Two Good Propositions Though Worked

HOT SPRINGS, SD.-The Yellow Bird
and Benedict mines are among the best
propositions in the Rockford mining dis

1t is a free milling concentrating prOpo-
sition, and a plant should pay from the
time it began to treat the ore. The vein,
where exposed by workings on the sur
face, is a large one, and depth has not
apparently diminished it. The Yellow
Bird has been worked extensively in form
er years and ore milled from its1as paid
a good profit. A crosscut has been
started from the bottom of the shaft and

its values average all the way down about

has a shaft down a depth of about 200
feet, part of it having been sunk by
former owners. From the bottom of the
shaft a crosscut has been started, which

The work on the group owned by the
company is being done under the super

Work is going on steadily and rapidly
at the Ida Florence. The old shaft is
timbered forty-five feet and the gallows
frame is being raised. A new cage and
cable have been ordered.

to the prison he learned, 1t is stated, that
a large part Of the cigars made by the
convicts under contract were distributed
throughout the state. He communicated

! communicate with the thirty different
| uions in Michigan, asking their support
in fight against the further manufacture
of the Marquett prison cigars. This sup
port has been readily given.
In the meantime. it is stated, Dihle
wrote to the prison board. It's answer
was not considered favorable and now
Dihle, with the support of all the unions
| in the state. will fight the board by start
ing a suit for injunction. About 100 con-
victs are employed in the prison shop

Yankton convened court in special session
at Fairfax. the county seat, for the pur-
pose of hearing the contest case of John
Ellerman, republican candidate for
treasurer, against John w. Babb, the
democratic candidate. The contestant
asserted that the vote in the three pre-
cincts on the reservation which gave a
democratic majority was illegal for the
reason that the registration laws were not
complied with in any particular. The
court ordered judgment for the contest
ant. The case of Babb VS.. Ellerman was
then called, the contestant alleging that
the vote in Bentz precinct, which gave a
republican majority, was illegal for the
reason that the election board failed to
comply with the registration laws. The
court held that registration laws were
cimplied with so far as the statutory pro-
visions were concerned, and that the mis-
takes made were not fatal so far as the
law was concerned. Judgment was
ordered for the contestee, thus giving FL
herman the office. A notice of appeal was
served. ~
