Indian outbreak of 1876, every man
and team in the country went to work
for the quartermaSter's department Of
the United States army, putting up
hay, putting in wood and hauling sup
plies. Then came the Black Hills eX-
element, and a thousand men and
teams were hauling goods to the Black
Hills, and when Robert Macnider came
to break the 800 acres for Gen. Stark
he had 10 send to Minnesota for the
breaking outfit, and when the editor Of
the Record came to break the first five
acres in a body broken west of the
Red River valley for the beginning of
farm, he paid $40 per acre for the
breaking. He planted it to beans the
first year, and they came up and grew
as beans never were known to grow
before; but the grasshoppers took leaf
and trunk and dug down and took the
roots, and then le1t in disgust because
there were no more to eat Farmer
Wallace succeeded the grasshoppers
on yc EDITORS farm, and made q great
success of it. While we are talking of
grasshoppers. it is a fact that they
were so thick on the prairics of the
Red River valley in 1873, and crowded
onto the railroad track in such vast
numbers that they stopped the trains.
Their crushed bodies were SO fat and
meaty that they creased the track. and
the train could not be moved until the
track was sanded. There were no farms
in the valley then, and no one suffered
from the grasshoppers' depredations
and there was never an cutlery against
them.

to perform this peculiar feat is not
known. but that it does so is stoutly
affirmed by a hundred or more men
who have witnessed the exhibition,
which has been repeated almost every
morning since June.
Several gentlemen, after witnessing
the dogs movements. have concluded
that the quadruped was at one time
connected with a show in which his
duty was to run about an arena Mt a
certain hour each day. They think
that the habit contracted there has
chung to the dog and cannot be shaken
Off. The performance usually lasts
about an hour. and Of late there is
frequently a number of spectators on
hand. Attempts have been made to
capture the beast. but 1t eludes oil eff
forts and persists in taking its morn
ing exercise unless frightened of by
an attempt to interfere.
The animal Is said to be black, with
tan legs, somewhat resembling a COL
lie, and is about az large as a setter.
A few weeks ago the path was filed
up with dirt to determine II the dog
could find the place again. The next
day when the canine returned he be-
gan the usual race with himself in pre-
cisely the same spot. and a few days
later the path was again clearly mark
ed. 1t is now worn about two inches
deep. Tree roots which cross 1t are
worn like secured planks. In the cen

OUR SOIL Is RICH IN GEMS.
Where American Precious Stones Hav
Been Found by Miners.

Where American Precious Stones Have
Been Found by Miners.
The report Of the geological survey,
just compiled for 1901. shows that dur
ing that year there were mined in the
United States precious stones to the
value Of about 100000. When talking
about rare and beautiful gems ones
thoughts naturally revert to South Az
RIGA or the Orient or the mountains of
Asia and Europe. or perhaps to South
America, but one Is not likely to think
Of our own land yielding them; but
the fact Is that no Insignificant value
in gems Is taken from the soil right
here at home. The report Of the geo.
logical survey shows that during that
year we mined in the United States
precious stones to the value Of about
100000.
Diamonds represent only 500 Of this
amount, but the fact that they are
found at all gives encouragement to
the hope that paying fields of them
may some time be found. Last year
one diamond was found in Lee County,
Georgia. where diamonds We're not be-
fore known to exist. New Mexico fur
nished $11S,0OO in turquoises. and these
have been placed on the market. Mon
tana gave us $4,000 in sapphires,
which come next. They come from
Fergus County. Granite County is
now being explored for fancy colored
sapphires. that give evidences Of
being there in paying quanti-
ties. Fine and extensive rhodolite
garnet deposits are found in Macon
County. North Carolina. Many dark
green. blue and yellow beryls, as well
as amethysts and emeralds, were
found in that State. There Is hardly
a State Of the Union in which there Is
not some trace Of precious stones and
1t appears not at all unlikely that be-
fore many years we may be competing
with the old world in furnishing gems.

GIANT BEEF TRUST.
Corporation Including the Prom.
nent Packing Mouses Has
Been Formed.

New York, Oct. 2l.-The giant beef
trust, the New Jersey organization
which was strenuously denied by all
concerned, became fact when 1t was
chartered at Trenton. Its name is the
United States Packing Company. Its
capital is nominally placed at 81 ,00O,-
OOU. This will be increased in a week
or go to $50 .0OO,O 900.
The incorportors are dummies, clerks
of the Corporation Trust Company, of
Jersey City. Their names are Horace
D. Gould, F. K. Howard and K. X.
McLaren. The real members are hid
den for the present but are known to
include Swift & Co., Armour 4 Co.,
Nelson Norris 4 Co., and the various
plants controlled by them. Cudahy &
Co., and Schwarzschild 4 Sulzberger
are said to be members.
John D. Rockefeller is sponsor for
the new trust. ]. W. Cudahy is said to
be slated for president. Kuhn, Loeb
& Co., the great firm of bankers, of
which Jacob Schiff is head, and which
managed the Northern Pacific fight for
Rockefeller, has charge of the organiza-
ton.
By the certficte of incorporation the
new trust is empowered to "buy, sell,
breed and deal in cattle, sheep, poultry,
game. fish and all kinds of livestock"
By another clause of the certificate the
company is authorized to "build, pur-
chase or establish markets or butcher
shops and deal in all kinds of meat pro-
dncts."
The 81 200, 900 capital stock is divid-
ed into 10000 shares of the par value
of 500, one-half of which is preferred
and the other common stock. The pre-
ferred is bound to semi-annual divi-
dend of at least 81 100, but never more
than per cent. Should the concern
fail all stocks participate equally in the
assets.
1t is significant fact that the trust
was chartered the very day on which
official announcement was made of the
signing of contract with the Union
Pacific for St. Paul trains to 60 tn the
Pacific ocean over the Hartman tracks.
Rockefeller, now in position to ship
the products of his new trust to all
parts of the world without any fights
with railroads, is ready to feed the
world at his own prices. His share in
the shipping trust recently launched
by j. P. Morgan insures easy rates for
his meats to Europe.

dus try in 1902.

Washington, Oct. 23.-The annual
volume on the mineral resources of the
United States for 1901, prepared by DR..
David l.. Day, of the geological survey,
has been sent to the press and will! be
issued soon. An interesting feature Of
the report is a compilation of statistics
showing the number of working DAYS
lost in strikes in the coal industry.
These figures inlude the present year
and are brought up to date. The total
number of days lost for the present year
is placed at q, 200, 900 days, compared
with 733. 1902 days in 1901, 4,S7S,Ol2 in
1900. and 2,124.l54 in 1899. The re-
port places the total mineral product of
the year at 81 ,OS6. 529, 521, a gain of a
little more than per cent, over the
production of 1900.
