rules for the sale of inherited In
dian lands, SO as to require the pro-
ceeds to be derived from the sale
shall be placed with the most con-
venient United States depository to
the credit of each heir in proper pro-
portion. Heretofore lands have been
sold to the highest bidder and the
proceeds paid directly to the In
dians, with the result in many in-
stances that the Indians soon were
divested of their money

Enlarged Homestead Bill

When the members of the South
Dakota delegation introduce in con-
gress next winter bill to enlarge
homesteads on the ceded Sioux lands
from a quarter to whole section.
they may expect to encounter oppo-
sition. But it is to be hoped that
they will be able to push the meas
ure to q successful issue, for it
means much for the future of that
state.
The original homestead act limited
homestead entries to one hundred
aud sixty acres, because it was felt
that the man who titled quarter
section rightly could make an ample
living, and it was desired that as
many homeseekers as possible
should be accommodated with land.
But the situation in the ceded Sioux
lands is perculiar. For the presen t
and for some time to come this por
tion of the state is likely to be q
stock and cattle country, and one
cannot raise stock successfully on a
quarter section. He needs more
land for grazing purposes. If the
homestead law is amended, the re-
suit would be to greatly stimulate
the settlement OF the Sioux lands,
with the result that the cultivation
Of the lands, and the planting OF the
trees will increase the rainfall, and
thus develop the agricultural value
of the lands in question. The bill
would not be in the interest OF the
cattle kings, but OF the small pro-
ducer, and as such ought to com
mend much support.

Gold Mining In Korea.

Old workings indicate that gold
was produced in Korea before for
eigners from the western nations
were admitted into the country.
Until the advent of the American
miners, less than ten years ago, the
mining methods continued to be
the most primitive character, such
as were probably employed thous-
ands of years ago The greater
number of the gold veins and placer
beds are situated in the northern
part of the Korean peninsula. The
land rises from the sea to heights of
three and four thousand feet, and is
deeply channeled by water courses.
These have made precipitous hills
and broad, fiat river beds. On the
hills there is usually fair quantity
of pine, oak and maple, the trees
affording good fire wood and timber
of ordinary dimensions. Large mill
timbers are brought from abroad
Previous to the coming of foreign
miners into the country, the ore
from the veins was extracted to very
limited depths by the use of a crude
CAD and hammar: the ore obtained
was crushed under rocking stones
and the metal panned from the re-
sulting sand. No attempt was made
to save the gold when intimately as
socated with base minerals.
The placer mines are in the mod
ern river beds. They are worked by
the most simple methods of extava-
tion and the gold is obtained by pan
ming the richer portions of the de-
posits. The dredging system is
sometimes followed, the dredge be-
ing wooden bucket attached to q
well sweep arm which is operated by
man ual labor.
Korea will be gold producer ot
Importance for many years. Wen
mining on large scale is only start
ing, and che placer deposits, which
are very extensive, are likely to
yield largely when they are attacked
oy modern dredging methods. There
are copper deposits rich enough to
be worked by the natives in the
northern part Of the territory. Coal
Of an inferior quality is found both
on the west and east coasts.
At present there is German, an
English aud an American company
at work upon mining concession

Oriental Consolidated, being the
only one that has reached produc-

The Democrats Convene.

No person present at the Democratic
convention in this city last Wednesday
can truthfully say the democrats are
seeking county offices this year. They
might be persuaded to accept a few Of
fees If there was any chance of secur-
ing them. but a person would never
know it to Judge of their actions in
their convention. The office, or rather
the nomination. was seeking the man
and the man in most cases was dOdg-
ing it as he would brick.
P. B. Mccarthy was chosen tempo
rary chairman and Atty. Bangs tenn
porary secretary. After a credential
committee had reported the most i'm
portant matter presented to the con-
vention came up in the shape of a res
olution which was handed in the con
vention for its adoption by some disap-
pointment, soreheaded republican, 1t
was OF nature calculated to iniure
the republican ticket and was so false,
foolish and childish it is not worthy
repeating. The convention. however,
came within hairs breahth of adopt-
Ing 1t as part OF its proceedings and
would have done so but for the timely
and altogether sensible objections of
Delegate Buck. Mr.. Buck declared
with much promises, that their con !.
VeLtlon was quite able to form their
own resolutions and further that they
were not in the petty spite business
and would not sLoop to go on record as
sanctioning any personal dirty work.
His good sense and eloquence brought
the convention to a realizing sense of
the folly of the thing and the document
| was laid on the table.
Nominations for state senator we're
then declared in order by the chair who
establised Il precedent of nominating a
candidate before the permanent orga-
nization had been effected. After this
had been done nominating was re
sumed until the sherif's office was
reached when hitch occurred be-
cause no second could be secured for
one OF the nominations. The chair
decided second to nomination was
not necessary anyway, aud SO the
roundup of ill-fated candidates pro-
gressed. Somebody had an Inspiration
pretty soon and suggested suspension
OF the rules and nomination by accala
nation. AS thare were not many
rules in force it was an easy matter to

Black Wool.

Black wool is apparently the re
suit Of a freak of nature, 1t can
grow on any breed Of sheep and is
neither finer nor coaser than the
white wool grown on the same breed.
The stuff grades as fine black, me-
dium black and coarse black with
apparently no difference in its pro-
pertles as compared with white wool
except the matter of color. 1t is
justa strong and spins as well but
on account of its color is not dyed,
being used in its natural state, ex-
cept for the washing and securing in
the manufacture Of what is called
natural underwear. Some knitters
use large quantities of it and by
mixing the black with the white
greyish effect is produced which is
observable in many lines Of under
wear on the market, no dyeing
whatever beng done to the stock.
Some sheep also grow grey wool,
the result perhaps OF a cross be-
tween a black eve and a white ram,
although there is no rule to deter-
mine this as a white lamb may be
born oftparents both Of which are
white. a whole flock may be white
and only one Of the lambs produced
may be, black. In some case out oi
a flock forty or fifty blacks may be
found while in others no black ones
will be found.
