Land Office Investigation.

A special from Rapid under date of
January l4th, says! The United States
land Office of this city has had severe
shaking up during the past few days.
For over year and half, 1t is alleged,
there has been more or less crook edness
on the part Of some Of those in official
charge. An investigation is now in pro
gress, which is being made by three gov
ernment land Office officials They
found in the first day of the investiga-
ton that the register, A. X. Gardner,
and the clerk, n. l. Garrison. knew con-
siderable about the crookedness, and
both men Immediately resigned. The
resignation Of Gardner was accepted to
take effect January 81, or as soon as
successor can qualify, The resignation
of Garrison was not accepted ,"he being
in the civil service, and he will have to
stand trial. The act of congress, which
was approved June 4, 1897, setting apart
the Black Hills forest reserve, provided
that settlers could relinquish their lands
and take in lieu thereof like aCreags
elsewhere on the public domain. The
act of congress approved March 3, 1899,
provided that settlers upon unsurveyed
lands within the Black Hills forest re-
serve who mad established residence in
good faith prior TO September 10, 1898,
could enter homestcads under ths exist
ing homestead laws. Competition in.
the purchase Of these lands became so
active that dishonest methods were re-
sorted to in the entering OF homesteads
as it was generally circulated that man
could take homestead and dispose Of
of it through the script brokers for sey.

reached the general land Office from
the various places in the Black Hills
calling attention to these frauds and the
Rapid CITY land office was placed in
very unfayorable light before the peo-
pie. The investigation of the govern
ment inspectors has completely exoner-
ated the receiver of the land Office, w.

THE BLUE LEAD.

A remarkable change in the hardness
of the rock in the Blue Lead tunnel has
taken place. Both extremes have prac-
tically met. From the toughest and
hardest kind of rock it has changed to
mud. Some believe that they are close
to the ash which overlies all great cop
per deposits and that the change is a
good indication Of its eyistence} All
drilling machines have been laid aside
and the only tools in the work now used
are picks and shovels. Each shift no"
makes from four to five feet, which
means from 250 to 800 feet a month.
The tunnel is now in 500 feet.-News.

The Art of CoIOriDg Pearls.

Pearls can be made of various colors
by simple process. Each mollusk
deposits its own sort of nacre. The
nacre of the fresh water mussel is
pink. Pearl oysters will produce black,
gray or pure white pearls, according
to the part of the animal where the
nucleus is lodged. At the National
museum in Washington there is an ar
ti6cial pearl of exquisite pink color as
large as a pigeons egg.
Partisan jewelers. are very clever in
the art of "peeling'' pearls. They
will take pearl that is not pretty, re-
move its outer coat and reveal beau
tiful gem within A pearl is composed
of alternate layers of nacre and ami
NAL tissue, the process of peeling is
very difficult The tools employed are
sharp knife, various sorts of files,
pearl powder and piece of leather.
The pearly coats are extremely hard
and must be cut off piece by piece, the
operator relying more on the sense of
touch conveyed by the blade of the
knife than on the sense of sight.
Pearls found imbedded in the mother
of pearl of the oyster shell are made
marketable by skillful treatment with
acids. Experts know how to make
pearls of any color, black by bath
of nitrate of silver, and by other
chemical means they can turn them tc
these unusual tints bring fancy prices.
