South Dakota May lie Second In Gold
Production.
From the Chicago Record.
The Black Hills has the possibility of
making South Dakota stand second among
the states of the Union in the production of
gold next year. Colorado is first and Cali
fornia second at the present time, but the
Black Hills has only to produce a few mil
lions more and it will outrank California
1t is practically sure thing that the output
of gold from the hills will be increased at
least one-thrd for the year 1901 The pres
ent year has seen wonderful advancement
made in the treatment of the low-grade
ores of the hills by the cyanide process A
few years ago this method of ore treatment
was unheard of in the hills and mine own
ers were struggling along with the costly
smelling chlorinating and other processes
and the vast amount of low-grade gold ore
had to be left in the mountains untouched.
This far this year, in Lawrence county
alone, seven new cyanide plants have been
started up and are now in steady operation,
while seven more new plants are in course
of construction. These mills are scattered
all over the county and they doing
more to advertise the hills than anything
else. There are millions of tons of ore in
the Black Hills that carry values too low to
treat a. a profit in any of the old processes
The cyanide process has created a wonder
full demand for these low-grade PROPOSE
tions. The great Homestake company has
nearly completed plant of 1000 tons ca
pacity, at cost of about $250OOO The
Spearfish Mining Company, Colorado
concern. has a 250-ton plant nearly COM
peted at Ragged Top and the Detroit and
Deadwood Company of New York and Chi
cago has had its new plant in operation
two weeks. The Cleopatra Mining Compa-
ny, the Wasp No. 2 the Portland of Gin
ton, Iowa, the Clevenger Company of Rapid
City, all have large plants under way
The cyanide process adapts itself to the
ores of the Black Hills much better than
to any other ore in the western states. This
has been proved by tests made by Colorado
mining men. Plans being made for five
other cyanide plants in the county, which
will give before the close of the present
year nineteen plants in operation The
total tonnage per day of these plants will
be about 1900 tons. This tonnage would in
crease the output of gold in the hills about
one third

The Emperor's Clothes.
I have before me list Of things which
| were supplied to the emperor in one year
from some Of these imperial factories. One
item is thousand pencils and 200 sheets OF
red scrolls Another shipment consisted Of
| ninety pieces of gauze, and l see that the
total orders for silk gauze during that year
amounted to 3, 400 rolls In the same time
the emperor required 600 handkerchiefs to
blow his imperial nose, while to clothe his
aristocratic limbs were sent 375 rolls OF
sa tin, 500 rolls of brocaded satin and 5000
pieces of other kinds of fine goods.
The embroideries made in the 4mperial
shops are sent to the emperor and The en-
press by the boat load. The eunuchs steal
from them, and some of the finest specimens
get into the hands Of peddlers who bring
them to the foreign legations and sell them.
Snch goods get as far south as Canton, and

Queer Things About the Emperor.
There arc some queer things going on IN

been so terrified by the old empress doWa-
ger that they dare not circulate any re-
ports contrary to her will. No one really
knows much about the emperor. He may
be alive or he may be dead. few months
ago the report circulated that he had
escaped from his prison in the palace. NO
one knew where he had gone At about the

One Wheat Grains Yield.

Did you ever stop to think of the respon-
sbilities of a grain Of wheat? We are SO
used to seeing the field sown with wheat
and the crop come up and ripen that We
quite forget how each little grain does a
great work through the summer days in
multiplying and adding to the farmers
harvest. A farmer near Phoenix, Ariz.,
planted one grain of white Australian wheat
and at harvest time from 1t had sprung
1,36O grains of large. fat wheat. He planted
ten acres of this wheat and harvested III
sacks, each weighing 13S pounds. The
single grain spoken of produced 36 stalks;
SO, you see, even a grain of wheat helps
wonderfully.

who were put to work on the case
found where the barrels had been
dropped off and evidently taken away

were called. The tenants held the
farms by perpetual leases on rents
payable in produce. These estates were
owned by several OF the old families
of the state, the Livingstons, the Van
Rensselaers and others. The tenants
had long been dissatisfied with this ar
rangement, and the death in 1889 of
Stephen Van Rensselaer, brought mat
tiers to a head. Stephen Van Rensse-
laer had allowed the rents to fall large

temped to collect these he was met by
organized opposition. Men disguised
as Indians terroriZed the region. Al
tempts of the sheriff to collect the
rents were likewise unsuccessful. the

largely outnumbered. This was known
as the Heidelberg war" For a time

Leland wondered in mild way why
he had accepted DR.. Andrews invita-

and reception since he began the
search for her face? Had he not
neglected his professional duties and

would be the Omega OF 1t all? Would

What mattered 1t that his friends
openly accused him of being taciturn
and morose? He would share the Sc
cret that made and marred his happi-
ness with no one. Even had he felt
inclined to be communicative, what
man would believe one dream. and but
one dream visited his sleeping hours.
That the dream-face of woman had
become his load-star-an integral part
of his life? Ii this strain continued
how long could he preserve his mental
equipoise?
God! Had DR.. Andrews suspected
him of being mentally unbalanced?
Did the suspicion not account for the
rather persistent effort on the part OF
the doctor toward the renewal of an
intimacy Of other days? Perhaps the
doctor was making study of him in
the interests of science! The thought
induced sensation of giddiness, and
dropping on divan he closed his
eyes.
AS he both hoped and feared, again
her face flashed across his mental
vision. He felt all his faculties to be
alert this tlme-he was not even
asleep. Here was a departure; per-
haps, after all, the doctor had dag
nosed his case properly. To the winds
with idle speculations and conjecture!
Was she not with him, was she not for
the time his? No evil could counter
balance that happiness!
He nodded brightly to her, realizing

Manning's wish that 1t should be so.
Late in life he told his friend and
biographer-the late Edmund Purcell
that he had received a letter from
the churchwardens announcing that
the grave was falling into decay, and
asking for instructions as to putting

was: 1t is best so. Let it be- Time
