Engineer Walter Here.

On Wednesday morning r. F. Walter,
engineer of the U. S. geological survey,
arrived in town to make an examination
of the proposed site for a reservoir in
the gap, under the national irrigation
act. He was accompanied by G. l.. Cong
er ana A. K. Mills. He has just CON-
pleted two days examination of site
in Fall River county that Mr.. Mills has
been interested in for a number of years.
With that plant established, taking the
Cheyenne river, in the neighbort ood oi
$4,000 acres of ground could be irrigated
and possibly considerable more. Mr.
Alexander and the Wtiter accompanied
Mr.. Walters, Mr.. Conger and Mr.. Mills
in drive to the head OF the creek so
that the engineer could see the lay OF
the land, the canyons and the width OF
the gap. Returning to the mouih Of the
gap Mr.. Walter examined the points or
tIIe oouti, side, auu especially the wall
against which the water runs just before
going oyer the dam. From this ledge Of
rock is where in all probability the
great dam would cross the canyon, some
eight hundred feet long and about one
hundred feet high. An important thing
in connection with dam Of this magni-
tude is to provide spillway Insufficient
capacity to carry away all the food wat
er that might come down the gap, as no
water must 60 over the dam. In this
same ledge of rock referred to there is a
sag through which the spilway could be
cut from 400 to 500 feet wide and as deep
as might be necessary. A reservoir of
this size would probably cover several
hundred acres of land. From what Mr..
Walter said we are satisfied that he will
make favorable report on the site and
recommend further examination. This
would mean that all the details would
be looked into by corps of surveyors
and engineers to determine the size of
the dam, the amount Of earth and rock
to be moved, construction, etc., which
would be the basis to determine the cost,
the amount of water supply, the amount
of land irrigated, which would deter
mine the amount of revenue to be deriv-
ed therefrom. From these reports the de-
partment can determine whether the
project is feasible. There is very little
doubt but what thousands of acres of
land to.the east of US could be irrigated
and made the most fertile farms in the
state, if the water supply was sufficient.

tt annual picnic and meeting of the
Black Hills Sunday school association,
which was held at Mayo this week, was
we'll attended, and will rank as one Of
the most successful ever held in the
Hills. The organization was formed in
August, 1879. The first Sunday school
of the Black Hills was organized at Gus
ter in the summer of 1876, but was dis
banded. The first permanent Sunday
school to be organized in the region was
in the Congregational at Deadwood, in
December 1875. In 1881 the number Of
schools was eighteen, and the total num-
ber enrolled 100. In 1908 the total
number of schools is forty-one and the
enrolment 3,210.

which have occurred, and that still take
place in the county, come from the foot
hills and the valleys. All this in the
face Of the fact that in the timbered por-
of the Hills, and among the mines the
the population far more dense and the
miners lines of the miners claims cross
each other in every conceivable direc-
ton. Still it is very seldom that any
serious disputes arise over things Of this
kind, and when a new conner arrives
who thinks that all the good mineral
ground has been taken, and to get hold
OF a mine he must jump somebody's
claim no soon finds ont that it don't 60.
There is seldom any serious trouble
arises, and it is soon settled without re-
course to arms or even to the strong arm
of the law. The miner realizes that his
government is just and very liberal, and
that what he acquires is by virtue Of the
law. For this reason he makes study
of the law, and in most cases he knows
what his rights are under that law
Having learned what he is entitled to,
he knows that the law is fair and right,
and knowing that it is 80, he appreciates
it, respects 1t, and feels in duty bound 10
see that it is respected. More than
this there is fraternal feeling amongst
the old time miners which springs large
ly from the fact that they have worked
in the mines together, have faced the
dangers, have eat, drank, slept, and shar-
ed each others burdens together. These
are the things more than all others, that
makes friendship amongst men, and
these must account for the difference
between the farmer and the miner.

A New Invention.

VIM. Todd. one of our Custer boys,
has been exercising his inventive geni-
GUS, and after due incubation he has
brought out something that is both new
and useful. 1t is in the form of fruit
or egg case, and is altogether so neat
and handy, and answers the purpose for
which it was designed so perfectly, that
We predict that it must come into almost
universal use. They may be made oi
paper or leather, or even thin sheet oi
wood and are put together without a
nail, pin, screw, string or any device for
fastening, except the ends of the parts
are just tucked. 1t is made in the shape
of a valise, large or small, and when
closed and fastened and ready to be car.
ried by the handle it has a tendency to
pull together instead of pulling apart
This makes the receptacle very strong
and as one of them can be cut and put
together in about ten minutes it follows
that they can be sold very cheap. One
should be able to purchase one of these
cases for say from to so cents accord
ing to size. They may be used as an
ordinary yalise to carry clothing or any.
thing except liquids and should there.
fore enter into almost universal use
The patent has been applied for, and
the answer has been received that the
device is entirely new, and nothing oi
the kind has ever been presented to the
patent Office. We congratulate Mr.
Todd upon having put the gray matter
in his Uranium to so profitable use
