Attorney General Pyle has given an
opinion in the much talked of Soldiers
Home matter. He SAYS that each
mans voting right must be decided by
the election board Of Hot Springs, who
alone are judges of the right in any and
all election, and that the Home is part
of the city Of Hot Springs" In com.
menting on the above opinion the Star
says: This opinion disposes Of the idea
Of the Home being Reservation or
anything Of the kind, and shows that the
question Of the members voting is not
left the Commandanc or the Home
Board of Commissioners, but with the
Election Board.

MINING Items.

Homestake mining stock reached the
highest point in its history on the New
York stock exchange on the Goth inst,
and was quoted at $74 q share. Ten
shares Of the stock we're transferred
during the week on that market.
Work on the Grand Junction is still
being pushed with all the force which
can be worked to advantage, but they
will say nothing except that the rock is
very hard. What is the matter with
our working mine managers? Have
they all 'got hen on" and afraid they
will scare her off the nest? If so all
right, We can wait till the egg is laid,
but don't all commence 10 cackle at
once.

The development Of the Lizzie mine
below town continues without ceasing,
and we hear occasionally Of the rich
ore being found, but we are unable to
obtain any information which is au
thentic or reliable as to what has been
struck. Mr.. Love, the superintendent;
remains constantly at the mine, and al
though at all times sociable and kindly,
viii say never a word about the pros
poets of the mine, while the workmen,
who know their business, are equally

KLoNpIKE QUARTZ.
JEFF McDermott, an old Black Hitler
Who spent the past summer in the Klon-
dixie, was in Deadwocd on Wednesd ay
from his ranch near aCuster. He in
tends returning to the Klondike in the
spring. He is located on Sweet Greek,
about "a miles northeast of Dawson
where he owns some valuable quartz
property on which he has done consid.
erable work. He claims that it is the
best ledge he has seen in that country,
but is not yet sufficiently developed to
show how rich it really is. The district
in which he is located contains very little
gold ore and few we'll defined lodges.
About GOO miles this side of there he
owns some copper property, from which

THE HOLY TERROR MINE.
1t is nothing unusual to hear of q rich
strike in the Holy Terror mine, but the
find made last week 10 said to surpass
anything yet found in this famous pro-
ducer. The greater the depth-the
richer the ore grows in this mine. With
but six inch vein to commence with
at the surface, whose average values
was $29 in gold to the ton Of rock it has
grown to q twelve foot ledge with an
average value of $35 to the ton Of rock.
The Holy Terror ledge 10 the only one
which has been developed by capital,
and capital in doing IL has made an
enormous hit. For the amount OF
stamps employed in treating the ore
output this mine probably gives greater
ret1rns than any other mine on this con-
tinent.
The southern Black Hills have mum.
erous good gold prospects which await
the advent OF capital. and nowhere can
men OF means find better opportunities
to secure gold claims on reasonable
terms for development than In this Sec
ton of the Hills. There are other Holy
Terror mines but 80 far on account OF
lack Of money only one has yet been
found.-Hill City News.

The stampede at the Cape Nome gold

heavy in the spring, much more so than
that which formed the rush to the
Klondyke in the days Of widest excite
ment There are many reasons why
this should be 30. lst, the country is
easy of access with water transporta-
tion ali the way. End, the diggngs are
rich and very extensive like an ocean
beach, so there will be room for all, and
it is probable that all may be able to
procure claims Of their own as the size Of
claims will be regulated by the miners
themselves, as the general land com
missioner at Washington has decided
that the tide lands Of Alaska are not
public lands. which are subject to sale

statutory provision exists giving to the
government authority to grant conces>

should be hailed as good thing by the

and AS there is no particular skill re-
qnired, he who is the most industrious
will reap the fichest reward.
