Homesteads on School Sections.

III a recent decision by the Honorable
Commissioner Of the General Land Of
fee, in the case Of the State ofSouth Da
kota vs.. Hiram Ii. Ruby, whose applica-
tion to file on portion of school section
was rejected by the local Land Office Of
ficials on the protest of the state, upon
the ground that the grant to the state
was absolute, and that as against the ap-
plicant for homestead the title passed to
the state at the expiration Of 90 days
after the filing of the plat. An appeal
was taken from the decision and this
case thus became the subject ofthe deci-
sion. The decision is to the effect that
the provision for indemnity to the state
for lands taken by settlers in effect re-
served in the United States full power 10

ter of entry was merely matter be.

Late Trains.

Ever since the autumn months set in
the trains from the east have been from
two to six hours late on their arrival in
Custer. We learn from those who ira
vel the road often, that the railroad men
explain it to them in this way. The
traffic on the road this year is very
heavy, both for freight and passengers,
and the company have been obliged to
press into service old and half worn out
engines, anything that will pull a car

stockholders, even it is not so satisfac-
tory to the patrons of the road. The

will not last always, that they are hav-

per month and q special dividend of
twenty-five cents, making fifty cents q
share per month. The special dividend
was passed owing to the large expendi-
lures made by the company in bringing
water in from the Spearfish river, and
in constructing the Ellison hoist and the
large cyaniding plants at Lead and
Blacktail, and other costly improve
ments. Now that these expenditures
are being over come. it is expected that

THE MAYFLowER.
The Mayfower mine which has lain
idle for year, is now in fair way of
receiving attention which its merits de-
serve. A new company has been or
ganized and the first payment to the
owners, which came due on the lst of
the month was promptly paid. The
next and final payment will be due on
the lst of March next, and from the
character of the men who have the busi-
ness in charge we have no doubt that
the payment will be as prompt at the
last as at the first.
Mr.. A. ID. Westby, who had the deal in
hand, has been very active and persist
ent in getting the right kind of men to-
gether. He has been fortunate enough
to get the kind Of men who are in the
habit Of taking hold of things by the
shoulders, and they have the means 10
carry out any enterprise which they un-
dertake. We understand that it is the
purpose of the new company to sink a
new shaft on the large foot vein, about
100 feet east Of the present shaft and
connect the two shafts by drift at the
depth of 100 feet. This would insure
good ventilation in the mine at all times
and develope the property to such an
extent that they will have ore enough
in sight for the erection of good sized
plant. We understand that work will
be resumed on the mine in short time
with Mr.. Henry Pilger in charge. This
gentleman's experience in mining in the
Hills dates back to 1877, and as he is
perfectly familiar with the property
there is no doubt that the work will be
conducted in an efficient and successful
manner. We think the management
have perfect knowledge of the difficulty
which has beset our camp in the past
and by this We mean the unsuccessful
attempt to treat our ores by the free
milling process. We think they under
stand the importance of thorough test
ing by the different methods, and adopt
ing the one which is found to be the
very best to save the gold contained in
the ore. This we grieve to say has never
yet been done in the southern Hills, and
the day that it is done will mark the
commencement off glorious a..1 success
ful career for our mines and the pros.
perity of the district at large. We have
often made the comparison by saying
that we have been laboring hard to chop
wood with stone hammer, let US now
see what can be done with good sharp
axe.

are said to be in excellent condition. A

Mr.. John Bueter drove in from his
Caledonia mines last Wednesday and
dropped in to interview the editor. Mr..
Bueter has group of mines about eight
miles west from Custer upon which he
has been diligently at work for 10 these
many years, and the amount of ore in
sight and the character of ore is suffi-
cient to make it attractive to any one
who is seeking for an investment in a
gold mine. We have examined the prop
