Times In the East and West.

Mr.. Harris franklin of Deadwood,
who has just returned from Chicago, re-
ports that times are good. The late furry
in stocks which was caused by excessive
watering has passed, prices reduced to
their legitimate value, and business in a
more satisfactory condition than before.
The banks to great extent have called
in their loans and there is plenty of
money this year to move crops. which,
although only about I of full crop is
just about as we'll, as the prices will be
better.
Mr.. Franklin's company will close out
their cattle on the ranges of Montana
Wyoming and South Dakota, and will
restrict their cattle business to just what
stock they can find facilities to pasture
and feed. The reason for this is given
that the country is becoming 30 filed up
with settlers, farmers and small cattle
men the ranging cattle in large herds is
too much interfered with to be profit
able.
In regard to the starting up of the Col.
den Reward smelter, he says that 1t will
not take place before October, as Mr..
Hartman, who is the president of the
company is now in Europe and will not
return before the last of September.

SOUTH DAKOTA SCHOOL OF MINES

The Next Scholastic Year Will Begin
Wednesday, Sept. 16, 1908.
The last session of the legislature dealt
very literally with this institution. Not
only was the general maintenance very
much increased, but large special ap-
preparation was made for building, a
power plant and the equipment of a
physical laboratory.
The new building will contain libra
ry and reading room, lecture room for
the department of geology and engineer
ing, laboratory for geology and deter
minative mineralogy, physical labora-
tory. two mechanical drawing rooms
and blueprint room.
The School of Mines has made great
advances within the past few years and
now draws students from every section
of the United States. To the people OF
the Black Hills it would call special at
tention to the following course of study
1. Mining Engineering Course.
2. Special Course in Assaying, Chem
istry, Mining and Metallurgy.
8. Preparatory Course.
4. English Commercial Course.
The Park Hotel, located near the
school building, is now used as dormi-
tory and boarding house for the students,
who pay only the actual cost offood and
rent. Mining students secure summer
work which enables them to meet most
of their expenses for the ensuing school
year.

A Wave OF Accidents.

Does everything run in waves7 We
know ne have waves of heat, and we
know that We have waves of cold, we
have waves of humidity or rain and we
have waves of drouth. We have indi-
vidual and national waves of prosperity
and waves Of panic and depression. On
a more extended scale We have waves of
intellectual progress, and waves Of ig
norance and darkness the world over.
These things are unaccountable, they
are mysterious and belong to the unI
movable. But just now we seem to
have 80 fer as this community is con-
cerned wave ofaccidents: There have
been times when for series of years we
have not been called upon to chronicle
serious accident, when all at once we
have to record, seven serious accidents
within month. First the daughter of
Mf. Joseph Heumphreus fell and broke
her arm. Then Geo. Raver's little girl
fell and broke her arm. Then Harry
Way fell and injured his spine. Then
Mr.. Alfred Johnson fell from building
and was seriously hurt. On Sunday the
little daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Monheim fell from her horse and broke
her arm. Next comes frankie Kubler,
the son Of the proprietor of this paper,
who last Tuesday evening fell from a hay
stack and fractured the bone of the arm
where it joins the shoulder, and on We'd
nesday. the girl of Mr.. wm. Freshmen
living south Of town fell and broke her
arm.
We hear Of like things happening in
neighboring communities, but we speak
now of our own. Does it run in waves 7
1t would seem 80. Barron Won Hum
boldt said "the universe Is governed by
law" and brought down to scientific
basis We presume that 1t must be 30.
We know that every cause must have an
effect and every effect must have an adj
quate cause, and upon that principle
there could be no such things as an acci-
dent, and no such thing as luck. Still
all the same these things come to pass
and we can not account for them. The
blind SOW will sometimes pick up an
acron, and the hog with eyes can find
none. There was a time in this COM
munity when we passed series Of five
years without death, ESQ we are told the
record runs) and there have been other
times when without any apparent cause
death after death occurs in close success
sion, and many of our people have been
caused to mourn, and many are bowed
down in sorrow. Does it run in waves2

hast OF tie old Guard.

Red Cloud, chief ofthe Sioux, is dying.
His frame shrunken, his skin shriveled,
his arm palsied, his eyes bleared, his
spirit broken, his power gone, his race
scattered, his empire no more, the old
man lies in little tent one mile from
the Pine Ridge agency in South Dakota.
How are the mighty fallen This Red
Clouds estate now is a matter of paltry
ten acres-ten acres Of virgin nature.
Farms hedge it about, but no plow has
turned its soil. Chief Red Cloud will
die With reminders around him of the
freedom Of the one-time unfenced plains,
with this little spot Of wilderness to re-
call the fair and unlimitless domain of
which he was once lord.
The go7etnmeFt built him a house.
But as old age came on he forsook it to
abide in tent. His only companion is
his aged wife, who is his ruler and the
real chief of the Sioux. When the squaw
overbears 30 naughty chieftain, then is
humiliation complete. Now he seeks
only to look ont upon his ten acre king
dom and mediate upon the past.
What tragedy is represented by this
old man, and what retrospect can he
summon to mind He knew the rich
northwest when the buffalo roamed
there. He knew the rolling plains and
the silent forests before the white man
trod them. He witnessed the white
mans coming. He understood that the
white mans domination meant the grad
ual extinction of his race. BY bravery
and superior sagacity, in conflict with
other red men, he became chief. BY
his determination to fight the whites
while yet any hope of victory remained,
he became chief of all the Sioux. And
he fought desperately-no man ever
fought more desperately-for thirty long
years. Then he saw that he could do no
more. His struggle meant only other
and still other of his braves sacrificed.
He buried his hatchet. He signed the
peace paper. That was in fact the end
for he kept the peace agreement. His
continued existence, doubtless, was q
torture. If his life could have gone out
when he signed away his title to his
wide spread prairies, he would have
been better pleased.
The passing of the Indian was newt
able. But the wells of sentiment was
stirred in contemplating how the red
race was ground under the heels of civil
lization. 1t is such silent commentaries
as the dying Red Cloud that cause us
often for brief moments to regret the
cost of progress. But we know that re.
gret is illogical, and that in fact the ex-
piring gasp of the aged chief will be a
faint echo of the Indian problem which
so long perplexed the administration OF
the west.-St. Louis Republic.

The water was turned on with full force
unexpectedly and without warning. and
the effect was to jirk him backwards with
such force that he lost his balance and
fell 30 feet to the level below, striking on
his back among some rocks. He was
taken to the hospital In Lead where he
underwent an examination, when it was
found that his spine was injured to such
an extent that from his hips down he is
now almost totally paralyzed. He is
resting easy and does not suffer much
pain. and is in perfect possession Of his
faculties. He can feel some sensation
when the flesh of the lower limbs are
touched, and upon this fact the physi-
clans base a faint hope that he may
recover. They say too that it is possible
that some internal hemorrhage may
have produced blood clot which press
ing against the spine may produce the
present paralysis. IF this be true the
blood clot would finally be absorbed and
he would be relieved, and under those
circumstances might in time recover. 1t
is sincerely hoped that this may prove
true, for though It Is extremely lament
able at best, still he might well think it
better to be dead than to live in this
world in psralyzed and helpless condi-
ton.

,rhs Mining Congress.

The latest victory for the managers oi
the American Mining Congress is the re.
consideration by the New England Pas
senger Association of the matter Of rates
1t was given out from headquarters that
this association had refused to grant any
special rates to the congress. However
word has been received that rate of one
fare and third would be allowed in
that territory. Even better rates than
have been secured from every other part
Of the country.
The report that the hotel rates would
be raised during the congress has been
emphatically denied over the signature
of the managers of the hotels. They
publish scale rate and will adhere to
it.
One Of the principal features of the
congress will be the Mineral Exhibit.
The Deadwood exhibit will show that
gold is not the only mineral that is mined
in paying quantities in the Black Hills.
Although there will be hundreds Of tons
Of gold-bearing ore in the display, visi-
tors will be astonished to see silver. tin,
lead and copper ore taken from the
mines in this territory that are paying
properties. The mica quarries of the
Southern Hills will be represented by
large collections; graphite. Fu1ler's
earth, kaolin, spodumene, uranium and
other products of like character win
form large part of the exhibit. 1t is
claimed by experts here that the new
discovery, radium, is found in the de-
posits of uranium in this vicinity. The
Black Hills marble quarries will have q
magnificent collection of specimens in
this exhibit.
The different conditions in which gold
and iron are found will be Interestingly
illustrated by ores of various kinds. To
the uninitiated, the collections of tellur.
ides will prove highly interesting and
instructive, and to the mining men from
various parts of the earth it will prove
the statement of Marvin Hewitt, Of Chi
cago, that the Black Hills are the "rich-
est one hundred miles square on earth.
AS a side feature of this exhibit there
has been constructed in miniature, a
reproduction Of the famous Crystal Caye
built of crystals taken from the cave.
The U. 8. Fish Hatchery, at Spearfsh,
where Uncle Sam cultivates more trout
than anywhere else, will occupy a room
filed with glass tanks Of running water,
showing the methods of fish culture and
the fish in different STAGES

1t has been officially announced thai

It has been officially announced that
government officials are on their way to
the scenes of the conflict between the
steepmen and the cowmen of Wyoming.
In the mixup between the two factions
over the range privileges, a deadly en-
nifty has been born and the sheepmen
have made call upon the government
to protect them and their interests at the
hands Of the cattlemen. 1t is charged
that conspiracy is on foot among the
cattlemen to kill of the sheep in sys-
t1matic manner by the use ofpoison and
otherwise, and incidentally to kill any of
the shespmen who may desire to resist
the outrage.

The first discovery of gold in the west
was in the town of Caloma in California
by man named Marshall. This was on
January 19, 1s4S, and the discovery was
made while digging in ditch for flume
in the erection of saw mill to be run
by water. Truly great gates sometimes
swing upon small hinges, and it is inter
etting to contemplate the history of gold
mining from that day to this. 1t was but
a short time ago, and it was seemingly
but little thing, but in the effects and
in the changes it has wrought in this
country it may well be set down as the
greatest discovery of the age.

This has been called the "iron age" but
it is fast being merged into what may be
called the electric age," as so many
wonderful things are being performed
through the agency of that invisible
power. One of the latest discoveries is
announced by Prof. Braun of Strasburg,
who says that he has invented means
generating the fluid in unlimited guam
tity and projecting it to any desired dis
tance, in waves, without wire.

The yacht race which was postponed
to await suitable weather was again at
tempted on the lst of September but for
lack of wind neither boat made the dis
tance within the time limit, and it was
declared no race. The American boat
Reliance, however, was ahead when they
were called to quit, which shows that
Sir Thomas Lipton's chances to lift the
cup this year has gone glimmering. The
plucky Englishman who has spent near
IL a million dollars in these contests
still comes up smiling and says it is hard
but it is fair, and he thinks the Ameri-
cans have the best boat.

The entire trouble arises from inanition,
