sm.u-Bore Artesian Well.

The sinking or smalI-Dofe arleslah
wells in the vicinity of Aberdeen has
proved a great success, and will revolu-
tionize the old and expensive methods
so long in vogue. Stritton & Gilbovom
of Aberdeen are the originators of the
new drilling system, and are entitled
TO full credit for their invention, il 1t
may be so called. They recently SUM
a we'll on the farm of III. Easton, twelve
miles north of Aberdeen. and struck a
fine flow of water in eleven days, at a
depth of 1,121 feet. The we'll Is a one
and a quarter inch-bore. and has a
pressure Of 100 pounds with a now OF
seventy gallons per minute. A similar
we'll is now being drilled on q farm
southwest Of there, and n Will be sunk
on the large stock ranch OF Isaac Lin
DIN a few miles northeast OF town.
The dry ranges will at once assume
new value, and springs, creeks, etc,
will not be considered a necessity when
n good artesian we'll a be had for
$500 to 500. The stock industry VIII re-
ceive a new impetus, and the future OF
the state made brighter by the fresh
prospects in view.

Rosebud Reservation May he Opened

The opening OF the Rosebud reserva-
for some time, seems TO be pretty near
ly an assured fact At the recent sas-
sion of congress bills were introduced
for the appointment of a commission
by the president for treating with the
Indians. and which had the strong sup
port of the South Dakota delegation In
congress. Information has been re-
ceived from Washington to the effect
that Secretary Hitchcock intends TO de-
tail an inspector to talk with the Rose
bud Indians, with the view Cf acquiring
the eastern portion Of the reservation,
In Gregory and Lyman counties, this
matter having been laid before the Sec
rotary by Senator Gamble.
Parties who are familiar with the
views of the Rosebud Indians in refer
ence to the disposal to the government
of about twenty-three townships or
land in Gregory county, state that the
~proposition Is favOrably considered by
the Indians.
The opening Of this much Of the res
ervation would mean the opening 10
settlement by white persons OF about
50. 900 acres of very fine agricultural
and grazing lands. and would undoubt-
