Equality's Donkey Engine.

Comrades and Friends of the B G G:
| want to have another personal
talk with each of you on the same
subject as before: 1.-THE Donkey En-
CINE" Ny letter has brought numer-
Gus replies from all parts of the
country and we at Equality feel very
grateful for the interest you have
taken in us. We now have a fund of
near $50, and the fund is growing
every day. But feel we must have
that donkey engine inside of the next
sixty days. Our sawmill is now in
course of erection and will no doubt
be ready to run by Oct. Is.
And right there we need the donkey
engine. have been here about six
months and feel as if / can give a
somewhat intelligent opinion of the
lands and products of Equality
colony, and can say that while have
farmed some of the richest lands in
Missouri and the rich black lands of
Texas, the fact is j had never seen
any real rich land until I saw the
land of Skagit county, and especially
of Equality. In this land of wonder
full vegetable growth. the best adapt
ed to grass and stock raising have

ever seen, where the largest crops OF
hay and oats are grown year after
year without anv fertilizer, where
crops have never been known to fail,
where we practically have no summer
or winter, as we know it East-in this
land and under those conditions is
Equality located.
But to get the full benefit of those
conditions our land must be cleared
of logs, trees and stumps, and there
is no power so cheap as a donkey" to
do it, as it only eats wood and kicks
only when overloaded. which is hard
to do. Now let us look the matter
square in the face. This land cost us
about $l0per acre; cleared and plowed
is easily worth 800 per acre. That is
what such land sells at. But it's use
value cannot be estimated. Now this
place is to be the future home of d
great many of you, and the quicker
we get this land cleared and lumber
sawed the quicker we will be able to
offer you individual houses and the
other comforts of life that this good
land and climate produce.
And | have so much faith in the fu-
ture of this country, and especially
in the future of Equality colony, that
| make this offer: For every 800 put
into the machinery fund. or turned in
on membership fees, [ will put in the
machinery fund $50, up to the amount
of $500; or, in other words, will put
in $500 if others will put mp 5000, and
when that is done the "donkev" is
ours. Who will be first on the list?
Fraternally yours,
OLIVER 2. DARR.

Money for Legitimate Mining.

An experienced mining promoter
writing to the western Mining World"
among other things has the following to
say, which is so strictly true that we
publish it as something which our pros
pectors as a general thing do not sufi.
ciently realize:
THE most serious obstacle TO the sue
cessful handling and sale OF mining pro-
perties today is the prospector and mine
owner. They frequently have no fair
conception of values, and are generally
in too much Of hurry, and won't give
either the broker or buyer time to in
vestigate. The result is that many a
good looking prospect lies unCeveloped
from year to year, and many a good
camp is held back until it gets bad
name, and finally becomes almost i'm
possible to get anyone to even look into
its merits. Prospectors should remem-
Der that it costs a promoter about $500
to $1,000 to go east, stay month or two
be done in minute. Eastern men are
not sitting in idleness waiting for the
promoter to come. They are busy men,
and frequently one is put off from day to
day for month before an interview is
granted. Then the expense of an ex-
pert to eX.r,;ne the property must be
guaranteed generally, and by the time
an agreement is reached, even under
the most favorable conditions month
or six weeks has elapsed. And every
interview does not result in a sale by
any means. Should you fail to proper
ly impress the prospective investor, your
whole month is lost. Should your pro-
perty not be what is wanted-and it sell
dom is-then your time is lost and YOU
must begin all over again on new tact.
Should preliminaries progress satisfac-
tsrily and an expert be sent to look at
the mine your troubles have only just
begun. He may report favorably but
the chances are about four out of FIVE
that he will report adversely. This is
because he is free from enthusiasm. and
does not see things as rosy as the prom.
otter and prospector do. In such cases,
the promoter must begin all over again
To sum it all up, prospectors and pro-
moters must not expect to sell worth
less prospect at all. They must carry on
strictly legitimate business give ample
time for investigations. make prices COM
mensurate with values, be satisfied with
legitimate profit, and under such cir
cumstances plenty of monev will be
forthcoming for mining enter prises."

The Governorship.

Chairman Herried announces that he
has closed up the headquarters of the
republican campaign working force and
resumed his private business. He says
that the governorship will have to be
settled by an Official count, but congrat-
ulates the republican party upon the
sweeping victory which has been
achieved. The legislature and all the
state officers are safely in the Republis
can fold, with the governor still in
doubt.
A late special to the Pioneer-Times
from Sioux Falls says: All reports to
the contrary. the governorship has not
been decided, nor will it be until the
official count is made. The county COM
missioners have not completed the
canvass of the vote in all the counties
yet. Even should the face of the
returns show majority for Lee there
is no question in the minds of the best
lawyers here that Phillips would GO in
on a contest That the fusion ballots
were illegal no attorney with any stand
ing will pretend to deny. If, however,
Lee has majority of the votes cast,
there will be no contest.

nation is as follows:
I'm agreeable conformity 70 the proc
lamation of the president hereby des-
ignate Thursday, November 24th, 1898,
as day of Thanksgiving and prayer,
and request the citizens of the state to
lay aside their business cares in observ.
ance of the day.
"As people We have reason to re-
joce that our daily toll has been light
ened with many blessings during the
past year; our harvest has been good,
our general health has been excellent
and our progress materially speaking
has been all that could be expected un-
der existing conditions. A war unwel-
come because all war is frought with
unwelcome features. has been fought
and won to glorious conclusion to tn e
end that human suffering may be re-
lieved and that popular rights may be
exte.. ded into the dark places of politi-
cal tyranny. Our brave soldier boys
who suffered in the camps and on the
fields of battle have many of them re-
turned to us and those in far off Manila
are reported in good health and spirits.
For these manifest blessings we have
reasons to return thanks to the all-wise
power which protects us in our distress
and promotes our prosperity"

The Black Hills is about to enter a
very prosperous time, says the Black
Hills Mining Review of recent date
Never before in its history has this part
Of the state Of South Dakota had such
bright prospects. 1t is the history Of
every mining country that there must
be certain number of years of expert
ments and developments before capital
will enter with anything like speed.
The Black Hills has now practically
passed through the experimental stage.
Every mining camp in Lawrence county
has from one to dozen producing
mines, whose exact depth to the first or
second ore contacts, the average value
of the ore and the best method to be
used for the treatment of the ore are
known. Money invested in any Of the
camps is placed with almost certain
surety. The different processes, which
are used to treat the ore, have now
reached state Of perfection never be-
fore considered possible. There is not
much more Of the experimental stage in
the treatment Of Black Hills ores. The
southern Hills has also, to a great ex.
tent, passed through this experimental
stage. Capital is coming into Pennington
and Custer counties with considerable
freedom. The Holy Terror, Bismark
Sunnyside and other mines have
demonstrated that the small vericals of
free.milling ores, when followed, open
up wider and richer with depth. The
southern part ofthe Hills is commencing
to attract attention both locally and out
side Of the state as never before. Custer
county is not going far behind the more
northern counties.

Letter from Manila.

Below we give some extracts from q
letter from one of our soldier boys in
Manila, which will be of interest to his
many friends in this place.
Dear Father Yours Of the Oath OF
July at hand. received it on the 18th
of September. 1t found me well and
again on board the st. Paul. We land
ed here on the first of September an d
have moved camp three times since.
They just keep us and the cavalry NOV
ing all the time. Well | have heard
that this is fine place, but the people
who say it is a fine place don't know
what they are talking about. There is
lots of fruit all right, bnt man can't
live on fruit very long. There isn't any
peaches or apples or plums or anything
Of that kind, but bananas and cocoanuts,
pineapples and oranges, appias, IN mongols
and chinese oranges are plentiful. 1t
don't, however, have the good taste like
the Owaho fruit.
You asked me about the Sandwich
Islands. Well what ! saw Of it,
thought it was paradise, but think it
will be overrun with people from the
United States now that it has been an
nexed. | went out on the train when
we were there and saw some fine fruit
farms. First we passed banana farm
then pineapple farm, they were plant.
ed in rows like corn and about as far
apart. Then we passed rice farm, and
then we commenced to pass small coffee
groves and small farms of all kinds Of
fruit until we came to the sugar mills
and the cane. They make the finest
kind Of sugar and have the largest plant
in the world, they have also the finest
fruit ever ate.
l hear that the United States are 60.
ing to hold the PHILIPPINES but they are
very foolish if they do. for it will be a
Getriment to our government. They
will have to keep large army to keep
the natives down. In fact that is all
that is keeping us here now. Well, /
got pass to 60 down town and have
just returned from Manila. 1t is a big
place all right, but awful dirty, don't
know what they do with their slops but
from appearances think they feed it to
the chinese and natives.
Well if mother thinks / was unhappy
when | had that picture taken she is
mistaken for i never felt better in my
life than / haye since / have been in
the army and never more conte ted.
There is always something new and you
don't have to stay in one place until you
got tired of it. am going to get mon
key and bring it home with me if l can,
they are as thick here as chipmonks in
the Hills.
Well, [ am glad that I came on this
trip, wouldn't have missed it for any
thing, as the experience is worth a
whole lot to me and 1 have seen so
much that otherwise would not have
seen.

The report which was pu blished in
most Of the great daily papers over the
country, to the effect that the volunteer
troops would be ordered home from
Manila as soon as the troops now en-
route should reach that country has
been contradicted. Adjutant General
Corbin denies the story, saying General
Otis objects on the grounds that the
situation will make large force
necessary there for some time. So
Johnnie will not come marching home
quite so soon as we thought he would.
