The Government May Stop in.

It is currently reported, though the
rumor cannot at this writing be traced
to any authentic source. says the Hill
City News of the End. that after the
harvest has been completed on all the
titled land within the forest reserve, the
government will order all fences to be-
removed and the land restored to the
public domain in the following cases to-
wit:
Where entry to homestead and proof
has been made and the land has been
exchanged for so-called land scrip.
Where farming is still continued on
ground located and recorded under the
placer mining act and no legitimate
mining is pursued and to which the
owner has not obtained mineral title
from the government.
On land where people have squatted
and hold it without title at all.
The government no doubt considers
the mining interests first and will see to
il that all fraudulent mining entries for
land for other purposes than mining are
stopped.

Equality" as being sensible. timely and
just. 1t is true, every word of 1t. and
should be duly considered by the ranch
men and miners OF Custer county 40 1t
applies to every community. The peo
pie Of the country should stand by the
merchants Of the town and buy their
goods at home. Merchants should study
the interests of the ranchmen and min.
ers and find markets for the products OF
the country. Whatever the conditions
may be in other towns we do not know,
but so far as Custer Is concerned We are
fully aware that both the merchant an
the country people have both been
remiss in their duty to each other. 1t

appearing. For six years they have
been doing damage in the Black Hills
and millions Of feet of valuable pine
timber have been destroyed. The in
sects first made their appearance in the
Hills during the drouth which began
several years ago. The pine trees were
made to contain very little sap, which
impoverished them all oyer the Hills.
A bug will not attack q strong, healthy
tree. The sap is too strong and the
worms laid by the bugs seem to get
drowned. In q forest OF pine trees only
the impoverished ones are destroyed,
Now that there isplenty Of moisture in

Minerals of the Black Hills,

The State School of Mines wishes 10
mako a careful study Of the minerals of
the Black Hills and invites all indiyid.
uals in any way interested In the devsl-
opment of the region to cooperate in
the work.
Tho school will defray all reasonable
expense incurred in sending the speci.
mems. and since such study should be
Of value to the people Of the Hills. 40
we'll as those living elsswhers. It 10
hoped thata wide interest may be shown
in the collecting and forwarding Of ma.
terial. A study Is now being made Of
the ores. A similar study should be
made Of the minerals.
Minerals from every mine and pros.
pect opening in the Hills are desired.
The amount of material need not be
large, say four or Ave pounds OF each
mineral including matrix or gRngue.
The pieces should be about the size of
ones hand or fist, and whenever possi.
BILE should contain the mineral in fresh
and we'll crystallizsd condition.
Minerals Of no known economic value
are AZ much desired as those of known
value since no report can be made com.
plete without them. Likewise We want
specimens Of minerals occurring In great
abundance as we'll as specimens Of tho
rarsr minerals. II 10 particularly i'm.
portant that when sending specimens
the exact localities from which they
came should be given. II, for personal
reason, there Is q hesitancy about indi-
eating exact Localities, a statement to
that effect should be made. We repeat,
that we are especially anxious that no
be made as to locality when
given, and in case Of groups Of claims
the individual claim from which each
specimen is collected should, when pos
sible, be indicated.
The study Of these specimens, IL they
reach us in such quantities as We hope.
will demand much time and doubtless
considerable correspondence. We
therefore that all will aid us in every
way possible by stating whatever may
be OF interest IN regard to the mode Of
occurrence OF the mineral, its sbund.
ance, its associations with other miner
ais. and the results OF such analyses or
tests as may have been made upon the
material. In cases where shipments
have been made We would be pleased to
have details in regard to this also.
May We not hope that each prospsctor
and mining man in the Black Hills will
consider himself especially appointed to
assist US in securing material suitable
for study and thus aid in increasing and
extending the knowledge OF the many
minerals found in our region.
Packages Of specimens and correspon.

Mrs. Elizabeth Rider departed this
life at the homo of her daughter, Mrs.
Ruth Babbington. living on Lightning
creek about miles west from Custer,
on the 4th OF August. 1901.
Mrs. Rider was at the time Of her
death about "a years OF age and leaves q
husband and two daughters to mourn
the loss Of O faithful wife and mother.
She was the wife of Mr.. Jason L. Rider,
who resided in Custer county since the
year 1880 where he has been engaged in
the occupation Of raising horses. Their
former home was in Kansas from
whence Mrs. Rider came to join her
husband in the Hills in 1887.
She was born in Canada, and was
married to Mr.. Rider in Crawford coun.
ty, Kansas. 20 years ago. She was .
member Of the church of the Seventh
Day Adyentists. The funeral took place
at tie Congregational church and she
was buried in the Custer cemetery, Rev.
Katherine Powell officiating.
Mr.. and mrs. Rider were we'll known
in this community where they were
universally respected and had host Of
friends, whose sympathy is extended to
the husband and children in this the
hour Of their bereavement, and large
concourse OF people followed the remains
to their last resting place.
Thus one by one the old settlers are
dropping away, soon the last will be
gone. and the places that knew them
here will know them no more forever.
Let rs hope and trust that there will be
a glad reunion on the other side. where
they will meet and mingle in land that
