week On route to Dawson City. Alaska

far-of country, After spending few
weeks at Dawson he expects to take in
the new gold fields at Cape Nome.
Quite number of friends were at the

bid him good bye. "I love the Black
Hills" he said to a reporter, they are
filed with possibilities. They afford as
much in prospect as any other spot on
earth. A man who can't make it in the
Hills, can never realize anything any
where. Why do 1 go back to the far

In speaking of the republican state
ticket nominated at Sioux Falls last
week, the Pionesr-Times in a recent
issue says: At the head of the ticket is
Hon. T.. w. Martin for congress, 4 new
man in politics, but woll known to the
people Of the Black Hills and to thou
sands of people east of the river. All
that the Pioneer Times said of him be-
fore the convention goes now just the
same as it did only more so. The pre-
liminary campaign has prepared him
for the one to follow. He will strength
en- the ticket everywhere. Chas. II.
Burke has been in congress about fifteen
months and his record is an open one.
To see Chas. n. Herried, nominee for
governor, is to be inspired uith conf
dence in his ability and integrity. Geo.

accept the nomination for Lieut.. Gov

birth, has been a resident of the state
for twenty.three years during which
the people Of his county have frequent

is Clerk of Courts, serving his second

The nomination OF the republican
state ticket which appears on the second
page Of this issue was the work OF the
convention which was held at Sioux
Falls last week. The convention was
the most harmonious and enthusiastic
hold in South Dakota during recent
years. The Black Hills were recognized
by the nomination of Hon. +. w. Mar
tin Of Deadwood for congressman.
Arthur Ii. Marble of Belle Fourche, as
one Of the four presidential electors,
James HALEY of Rapid, as one of the
eight delegates to the national conyen-
tion at Philadelphia, s. G. Lummis Of
Custer as alternate, and Hon. S. +. Will
son of Hot Springs as permanent chair
man of the convention There were
but few contests to disturb the serenity
of tho procSedings-contests only devel-
oped for the nomination Of lieutenant
governor, secretary OF state and railroad
commissioner-andt these were not bit
ter nor holly contested. The ticket is
strong and clean from top to bottom,
and needs no apologies or defense dur
ing the campaign. There is not the
shadow Of doubt but what the state
will 20 republican by large majority
next November. The ticket, platform
and proceedings Of the convention will
be found on the second page of this
issue.

The greatest drawback to mining in
the southern Hills is the undeveloped
conditions Of ninety nine properties out
Of every hundred. Almost every day
some 6f our mining men receive letters
inquiring for a paying gold mine. What is
wanted all over the entire mining region
Of Pennington and Custer counties is
men with money to take the prospects
out of the hands Of srospectors and de-
yelop them into paying mines. No
better or safer investment can be made
in mines, than in the developement of
prospects into mines. Very often a
claim can be bought for few hundred
dollars, which, when opened in proper
MANNER to a depth of one, two or three
hundred feet will be found to be yalu-
able mine. Why investors refuse to In
vest their money in opening mines and
putting them in shape to Sell or work is
a puzzle to mining men. They do not
seem to understand the reason why a
poor prospector, without any money and
very little credit, does not sink his shaft
down few hundred feet and get his
property in shape to produce or SELL
They don't seem to realize the fact that
1t is no part ofthe prospectofs business
to develop. Tie prospectors vacation is
to find promising prospect, to open
along the vein in few places to depth
IF from ten to twenty feet and then sell to
othcrs who will develop the prospect in
to mine. In Custer and Pennington
counties there are hundreds. and it may
be truly said there are thousands OF pros
poets which show fairly well, and great
many that are rich which are in the
hands of the original locators. Many of
these can be bought at prices ranging
from $4,000 to 100000. The most
promising will cost more money, but all
are for sale, and purchasers can, always
save money by making cash deals in
stead of tieing up property and keeping
It out of the market for year or two.

A New Pnjirg.

1t is unpleasant to continually make
adverse criticism of governmental rul-
ings, says the Mining and Scientific
Press. but it would appear that hide
bound system of bureaucracy is again
being adopted at Washington in nearly
everything relating to the mining in
dustry. The Secretary of the Interior
now rules that permits for cutting tim
ber for mining purposes shall be given
only to companies with paying mines.
This rules out the prospector. 1t is en-
forcement ofthe rigid letter of the law,
but in opposition to its spirit. The
miners were not made for the law; the
law was made for the miners. 1t was,
of course, the intent to protect timber
land from unlawful depreciation. That
is right, and the miner will gladly aid in
its enforcement. but 1t is quite another
thing to make so sweeping and arbitrary
a ruling. This is not Russia, nor South
Africa, and the prospector or individual
miner trying to develop his claim has
rights that no Official can afford to disre-
gard. Timber is a necessity to the
miner. Heretofore the miner was allow
ed to cut enough off his location for
necessary use in. its development. The
fairness and justice ofthis universally
recognized-even in the office of the
Secretary Of the Interior at Washington.
Anything that can in reason be done to
encourage the development the min
sral wealth Of the country should be
done, with due regard to the preserva.
ton and conservation of forest growth
but there is neither rhyme nor reason
in the latest edict promulgated from
government headquarters.
