State Mine Inspector Gregory has
made his annual report for the year 1902.
He dwells somewhat upon the great ad-
vancement that has been made in the
mining industry in the Black Hills In
the past year, and reports all interests
in his department enjoying the highest
prosperity. He reports the number Of
accidents which have occurred in the
mines as %. Thirteen of these were fa-
tai, while nine were more or less seri-
ously injured. He makes the gratifying
statement that while the regular miners
wages are being paid in all the different
districts, that the utmost harmony exists
between the employers and the miners
at work. Mr.. Gregory recommends a
universal system of bell calls to be used
in all the mines in the Hills, which is a
good idea and should be adopted. A
uniform system of bells, to be placed at
every shaft would greatly lessen the
danger of accidents. which "is consum-
nation devoutly to be wished" He
gives the number Of miners employed
under ground as 3,207. The mine super
intendents have thus far shown q will
lingness to accede to all of his sugges-
tions and requirements for the purpose
of rendering the mines more safe and
the men more comfortable. Truly it
may be said that mining in the Black
Hills is at this time in the hey day of its
ulory

Pierre or Mitchell.

The South Dakota capital question Is
attracting the attention of the people in
adjoining states. and leads the Sioux
City Journal to make the following
editorial mention:
"The question whether the future cap
ital of South Dakota Shall be located at
Pierre or Mitchell seems to be up to the
voters Of the state. While the storm
had isolated Pierre from the rest of the
world all the legislative advocates Of re-
submission got together in caucus to de-
eide which could make the strongest
showing in competition with Pierre.
Out of the 1872 members of the legsls
ture l07 were at the caucus, and the test
showed Mitchell to be overwhelmingly
in the lead. OF the 107 votes Mitchell
secured 81, Huron 10 and Redfeld 7.
According to previous agreement among
the resubmissionists the full strength of
the caucus is to 60 to the winner, and it
is accepted as foregone conclusion that
the question the voters will have to de-
eide will be whether the capital is to re-
main at Pierre or be removed to Mitch
ell.
"The outcome ofthe caucus seems to be
accepted without question throughout
the state. The question of removal was
one which was bound to bob up regu-
larly until settled, temporarily at least.
by resubmission. Since the topic was
broached this year Pierre has understood
she would have to make fight this win
ter to retain the capital, and she has not
cared seriously which of the competing
cities would be her opponent Advices
from Pierre indicate no effort from that
quarter will be made to defeat resub
mission, but that Pierre will save her en-
ergies for the fight which will have to be
made against odds, when the question
goes before the people. Mitchell will
enter the contest quite confident Of sue
cess.
"The wise ones will say that Mitchell's
overwhelming showing in the caucus
could have been secured only after as
surance had been given Of future direct
railway connection between Mitchell
and the Black Hills, and after Sioux
Falls had been placated with the prom

Farmers are getting over the idea that
farm papers are edited by some man sit
ting up in an Office in the city, trying to
tell them how to make farming pay and
that tho articles are written by theorists
and dreamsrs, who know nothing cf the
needs Of practical farming. That may
have been the case some years ago, but
with modern farm magazine like the
Twentieth Century Farmer the editor is
. man who is closely in touch with all Of
the questions that como up regarding
how to make farming pay better. The
articles in this paper are all by practical
men and the farmers who are reading
what they say find that it pays to keep
posted on the progress which is being
made in their own line Of work. No
doctor would think of practicing medi-
cine without taking several medical jour-
mails neither can farmer keep up with
progress in farming unless he takes
magazine like The Twentieth Century
Farmer. For example, some of the con-
tributors whose articles will appear dur
ing the nezt few issues are: F. ID. Co
burn, secretary Kansas State Board Of
Agriculture; Prof. G. F. Curtiss, Iowa
Agricultural college; B. o. Aylesworth,
president Colorado Agricultural college !;
Colonel F. M. Woods. the noted live
stock auctioneer; Charles K. Bessey, the
great botanist; John Gosling, the noted
bsef expert; Frederick w. Taylor, direc-
tor of agriculture at St. Louis Worlds

Irrigation.

There is Just now great deal OF inter
est being exhibited all over the west up
on the question Of irrigation. And as
we have for the last twenty years, in
season and out Of season been using all
our powers Of tongue and pen to inaug-
urate and forward the scheme, We may
say that We rejoice at 1t. We have al
ways favored the adoption of the idea
by the general government and it looks
now as If that desire was about to be
gratified.
A bill has been framed and is now
awaiting its turn to be introduced in
congress and the senate which will call
for large appropriation of funds for this
purpose. 1t seems to us as II it was .
reflection upon the intelligence of the
United States, that during so many
years Of the past, thai 80 many millions
Of acres Of land si.oulde lie barren and
useless when all that Is needed to make
them productive is the simple diverting
of the water courses of the country from
their channels where they now run to
waste. 1t seems such simple thing to
do that we are at iocs to understand
why all this excellent land should have
been permitted to lay neglected and
barren, when by an easy and natural ap-
plication Of a little Of natures life giving
fluid those millions Of waste lands might
be yielding to the willing hands of in
dustry, fruits and flowers, and yellow
fields Of grain. Where are our states
men, where ere our students Of political
and domestic economy, to allow such a
condition to obtain SO long, when there
are millions of hands that want acres
and million of acres that want hands.

YUMA COUNTY MINES.
Jack Rivers, in California, Speaks a
 Good Word for Them.

J. A. Rivers, superintendent of the Success Copper Mining Company at Quartzsite, Yuma county, Arizona, is in this city with reference to the pur- chase of a shelter for the mine.
 The Success mine is financed by the following well-known residents of Los Angeles: Epes Randolph, T. F. Gib- bon, Robert Marsh, C. E. Eichelberger and others, and gives promise of being a big money maker Development work has been done on large scale and water, which was the one thing wanted of greatest value, has been struck on the 300-fCOt level. The water strike means money to the owners for every inch developed, and work from now on will be rushed.
 The property is located off from the Colorado river, which enables the own CTS to purchase supplies and machinery in Los Angeles and ship by water from the California side of the Yuma bridge. The freight to the Arizona side of the bridge is 8 per car in excess of the rate to the California side.
 The nearest river point to the mine is Ehrenburg, 125 miles from Yuma, which gives the Success people an ad- vantage over the Denver machinery men, who practically monOpolize the mining machinery and supply trade Of the territory. The building of a smell ter is made necessary to save the long and expensive haul to Fl Paso, and suf- ficient ore has been blocked out to run a shelter for six months without further development work. Los Angeles has furnished all of the machinery, such as cages, cars, rails, hoisting engines and pumps used in the mine, and will prob ably furnish the shelter.
 Unless all signs fail, Yuma county will have direct railroad connection with Prescott and Phoenix via the Santa Fe system in the near future. A corps of engineers is now in the field surveying line to connect with the Prescott and Phoenix road at Congress. The probable crossing of the Colorado river will be at Ehrenberg, where the surveying outfit is now at work. The objective point of the new line is the undeveloped oil territory on the Blythe estate holdings of 1000 acres. Good oil prospects have been found and de- veloped in different parts of the Blythe property. Oil in commercial quanti- ties in this district, with all rail outlet, will mean much to mining and general business interests, not only to the Colo orado river territory but to the rail roads. Cheap fuel will be the crying want in the near future, as the wood supply is being rapidly exhausted.
 The crossing of the Colorado river is the only expensive problem to be solved in building the projected branch, as the territory from Congress is of easy grade,-Los Angeles Herald.
