According to reports, the convention
Of business men which was in session at

A commissioner is to be appointed on a
salary of not to exceed $3.50 a month.
He, with the governor, secretary of state,
auditor and treasurer will constitute a
board to adopt plans for a building and
exhibit. II vas the sense of the con-
yention that corn palace should be had
if the board finds the plan practicable
and the governor is requested to imme.
diately secure location at the exposi
tion. Enough counties are pledged tc
insure the exhibit. The county boards
will now be asked to issue warrants, and
work will soon be under way. The
amount desired from the Black Hills Il

The Pringle Strike,

There was a report last week of an ex.
tremely rich find in gold which was
made near Pringle. A glowing account
was published in the Omaha papers, and
generally copied, which created consid
erable excitement for the time being
We tried to get some information as to
the true condition of affairs, and ques
toned number of people who had just
arrived from Pringle and from the vicin.
ity where the strike was reported to
have occurred. They had all heard that
some one had found prospect over in
the hills somewhere, but no ohe paid
any attention to it as such reports were
Of almost weekly occurrence and then
Was heard Of no more.
We have found that in publishing a
paper in mining camp, if one wants to
be accurate and truthful, it is well to
wait little to see if the story is con.
firmed. The story in its wildness has
not been confirmed, still there is some
truth in it. 1t appears upon investiga
tion that John Erpelding, while pros.
pecting near the limestone about three
miles northwesterly from the town oi
Pringle. found some good ore in vein
in the Hornbend, which is the prevail
ing country rock in this immediate vi.
cinity. We understand that samples oi
the ore were sent to Denver, from which
returns were received which gave $4,000
per ton in gold. The vein runs norther.
ly and southerly, but as to its width or
dip or the apparent length of the ore
shoot no one seemed to know.
We hope that these Wild reports will
not prove to be the last we shall hear
about it, but that future developments
will prove they haye sure enough min.
ing camp in that locality. We have not
had time to visit the ground but hope to
do so in the near future. This much we
do know, that somewhere in that yicin.
ity there should be crossing Of two
large belts or mineral zones. One OF
these is the Penobscot belt, which has q
strike nearly due south, taking in the
mines of mineral ridge such as the "Bo-
nanza," the Evening Star, the TON
Paine," and many others which crop
strongly in that locality. The other is
the belt which passes west from Deme.
reau mountain, just east from the town
of Pringle, where are located the "Iron
Crown" the "Paymaster," and many
more large veins Of known richness.
These two belts should cross each other
about three miles westerly from Pringle
and We would not be surprised if the
boys had found the right spot. Thus
far no vein of mineral has yet been found
I'm the Black Hills rich enough to pay
except it be where two mineral belts
cross. 1t Is in all cases where these
crossings occur that camps are formed
and towns spring up.
We are giad'to learn that the B. & M
r. X. company are taking quite an inter
est in the new find, that many promis
ing locations have been made and qnite
a number of 10 foot holes have been dug
The snow is fast disappearing and soor
the warm spring days will be upon us
when development work can DO per
formed to better advantage, and soon W,
hope to be able to give more favorabl,
and extsDded report OF the new fount
mines in this section.
