Deadwood has Changed.

During our last trip to the northern
Hills. We had occasion to observe q very
notable change ii one respect from for
mer years. It wss the lack of the old
time prospectors who used to swarm the
streets Of Deadwood and gave to the
main thoroughfare life and animation
which unhappily seems almost to have
ceased. Upon inquiry we were told that
the reason for this was the fact that the
most Of them who made prospecting an
avocation had sold out their holdings to
the large companies who had bought up
the ground in such large tracts, that the
country was virtually captured and own
ed, and the ptospectors occupation was
gone. The old grizzly fellows have be-
taken themselves to newer fields, or have
settled down in the cities or In their
childhood home to enjoy their money
and wait for the grim messenger to come
who will take them over the range. And
many, alas how many, have already
folded their tents and struck the trail
which leads to the better land. The old
town does not seem 50 gay as in the old.
en- time. great brick blocks now marx
the place where once stood the miners
cabin and today the streets echo
to the tread of but few of those to the
manor born, but strangers from every
quarter OF the globe. The city grows
and the country fourishes, but most OF
those who laid the foundation Of Its
greatness, who blazed the trails and
made the roads have passed, or are ra.
pidly passing away. We rejoice in the
upbuilding and in the prosperity of the
city, but we feel in the core of our spirit
the truth, that we miss the handshake
and the friendly greeting Of the old time
boys.

The Next Scholastic Year Win 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 q building, q
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, a laboratory for geology and deter
minative mineralogy, q physical labora-
tory. two mechanical drawing rooms
and blueprint room.
The School of Mines has made great
a lyances 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.
s. 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.

Al. o. Havemeyer of New York on
behalf of the American Sugar Refining
company, has offered q cup valued at
$500 for the best exhibit of sugar beets
raised in arid or semi arid regions"
The above we quote from one Of our ex-
changes and it strikes us that onr farm
ers might try the experiment with the
assurance that their is nothing lost by
the effort. 1t is our opinion that the
small rich valleys of the Black Hills fur
nish the ground par excellence for the
growth OF the sugar beet. We think it
was about fifteen years ago that Mr.. j..
N. Wright on his ranch above town
made some experiments raising sugar
beets and although not at all familiar
with the business, yet he succeeded in
raising sugar beets which gave very
high percentage in saccharine. AS We
understand it, the ground most favor
able for the sugar beat is that possessing
the richest soil, and q climate which
will give to the beet the largest share of
sunshine and it is this that gives them
their extra sweetness. We have the
richest soil that is found anywhere, with
a record of 332 days of sunshine out Of

The Moonah,ners Tried.

In the U. s. court held in Deadwood
we quote from the Pioneer-Times the
following: George Coy and William
TUFTS tried under an indictment for vio-
lations of the revenue law. Their attor-
ney was Thomas Z. Harvey Of Lead.
These are two of tho men who we're in
dicted at the present term of court. They
With John Strickland, had been arrested
by deputy rnarshals near Edgemont.
Strickland had asked severance which
had been granted by thecourt. Coy and
Tufts permitted their cases to 60 to trial
together. They had been indicted on
nine separate points, but three Of these
were stricken out and they were tried on
the remaining six. Their cases went TO
the jury shortly amer Ave O'Clock for ar
gumenf.
The jury came In about nine o'clock
with two verdicts. Coy was found guilty
and Tufts not guilty. Coy was imme-
diately sentenced by Judge Garland to
two years "a the penitentiary, at Sioux
Falls and to pay a fine of $1,000. Joe
Black Pipe, the Indian was sentenced to
a year and one day in the penitentiary.
He had been convicted Friday Of selling
liquor to Indians. On motion Of J. D.
Elliott, United States district attorney,
the case against John Strickland, indict-
ed with Coy and Tufts for moonshining,
was dismissed. He and TUFTS were ac-
cordingly both given thsir liberty.
The jurors engaged in the Coy Tufts
case were discharged from further at
tendance. Court adjourned until Mon
day morning.

for this reason there have been several
methods devised for the economical re-
duction OF different ores. Some have
been found to be amenable to the free
milling or amalgamation process, and
others yield their values to chlorination,
still others are more cheaply treated by
cyanide. In addition to these we have

Now how many of our old miners OF
even the new companies which have
been orgai lied TO work the ores of our
district know exactly what process their
particular ore requires, to be made to
yield its values at the least cost. OF
course these tests may cost money and
not many Of our prospectors can spare
the means to have their ores tested by
all these methods. But some of them

that of the many mills which have been

Died..

In Rapid City, Sunday morning, Sep
tember 8, 1908, Margaret Ann, beloved
wife of Patrick B. Mccarthy, of stomach
and heart trouble, aged forty-six years,
and nineteen days.
Sunday morning when it was known
that Mrs. Mccarthy was dead the people
of Rapid City were stricken dumb with
sorrow, and for time could scarcely ex-
press even sympathy. While intimately
known to but few, she had acquaintance
with many, and none ever knew or
spoke aught against her.
Margaret Ann Horgan was born to Mr..
and Mrs. J. P. Horgan, Sr., in Washing
ton, Iowa. About twenty years ago the
family moved to the Hills and settled
near Custer. Seventeen years ago the
coming October she was married to Pat
rick B. Mccarthy, and she has resided
here eyer since. To them have been
born three children, Grover, Mary and
Katie who are now left without tender
mothers care. Besides her husband
and children she leaves four brothers
and one sister. They are jeremiah,
Joseph. John and Charles Horgan, and
Mrs. Catherine Alice Mcclure, wife Of
NJ. Mcclure. Mrs. Mccarthy had been
seriously i'll only q few days and her
death came 80 suddenly at the last that
she had no conversation whatever with
the members of her family.
Mrs. Mccarthy was q dutiful daughter
loving wife and helpmeet, a tender and
sensible mother, and sister upon whom
they all leaned. Words fail when 1t
comes to particularizing-she was q true
christian woman, and her crown was
awaiting her. Though unostentatious in
manner and nome lover, she did many
good works that Wa: follow her for all
time.
II the train is on time the funeral
cortege will start from the home at ten
o'clock this forenoon, 60 to the Catholic
church where High Mass will be said,

South Dakota claims to produce more
wealth every year in proportion to pop
ulation, than any other state in the
Union. The figures for the other states
are not at hand, but we do know that
South Dakota's farms, ranges, gardens,
mines and quarries will have yielded
nearly $139,oO0.000 worth of products at
the close of this year and the total popu-
lation IS about 100000. This is per
capita production OF $3l1. and if there
are 100000 people anywhere else can

The Mineral Exhibit.

Mr.. Joseph Pitcher who has been in
Deadwood for several days arranging the
Custer mineral exhibit on the Sth. Mr..
Pitcher says We have a nice exhibit and
he has arranged the display to the best
Of his ability, and it attracts the interest
Of mining men from all over the United
States. Quite misfortune happened to
the old mineral exhibit, which had been
kept In large basement room and dur
ing the food which occurred in Dead
wood some two weeks ago it was covered
by muddy water. The samples will all
be washed and again put in place and ii
is not likely that they will become dis
arranged and mixed up to any great exi
tent. Mr.. John Carlton who has had
charge of these ores and kept them con-
stantly on exhibition for. the last two
years, has become very familiar with all
the samples, and says he knows every
piece and just where it belongs.
The mineral exhibit in the Hearst Ii
brary building in Lead is said by those
who have examined it to be very ex-
cellent display Of the ores Of the Hills.
or course the most prominent ores in the
display is the Homestake and this ia
proper and right. But as this is to be a
permanent exhibit, and the owners have
invited the mine owners from sll over
the Hills to send their ores for exhibit
ton, our mine owner should take ad'
vantage Of the opportunity to perman-
emily ad Yertise their mineral.
Mr.. Pitcher went to see Harry Way
just before he returned home and says
he is resting quite comfortable and the
doctor said there was little more SEN
sation in his lower limbs. Harry de-
plores his enforced idleness and is not
reconciled to his misfortune. We DONE
blams him for feeling that way, We are
sorry for him, and we know he has the
sympathy Of this whole community.

Ore Treatment.

What is wanted just now is not so
much new strikes, and new discoveries
in mines or new and improved methods
of extracting the gold from refractory
ore. Perhaps it does not require any
new invention, but just more persist
ent investigation of the methods already
devised. In the southern Hills we know
that the progress Of our mine owners
would have been much greater if they
had spent little less for muscle and a
little more for knowledge. There has
been to much guess work, too much taxi
