Advantages Of
Rapid city.

(Staf correspondent to the Argus .Leader.)
Rapid City, Aug. 20.-The Black
Hills region affords peculiar oppor-
tunities for the study of geology. To
the scientist it presents innumerable
subjects of absorbing interest, while
at every turn 1T gives fervent pro-
mice to him who seeks for mineral
wealth. Separated from the Rocky
mountains to the west and south
west by a distance less than one
hundred and fifty miles, the region
possesses many of the features Of
that great uplift. BY reason of it's
isolated position,it its simple structur-
al features, and the many excellent t
rock exposures the geological history
may be interpreted with a consider
able degree of ease.
The Hills proper are situated on
the boundary line between South
Dakota and Wyoming, much larg-
er portion being within South Dako-
ia. Two main branches of the
Cheyenne river, namely, the Belle
Fourche and the South Fork, almost
completely encircle the Hills and
wholly isolate them from other sys-
TENS of drainage. These encircling
arms send radiating streams toward
the more elevated portion of the up
lift, q high western limestone plateau
being the main divide. It is of i'm
portance that although the Black
Hills are surrounded by a semi-arid
plain, the Hills themselves consid
erab!e degree of rainfall, and many
of the streams within the more ele-
waited portions flow without inter
mittance.
The Hills region is an elliptical
outwardly dipping uplift, the more
distinct features of which cover an
area about one hundred miles long
and fifty miles wide, the longer axis
approximately coinciding with the

mining facilities are in many ways
unsurpassed. Gold, found through
out the region but obtained mainly
from the northern Hills, is pre-emi-
nently the chief mineral product, q
total OF approximately one hundred
ten million dollars having been OBJ
tained during the past twenty-seven
years. Silver has been of impor-
tance in the annual output, while
other ores and minerals ALREADY
productive, or capable of production,
add much to the variety of the min
ing interests and not little to the
mineral wealth of the region.

ACTION BEFORE CRISIS b.

Washington. Dec. 26.-The situation
in the far east has caused the officials
OF the state department TO renew their
efforts to secure for the United States
from China and Korea certain neces-
sary trade advantages as embodied in
the Chinese commercial treaty and in
Minister Aliens demands upon the
Korean government, before the crisis
becomes more acute. Il is realized that
should hC6tilities break OUT between
Russia and Japan. the resulting peace
treaty probably would leave the United
states and other neutral nations en-
tireiy outside Of the pale Of advantage
IN Korea and Manchuria, no matter
which way the side Of victory turned.
Therefore, the state department IS
bringing pressure 20 bear upon the
Chinese court to insure the speedy rati-
cation of the treaty and as other ma
lions have Indirectly been given to UNI
derstand i'm this negotiation. it is hoped
that final ratification of the treaty may
be exchanged in Washington within
three months at the outside. This will
result in the opening to the United
states Of the trade Of the ports of An
Tung and MOukden, in Manchuria.

JAPAN EXERTS
HER AUTHORITY

to Korea.
RUSSIA WILL NOT OBJECT
ACTION IS EXPECTED TO RE
WYE WAR RUMoRs.

Paris, Dec 2G.-It was learned IN
authoritative quarters today that ia
pan is about to send large military
force to Korea for the purpose Of re-
storing and maintaining order at the
disturbed ports. The departure of this
force is imminent. It win probably
consist Of division Of 1900 men.
Japan has been assured that Russia
VIII not regard the sending Of troops
to Korea to be an unfriendly act or a
casus belii. 1t is anticipated that the
departure Of the troops VIII revive the
war rumors. which. however. it is
pointed out in the authoritative quar-
tiers. win be unJustihed, in view OF
RUssia's acquiescencc.
During che recent exchanges OF COM
municetion between Russia and Japan
the former fully recognized the need OF
the presence Of q strong military au-
thOrity in Korea and conceded that
Japan was in the best position TO
promptly send troops TO the disturbed
points.
The sending Of the troops. neverthe-
less. is construed as having an import
ant bearing on the present negOtia-
tions, as il viii be the first conspicu-
Gus evidence Of Japan's actual exercise
Of paramount authority over Korea. 1t
~ TURNER sdlQ tndL the preparations
for this expedition were the cause Of
the recent great activity at the Japan
csc ansenals and dock yards, which, IL
is asserted, has been enormously as
cribed to preparations against Russia.
Information hes also been received
here that Foreign Minister LamedOrf
has personally received Japan's reply
and that in view OF its terms he is said
to have expressed surprise at the re-
ports Of Japan's belligerente attitude.
This, it il added, is regarded as clearly
showing the amicable spirit I'm which
the negotiations are proceeding.

decrease compared with the senli-an-
nual payments in July last which were
$1S6, 900, the highest on record.
Interest payments by railroads would
have shown a much heavier increase

general effort to make payments on
