military drama, "a Celebrated Case"
Manager Richey at Hot Springs, where

ever in the Hills" Concerning a recent
performance the Minneapolis. Journal
says: That fascinating French drama
"a Celebrated Case" with its wealth ot
improbability, but powerful and inter
esting story, was given an adequate pre-
sentation at the Lyceum theatre last
evening.
The drama was given under the direc
ton of William Lloyd, an actor of ability
who appeared to fine advantage in both
the prologue and the play proper. l,
the play Mr.. Lloyd was the Count d,
Mornay, the French noblemen. In the
prologue he was the robber and assassin
Miss Emma Muncy played the wife anc

Prisoners In a Gave.

Times Herald. To-day word comes to
us from Custer county that a few days
ago ]. d. Mcdonald and son Roy moved
back to their house on the Wind Cave
ranch. The Stablers and McAdams set
onto them and run them into the Cave,
where they are now kept prisoners.
They are withou. food and in a short
time must starve to death. If there be
any fair men in our city, such an outrage
will not be permitted. While in view
of the last decision of the Interior De-
partment, the McDonalds have no legal
rights there, neither do the Stablers
possess any rights there. The time has
surely come when such lawlessness
needs check. We ask that this matter
be taken up and the McDonalds liberat-
ed. The deputy sheriff was appealed to
and states that inasmuch as the proper
ty is now government reserve he has
no authority to interfere. Were this
position correct, but it is not, the fact
that two lives are in danger should
prompt any officer to do all in his pow
er to save the imprisoned. The days of
outlaw rule are certainly past in the
Black Hills and men who will not re:
cognize law should be taught lesson.

No More Homestead ENTREES.

The commissioner Of the general land
office has instructed the local la I'd Office
ut Rapid City TO accept no more home
stead entries on the Black Hills forest
reserve after the expiration Of the nine
ty-day limitation. According to the
homestead law, all persons who were
bona fide squatters on the reserve were
permitted to make filings on their land
as soon as their plats were filed, and
were to be given the preference for the
period of ninety days after the pats had
been filed. The land of the last plats
fled were open to entry April 10, 1900,
and the period Of limitation expired
July 10, 1900. A number Of persons
claiming land on the reserve did not
make entries until after the expiration
of the period, but as there were no ad-
verse interventions, they were per-
mitted to make their filings. According
to the recent ruling of the commission
er, the forest reserve is accepted as an
adverse intervention; and all squatters
who hare not availed themselves of the
ninety-day period are denied the right
to make entry on their land.-Pioneer'

Wind Cave d Reserve.


| Secretary fthe Interior Hitchcock hal
affirmed the ruling of the land Office deci
sion in the case of the South Dakota Min
ing company and the Black Hills Wine
Caye company against Jesse d. Nc
Donald. The defendant was trying Il
hold the title to the famous Wind cave
under the homestead laws, while the
plaintiff was endeayoring to secure pos
session under the mining laws. Secre
tary Hitchcock's decision is that neither
party to the suit has right to the proper
ty. He holds that the land is not min
eral land and therefore may not be
taken up as a mining claim. 1t is also
held that the defendant has not com,
piled with the requirements OF the
homestead law IN regard to cultivation
and therefore that his title Is invalid.
Secretary Hitchcock's decision is that
the land belongs to the government, and
that it must be held in reserve until
congress can create permanent reser-
yation there. The cave in question is
one Of the most remarkable natural won
ders in the country, and it is eminently
appropriate that it shall not fall into the
hands of private monopoly. In the
annual report Of the secretary appears
the following mention of the Caye:
1.-THE attention of the Department
was directed to what is known as the
Wind cave in South Dakota, the en-
trance to which is in Sec. /, I. 6 s., r. 5
E., Black Hills meridian, about twelve
miles southeast of the town of Custer,
as Icing cavern of considerable size
and possessing wonders of such surpass-
ing interest rs that it should be set apart
as a park or pleasuring ground Of the
people. An investigation of the cave
was accordingly made by two geolo-
gsts of the geological survey, and from
their report, which is set forth more
fully in the report Of the commissioner
Of the general land Office, it appears that
the cave is of large dimensions, ofgreat
interest and beauty, having many miles
Of galleries branching and reticulating
along the joined planes of carbonaceous
limestone, and numerous chambers with
stalactitic and stalagmitic formations.
Owing to the existence Of number Of
unprotected entries covering lands
around the mouth Of the caYe, it v ould
not be advisable at this time to have the
same set apart as national park. With
a view, however, to future action by
congress in the premises, temporary
withdrawal has been made of the neces-
sary lands subject to any and all valid
rights acqui red hy virtue Of existing en-
tries"

CROWN HILL COMPANY

CROWN HILL COMPANY.
There has been an increase in the
capital stock of the Crown Hill Mining
company recently, sufficiently to en-
large the concentrating plant at the
Spokane mine, in Custer county. The
company also intends to sink the shaft
on the property from the present level,
800 feet, to the 500 foot level, and to
erect cyanide plant on the Crown Hill
group of mining claims, at Crown Hill
station. The cyanide plant will not be
put up until next spring. The addition
to the concentrating plant will be built
this winter. The Crown Hill company
is said to be in good financial condition,
and its property has developed to a
point beyond all expectations. The
Spokane mine shows a fine galena pro.
position, there being a vertical ledge 20
feet across, which concentrates to $50 a
ton. 1t has been demonstrated that the
property will pay with the small plant
in operation, and the company in In
creasing the capacity, will materially
lessen the cost Of production. The COM
pany has 5000 tons of ore Oh the dump
at the Crown Hill mine, that is worth
on an average So ton. When the
company first acquired this group of
claims it was impossible to treat ore of
that grade. The great development in
the cyanide process has since given the
property big value, and the company
has now decided to work the property.

Can Ants Heart

Naturalists have generally accepted
the opinion that ants are not able to
perceive any sounds that are audible
to human ears. Prof. Weld, of the
Iowa state university, controverts this
opinion. He describes in Science care
full experiments made by him with four
species OF American ants, from which
he deduces the conclusion that these
species, at least, are able to perceive
sounds, but whether they do it by
means of organs of hearing, or through
the sense of touch being excited by at
mospheric vibrations he is unable to
;ay with certainty. He inclines to the
opinion that they do really hear, as
some individuals showed perception
of the direction of the sound, such as
that of shrill whistle, and others,
which were not disturbed when vio-
lently shaken in their glass prisons,
seemed to be "driven nearly frantic by
shrill sounds"
