"A MOUNTAIN OF GOLD ORE
Gen. S. E. Olson, Back From "The
Hills" Tells of Reliance Com
pany's Property There.

Were going to strip the top off Bald
Mountain and then we are going show
the mining world something about quarry
ing gold ore," said General s. E. Olson at
his seat in his Walton block offices this
morning surrounded by photographs and
blue prints illustrative Of the Bald Noun
tain district III the Black Hills.
General Olson, who, since his retirement
from the dry goods and general merchan-
dizing business three years ago, has been
turning his attention to mining, has just
returned from two weeks In the Black
Hills country, more than enthusiastic
about that region.
Becoming interested in the Black Hills
almost by accident General Olson is now
at the head of the Reliance Gold Mining
company, which Is capitalized at IS, 000, 00O
and has taken over 613 acres OF gold
mining property between Deadwood and
Custer. ....-.. .,
"A few years ago it didn't pay to handle
any gold ore from the Bald Mountain dis
trict which paid less than ST a ton. We
have opened up nine old tunnels into the
side of the mountain and have found that
the whole top of the mountain Is a solid
bed of fat or blanket ore which can be
mined by simply stripping off the surface
and quarrying it out" General Olson ex-
planned.
I'm the center of the territory controlled
the mill will stand at the mouth Of a tun-
mel out of which $4,000 In gold was taker
In the old days. Everything below 81
ore was thrown away at the mouth Of this
tunnel, and, as by improved processes We
can mine and treat ore for about 81 a to1
we will have a small fortune in falling
awaiting as a starter.
LAS soon as l decide whether to use the
| Chilean or the old time stamp process
will enter into a contract for mill which
will handle 300 tons of ore a day. The Bur
lington and Elkhorn railroads will be com
pleted onto our property by the time tn
mill Is built and as we have plenty o
water there will be nothing to delay us.
1.-THE Black Hills country has never beef
properly exploited until within the last few
years, but it will surprise a great man!
mining men. before Its resources are ex
hausted. We did a little surprising our
selves when we discovered a solid noun
| tain Of ore" .-

RAILROADS.
The |. c. c. SAYS not
Commission Holds That Rates From
Cannon Falls Are Not
Unjust.
Relief Was Sought in Connection
With Charges on Chicago
Shipments.

The state organization Of municipalities,
with headquarters at Cannon Falls, has
had something of a setback in the turn
ing down by the Interstate commerce
commission of an applicat ton in the mat
ter OF rates which it was backing. Rail
road men believe that the matter was
pushed rather as an advertisement than
because justice was inherent in its de-
mands
The interstate commerce commission
has denied the application of the Cannon
Falls Elevator company for a readjust-
apolis and Chicago and Cannon Falls and
Chicago. The complaint charged discrim-
nation on the part of both the Great
Western and the Milwaukee roads.
It was charged that in contravention of
the interstate commerce law these roads
exacted a rate of 10 cents hundred
| pounds on small grain from Cannon Falls
| to Chicago and Milwaukee while making
| a rate of IN cents from Minneapolis to
| these points, 40 miles farther from Min
neapolis than from Cannon Falls. The
complainant company stated that it was
4 q, large buyer Of rye at Cannon Falls, and
| that with a parity of rates 1t could mar
| ket it's grain at Louisville, KY, but that
with existing rates it was unable to COM
pete with Minneapolis shippers.
| Under the present tariff, the rate from
Cannon Falls is Is cents and the rate tc
| Minneapolis Z cents, so that by reshipping
at Minneapolis the grain takes one-hal1
| cent less, but this discrepancy applied
| only to shipments east of Chicago so the
relief was denied.

THE ROAD TO Ruin
Thousands Innocently Dragged Down
Every Year.

Many drunkards' graves are filled
through a cause little understood or ap-
preciated. 1t is very common for man
or woman to have a slight attack Of In
digestion, which is neglected and soon
develops into chronic dyspepsia. Then
something must be done to alleviate the
pangs and the victims resort to various
''bitters'' and other decoctions strong in
alcohol which are very stimulating. All
stNmulants must have reaction and con-
stantly increasing doses are necessary.
Soon the moral sense becomes hardened
and liquors are drunk to excess. That
Is the beginning Of the end. If dyspep-
tics and those suffering from any form Of
stomach trouble will take Chase's Dys-
pepsia Cure they will be saved for long,
happy and useful lives.
This uneaualed remedy is prepared In
liquid form (non-alcoholic), Is easy to
take, and the first dose gives positive
relief in all cases of indigestion, sour
stomach, dizziness, heartburn, distress
after eating, sick headache and all COM
plants derived from disordered stom-
ach. Mr.. James A. Bolton of 326 Clear
mont avenue, Brooklyn, N Y, states his
case as follows:
II hereby do gladly testify that a
single tablespoonful Of your Dyspepsia
Cure which was given me by friend
irnm ediately relieved the distress from
which had suffered for almost month
without intermission: 1t was a daily com
plant. Since I have purchased a bottle
and taken dose after meals, the indi.
gestion has entirely disappeared, fol
which am truly thankful to YOU"

CLINE And MORALS
Former Not to Blame for Deteriora
ton in the Latter in
Philippines.
DR.. Don F. Fitz Gerald Declares the
Theory Groundless His
Observations.

That moral deterioration is caused by
the Philippine climate is a new theory in
which DR.. Don F. Fitz Gerald of this city,
formerly an acting surgeon at Manila, has
little confidence. DIR. Fitzgerald, brother
of DR.. R. ]. Fitz Gerald, surgeon of the
Thirteenth Minnesota volunteers, was first
lieutenant of B company, same regiment,
and was for some time In charge Of the
military hospital for convalesents at Ma
Mia.
DR.. Don Fitz Gerald had read the sug
gestion Of the Manila Times, reported by
way Of Washington, that tropical eli
mate has a tendency to weaken the moral
fibre, making men Indifferent to the con-
sequences of criminal acts; and that this
assumption accounts for the fact that
military and civil officers, guilty Of Pc
culat ions in the. Philippines. have taken SO
little precaution to conceal their misdotng
or to escape punishment.
"1t's not the climate commented DR..
F1tz Gerald, "altho it's due, I think, to
other features Of environment. The cli-
mate doesn't even injure your health out
there, If you take any reasonable care of
yourself, and are satised with a moderate
use Of liquor. During the whole year that
our company was working and lighting In
Luzon we didn't have more than a dozen
cases of serious illness. This in spite OF
the fact that we spent months in active
| campaigning, and the further fact that
Manila, when we first lived there, was hor-
ribly filthy and unwholesome I didn't
notice that our company showed the
slightest failing of in discipline or effec-
tiveness alter years service.
But did observe that some soldiers
in our army, men with weak character and
bad instincts no doubt, committed outrages
that they wouldn't have thought Of at
tempting here. I knew of fellows that
would enter the house Of native, Level
guns at his head, and demand all the
| money and jewelry that the family had
And other soldiers or officers would sci
army stores to natives and charge the
goods up as used for the public service.
"These offenders simply thought tina
they were defrauding ignorant foreigner:

the desire Of army lieutenants on small
salaries to keep up the pace set by super

employed the year round so that the de-
mand from many stations in Minnesota

A Fire at the University Causes 8
Loss Of $4,000 to Medical
Building.

: !
The barn Of Regan Brothers, Seventh
avenue N and Sixth street was nearly de-.
stroyed by fire last night; thirteen horses
were burned to death, eleven wagons were
destroyed and 10000 loayes of bread were
spoiled by heat and water. The damage
is estimated at $4,000, fully covered by
insurance.
The fire broke out in the basket-room
probably from crossed electric wires, and
was well under way when it was discov-
cred. One Of the stablemen turned in an
alarm and others began to battle with the
flames. When the firemen arrived id
ditional apparatus was called for
Seventeen horses were in the barn and
only four were saved. The others became
unrnanage able, the fire soon reached them
and the barn men were compelled to leave
them. sfes&8 q
| The barn was a frame structure covered
with corrugated iron. Lines were carried
thru the bakery proper and after an hour s
hard fight the fire was under control.
