after a wolf a day Or two ago. lie mounted
a horse and started after the wolf. The
animal intent on carrying off a sheep made
a large circle round and round the barn,
the hoy close after OH the horse. Finally
the horse became exhausted and the boy
went TO the stable to get a fresh horse and
continued the chase, the wolf still keeping
his circle around the sheep. The second
horse tired out and the wolf also was badly
used up. but could still run faster than the
tired out horse. The hoy determined to
have the wolf, jumped off the horse. took
of his shoes and himself gave chase to the
snarling and swapping animal. which
turned upon him when he overlook it. But
the boy gathered up some stones and pclted
the vicious brute until he had attracted the
attention of some hunters who came and
dispatched the wolf with a gun.

Prosperous Year for the Hills.
The Black Hills district has seen the

amount Of bullion produced is fully 81 .OO0,-

Homestake Company has exceeded its
output Of last year by $25O,O0O and
the many e mines, such as the Holy
Terror, BOley, Gilt Edge, Ragged Top
mines and others, have made the rest of
the increase. The Homestakc has been
dropping 400 stamps all of the year, having
milled a total of 495, $50 tons of rock. The
Highland Company, which is under the
same management as the Homestake. has
kept l40 stamps going, which have treated
147 tons of ore. The valuation of the Home
stake bullion for the year was 5000. 1920.

Marvellous Escane,

\ remarkable escape from instant death
occurred in the Homestake mine at Lead
Oh the SO0-foot level, where a man named
Henry jacobson was at work. He had just
finished drilling several holes in the rock,
and was charging them with sticks of giant
powder. He had eight sticks altogether,
seven of which he used. The eighth he
placed in his hip pocket and turned to de-
sccnd Il siNty-fOot ladder to the lower level.
Some way a spark from the burning fuse
caught OH the stick Of powder in the mans
pocket and commenced to burn. The slan
was paralyzed with fright, but managed to
drawer than the rest, ram up to the man
and jerked the burning stick Of powder
from his pocket. Sometimes giant powder
will burn and not explode.

Joint, until now nothing is left Of 1t. Her
toes also have begun to slough away.
Not until long after the red marks had
become white, scaly patches, did the moth
er suspect what the trouble was. Then
she secreted Hattie, and later little Han
nah also developed the same symptoms,
and she, too. was kept a close prisoner at
the Garry cottage. With the utmost care
the mother hid the children from suspi-
cious eyes and concealed the disease from
the public.
Mrs. Garry, with all the rest Of her
trouble, had to struggle to make a triple
living. Finally she could not contend
against her straitened circumstances long
u. She told her story to the county au-
thorities. New Lexington became a panic
stricken town. Then came doubts Of the
disease really being leprosy. But experts
were summoned and it was found to be
only too true. Then the case was report
ed to the State Board Of Health. The
mother, In going with her children to the
refuge, agrees not to leave the lines set
about the place or to mingle with the out
side world. The township authorities will
keep her supplied with the n%ecessaries of
life, delivering them near the house.
Mrs. Garry is a soldiers widow, and
the leprosy in the children is hereditary,
the father having contracted it in the
South while a soldier in the civil war.

LEASING OF STATE LANDS.
Increase Of ies,2s2 Acres in south
Dakota This Year.

Dakota This Year.
The resort Of the land commissioner
shows that while there was an increase of
1855 ,252 acres leased in 1893 over that so
taken in 1897, there was yet LASS, 1855 acres
of state land which is not paying any v
enue to the state. Much of this lies idle
because it is sections of the state where
there is plenty of ~pasturage without the
necessity of leasing the state lands, and II
great deal also goes Unbiased through
agreement of the parties of the neighbor-
hood in which it lies, to make no bids for it
and use it in common. The total amount
secured from leases in 1898 was $50. 2286.
which wa an increase of $lO,27O over the
amount secured by the state from this
source in 1897.
5slc largest acreage leased in any ono
county is in Brown County, in which this
year $1,000 acres are under lease; Sphinx is
second with $1,000, and Butte next with
$4,000 The smallest amount leased in any
IL county is 800 acres in Union, but this
is because practically all the land in this
county has been sold. There are no leases
in Clay County. the state having disposed
of all its interests in that county.
Up to the present date the state has dis
posed of equities and a few tracts of decided
land on warranty deeds. of $8,S23 worth of
Taylor lands, and is keeping up the en-
penses of the remainder which is of any
value by the rentals from the same.
