said Mr.. Slisby. 1T is hard to tell
which banks are the most successful,
the ones with the large or the small
capital, as all are doing splendid bus
mess. 1t is noticeable that within the
past few years many farmers are be-
coming stockholders, officers and III
rectors In the national banks, which
certainly shows that the agriculturist
is getting on easy street and has mon
ey to invest in legitimate enterprises.

zone thing that goes to prove to me
conclusively that our people are

Many of the able-bodied Indians Of
South Dakota, since they were given
to understand that the government
would no longer support them in idle
ness, are not Sinking their part of the
white mans burden. An interesting
event in this connection is the arrival
in Sioux Falls of a number of Santee
Sioux Indians, who came for the pur-
pose of procuring employment with
the ditching gang on municipal wa
terworks system which is ia course OF
construction. The Santees, whose res.
ervation is situated in Northeastern
Nebraska have been good Indians
ever since they we're punished for
their connection with the New Ulm,
MINI, massacre, by having a number
of their leading spirits executed.
A number of Santees have also Sc.
cured employment as ~arvest hands,
many of the South Dakota farmers,
owing to the shortage Of white help,
gladly availing themselves of the OPP
portunty to secure the services Of the
redmen. The able-bodied young Sioux
belonging at Sisseton agency are also
seeking employment Oh the farms OF
northeastern South Dakota. Perhaps
the most unique vocation followed by
an Indian is that of a Rosebud Sioux
named Red Elk, who has established d
ferry on White river which he oper

Many of the Sioux belonging on the
Rosebud and Pine Ridge reservations
have entered into direct competition

the true valuation of property in South
Dakota Is apparent to any one who
knows anything about the state. While
the law requires assessors to make re-
turns at true value, none of them re-
turn more than a small percentage OF
such value.
The returns on real estate will show
something of the general returns, and
personal property is scaled far more
than real estate. Lawrence county
makes a return of $29.33 per acre as
the average price in that county, and
10 other return approaches 1t. The
next highest is Lincoln, with an aver
age of 1898, while Clay is placed at
S2.25, and Union at S12.03. These are
the only counties In the state which
are returned at $12 or over. A further
discrepancy is shown when counties
in the Jim valley and the Missouri
valley are compared. Walworth coun-
ty returns lands at s473, about half
the selling price, while Beadle shows
1858 and Miner $4.29, less than one
fourth the selling value. Other coun-
ties over the state are returned on
about the same basis.

How Deposits In National Banks Have

decreased In the Last Four Years.
George A. Silsby, national bank ex-
aminer, has Just compiled a state
ment Of the condition of the national
banks in South Dakota and compared
it with the situation four years ago.
Mr.. Silsby was prepared to find a
heavy increase, but not to the extent
indicated. He says:
an January, 1899, there were TWEEN.
ty-f1ve national banks in South Dakota.
while now there are fifty-seven. The
comparative statement given herewith
shows the totals of the smaller num-
Der for 1899, and of the full number for
1903. Last year our crops were seri-
ously impaired by frosts, which mate
rally reduced the volume of deposits
and compelled many who usually had
balances with the banks to borrow
money to tide the mover. But not
withstanding, deposits show a gain
over 1889 of more than 100 per cent.
The twenty-five banks alone made a
gain of So per cent.
The following statement gives the
condition of the national banks from
January, 1899 to July /, 1903:

an exceptionally good record when it is
considered that this gold is recovered

A shaft is being put down on the
ground of the Dizzy Mining company,

ers of Deadwood.
II is asserted that the Penobscot
Mining company contemplates addi-
tional mill facilities at Garden City.
The present mill is running at its
greatest tank capacity and is making
money for the company. In the mean
time ore is being removed from the
richer Chutes and shipped for treat
ment at smelters, this ore being Of
too high a grade for treatment by cya-
nide. The development work of the
last year is said to have revealed ore
in such quantities as to fully Justify
the building of an addition to the mill.

Let's in All but Regents.
Attorney General HALL has, on re-
quest of Auditor Halliday. dled in the
office of the state auditor an opinion
covering the Increase iii salaries grant
ed by the last legislative session to the
various state officials and employees.
The attorney general thinks that in
the cases of the secretary of the state
historical society, the adiutant general,
the deputy superintendent of public in
struction, the state veterinarian and
the secretary to the governor, that
they are either employees or officers
subject to the legislative will, and that
the constitutional provisions prohib-
iting an increase in salaries does not
apply to them, they not being consti-
tutional officers.
AS to the state board of regents of
education, they are classed as different
from the board of charities and correc-
tions in the fact that they have never
received any salary. nothing being paid
to them in the past except necessary
expenses, and the act of the legisla-
ture in fixing salaries for the members
of this board was not an increase in
salary, but fixing 1t for the first time.
This opinion, IL it stands, will let in
all who were increased except the re-
gents Of education, and they will test
the ruling made by the attorney gen.
eral several days ago.
