The immense hay crop now being
grown in the Sunnyside means that stock
raising and dairying will become one Of
the greatest industries. This, together
with fruit raising, is likely to become the
chief eource of revenue, giving a greater
average income per acre than any other
products to which the land might be
devoted. Diversified farming is rapidly
becoming the rule, though il is fact
that many settlers have only had time so
far to get their orchards planted and their
alfalfa fields started.
This accounts for the remarkable fact
that in the midst of this rich agricultural
country eggs and poultry are 80 scarce as
to be almost unobtainable. Chickens
are today bringing So dozen in the Sun
nyside country, and It is almost impossi-
BILE to get them.
Hogs can be raised in the irrigated
county so as to bring small margin of
profit when sold as low as 21s cents a
pound. They frequently bring 4i4 to 5
cents on foot.
Hops are another important source OF
revenue. The aphis, or hop louise, is
unknown, on account of the warm, dry
weather during the growing period.
Hops are being grown in the Sunnyside
at cost OF n cents pound and con-
tracts have been entered into for the rails
ing OF hops next yeBr, delivering them,
baled, on the hop house floors, at ~
cents per pound. The cost here is some.
thing ovel 2 cents pound less than on
the west side of the mountains, where
persistent spraying is necessary to kill
the aphis.
Arrangements are now being made by
both old and new settlers to set out
total of 1900 acres more in orchard next
season, chiefly in winter apples.
Sugar beets grown in the Sunnyside
valley give phenomenal percentages of
sugar. These results have attracted the
attention of several beet sugar manu-
facturers, who have sent their experts
into the country to report upon the feas-
Utility of establishing sugar beet facto-
ries.

ties, we're grown this year in sufficient
quantities to supply the entire neigh

THE NEW GOLD STRIKE.
The Richest Mine Ever Discovered in
the Black Hills.
Nuggets as Big as Hazel Nuts---0re As
saying 100000 a Ton.

One of the richest gold discoveries
ever made in the Black Hills was made
by Charles and Lee Carr on Friday,
the 18th, while out looking after cattle.
The find was made on Lightning Creek,
nine miles southwest CT Custer, and in
close proximity to the Potsdam sand
stone. The formation Immediately
surrounding the vein is mica schists
and slate, intersected by dykes Of field
spathic, granite and hornblendic schlsts,
and veins of quartz and talcose states.
About 1900 feet to the westward Of the
find is the potsdam sandstone lying un-
conformably on the states and sch lists.
On top of the sandstone is the carboni
ferrous or lower limestone The trend
Of the formation is northwest and south
east and the course of the vein is near
ly southwest and northeast. The dip
of the vein is to the south, with a
gouge on the foot wall The ledge is
exposed ONLY where it crosses a ridge,
on both sides of this ridge the formation
is covered by drift and soil. The ex-
posure is about 60 feet in length and
discloses a vein from two to twelve
inches in thickness. The character Of
the ore is blush white quartz some
what discolored by the decomposition
Of iron. The gold occurs in the ore,
from the smallest specks imaginable
up to nuggets the size of hazel nuts
Judging by the ore exposed it will prob
ably 60 5000 per ton. Selected samples
have been taken from the vein that
from appearances will assay at least
100000 per ton The vein, the ore,
and the occurrence of the gold in the
ore all resemble the famous Holy Ter
ror in the keystone camp, both veins
are cross veins, each has a gouge, and in
both the gold occurs in nuggets. In the
Carr mine the ore on the surface is
much richer and the outcrop far more
extensive than that of the Holy Terror.
The owners, Mr.. Charles +. Carr, L.
f. Carr, G. f. Carr and +. d. Lecomp.e
have located group of twelve claims.
The only work so far dono is an opening
about two feet deep which exposes an
ore body twelve inches thick and sixty
feet in length where the vein has been
stripped. We are informed that it is
the intention of the owners TO at on ce
develop the property by sinking a shaft
on the main vein called the May lode.
The Carr mre is very favorably stu
ated as regards mill site for the treat
ment of its ores. Being within 5000
feet Of good spring of water, with &
down grade over smooth road all the
WAY to the spring. Mr.. Carr and sor
are to be congratulated on their gooC
luck in finding so valuable a property
and they certainly have the best wishes
Of all of the people Of this community.

These rangers who are not already on
duty will take their position from the
lst to the 10Th Of June, and their salary
will be $4,000 per month, instead Of
$4,000 as last year.
The duties of these rangers, as out
lined by Mr.. Hamaker, is to see to the
protection of timber growing on the
reserve. To lool. to it that the timber
is not cut, hauled or sold, except in ac-
cordance with the regulations, issued
from the general land Office to Mr.
Hamaker, who, through his proper Of
fcers, will see that they are strictly en-
forced. Another duty of the rangers,
and we should say it was of paramount
importance, is to use the utmost yigi4
lance TO guard against forest fires. 1t
will be their duty to see that these fires
are promptly put out, and will have au
thority to call upon citizens to aid them
in the work Also to see that those who
wantonly, or carelessly, start fires in
the timber are promptly brought to
justice.
We believe these measures are COM
mendable, and can only regret that they
were not put in force years ago before
our timber, which is of such inestimabe
value to the country, was so wantonly
and wastefully destroyed.

Forest Superintendent,

readers:
Mr.. G. w. Garbutt,
Forest Superintendent,
Sheridan, Wyoming.
Sir Respecting the matter of the
effect of sheep grazing within the Black
Hills forest reserve in South Dakota and
Wyoming, l have considered the facts
submitted in your report of January Z,
1899. 1t appears therefrom that there
were no sheep on the reserve last year,
with the exception of a small band Of
about hundred. which have since been
taken off, and that none should be allow
Ell therein, as their presence would re-
suit in serious injury to both the forest
growth and the water supply.
In view of these reports, it has been
determined not to admit sheep within
this reserve. You will, accordingly,
direct pour supervisor and rangers in
charge of this reserve to see to the en-
forcement Of existing regulations in the
matter, as found in paragraph 13 on
page Of circular of June 80, 1897, con.
tanning regulations governing forest
reserves.
Very respectfully,
