The American Mining congress met
in Deadwood on the morning of the 9Th
and the program for the day was carried
out. Governor Herried delivered the
address of welcome and was heartily APP
plauded. He was followed by President
Richards who In a very happy speech
responded to the address Of welcome.
Mayor Mcdonald, Congressman Martin
and John L. Webster all made speeches
of ten and fifteen minutes. When gath
cred in the afternoon the meeting had
the pleasure of listening to a speech by
Leslie NJ. Shaw which was replete with
wisdom and wit and created unbounded
enthusiasm. The gathering was not 30
large at the opening exercises as was
anticipated but every train that arrived
was loaded to swell the c%oncourse Of
people. The weather has been all that
could be desired, the program will be
carried out to the letter, and we trust
and believe that much good will result
from the meeting not only to the Black
Hills but to the mining fraternity at
large.

TWOH0MESDAMAGED

Within Ten Minutes
OCCUPANTS WERtSTUNNED
Telephone Wire Carrie S
Charge Into House,

Within a period of not more than ten
minutes during the thunder storm yester-
day forenoon two houses in different parts
OF the city were struck by lightning and
in both cases the occupants of the houses
received shocks severe enough to stun
them for several minutes. The storn
lasted but few minutes but the atrnos-
phere was thoroughly charged with
electricity and the flashes Of lightning
w.re frequent. The houses struck were
those of A Robinson who lives on Ar
kansas avenue and 3. d. Allen. of 20j
Rutan avenue.
About 9:40 yesterday morning a bolt
struck the chimney Of Mr.. Robinson )
house near the center Of the roof. The
bficks in the chimney were thrown in
every direction and scattered over the
yard. The current then followed the
Roof down tearing off shingles and dam
aging the roof TO a great extent. After
running down the roof a few feet it went
inside and followed the walls down to
5t.he living room where Mr.. and Mrs
Robinson were sitting. Both were shock
ed and did not recover for several min
utes. Neither could realize what had
happened for some time after the shock
They recovered in a few minutes and
felt no i'll effects from the shock yester-
day afternoon.
About minutes after the home of Mr..
Robinson was struck lightning struck the
telephone wire leading to the home Of
3. d. Allen and followed it TO the house
and telephone where Mr. Allen was talk
Ing. When the charge reached the tele-
phone Mr.. Allen was thrown clear across
large room and fell upon his back un-
conscious and paralyzed. ether mem
bers of the family were in the room and
ali received a slight shock but none so
severe as that received by Mr.. Allen
who was holding the receiver He was
holding the receiver in his left hand
pressed to his ear but the only part Of
his body affected by the shock was his
right foot. which member he was bath
ing In cold water when the physician
arrived. His hearing was not impaired
although he says the noise made by the
charge was something awful The room
was damaged considerably and the tele-
phone receiver was blown to numberless
pieces. The wires leading to the tele-
phone were burned off just outside Of
the building and were charged for several
feet from the end. Brick, mOrtor and
pieces of metal wefe scattered for yards
around the point where the charge en-
tered the house. Mr.. Allen considered
IT a miracle that ne escaped with his life
under the circumstances

the truant officer are determined to en-
force the laws rigidly and compel the
children of this city to attend school.
II circumstances will not allow the child
to go to school, the truant officer is to

sary. but children between the ages of

TWO VIEWS OF ALFALFA.

A friend in Minnesota writes us stat
ing that alfalfa cannot be made a sue
cess without irrigation; that there Is
not sufficient rainfall in Minnesota,
Iowa and Illinois to make the plant a
success. He further says that even
where it can be raised it is the poorest
crop ever put in the ground and that
as hay it will only bring one-fourth as
much as timothy or one-third as much
as clover. He concludes by saying that
alfalfa is a fad, being doomed by men
that have seed and land sharks that
have worthless land to sell and advises
Iowa farmers to stick to timothy, cl0-
yer and blue grass and even foxtail,
but to let alfalfa alone. This is one
view. Here is another view from an
old friend in Washington. He writes
us that he has 100 acres In alfalfa,
from which he made last year $50 tons
of hay, worth there now $12 per ton.
He says that 1t is the most valuable
crop which he can raise, all kinds of
stock keeping in good flesh upon 1t
without any grain whatever, including
his work horses, unless they are con-
stantly driven. He last year secured
three cuttings and then had fall feed a
foot high until the middle of Novem-
Der, and all this without irrigation.
Which Of these two men is right?

ARouT Fish PONDS.

A reader of these notes wants to
know something about artificial fish
ponds-how to make and care for one.
Two things are necessary, one an I'M
failing supply Of pure water, which
may be obtained either from a natural
spring or an artesian well If the water
is not mineralized, the other location
for the pond where it will be exempt
from the action of flood water in wet
time. Given these conditions the pond
should be not less than eight feet in
depth in the center and of any size de-
sired, corresponding to the flow Of wa
ter from the spring. In such pond our
ordinary food fishes-pike and black
bass being the best-shOuld do well If
properly fed. Suckers, redhorse and
carp should be kept out, also pickerel,
which are water wolves. A close watch
will have to be kept on predatory
minks. We have never known of
case where fish culture In this manner
was made a commercial success, but as
pleasing pastime and to furnish a
supply of fish Ter home use it can be
done where, the conditions named ex.-
