brief It 10 similar to the other bill except
that it provides that the county shalt he
created ifthe majority Of the people wing
in the territory embraced should vote for
It At the next general election.
The introduction Of the bill produced
q lively debate. The Idaho members
protested. Thomas Of Nexperce made a
spirited talk charging Greer with bad
faith in withdrawing the bill. running
over the committee debate to show how
strenuously the people Of Nezpcrce pro
tested to being included in the new
county and citing the careful considera.
ton given the bill in the committee and
the almost unanimous report that the bill
should not pass, He closed with moving
that the bill be indefinitely postponed.
Under the pressure Of debate Thomas
finally withdrew his motion aud the bill

DES MONIES. IOWA.-The board of
control, after vainly casting about to find
some way to afford relief to the blind and
deaf 6-year-old daughter of a Mrs Stein,
a washerwoman of Knoxville, has about
decided to ask the next central assembly
for an appropriation, and the case bids
fair to become as celebrated as the one
of Linnie Haguewood, who is now COM

Chairman 'Crownie of the board: of. con-

seeing the mother Of the child on a train.
Investigation showed the Iowa law made
no provision for deaf and blind: mutes.
If the child were sent to one of the state
institutions. it would need an attendant
constantly, and with the law as it is, the
board of control feels it has no warrant
to go to the expense.

HONOR FOR A BISHOP

ton of Bishop Hare Observed
at Sioux Falls.
Informal Reception for All Glasses
His Early Work in Territory
and State. .E
Special to The Journal.

Special to Inc journal. A..
Sioux Falls, S. D., Jan. 9.-Sioux Falls
people, and many clergymen from various
parts Of the state. participated last even
ing in the public reception in honor Of the
thirtieth anniversary Of the conservation
of the Rt. Rev. William Hobart Hare,
Episcopal bishop Of South Dakota. T..
The celebration was begun by regular
church services in the cathedral COM
mencing at 1880. when Bishop Hare
preached a sermon. Following this, the
reception proper took place in the guild
room 1t was informal, and rich and
poor alike Wed with each other in tender
ing the famous bishop greeting suitable
for the occasion. 7,
Bishop Hare was consecrated in Phila-
delphta, Jan. g. 1878, and in the following
April came to the then territory of Dakota
and took up the work to which he mas
since devoted his time, energy and money.
For the first ten years he had charge OF
the missionary work among the Sioux
Indians in the western part OF the state,
driving over the reservations winter and
summer.
In 1883 he was appointed bishop and his
field constituted what Is now the state OF
South Dakota. He was placed in charge
of both the white and Indian field, either
of which was large enough to tax severe
ly the energy and strength Of any one
man. But Bishop Hare by his 1ndomlta-
BILE pluck and persistency, and notw1th-
standing his growing years, has covered
the field in a manner which has given ell
tire satisfaction to the church In general
and to his Pensioners.
Since Bishop Hare's coming to Sioux
Falls he has built the magnificent church
edffce, which cost originally $4,000, and
which has been added to at different
times, and has also had constructed ALI
Saints school. which represents an expen-
diture Of over $4,000. The money was
raised through his personal efforts. Dur
ing the thirty years in which he has been
connected with the work In South Da-
kota he has distributed more than half a
million dollars for religious and educa-
tional purposes.

TAX ON LAND CONTRACTS
State Supreme Court Holds 1t Is Not
Double Taxation

MARQUETTE, MICH.-A decision of
far-reaching Importance has just been
handed down by the Michigan Iron and
Land company. It is that.lan contracts
are taxable.
Land contracts amounting to about
$4,000 We're put on the assessment rolls
for 1901 by the city, the taxes amount
ing o$l,600. The company refused to
pay, and on the case being taken to the
circuit court a decision was given in the
city s favor The company appealed.
Now under the ruling of the higher
tribunal, the $1,000 will have to be paid,
as we'll as a similar amount levied on the
roll for 1902 and likewise all future taxes
of the same kind.
1t was contended by the defendant that
the taxation of land contracts was double
taxation since the land primarily is taxed
This is not sustained by the supreme
court, and, in. common with the Michigan
iron and Land company, other large cor
porations dealing in land on the contract
system throughout the state are liable to
the extra taxation =

ORE Is THERE; MILLS NEEDED
Wonderful Deposits Of Bald Mountain ane
Ruby Basin District.

"onderfui DepoSlrS OF 6aio MOUNTAIN anu
Ruby Basin District.
TERRY. S. D.-The great horizontal ore
belt of Bald mountain and Ruby basin
continues its production of commercial
ore without perceptible variation. AS
work progresses in these siliceous de-
posits they become more formidable In
their extent and richness.
These ore bodies lie along the quartzlte
flooring. having generally a northerly and
southerly trend, being some times ar
ranged consecutively, at other times lying
parallel to each other, and again grouped
in echelon and maintaining reasonable
proximity to each other. AS rule their
form is oblong or eliptical, and their di-
mansions range from length OF lew
hundred feet by width of ten or twenty
feet to several miles in length and hun
dreds Of feet in width.
A oss-section through the Tornado
mine of the Golden Reward Mining COM
pany reveals bodies of ore whose aggre-
gate width is 729 feet, for explored dis
3 lance of 4,200 feet on the course Of the
shoots. One of the Golden Reward shoots
has been mined for a mile and a half
continuously without reaching either ter
minal The mean width of this shoot is
Ito feet.
In the same belt a ss-section of 1000
feet through the workings of the Horse
shoe Mining company shows 1,15S feet OF
solid ore. whose thickness is from four tC
twenty-five feet.
Both the Golden Reward and Horseshoe
properties reveal enormous assures of
free gold ore of commercial grade ano
both companies have explored them tt
some extent.
Other siliceous deposits of vast extent
have been found in the Ragged Top. Anne
Creek and Garden City DISTRICTS all con.
tiguous to the Bald mountain region ani
exhibiting the same general formative
characteristics. The Spearfish Gold min
ing and Reduction company at Ragged
Top has opened one shoot of ore 400 fee
wide. having mean thickness of twelve
feet, for 1900 feet in length, without dis
closing the terminals.
On Annie creek the old South Dakott
company disclosed vast blankets o
siliceous ore years ago, and these are nov
,Ak-sar-ben and other companies. Half
mile east of Annie creek the Dakota Min
ing company Is at work on a series o
similar shoots.
At the Realization mine in the Gardel
City region several ore shoots over 80
feet wide have been disclosed by ex
ploration, and their length is unknown
There is nothing in the gold mining worl
to compare with the ore bodies of tn
Hills outside Of the South African RAND
Competent mining men who have in
spected the two regions find much sim
ilarity.
1t is not any longer a question of or
in Hills mines, but of mills to reduc
the ore. On every hand companies an
individuals are, exerting themselves

the ore into marketable bullion. ST
mills are now building.
