The Holy Terror.

A syndicate of Vermillion capital
lists has purchased the Holy Terror
and keystone gold mines in the
Black Hills, and will take possession
of them about November l. The
Holy Terror at one time was con-
sidered the best producing and most
valuable mining property in the
southern section OF the richest hun
dred square miles in this or several
other states. The ore is still there
in apparently inexhaustible quanti-
ties, only waiting the efforts of a
vigorous prcprietorship to dig and
develop it into pure bullion. The
gentlemen principally interested in
the formation of new company for
owning and developing these mines
are understood to consist of Messrs
A. r. Lee, Harvey Gunderson, M,
L. Fox, G. ]. Gunderson, and per-
haps others. AS soon as the new
owners get possession Of their prop
erty they will at once commence
lively operations. In past years the
Holy Terror mine has paid over
5000 900 in dividends. -Vermillion

may be that some of the European
plums will be worthy of cultivation

Queer Metal.

In the course of some experiments
concerning the effect of the emana-
tions from radium upon diamonds,
Sir William Crooks made curious
discovery. When a diamond was
placed in the path of the radiations
it was converted from the carbon
crystal into the common form of
graphite, while in addition it's color
was lutte changed. AS a result of
this strange metamorphosis Sir
William Crooks suggests that the
radium rays may prove of great
commercial value to the jeweler
since by this m cans diamonds which
are of an Indifferent and defective
color may be appreciably increased
in their commercial value by treat
ment under the radium rays. He
also observed that prolonged action
of the radium also increased the in
tensity OF the pale colored gems

Sheep Men Hopeful.

Senator Warren, Of Wyoming. a
lifelong cattle and sheep man, takes
a very hopeful view OF the future of
the sheep business. "Sheepmen are
in better condition today than in ten
years past, he said, We have had
our ups and downs, but prospects
now look bright. The present price
of wool is higher than that of pr. :
vious years, and l believe it is gong
higher. The general business OF the
country is prospering. There is no
surplus stock of wool on hand, be-
cause the old wool has been uu-
loaded or the market. and even the
wholesale and retail clothiag houses
have but normal stock on hand. so
that there is no surplus today N
this country. The markets have
become more nearly equalized, both
at home and abroad, and the wool

tries are normal, with few excep-

the mountain sides. These are al
ready under cultivation although 10
a much more limited extent than
they should be. The Black Hills
spruce is a form of the white spruce
(Picea alba) and under cultivation
in the northwest has been found SUI
perior to the eastern form of the
white spruce. The growth is too
slow for this tree to be desirable
other than as very choice orna-
mental tree. But the Black Hills
pine which botanists call the Pinus
ponderosa scopu!orum is OF a very
rapid growth and is probably the
best Of all cone-bearing trees for the
exposed prairies. 1t has been aptly
called the "Prince of pines for the
plains. A. Norby, of Madison,
South Dakota, has experimental ex-
tensively with this tree upon the
open prairie. For windbreaks moth
ing in tae evergreen family known
to the writer is equal to the Black
Hills pine for the northwest,
1t is passing strange that some of
the hardest and best native trees
such as the Black Hills pine and
Back Hills spruce are very difficult
to obtain in nurseries, while the
Scotch pine and Norway spruce
which are far inferior to them, can
be bought in any quantity. It sim
ply emphasizes the fact that in
Europe tree seeds are gathered in
quantity as a waste product by
women and children while in the
Black Hills no one has taken up the
business of gathering tree seeds.

supreme, the small settler with his

No I, in Lead, is nearly done and
will be IN service shortly. 1t has
been built on the northerly side Of
the old building, and the latter
has been heightened. 1t is ex-
pected that the duty of the plant
will be incre ased from one third to
one-half in its tonnage, but the
most important increase will be in
the added time in which to handle
the tailings, thereby making pos
sible greater percentage of ex-
traction. Heretofore the material
has been hurried through the mill
most too rapidly, that one charge
might get out of the way Of the
charge coming.
Cyanide plant No, at Black
tail, is running with a greatly in
creased tonnage. This increase is
due chiefly to the enlargement Of

of a number of improvements.

South Dakota's commercial am
billions have not blinded her to the
value and interests considered by
some of less material, but to the
minds of many not so large as those
pertaining to mental growth and
development. South Dakota has
gained worldwide reputation for
her educational facilities as we'll
as agricultural and commercial
pursuits. The schools occupy and
merit place in the public eye sell
dom accorded to them in any coun-
try. A keen interest is manifested
in whatever affects their welfare.
Residents of the state are not com.
PEELED to send their children east
to be educated. Excellent schools
in all branches of learning are
within few hours ride of the res
ident or homeseeker. The federal
government has wisely provided
for the public schools of South Da-
kota by setting aside 7,r5o,48o
acres of land which cannot be sold
for less than $40 per acre. TIL. Sc
lands are growing in value and at
present pr ces could be sold for
sum in the neighborhood Of $780,
900, 900. The interest on this
large sum alone would defray the
entire expenses of public and pri-
vate schools tof the State. The
item of school tax alone in some
States is quite an item of expense,
and homeseeker should not over
look these advantages offered when
selecting permanent home. The
government contributes $40, 900
yearly for the support Of the state
agricultural college, which is also
United States government exper-
iment station. Investigations and
experiments in the science of agri-
culture have been made here that
have attracted the attention of the
scientific world of modern farming.
This college will gladly furnish
homeseekers reliable information
in regard to successful farming,
dairying, stock raising and horti-
culture in South Dakota.
