A Home for Helpless Miners.

The Lead Call is advocating that a
home should be built in the Hills for
helpless miners. The suggestion is a
very good and proper one. Even now,
when the miners of the Black Hills are
all comparatively young men, there are
many who must frequently seek help for
their health. Their life is hard one
and before many years, as they grow
older in age and in service, there will be
large numbers of them seeking a place
where they may be benefited in health
and may feel at home. At the present
time many of these miners come to Hot
Springs for the benefit of their health,
and the change of altitude, climate and
surroundings is pleasant relief. 1t
would seem that this place would there.
fore be the natural location for a min
ers' home. The home would doubtless
have hospital in connection with it, and
under all circumstances Hot Springs
would ike to submit its name for the
location Of a miners home and hospital
The arguments in favor of this place
need not be mentioned at ttis time
they are too numerous-but whenever
the miners make an organized move
ment toward establishing such an insti-
tuition We trust they will fully inyesti
gate the advantages offered here. The
main object will be Of course to locate it
where it will be CONDUCIVE to the great
est happiness of the miners. The idev
is splendid one and no doubt the min
ers feel the need OF such an institution.
Let it be agitated. Hot Springs Star.
