/. Swanville, Mimi. Dec 22.-Y Yesterday
brought new impetus to the gold dis
covery excitement here. when Aberham
johnson, a neighbor to the farmer who
first made the discovery, exhibited two
separate assay reports on rock taken from
his farm among the hills, and both re-
ports show exactly the same result--that
the rock contains 16 cents worth of gold
to the ounce of ore and also copper in
large quantities..
This is considered here as conclusive
evidence that those barren hills contain
gold in large paying quantities, and the
wise are already buying up available land
in the vicinity. The report Of a sale of
$50 acres to Bustnua business men, in
Guiding the bankers of that village came
yesterday, and several other persons are
negotiating for options on land in the
|neighborhood.
The range of hills in which the discovery
was made is extensive, originating in the
Lake Beauty neighborhood, northwest of
this town, and extending. around to the
west and south. beyond Pine Lake. Old
settlers WHO. haXe1 hunted and trapped
over thenl; for years, IN have always con-
tended theys contained valuable mineral
deposits, but until the recent accidental
discovery of gold, no one has taken the
trouble, to investigate.
III appearance the hill district, as it is
| called, presents a. suggestion Of minerals
and mines, being a chain of rock-covered
barren hills, totally unfit for agricultural
purposes, and ! covered with a sparse
| growth of stunted timber, and practically
unsettled. The land is mostly owned by
eastern men, who purchased it years age
for speculative purposes.
| Several .tpersons who: have been pros
! pecting in the Pine Lake neighborhood
have discovered strong indications Of cop
per ore, as well as gold, and one farmer
uncovered large specimen of almost pure
| copper, weighing several pounds. thus
showing that these long neglected hills
may contain other valuable mineral de-
posits than gold.

SHOOTING OF LEWIS
Wife and Alleged Paramour Suspected
Theory of the State.

SPEARFISH, S. D.-Nathan Gardner, charged
with the shooting OF II. II. Lewis two weeks ago,
was hound over to the next term Of circuit court,
his bond being fixed at 81, 900. This he has been
unable to produce and is in jail.
The evidence against Ga rdner is purely of
circumstanttsl nature. the main circumstance
being the tracks at the scene of the shooting
which tailed closely with the shoes Gardner hac
on when arrested.
Lewis, who was shot, testified to the circum-
stance Of the shooting. He was walking up the
Burlington railroad track carrying parcel
under his left arm. At a point near the w w
Bradley place he detected a rustling noise in the
bushes at one side Of the track. He turned in
that direction and at that instant there was
the crack Of gun and he felt stunning blow
In his left arm. 1t Is believed that the fact of
his turning when he did scved him from receiving
| the shot thru his heart.
Those who visited the scene found where the
won!d-be ASSASSIN had been stationed in the
pushes some forty feet from where Lewis stood.
The tracks were plain and when Lewis Informed
the officer that he was suspicious Of Gardner the
latter was arrested and his shoes removed for
ths e. purpose of comparison with the tracks:
The theory Is Il that Gardner and Lewis wife
mad cdispired to take Lewis life that they
might obtain the insurance he carried. 1t is
alleged that intimacy has existed between
Gardner and Lewis wife and according to the
testimony given by Lewis at the hearing in
Spearlsh he has been for some time aware Of It,

actively engage in every kind of busi-
ness that seems likely to bring, profit.
But this is when the citizen Of Pana-

The only thing that seems to enjoy

There is no specific for
consumption. The nearest
approach to a cure is right
living and SCOTS Emulsion.
No matter what the treat
ment may be SCOTS Emul-
sion will prove a valuable
addition. 1t has often turned
the scale of health the right
way. Because SCOTS Emul-
sion contains the pure cod
liver oil it furnishes heat and
fat. The hypophosphites pro
vide tissue-food, blood-food
and marrow-food. The com
bination Of the two represents
a wonderful form of nourish-
ment and one that can be
readily taken and retained at
any stage of the disease.
SCOTS Emulsion gives best
results when used most reg
ularly. Made a part Of the
consumptive's regular diet it
will invariably afford relief.
Occasional use of Scott's
Emulsion is a test unfair to
the Emulsion and the patient.
