coast
beyond the ordinary number, and all
the roads are preparing additional roll
ing stock to carry the expected crow ds
The coast transportation companies ara
also preparing, and for some time past
there has been a market in New York
for all the old steamers that could be
patched up to stand voyage to the
Pacific. Naturally these companies are
ignoring or concealing the unfavorable
news, and their circulars and advertise
ments present the most favorable views
Of the country, too often with very little
regard for fact
The result of this booming will be
especially disastrous for the man from
the east, who will be attracted by all
this advertising, and who have, as a
rule, no knowledge whatever of mining
or prospecting, and very little expert
ence Of any kind to qualify them for
what they must face in the Yukon.
The western prospector has at least
some idea what he can expect; and his
experience will give him great advant-
age, though it is very doubtful whether
even that advantage will bring much
profit to those who take the risk.

remembered that during the discussion
of tine last sundry civil appropriation
bill there was a great deal of talk of the
disaster which the enforcement of that

the northwestern states, and congress
provided that the order should be sns-

that the surveys might be made Mr..
