One Of the queerest railroads in the
world and probably the quickest built
is that between Meme City, Alaska, and

original discovery OF gold, lies four and
one-half miles directly north of Nome

miles in length, rising in divide 500 to

its way through the tundra flats and en-

its mouth, as the wild goose flies, but a

sailor tailor; Jafet Lindeberg, a reindeer
herder and afet Brynteson, a miner,
lies at the point where the creek enters
the tundra. Above Discovery are
thirteen claims, each 1920 feet in length

Kansas City Journal.
In the dispatches of Sunday there is an
account of sensation occurrence in the
district court at Watertown, S. D. In the
trial of a divorce case one of the at
torneys, George w. Case, said something
offensive to Judge Julian Bennett, who
sat on the bench. Thereupon Judge Ben
nett responded hotly, and Mr.. Case said:
Judge Bennett, you can address me In
that manner from the bench, but were not
court in session would not tolerate such
a statement from you" Springing to his
feet, Judge Bennett exclaimed: '%Fhis
court is adjournedT' and with that knock
ed Mr.. Case down with a blow in the
face.
And the story is doubly interesting as
showing how history will repeat itself.
though we regard the Kansas Incident
which We are about to relate as the fun
nier of the two. In 1868 the famous Judge
joyce was q justice of the peace in
Hays City, and, as the only judicial officer
in the region, administered the law with
an autocratic hand. In the town were
two lawyers, only one of whom has to
do with this story. His name was Ryan.
and, some months before, he and Judge
Joyce had quarreled, with the result of
Ryan being disbarred from practice on
the ground that he had been a rebel
soldier whose disabilities had never been
removed. OF course, the fact of Ryan's
being rebel soldier was not cause for

Odo Reder.

1t will be remembered by our readers
that Mr.. Reder was tried in the United
States court which was held at Sioux
Falls on April Is. The charge was for cut
ting timber unlaw fully on the forest re-
serve. To this indictment Mr.. Reder
plead guilty, thinking that when the
case was fairly stated that the sentence
could not in justice be severe. as he had
no real intention Of violating the law.
AS has been stated in previous issue
of this paper, the timber was cut on a
tract Of land about nine miles northwe est
Of Custer City about three years ago.
There has been no attempt on the part
Of Mr.. Reder to deny the cutting or to
cover up his action in any way, as he
thought 1t would he all right. He had
sent in his application through Mr..
Hamaker, the supervisor, and as the ac-
ton of the department is often slow,
and the mining company for which the
timber was cut was sorely in need of the
same, they were constantly crowding
Mr.. r. to fulfill the terms of his contract
with them. For this reason Mr.. Reder
applied to Mr.. Hamaker for permission
to go ahead, and obtained a verbal per-
NIT to do So Mr.. Hamaker said he felt
assured that the application wonld be
acted upon favorably and he could 60
ahead. This seems to be the head and
front of Mr.. Reder's offending, no more.
1t would seem that in an unprejudiced
court that these circumstances would be
considered as largely mitigating. especi-
ally when taken in connection with the
previous good character and high stand
ing Of Mr.. r. as citizen in every COM
munity where he has lived.
Mr.. Reder was long resident Of Gus
ter, and resident of Rapid City, and
Hill City previously, In each and all of
which places he was prominent and
enterprislng citizen and held in the
highest respect by all. 1t seems to be
the general consensus of opinion in this
community, and in fact in every COM
nunity In the Black Hills, that the pen
atty is excessive, and if not yindictiyely,
yet surely unduly severe, for a man of
this character to suffer the extreme pen
atty OF the law. under circumstances
which at it's best must be regarded more
in the light of mistake rather than an
intentional violation of the law. Still,
we do not wish to be understood as say
ing that there should be no punishment
But We do say, and in common with the
sentiment Of the people generally, we
feel that the sentence Of one year in the
county Jail, together with fine of $500
is too much when all the circumstances
are taken into consideration. We say,
let justice prevail, but there should be
reason in all things.

Mines are Made-Not Found.

In speaking of mining many people
have the habit of treating it as gam
BILE, says an exchange. Nothing could
be farther from the truth. In these
days of scientific development it is a rare
mineral that defies treatment by one or
other of the established methods of re-
duction, and given mine which shows
a profit over all expenses of operation,
transportation and treatment and there
is no other business which makes such
constant returns. The margin of profit
once ascertained. it is as certain as any
earthly thing can be, and there is now
no reason for making mistake in de.
yeloped mine. The element of chance
may be taken into account in prospect
or surface location, but even in these
it may be minimized by the exercise Of
proper care, skill and judgment. Min
ing is not affected by bad season or a
stagnant market. Manufactures are in
fiuenced by competition, by an over.
stocked market, by variations In the
price of the raw material and by the
condition Of the financial centers. Farm
ing depends largely on the weather, and
even when everything conspires to pro-
duce good crops market conditions are
frequently such as to subject the farmer
to loss Of his entire seasons work.
The product of the mountains is always
the same. The mines are the banks
established by nature; are not affected
by runs, have a market that is always
certain, with demand that is constant
ly increasing and a wealth of resource
the limit of which is coextensive with
the world. But there is one thing that
investors in mines should bear in mind.
Mines are made, not found. and mine
is not made in day. When any other
business is being built up inves-
tors do not look for a dividend until a
market is created and the supply is
sufficient 10 meet the demand. Many
good mines have been ruined by the
haste of stockholders in demanding
dividends before the mine is put in con-
dition to pay, and more by their refusal
to recognize the necessity for large
outlay in order to make dividends Ger.

court for the recovery Of her homestead
from the state. At the time of the Tsy-

his property to the state, the homestead
at Watertown being among the several
pieces of real estate. In 1897 the legis

agreement with the attorney general,
but Governor Lee vetoed the act. A

having been paid, Mrs. Melette claims
the state has no longer any claim on the
land.
