The county wants a man in the next

measures which if they had become law

that should be done. This county vents
competency and efficiency in its legisla-

Space forbids our giving a synopsis of
the Governors speech. Heis a very en-
tertaining as we'll as logical and force
ful speaker. His views on the material
side of the political situation, were like
his views Oh other matters-sensible
and practicable. He called attention to
the present prosperous condition Of the
country. All lines of business were
thrifty. Labor was every where en-
ployed. Products of every kind inrlud-
ing those of the farm were bringing a
good price aud found a ready market,
and appealed to his audience il it was
not good enough business policy to "lst
well enough alone" He referred to the
democratic declarations about the "con-
sent to be governed" and called atten-
ton to the Inconsistency Of the party
supporting Mr.. Bryan and the discrep-
ancy between it's declarations and its
acts that the party, presumably with Mr..
Bryan's consent, was unremittingly
striving to wrest from the negro every
opportunity to have a voice in the gov
eminent over him. He said "they (the
democratic party deem it eminently
proper for q brown nan on the other
side of the world to shoot US to pieces,
and equally proper that a black a on
this side Of the world be denied to vote"
As to Mr.. Bryan's claim that the repu-
blican party was not responsible for the
present prosperity, but that was attri-
butable to providence. Mr.. Roosevelt
"Well, gentlemen, l am perfectly
willing to admit a fusion between the
republican party and providence. The
democratic party has fused with pretty
nearly everything but l have veto bear
of it making an alliance with proyi-
dence."

RooseveIt's Visit.

Gov. Roosevelt visited the Black Hills
on Wednesday as Heretofore announc-
ed. To say that day was a red letter
day for Black Hills republicans is put
ting it in mild terms. Everyone want
ed to see the hero of San Juan hill, and
do honor to the sterling qualities he
possesses as a man; and while all were
unable to 60 to Deadwood or Lead yet
many went. Both railroads run extra
accommodations, and fully one thousand
people were carried into Deadwood for
the occasion. The Governor arrived
about s o'clock p. m. He was greeted
by a great crowd as he alighted from his
train. He was at once escorted to a car.
riags and preceded by a company OF
rough riders, mounted, was conveyed to
the ID. c. depot where he took the train
for Lead. AS the head of the column OF
rough riders reached the D. e. depot the
column opened ranks, and the carriage
of Roosevelt passed through, followed
by q great procession of torch light
bearers, and others. Transparencies
were conspicuous and the principal
streets of Deadwood were trayersed by
the procession. The crowdin Deadwood
reached into the thousands. But few OF
the Lead people were in Deadwood as
they remained in their city to give the
Governor a telling reception in the
"City of Mills" Governor Roosevelt
arrived at Lead about thirty minutes
after his arrival in Deadwood and the
throngs of people that greeted him al
Lead were quite equal to that at Dead
wood. At Lead. although the most com
modious building in the city was secured
for the meeting, yet hundreds were un
able to gain admission. The Governor
returned to Deadwood about 10 o'clock
and spoke in the opera house, which
was packed to it's utmost capacity, with
a multitude Of disappointed people with
out unable to get in. At 11:30 the Gov,
ernor's train pulled out Of Deadwood
and at twelve another special left Over
the Elkhorn carrying out FIVE coach
loads of visitors. The occasion was
marked by the greatest degree of en-
thusiasm, and If any skeptic doubts the
earnestness of republicans in the BLACK
Hills such doubt would have been re
moved by Wednesday evenings demon
! stration.

Homestesds on Black Hills Reserve,

A letter from the honorable commits
sioner Of the general land Office. dated
September 10, 1900, relating to home
steads on forest reserves may be of in
tsrst to residents upon said reserves.
The letter says:
"In the matter Of disposing, prior to
the perfecting of title to a homestead
claim, of any portion of the land EN-
braced therein, you are informed that
such proceeding is illegal and would
both jeopardize the entry and inyalidate
the sale or transfer.
I'm reply to your further inquiry, you
are advised that forest reserve lands re-
linquished to the government are not
again subject to homestead entry, nor to
any further use or occupancy thereof by
the claimant or other party without due
authority from this Office. Very re-
s%pectfully,

United States Geolos,cal Survey.


N. Ii. barton of the United States geo.
logical survey, went to Custer yesterday
morning TO make an examination Of the
Grand junction mine, which is Of special
interest on account of the fact that it's
formation is very similar to the Home
stake. 1t is a slate formation and is so
much like the Homestake that Mr.. Dar-
ton will embody his report of it in his
official report. Mr.. barton has also ex-
amined the marble and Autograph stone
from the Black Hills Marble company's
ground near Custer. He says the litho-
graph stone is Of a very fine grade. and
will take any kind OF work. The diff
Guilty, so far encountered, of finding it in
marketable size, MI. barton thinks, will
be obviated farther on in the tunnel,
Lithograph stone is very susceptible to
the elements and this accounts for its
being broken up neal the surface. The
white marble, be pronounced to be the
beat and finest grain found in the wes-
tern states.
Mr.. barton has spent the summer
making a complete report Of the geologi-
cal formation of the southern half of the
Black Hills. He has about completed
the work and will leave for his home in
Washington City in a few days. The
surveyors have already gone. Mr.. OAR
ton has the proof Of very fine map OF
the northern Hills which is the result OF
last summers work. This, with the re-
port on the southern Hills, made this
summer will be officially published some
time in May or June.-Pioneer.T Times.
