I, is maintained by many distinguished

OF those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women OF our land
stand peerless ior beauty and the virtues that
make them lovahle, We cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debili.

Important Tax Decision.

A special from Armour says: "Prob-
ably no more important tax decision has
ever been made BY the supreme court of
this state than one just handed down
1t involves many people and means that
people who have purchased real estate
in this state in the past few years may
be obliged to pay the back personal tax
es of prior owners of the property. Two
years ago the treasurer of this county, to
clear his tax lists of back personal taxes,
advertised the real property Of the man
owing the taxes, whether the property
was still in his name or not. States at
torney Wanzer is in receipt of telegram
from the clerk of the supreme court at
Pierre, notifying him that the court af-
firmed the holdings of Judge Smith, of
this circuit. in the case of V. X. Harris
vs. w. f. Stearns, treasurer of Douglas
county. The question involved is as to
what constitutes clear tax receipt. In
this case Harris purchased quarter Sec
ton of land formerly owned by NJ. J.
Renshaw, and since 1899 has paid the
taxes on said land, receiving clear re-
ceipts in his own name. Two years ago
the county treasurer advertised the land
for sale for the personal taxes of Rem
shaw for the years from 1884 to 1889.
Mr.. Harris, with seventeen others who
were interested in similar cases, secured
an injunction restraining the treasurer
from selling the land for such taxes,
holding that he held clear tax receipt
under the statue and the treasurer could
not legally sell the property. The judge
of the circuit court held that the treas
urer could sell the land for the personal
taxes of Renshaw, though the land was
owned by Harris. In this decision the
supreme court sustains the lower court
and the taxes must be paid. Many real
estate dealers will be interested in this
ruling of the supreme court. Johnson
Bros, of this city are involved to the ex-
tent of 81 900 taxes they must pay under
this decision before they will have clear
title. 1t will also clear up thousands of
dollars of old taxes on the tax lists of
this and other counties"

In his annual report Mr.. Gregory says
the labor situation in the Black Hills
has been most satisfactory during the
past year, entire harmony existing with
the single exception of the incident at
the Golden Reward company's plant
when the smeter employees, feeling ag.
grieved over the discharge of a helper
on the charge floor, walked ont to man,
compelling the suspension of the plant.
Miners and mine laborers of the district
are well paid, the prevailing wages be-
ing $3.50 per day for miners, So for
shovelers, and from $3.50 to 81 per day
for mill and other laborers. In most in
stances ten hours constitute days work,
although there are cases where the work
is particularly trying or where extraor-
binary efforts are made TO accomplish
results THAT three shifts of eight hours
each are employed. Other elements of
success are considered, chief among these
being the Black Hills Mining Mems as
sociation, which Mr.. Gregory says has
during the year shown great influence
over the mining industry in the state.
He says: ut has been the agency that
has brought much attention to the Black
Hills as q mining field and has been the
means of interesting vast sums of eastern
capital in Black Hills properties An
other element of success mentioned is
the state School of Mines at Rapid City,
which Mr.. Gregory says is increasing its
efficiency from year to year. Young
men who have taken the mining course
at the school are now employed in near
ly all the mills in the Black Hills and in
several instances graduates of the school
are in charge of plants. They have
demonstrated their ability and are prov
ing the usefulness of the school.
New reduction plants have been COM
pleted and inaugurated during the year
as follows: Horseshoe, having a daily
tonnage capacity of 500; Hidden For
tune, 300; Penobscot, 200; Jupiter, l50 ;

For the Rel,ef Of Settlers.

Congressman Martin has introduced
the following bin for the relief of settlers
on forest reservations:
Be It enacted by the Senate and House
Of Representatives Of the United States
of America in congress assembled,
Sec. l. That the provisions and bene-
fits of an act entitled can act for the re-
lief of bona fide settlers in forest re.
serves, approved April 18th, 1902, are
hereby extended period of one year
from and after April 18th, 1904.
Sec. 2. That homesteaders upon agri-
cultural lands within the Black Hills
Forest Reserve in South Dakota at the
time ofthe approval of this act, whose
to September 18th, 1898, but who have
succeeded to the possession and improve
ments of former settlers whose settle
ments were made prior to said date, are
hereby permitted to make homestead
entry Of such lands, not to exceed one
hundred and sixty acres in each case, itf
the same manner and to the same effort
as though thtirs settlements had been
made prior to neptem Der 10th, 1898 and
settlers upon the agricultural lands with.
in the said Reserve, who have already
exercised or lost their homestead privi-
lege, but are otherwise competent to en-.
ter lands under the homestead laws Of
the United States, are hereby granted an
additional homestead privilege, Provid-
ed, however, that such settlers shall not
be allowed to commute their entries, but
shall be required to pay one dollar and
twenty-five cents per acre for their lands,
in addition to full compliance with all
other provisions of the homestead law.
In commenting on the bill the Pion-
eer-Times says, many of the Black Hills
homesteaders find it necessary to have
special surveys made in order to obtain
the lands they want. These surveys are
taking considerable time, and may not,
in some cases, be completed by next
April. There are also a large humber Of
settlers on the Black Hills Forest Re-
serve who settled after the establish
ment of the Reserve, September l9, 1898,
but Who purchased improvements of for
mer settlers and are occupying the same
lands. AS the law now stands they have
no fight to homestead entry as the
lands are part of the reserve. In some
instances such settlers have already had
no hom'estake right. It tseems, however,
for the best interests ofthe Reserve, and
also just to the settlers, that the present
occupants of purely agricultural lands
within the Reserve should be allowed to
obtain title to their lands. 1t is for the
purpose of affordfng relief to the various
classes of settlers referred to that Mr..
Martin prepared and introduced the bill.
This bill will apply only to strictly agri-
cultural lands within the boundaries Of
the Black Hills Forest Reserve and will
in no wise affect the status of or conflict
with mineral claims. Lands held under
this and former bills must be shown to
be moro valuable for agriculture than
for mineral or other purposes.

The Ivanhoe Mining company have
received their new steam hoist and it is
being installed. They are expecting
their boiler and air compressor daily and
will soon have their plant complete and
ready to run. Tie property is now fair
ly well developed with a shaft on the
Detroit vein l04 feet and another on the
Chilcoot of 200 feet. With their numer-
GUS drifts on the vein and cross cutting
to develope other ore bodies, they are
now ready to supply mill of fair capac-
ity with good ore.
The American Mining and Rare Min
erals company, is the name of a new Or
ganization which has been formed in
Salt Lake City, Utah. The purpose of
this company is to buy and treat the
rare minerals which are found in this
country which are becoming more and
more in demand. They want the rare
ores of vanadium, tellurium, tungsten,
platinum, molybdenum, uranium, etc.
Custer county and our prospectors should
learn not to give them the 60 by. Hith-
erto there has been no regular market
for these ores in the United States, and
this company should be able to build up
profitable business.

Mr.. Frank Mclaughlin, who lately re-
turned from the east informs us that he
went for the purpose of attending a
meeting of the Mile High Mining CON-
pany. He tells us that as the result OF
that meeting many changes were made
among which were change ofthe branch
Office of the company from Cedar Rapids

almost an entire change in the officers ol
the company, and they have now some
of the best ard most able men Financial.

These men, all except the Supt., are

fiourishing city. He says that since his
return he has paid up every cent of the
indebtedness of the company, and it is
the intention of the company to push the
development of the mine with all vigor.
We are glad to hear this as we know
that they own some of the most promis-
ing mining claims in the district.

State Mime Inspectors Report.

The annual report of Thomas Gregory,
state mine inspector for South Dakota,
has been submitted to Governor Herreid.
1t shows gold production of $780,
400.70 for the year ending December 8,
1908. as against $7,342, ,227.56 for the year
1902. The falling off is due to the clos
ing down of the Golden Reward smelter
at Deadwood in March. by walkout of
employees. Although the labor trouble
did not extend beyond the immediate
walkout, litigation has kept the smelter
closed ever since. The Golden Reward
is owned principally by E. H. Hartman,
Samuel w. Allerton and other New York
capitalists. There are eighteen produc-
ing mines in South Dakota and their
gold production for the year has been as
fnllowa.
