Rules ON Cattle Dipping.

A message has been received by Con-
gresham Martin of Deadwood from Sec.
retary Wilson which will be of vast i'm
portance to the cattle men of South Oak
ota. The present order from the de-
partment making it necessary to dip all
cattle, either grass or corn fed, before
shipping them has raised huge cry OF
disapproval all oyer the state. Mr.. Mar
tin some time ago took the matter up
with Secretary Wilson, asking for a
modification of the order. A few days
ago he received the following message
Department regulations do not require
dipping unless cattle are diseased or
have been exposed. / am making an
order modifying these regulations to OK.
posed cattle, but not diseased animals, to
be shipped for slaughter without dipping
or placarding."
Cattlemen would have lost & great
deal OF money in the expense of dipping
unnecessarily cattle that had not been
exposed and were not diseased, that be-
ing the first order. 1t is now expected
that the order viii be so modified that
it will not be required to dip cattle that
are not diseased and have not been sx.
posed.

W off Bounty and Cattle Dipping.

The Western Custer County Live
Stock Protective Association met last
Saturday and elected officers for the en-.
suing year. They are A. Montgomery,
chairman w. r. Woods, secretary, and
7. Ii. Richardson, treasurer. Only
seventeen grey wolves were paid for by
the association during the past year
which shows that they are gradually
growing scarce. II was decided that it
is cheaper to pay good bounty this fall
and get the old wolves killed Off than to
have them eat on us all winter and then
pay only a moderate bounty for wolves
and pups. The bounty will be $50 for
each wolf and state and county bounty
and value of the pelt will make each
wolf worth $40 to the trapper.
The cattle dipping proposition that all
stock growers are up against, was dis
cussed and while we are assured that it
will more than pay, to even get rid OF
the lice If there is no mango, they could
select no place for building the plant
where it will be convenient for all the
members. A meeting was called for
today, Saturday, July 23d. at which time
further arrangements will be made and
probably the contract will be let for
building the plant.

Mining Items.

We are told that Sunbeam Mining
company, whose property is situated in
Friday gulch in Pennington county, will
resume work about the middle of Aug
ust.
1t is reported that the Black Eagle
company, whose property is situated
near Rockford, will start their new
Huntington mill some time next week.
The capacity of the mill is 30 tons day,
free milling. Their main shaft is down
rs feet, and the vein cross cut for dist
ance Of 35 feet without reaching the
hanging wall. The ore is reported to be
of good grade and the owners believe
that success is confidently assured.
There was party Of stockholders in
the Ideal Mining company arrived in
Custer last Monday, and in company
with Mr.. August Fisher. the superinten-

Non-Partisan Opinion.

The Sioux Falls Daily Press has been
entirely non-partisan in this capital cam
psign. 1t has said nothing that could
mark it as the particular champion of
either Pierre or Mitchell But in the
following editorial article it supplies a
most emphatic answer to the knocking
tactics of Mitchell regarding the devel-
opnent of the western portion of the
state. 1t shows that, in spite of the
conspicuous demand for lands on the
Rosebud reservation, probably double
as much land as that reservation com
prises has been homesteaded this season
on the ordinary public domain in the
section which Mitchell blasts and knocks
and dsmns as prairie dog, wolf bounty,
brand inspection, roundup, cowboy and
gumbo knob" country, The Press
says:
I'm special from the Press CORES.
pondent at Chamberlain are some fig.
ures showing the magnitude of the busi-
ness of the Chamberlain land office in
comparison with the results to be attain.
ed from the opening of the Rosebud
reservation. Most Of the Chamberlain
land office transactions relate to the
former Indian country west of the Miss
ouri, and it has shown that nearly half
a million acres of that land has been
homesteaded since the beginning of the
current year.
"The business Of the Pierre land office
keeps pace with that of the land Office at
Chamberlain, and it also deals largely in
former Indian land west of the Missouri
river.
"The figures demonstrate that popula-
tion has been creeping into the Sioux
country unannounced in much greater
numbers proportionately than can be
accommodated on the Rosebud tract.
THE rush for the Rosebud country
has been spectacular in its character,
and in couple Of weeks it has attracted
far more general attention than the six
months quiet occupation of the Indian
region to the northward, serving valu
able advertising purposes. 1t has fixed
the eyes of the migratory hosts upon
South Dakota.
Thousands of those disappointed in
their efforts to secure farms through the
lottery award to be made will become
possessed of an intention to occupy
South Dakota soil, and when they can
procure for nothing the same quality Of
land they now will have to buy at S4 per
acre, they will flock into the region
north of the Rosebud reservation and
there locate their homes"
The whole essence Of this capital cam
paign is the prospective development
of that section of the state to which the
Sioux Falls Press refers. The prospect.
i've development of the Rosebud reserv-
alton lands is generally regarded as
phenomenon, and still if every acre of it
should be homesteaded it would mean
only half as many settlers as have gone
into other parts OF the western portion
Of the state this year.
At such rate how long will it be beforo
Pierre is the most accessible point in
the state, being the geographical cent.
er?

Last week we stated that We did not

We haye since learned that we were in

men haye told us that they were pre-
viously favorably disposed towards Nit

for Mitchell would be an endorsement
OF the maligument OF a large portion OF
the State and consequently they will
vote for Pierre. If Mitchell was sagati.
ous enough to confine her efforts to an
attempt to prove that removal Of the
capital to Mitchell would benefit the
state while it would be undertaking an
impossibility, yet it would not provoke
hostility anywhere except the immedi-
ate locality of the present capital. But
the whole state is interested in the dew

commonwealth and wholesale denuncia-
