LIE ROY MINING CO.


The above named company made up
Of Minneapolis parties, whose property
consists of group of four claims located
about four miles west of this place, now
being developed under the direction of
S. f. Ainslie, have reason to be exceed
ingly jubilant, as they are, over the ex-
celent quality ofore recently encounter
ed in their shaft at depth of 40 feet,
the tests showing vafue which is ex-
ceptional even in this locality, proven
bial for its rich surface prospects. The
ore body, while it is not at the present
depth of great magnitude, being from
one to three feet in width, is gradually
widening with depth, and promises to
be of fair dimensions with further de-
velopment. While it is not uncommon
to encounter ore in which gold in small
particles is plainly visible to the eye, it
is in no sense specimen mine, the ore
being free milling and concentrating
proposition which, as determined by
numerous careful and thorough tests,
can not fail to be highly profitable in it's
reduction. The company propose to
push the work Of development as rapid
ly as possible, and will proceed at once
to erect a boarding house and other
necessary buildings upon the property,
and it may reasonably expected that in
the near future, the working force will
be increased by the employment of a
night shift, and the erection OF hosting
machinery to expedite the further de
velopment of this very fattering mining
proposition.
The company's first pay day occurred
on Wednesday, when every dollar of its
obligations were promptly cancelled.
The future looks exceedingly bright
for the success of the enter
prise, and we believe it may be safely
set down as an assured fact that the LIE
Roy company will add another gold pro-
ducer to the Black Hills list in the not
very remote hence.
The company is composed OF F. Fl.
Cook of Minneapolis, president; A. T.
Feay of Custer, vice president; r. Dob
son of Minneapolis, secretary and treas
urer; J. H. Sinclair of Denver, consult
ing engineer, and A. d. Westby of Min
neapolis, general manager. The capital
ization of the company is 100000; par
Value 81 per share.

Interest in the political campaign in
South Dakota has not reached very
high point yet. Many of the county
conventions have been held and state
and congressional nominations of both
parties have been made, but owing to
the jug.handled affair it is not going to
be no one is worrying about the result.
If the full vote of the parties is poiled
the republican majority can not be less
than 10000, but unless some new feature
is injected into the campaign, only a
light vote will be polled The republi
cans will open the state campaign about
the fifteenth and will make it interest
ing until the day of election. No date
has been set for opening the democratic
campaign and perhaps it will not be
opened at all. There is no jackpot in
sight.-Pioneer.T Times.

like children at the side of the old woman

doorway, her attention was called by her
mother 10 a long line OF Indians coming
down the road. This was in 1927 She said
the Indians were moving TO another reser-

city. After having their pictures taken the

DRAFTED By GERMAN SOCIETIES.

Herman Lieber was seventy years old yes
terday and the day was made the occasion
of a testimonial of affection on the part of
the employees of the II. Lieber Company, of
which he is president, and the members of
the German societies with which Mr.. Lieber
has long been affiliated. Yesterday delega-
ton of the Lieber employees called at Mr..
Liebers home and a number of speeches
were made, having as their theme the re-
spect in which the community holds the
merchant. Last night the members of the
SOcialer Turnverein and the German House
Musikverein marched in a body to the
Lieber residence, 43O North Alabama street,
where the latter society serenaded Mr..

demonstration of affection by a speech of
thanks.

Dusseldorf, Germany. In 1853 he came to
the United States, settling in Indianapolis

site near Washington and Pennsylvania

of excellent business judgment he laid the
the success Of the II. Lieber Company.

store, with its old-fashioned bindings and
narrow shelves, has grown the big art
store that exports to Germany, Holland,
France, England and other European coun-
tries. In 1891 Mr.. Lieber organized stock
company and all the employees of the firm
that had demonstrated their faithfulness
and trustworthiness were taken into the
business and given shares.
In the social life of the German citizens
of indianapolis Mr.. Lieber has been no
less prominent than he has been in bust
ness. He of the founders of the
German House and one of the very first to
agitate the idea of starting a German
American society of that nature. He is
now president of the board of directors
of the German House. He has been for a
long time leading member of the Socialer
Turnverein. Many years ago Mr.. Lieber
founded German-EngliSh school on Mary
land street, which, during its life, was a
source of unlimited usefulness. Mr.. Lieber
is also president of the North American
Gymnastic Union
He has never entered political life and
has never held public office, contenting
| himself with his business affairs and social
occupations. In 1857 he married Miss Mary
Metzger.
Numerous kilograms were received by
Mr. Lieber yesterday, felicitating him upon
reaching the mark of three score and ten.
Among the messages was one from MT ana
Mrs. B0Okwalter, sent from the Wisconsin

spect you.

954 West Vermont street for the past six
months. was arrested yesterday by De-
tectives Asch and Manning on the charge

Department. The check was sent to Wash
ingtOn and was returned in q few days.

Wagner was never in the employ of
the government, and that similar
checks. naturally valuless, had also reached
the department. -Four other checks for
smaller sums were presented by him, made
payable to other merchants in this city.
The suspicion of merchants was drawn
10 these, but Wagner paid the money and
