TIN IN THE HILLS.

The machinery has commenced to
arrive for the large concentrating
plant which is to be erected by the
linton Tin company at linton, in the
Bear gulch district. This is the com.
pany that is opening vein of tin bear.
ing ore that is over 100 feet in width.
The company is financed by Chicago
and other Eastern capitalists and it
now appears there will be no question
whatever about the Black Hills being
on the market with tin in the course
of the next twelve months.
The linton company treated 200
tons of ore in Deadwood and, IL is
stated, received an average of per
cent tin to the ton. This would be bet
ter than most of the gold-bearing
mines of the Black Hills. The COM
pany is working on conservative lines
and is not saying much about its
plans, but enough is known to show
that it means business, and excellent
results arc anticipated

RUSH OF LAND BUYERS.
South oakota's Good Crop Is Attract
ina Thousands to the State.

The Aberdeen hotels are filled most
of the time with land buyers from
Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin, and 1T is
freely predicted by those in touch with
the situation that the influx of new
settlers will be larger the next year
than ever before.
The fine crops raised in South Da-
kota the present season, particularly
the corn prospect, have drawn special
attention to this state, and the fact
that the cheap lands are producing
more net revenue than the higher
priced land further east and south is
having an effect that has been looked
for by only a few, comparatively
speaking.
Last week saw larger numbers of
people coming to buy than any week
of the season. One train from Mason
City, Iowa, contained nine coaches
loaded with travellers headed for South
Dakota. 1t is freely predicted that
the next ninety days will see more
prospectors in the state than within
the same length of time in it's history.

the transportation lines. This portion
Of the grounds is broken and uneven,
cut up with deep ravines and hills, all
thickly covered with a splendid old
oak forest. The South Dakota hulld-
ing will be within ten rods of the open
air mining exhibit, which will show
in actual operation a mine burrowed
into a side hill along the ravine, and
the various processes of reducing the
ore to bullion. Around the corner will
be the Colorado building. South Da-
kotas site is at the forking OF three
roads, a particularly fine location, near
a main gate.
Seven thousand dollars will he spent
in the construction Of building, aud
three architects are now preparing
plans, 1t is planned to commence con-
struction in the early winter months,

CORN is BACKWARD.
Growth Has Been Retarded by Cool

The following is the weekly crop re-

newhat retarded harvesting, stack
ing, threshing and haying, but benefit
ed grass, corn and fax, except that it
is too wet for healthy growth of corn
on some southeastern lowlands.
Wheat and oat harvest is practically
completed except in some northern
counties, where, however, IL is now
fast nearing completion. There has
been some shock threshing done, CIV
ing indication that wheat yields will
be variable, but with mostly good quail
ity'of berry, except in some southeast
ern localities. There is still consider
able complaint of smut in wheat in
some northern fields. The yield of
small grains will likely be better than
anticipated in some of the northern
counties that were affected by drouth
in June.
Corn continues in thrifty condition,
but is backward, and normal growth
las been retarded by cool weather.
Much of the early planted corn is in
the roasting-ear stage, and the crop is
as a rule well cared and promises
good returns If frost holds off long
