The Golden Reward Closed Down.


The Deadwood press announces that
the Golden Reward has closed down
mine, mill and smelter, except those
mines which will damage by filling with
water. The reason assigned is the SIM
pie fact that Supt. Dunkwart discharged
a man on the charging floor of the smell
ter, and all the rest of the operatives at
the smelter quit until he was reinstated.
Mr.. Franklin, the president, as soon as
be was informed of the situation order
ed everything closed down, the men paid
Off and discharged. Mr.. Franklin does
not say at what time work will be re-
sumed, but as the institution has been a
very remuneratiye one, it is not likely
that it will remain closed down for any
great length of time. There was no
strike for more wages or shorter hours,
or any thing which should cause such a
wide spread catastrophe as the throwing
out Of employment 250 men. We can
not learn that the miners union ordered
the walk out, or had anything to do with
1t. 1t seems that men who haye worked
in one place steadily for great length
of time get restive at last and want a
change and are ready to gait on a very
slight proyocatiOn or no provocation at
all. While on the other hand men who
have become very rich get proud sensi-
tive and touchey and will not stand any
foolishness. We hope the trouble will
be adjusted and settled soon, work re-
sumed and everything 60 on smoothly.

Attention State Guards.

Captain w. A. Hazel, of Aberdeen
adjutant of the Second regiment, calls
attention to the fact that every member
of the South Dakota State Guard who
was enrolled when President Roosevelt
signed the new national guard act the
present week, will receive from the goy-
ernment a Krag Jorgensen rife with all
accouttements, the old Springfield with
which the guard is equipped being turn
ed back to the war department. The
new bill provides liberal appropriation
for clothing, and new rifles will be fur
nished for men enrolled in the guard
after this time. Another feature pro
videS for paying members of the guard
while in camp at the regular army rate.
This means that enlisted men will get at
the rate of $l3 per month, or about 40
cents day, for time while in camp, in
addition to the $3.50 day allowed by
the state.

Shooting at Lead.

Bill Dunlap was shot and killed at
Lead City by AL Turner on the evening
of the 4th. Turner was in the employ
of Dunlap and the shooting grew out of
the fact that Turner had sold goods and
got drunk on the proceeds and was
short when called to settle. A sheriff's
posse are after Turner with blood hounds
and he mas been traced as far as Galena
and will no doubt be caught. Both are
young men about 81 years old. The
assassin Turner is small man ard has
the appearance Of an Italian.
Later Turner has been shot and
captured at Alliance, Neb. He is not
dead but partly payalized. He will be
brought back to Lead City for trial
The dogs were on the wrong scent.
Turner made long run and fight
before he was captured, but they got
him, and he will probably find that the
way of the murderer is hard in the
Black Hills.

Farmers Wife Gets A Share.

Most farm papers are gotten up with
the idea that they are read only by the
man who runs the farm. Probably they
are, because there is nothing in most of
them to interest any one else, and very
often it is pretty dry reading for him.
There is one farm paper, however, that
is not built on this plan-The Twentieth
Century Farmer-whose editor has kept
the whole family in mind in getting up
the paper. There are two pages that
are given oyer to the things that inter
est the farmers wife and, and a page for
the young folks. Besides this, she al
ways reads the stories, Frank Carpen-
ter's letters of travel, the poultry depart
ment and some other departments.

THE ROOSEVELT NINE.
We were shown few days ago some
certificates of 12S assays from
ore taken from the workings of the
Roosevelt mime. We were rather aston
ished to find that the average of these
l2S tests yielded over $4,000 per ton in
gold. The concentrates are very rich
and run into the thousands, but the ex-
act yield we could not ascertain. The
name Of the new company which is un-
dergoing incorporation is the
Interstate Gold Mining and Milling
company. Their properly which con-
siSts of eight claims, each 600 by 1900
feet presents showing ngapparently equal
y as good as its rich neighbor consider
ing the meagre development it has thus
far received. We are assured that this
ground has fallen into good strong hands
and work on the property will be COM
menced in a few days and pushed with
Tigor. We expect to pay a visit to this
promising ground the coming week and
will have something more to say of it in
our next issue.
THE NORTH STAR.
1t is reported that the North Star.mine
will start their mill on the 10th of this
month. We hope this is not true, for
the reason that the North Star, although
rich mine and now well developed is
not prepared to resume milling with any
thing like fair promise of success with
the appliances which they have on the
ground. The North Star is not free
milling proposition and the sooner that
fact is understood, and process added
to the plant that is adequate to save the
gold in the rock, the better it will be for
the owners of the property and the repu-
tation and prosperity of the camp.
There haye been twelve stamp mills in
Custer county, erected upon twelve OF
the best prospecting mines in the coun.
ty, and every one has proven failure.
How many more lessons do we need.
These dismantled and abandoned mills
are standing still in our best and
richest mining districts. They are
monuments of folly, and it is time We
learned something by the things We
have suffered. The burnt child breads
the fire and learns to avoid it. The wild
wolf caught in a trap will not be caught
again in the same trap. 1t is only fiock
of sheep that follow each other over q
precipice and are dashed to pieces. But
then sheep know less than any other ami
NAL that roams the field.

We learn that at the cattle mems con-
vention at Kansas City, it was resolved
that in case the packing establishments
merge, and attempt to monopolize the
business, the cattlemen would refuse to
sell to them, but would erect and con-
duct their own packing houses. When
the big beef packers think they can die
tate prices arbitrarily to the cattle asso
citation, they will find that it is a condi-
tion which confronts them and not a
theory.
