the Cuba Libre and along through
that property, to the old workings Of
the Monument. This is understood to
be the plan for future development
and seems to be far the most feasible.

echoes have been heard for some
time.
Phillipsburg, the new camp below
Kingsburg on Poverty Creek, seems
to be the center of operations in this
section. The mill and cyanide plant
for the Minnehaha mines, are in
course of construction and quite a
number of men are employed there.
On the other hand the mining end of
operations, is going on I'm very des-
ultory fashin. The main shaft is
only down go feet, and levels are be-
ing run north and south at 81 feet,
This will leave but little stopping
ground to supply a mill of the capac-
ity of the one being erected.
An industry that seems to have
nourished in this section since first
prospected is mineral farming. Almost
every effort so far made, is trying to
get rich at grass roots. Probably
some of the richest ores mined in the
world, have been found in southern
New Mexico near the surface, yet lit
tie work is done. to ascertain wheth-
er these can be relied upon to form
bodies with depth. The surface poe
kets gone, mining stops notwithstand-
ing that geological and mineralogical
evidence is in favor of deep deposits.
1t seems as if the spirit of POGO
pervades the industry. The
slightest discouragement is sufficient
to stop operations. That many prop
critics closing down is due to misman-
agement and incompentency, is also
true. Building mills on waste dumps.
Or before development has proceeded
to insure their operation,
spending the money on the surface,
in place of finding something to de-
mand machinery, catches number of
victims that are only to be fleeced, by
get rich promises. This section has
had some of all kinds, but the mill
md smelter fiend has got in the finest
kind of work, to the detriment Of
mining as a business proposition, un-
ess catching suckers may be consid-
cred under that head.

This idea or keeping tramps and
drunks in Jail. and feeding them on
the fat of the land is too good treat
ment. Every offender ought TO be
made to either pay cash fine or work
on the street. II they will not work,
lay out a certain amount for them to
accomplish and attach ball and
chain to them. Then give them to
understand that they must do that
amount OF work before they can have
anything to eat. Allow them 81 25

have few offenders.

Brookings a Perfect City
of Comfortable Homes
BY w. w. Cooley

BY w. w. Cooley.

The following kind words, coming
as they do from an outsider who has
travelled from coast to coast and has
had an opportunity to see the best
cities, bears more than ord mary
weight and We trust will serve TO COM
pensate our readers in a measure for
the pains they are taking IN all city
affairs and the good work they have
done to keep them properly neat and
tidy. The clipping is taken from the
St. Paul Dispatch:
"W. w Cooley has just returned
after spending six days in Brookings,
S. d., devising a system of accounts
for the municipal management OF the
public service plants. BroOkings owns
its electric lighting system, its water
system and its telephone plant.
Municipal ownership appears to have
been great success in the South Da-
kota city. Mr.. Cooley, who has seen
most of the American cities of import
ance, declares that one might travel
from one END or the united SJdUes W
the other without seeing so perfect a
city. Its symmetrical development,
its broad streets and Towering lawns,
its uniformly comfortable homes, all
stamp the city as one likely to have a
strong future. There are no grand
and ostentatiOus houses on from t
streets, turning their backs upon dirty
and uncomfortable novels. The new
postoifice in process Of building is
handsome enough, as well as large and
commodiouS, but it is building for
the use Of the public, not for the
exclusive use of some president Of a
rich corporation.
"If attractive homes are any index
to the prosperity of a city, Brookings
Brookings weekly register. (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1898-1903, 1903-07-16
must be prosperous.

must Oe prosperous.
"Mr. Cooley believes that the little
city of $500 people represents the nat
ural result Of municipal ownership OF
| public works at its best. He addressed
the city council just before leaving
| Brookings on Monday evening. and
| the body Of men in whom the city
government is vested are remarkable
for their unity OF purpose and loyalty
/ TO the city's welfare. j. c. jenkins,
the mayor, aud +. O.. Davis the city
engineer, are keenly alive to the pos
sibilitieS for the city that lie IN The
ownership Of its public service plants,
The sum of $4,000 was appropriated
! Oh Monday evening TO pay for the tel
| ephone plant, of which the city has
been actually in possession for several
months. The lighting plant and
waterworks have belonged TO the city
for a mum Der Of years.
"Mr. Davis, city engineer, devotes
all his time to the work Of SCperln-
tending these plants and the admin
istratiOn Of all the works under the
control Of the city is said to be emf
nently satisfactory and the manage
ment most economical.
The system Of public accounts
established by Mr. Cooley is partly
original, though many of the features
are similar to those in use in St. Paul,
Red Wing and other Minnesota cities
| However, the city being Of moderate
size and three plants being owned
made it necessary to dovetail the
accounts, and at the same time to so
adjust the system that the city treas
urer is in the same relation to the
! other officials as the banker TO the cit.
! izen"

Can Have His Band Now.

Commander Thomas Reed Of Ar
lington will now have an opportunity
to head the South Dakota delegation
to the national encampment with a
band OF his own selection. Several
years ago while attending the rational
encampmert in an eastern state he
was obliged to march without music
and it is said that he swore a great
oath that if he was ever elected as
commander OF the state department
G. A. r. he would have band for the
South Dakota contingent if he had to
pay the expenses Of the luxury out OF
bis own pocket. California is a long
way of to take band to be paid from
one mans loose change, but if Com
mander Reed still wants some band
music OF his own he is able TO afford it
and the aggregation which he selects
will feel that it is being entertained
by king .-ArgusLea
