BLACK HILL PRODUCTS.
Great Wealth in Cattle and Sheep
Products Now Developing.

II Is thought by r"sny uniformed
people that the Black Hills produce
nothing of value but products from the
mines. During the past year, says the
st. Louis Globe Democrat, there were
shipped from Belle FourChe $500 car
loads of cattle, with an estimated valu-
alton of $227j,000. From Rapid City
about 500 carloads were shipped, valued
at S475,O00. From the cattle district con-
tiguous to Edgemont, in the southern
hills, it is estimated that 1000 carloads
of cattle We're shipped. with a value of
81 900, 600 This makes a total valuation
Of the cattle shipped from the Black
Hills ranges of Si,750, 000 The estimated
value Of the horses shipped is placed
at $500, 900, the building stone $500, 900,
the manufactured brick 800 900, lum-
ber 81, 100000 lime and stucco S25, 900,
and S7,5O0,O00 for the output of gold.
The sheep industry of the hills has as
sumed large proportions in the past
year.
Five years ago there were not more
than half a dozen floCks in Pennington
county, now there are thousands. There
were shipped from Rapid City during
the year 125, 900 pounds of wool, valued
OF S17, 500 and from Pierre about 300, 900
pounds were shipped, which came for
the most part from the Black Hills
ranges This makes a total of 425000
hounds valued at $4,000. 1t is esti-
mated that 10000 sheep were shipped
for mutton, valued at 100000.
The largest sheep district is in the
vicinity of Edgemont. 1t is. estimated
that 500, 900 pounds of wool were shipped
during the year. valued at $4,000.
Eighteen thousand sheep were shipped
east for mutton, valued at S54,o0O This
makes a total OF s2ll 800 which the
sheepmen of the Black Hills ranges
have received from their sheep during
the year 1t is stated that the number
of sheep will be more than doubled in
the next five years.
The Black Hills ranges are especially
adapted for the raising of sheep, and
many of the largest cattle companies
are dlsposing of their herds and in
vesting in sheep.

White ParasOls

of pin white silk, with cord bars
and deep stripe borders are much
sought for. No end to our assort-
ment. Plain white Centers, with
rich corded stripe edge in plain col
ors are also wanted, while lace in
servings and solid color borders are
considered quite swell.
Lace inserting effects are dainti-
ly introduced into plain white China
silk Parasols, while the airiest and
dressiest creations are modelled in
breezy chiffon rulIles and gathering
or ruffled all over in guzzy white
China silk of high lustre.
Then, there's the velvet trimmed
parasol, a revival of the days of
Aud Lang Syne. These have fancy
silk covers in plain shades, polka
dots, etc, and while quiet in gen.
eral appearance, are exceedingly
effective when used as color con-
trast.
The children never got so much
attention from us before in the
way of parasols. Styles are just as
pretty as those for the grown up
folks, and the variety is quite as
great. Parasol prices this year be-
gin at 10 cents and run to $40 if you
want to.
