1.-THE HIDDEN FORTUNE,
J. j. Steele Is Not Pressing 1.-THE
Stock in m

T. J. Steele, formerly general man
ager of the Hidden Fortune company,
has just returned to Deadwood from
Belle Fourche. He learned of the talk
about his putting the company into the
hands of a receiver for the first time
here. Steele has nothing but the best
of feeling for the company.
While the note or S2S, 900 is past
due by a few days, he has the prom
Use Of Secretary H. J. Mayham hat it
will be paid in full by the 10th. The
comply is doing all it can to get the
mill below this city in shape for
steady operation. A mistake was
made in its construction by the Den
yer concern which built the plant, but
1t is not SO serious but that it can be
fixed up. There was more free gold
in the ore than expected, hence a
change in the method of treatment. A
large force of men is at work on the
improvements.
Black Hills people ale wondering
why Hidden Fortune stock is selling
so low. Every person out here with
money to invest is picking up this
stock. 1t will some day be as it was
with Homestake stock twenty years
ago., when it was being kicked around
the streets for almost nothing. There
are millions Of tons of millable ore in
the Hidden Fortune mine and there
will be no difficulty in treating it when
the mill is finished the second time.
Black Hills mining men are looking
for a great raising of stock prices very
soon. 1t is believed that bedrock has
been reached. The Horseshoe COM
pany is operating its 500-ton cyanide
plant at Terry so that returns Will
soon be forthcoming from that source.
This stock has also been down very
low.
In an interview Mr.. Steele stated
that he intended to do all he could
do to help the Hidden Fortune COM
pany through. While he wants the
note paid as soon as possible, he does
not intend to do anything hat will
work harm against the other stock
holders. He firmly believes that the
Hidden Fortune company will soon be
. dividend payer.

CORN DOING WELL,
VIII Need From Two to Three Weeks

Inc following is the weekly crop re.
port or the South Dakota section of the
government weather bureau:
The weather during the week was
cool and mostly cloudy, with frequent
showers, which retarded stacking.

the harvesting of a little wheat and
oats yet to be cut in the extreme
northern counties, and also in portions
OF the Black Hills region.
stacking of small grains is, as a rule.
well advanced, but considerable vet re.
mains unstacked, and there are re-
ports OF injury to some wheat and oats
by sprouting in the shock from por-
tlons OF the upper Sioux and James
river valleys.
On the whole, threshing is backward
ana the shocks are in damp condition.
Corn is generally in good condition,
out the cool and cloudy weather and
rains retarded the maturing of the
crop, which is very uneven in point of
advancement, the nearest to maturity
pelng IN the middle and upper Mis-
souri, and upper James river valleys.
Where early varieties are principally
grown; however, reports indicate that
the ulh OF the early planted will prob
ably need from two to three weeks,
and the late planted three to four
weeks, of favorable weather to place
1t beyond danger of injury by frost.
Some OF the latest in the southeastern
counties is very backward and may re-
qulre immunity from heavy frost un-
I'll after October LIST. Some of the
earliest planted is now glazing in a
number of counties.
Early flax cutting and the maturing
or the late sOwn progressed slowly.
The crop, however, continues promis-
ing.
Millet has done very well; consider
able of the late sown is very heavy.
There is increased report from some
localities Of potatoes rotting, or MAX

MANY HOMESTEAD FILINGS.
Much Government Land Taken Out Of
the Market,

The land Office record at Pierre for
the month of August shows 1T home
stead filings and 81 declaratories. This
mean that over $4,000 acres more of
government land west of the river was
taken out Of the market in August,
with a total of 23S filings of all kinds.
Besides the filings, q cash entries, 8
final homestead proofs and l timber
culture proof were made, granting
final title to settlers of 1000 acres of
land. Seven new contests were filed
in the month.

wolf bounty claims which were pro-
vided for by the last legislature. The
claims are being paid as fast as the
Office can get to them in the rush Of
assessment work, but much more of
the delay is o~ccasioned by the form
in which the claims are presented,
many of them coming in as assigned
claims, with the assignment in such
vague form that there is a question as
to just who should receive the money.
The report of business of the office
of secretary of state for the month of
August, under the new fee law, shows
fees collected to the amount Of ST.
29O.15, as against S1,610.45 under the
old law for the same month last year.
The average filing fee for corporations
this year is $3.50. N~inety-four char
tiers were granted to domestic corpora
tons last month, with a total COM
bined capital Of s55,941 100, while for
August last year 126 such corporations
secured charters, with a total capital
of over 5000, GOO, 900. Besides the Co.
nestle corporations, last month three
banks secured charters, with a total
capital Of $50, 900, and two religious
institutions were chartered. Twenty
six notaries were commissioned.

AGE NOT REDUCED
Consent Remains at Sixteen Years In
South Dakota.

Exceptions have been taken to the
statement sent from Pierre to the eff
feet that the code commission reduced
the age Of consent from sixteen to
fourteen years. The exception is well
taken, SO far as it refers to the COM
mission, as they made no such change.
The statement was founded on what
the new code showed after it was
printed, and corrections had been
made which were in error in the ad-
vance work which was first printed.
The change, instead Of being on the
part of the commission, was a failure
on the part of the printers IN making
a change which was noted. After the
statement sent from this city the mat
ter was investigated and the error dis
covered and corrected by the printers
at a heavy expense to themselves be-
fore any Of the completed codes had
left the city.

Pulled Gun From the Wagon by tho
MuzzIe,

The first accident of the hunting sea-
son was reported from Mount Vernon.
Clarence Pine and a party of friends
had been out hunting prairie chickens
all day, and on returning to town in
the evening Pine climbed out of the
buoy and pulled his gun out of the
vehicle by the muzzle. The gun went
off and a portion of the charge went
into his right elbow, tearing away the
bone and making a frightful wound.
The physicians cut out the elbow joint
and placed the bones together with a
possibility of their knitting together.
1t may be that Pine will lose his arm
eventually.
Horace Shepherd, who was standing
twenty-five feet away, was struck in
the breast and stomach by some of the
shot. Eighteen or twenty shot were
picked from his flesh, and two were
lattened against his breast bone.
