VALUES ARE INCREASING.
Phenomenal Advance In Land Prices
In Gregory and Turner Counties.

- NHNs"hs aho
Gregory county is experiencing one
of the greatest real estate booms eve,
known In the history OF the state.
Land that went begging for buyers at
$50 per acre last year is now being sold
at from s25 to s35 per acre, and the
prospects are good for continued adj
vance In prices for a year to come, at
least. The county is full of land buy
ers from Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota
ar q states further east. The county is
practically new, having first been set
tied In 1884, and, while S35 per acre for
Western land may seem rather high to
some people, ii must be remembered
that Gregory county hac never yet had
failure of crops, and that last year.
when the greater portion Of the coun-
try was drought-strlcken, Gregory pro-
duced a bountiful harvest, corn yield
ing an average of thirTy-fve bushels
per acre and wheat thirteen bushels.
Gregory county soil is inferior 10 none,
being a dark, rich. sandy loan with
clay subsoil, and with the same condi-
lions prevailing. produces as good
crops as the States Of Iowa and Illinois.
Bonesteel the prospective terminus OF
the F. e, e. M. V. railroad which Is
now building into the county, has
grown from a village of but a dozen
houses in 1895, to a town OF over 200
buildings at the present time, with
population nearing the 500 mark. Lots
are selling at from $50, for residence
sites, to $500, and in some cases. $500,
for business lots. Considerable small
AZ rAtI Naypa
never in better condition to terminate
the seed.
Several transfers Of real estate have
been made within the past few days at
prices ranging from $25 to $35 per acre.
The Gregory county Real Estate asso-
citation, firm locate DAT Bonesteel'
sold three farms last week at an aV-
erage price of $2S per acre. The firm Is
doing an enormous business, having
two solicitors continually on the road
and agents in several states sending
BUYERS to them.
Considerable rain has fallen here In
the past few days, and the ground Is
sa turated to a depth og five feet EV-
cry acre OF cult,vable land will be put
into crop this season, ard with favor
able conditions Gregory county VIII
have the greatest harvest this coming
fall in the history of the state.
The investor who put his money into
South Dakota lands a few years ago
finds himself rich. Five years ago $50
to S25 per acre was considered an aver
age price for land in Turner county.
To-day nothing in that vicinity can be
bought for less than $50 an acre. An
eighty-acre tract near Centerville was
recently sold for $3.50 per acre. the
seller making a profit of little over
$4,000 in six years. Another deal in that
county gave a profit of $4,000 on the
sale Of six quarter-sections. j. 5.
Thomas OF Centerville bought p quar-
ter-section and sold ii the next day at
an advance of $500. Transfers with
profits are almost a daily occurrence,
and the skywaard tendency OF land
values, with the rush of immigration
indicates that the investors with the
money can yet reap a rich reward. and
make a much safer investment than in
oil wells, gold mines or stocks.

AN UNCOVERED GRAVE.

An Old Grave Discovercd by ExcaVn-

An unmarked grave was found by
some workmen while making an exca-
walton in what was for some years the
Deadwood cemetery. The grave had
been overlooked when the bodies were
removed 10 the new cemetery, num-
Der of years ago. The coffin crumbled
to powder upon exposure to the air.
but there remained the skull and few
bones. which were re-interred in Mount
Moriah cemetery. From the location
of the grave, it was evidently made
twenty-six years ago, and probably
contained the remains Of one OF the
first white men to set foot in Dead
wood
