Edward Herbert Dahlheimer is in

De rather gauZy on the surface, but
which he insists has millions in it for
the men who will invest enough to
help him prove his statements. His
claim is hat in 1893 he was in the Bad
Lands and met two cowboys who were
about starved and assisted them. In
return they gave him several diamonds
which they had found and indicated
where there were lore. These dia.
monds, he says, were stolen from him,
and he has paid no attention to the
matter except to put in several years
studying the geology of the diamond
country OF South Africa. and the Bad
Lands of South Dakota, and he insists
the formation is practically the same.
He has asked the governor to take
up the matter on the part of the state,
the state to reap the benefits. He
says If this is not done he is ready to
go into the matter with any munich
pality or company or individual who
will advance the cash for him to prove
his theory.

BURG NOW A THRIVING METROPOLIS.
Interesting Scenes and Times Portrayed in Drawing
for Rich Rosebud Lands.

Several Biblical miracles have been
realized in the building Of Bonesteel.
Without too much literalness it may
be said that Bonesteel has arisen in a
single night and it was builded with
out sound of chisel or hammer.
A short time ago this tented city,
the beautiful Rosebud country, was a
struggling little town of 700 people.
To-day it has almost 10, 900 people, and
expects to be a city of GO, 900 In a short
time. Some people have greatness
thrust upon them. and this has been
the case of Mayor E. T.. Erb, who,
elected mayor of a little country town,
now finds himself the head of a thriv-
ing metropolis. The mayor is a busy
man.
Streets are being laid out and tent
ed buildings are going up all over the
townsite. Thin board buildings, which
pass under the euphonious titles of no.
tells, in places ARE being put up in
place of the tented structures. A
place to sleep is a luxury. A bunk in
any old place has to satisfy the most
tastilious.
On the Fourth rates for single hunks
were raised from so cents to 81 a
night.
Its what a man has to pay at the
best hotels In other localities" salts
f~actorily explains the Bonesteel hotel
proprietor.
1t Is a safe statement that almost
every other building is a gambling
house or a saloon. There probably
never was such an assembling of graft
ers and sports. They have come from
all over the country, from San Francis
co to New York, and are apparently
doing a good business. The places
never close, and the click of the rou-
lette ball and the whirr of the wheels,
the drone of the faro dealer and other
indications that a game is on can be
heard at ali hours of the day and
night.
The dance hall has followed the gam
bling hell, n all are in full blast.
Men are here who were present in the
palmy days of Deadwood, and also wit
messed the Genes that took place in
the old Covington days at Sioux City,
and they smilingly inform the ques-
toner that their place will have to go
way back and sit down."
And Notwithstanding all this, the
utmost order prevails. This is large
ly due to the fact that Jim" Nelson
is chief Of police. Chief Nelson had
charge Of the police department when
Covington ran riot, and he learned the
business there. He probably has the
largest personal knowledge of graft
ers, confidence men and gamblers of
any man in the West. He knows them
by their first names n they have to
be good. Chief Nelson has suggested
to a few that they would better leave
town Immediately, and they have
adopted the suggestion.
Chief Nelson is an autocrat, and
when he speaks the sports know they
had better be up and doing.
One murder has occurred here, and
that was the case of a notorious gam
bier, shot down in cold blood by a pc
lice officer. The officer is now under
indictment for murder without bond.
The shooting was co~ld-blooded, but the

things.
The preparations for the grand rush
here have been made under the olrec-
tons of George c. Hunt, inspector of
the general land office, and carried out
by the township trustees. Inspector
Hunt complimented the trustees. A
temporary fire department has been
installed and two water towers built.
An engine has been secured for the
protection of the mushroom city.
Bonesteel, the town of miracles, is
also the town Of monopolies. j. Pier
pont Morgan has been a little too busy
to come to the Rosebud, but some Of
his disciples have found their way
here. There are five men here who
have corralled the visible supply OF
their various articles and are becom-
ing SO rapidly wealthy they are already
beginning to lay plans to spend the
next summer at Newport.
The first and most important mOnOp-
oily at Bonesteel is the gambling mo-
nopoly. This is controlled by Tony
Stanton and Patsy Magner. Magner is
from Sioux City, Iowa, and Stanton
halls from Nebraska. They had evil
IDENTIFY taken lessons from the way
things are done in Chicago, and they
secured a concession from the council
without trouble. For this little privi-
lege they pay 500 a day.
This is a mere bagatelle, for Stan
ton and Wagner are making money SO
fast they really have no use for 1t.
They have an army Of employees, and
when any other gambler comes to
from Stanton and Magner before he
can do business.
Furniss Morton is another Bonesteel
monopolist. Morton was formerly a
Des Moines newspaper reporter, work
ing for $18 a week. Now he is busy
cutting off coupons. Last fall Morton
saw the handwriting on the wall and
laid in a supply of ice.
Swift & Co. thought they would try
to bust the monopoly. They ship
ped a car load of ice into Bonestel, but
were glad to sell it at Morton's own
price, and to Morton. The Bonesteel
ice millionaire really needed the ice
and felt grateful for this little atten-
ton.
George A. LETTERS, a former attorney
at Sioux City, Iowa, is a more esthetic
monopolist. His line is bathing, for
even at Bonesteel, where the great I'm
washed is gathering, bathing is a ne
cessity as well as a luxury. Mr.. jeff
ers controls the visible bathing sup
ply. Furthermore, Mr.. LETTERS refuses
to let negroes battle in his monopo-
listic possession. No negroes need
apply. They will have to remain un-
washed until the rush is over. Oak
Pari- and Sylvan lake are the names
of Mr.. LETTERS possessions. He has
concocted a lake out of a spring, and
has a beautiful piece of leased land.
1t is the only place for miles around.
He is arranging to put on a line Of at
fractions, and the first question now
asked by arrivals is, Where is Sylvan
lake,
1t may be mentioned that the name
is not a misnomer, for nymphs may be
discovered in Sylvan lake.

lowed out the Iowa idea" and now has
