AT CAMP ROOSEVELT.
Fifteen Hundred Men Pitch Tents and
Prepare for Field Duties.

The first day at Camp Roosevelt al
Wahpeton was devoted mainly to the
pitching of tents and to the general
hustle incident on settling 1.500 men.
1t was just daylight when the first com
panies entered the gates, after a two
and one-half mile march from the rail
road. The adjutant general had pre-
pared a lunch of ham sandwiches and
good old army coffee.
Immediately after the pitching of
tents was ordered and for several
hours the work was in progress. There
were two companies of the Second
regiment, H and |, and four of the
Third, E, H, B and F, not on the spe-
cial trains, but these arrived late in
the afternoon and by sunset all of the
guards were in readiness for the real
work Of the camp.
Col. r. w. Stewart Of Pierre, acting
brigadier general at Camp Roosevelt,
arrived late in the afternoon and inn
mediately assumed command. Lieut..
Col. C. II. Englesby of WATERFOWL. of
the Third regiment, was also absent
the first dav, reaching his headquarters
in the evening.
Col. j. M. Greene OF Chamberlain is
the ranking officer Of the Third, but
he delegates all active work to his lieu
tenant colonel. He will be in camp
several DAYS. Maj. McDougall, Repub-
lican candidate for lieutenant govern
or. arrived in the evening and took
charoo of his battalion.
The cavalry headquarters were com
plete early in the day. Maj. Carpenter
of Watertown, commander, had the
troopers tented in a few hours and his
picket lines out. The cavalry consists
of Troop A of Evarts, Capt. Thomas
Orr; Troop B of Pierre, Capt. j. Lo
gan; Troop c Of Watertown, Capt. f
E. Munger. Troop B is the ranking
troop, Troop A having been but re
Gently organized. The cavalry troops
average fifty men, a larger percentage
than the infantry.
The artillery is represented by one
battery. Capt. Coler Campbell is II
command of A at Huron.
Col. Stewart called the officers t(
headquarters in the evening n IN
formed them that the program OF camp
duty would begin in the morning. Inc

PRISONER GETS THE DROP.
Grabs Captor's Weapon and Makes
Officer Aid Him in Escape.

George Powers, a ranchman living in
the interior of the great cattle ranges
between the Missouri river and the
Black Hills, had a remarkable and
thrilling experience while temporarily
acting as an officer of the law and in
charge of a prisoner with Harry Ira
cey characteristics.
Powers was appointed by a justice
to take Herb Hill, a desperate charac-
ter, to the county Jail at Oacoma.
Many miles of rough country had to
be traversed. The prisoner was a
husky fellow, and carefully watched an
opportunity to escape. This oppor-
tunity presented itself when the two
men were within two miles of the
Stoop ranch. Powers, never dreaming
of danger, placed his left hand in his
hip pocket for the purpose of getting a
plug of chewing tobacco. Slight as the
opportunity was. the prisoner prompt
ly took advantage Of it by throwing his
arms around his custodian. Powers
was overpowered and Hill succeeded
in securing possession Of the officers
six-shooter. Pointing the gun at Pow
9rs' head, Hill ordered him to get up,
turn the team around and take anoth-
er road leading across the country in a
northwest direction. the county seat
being in the eastward. The two men
lrOve steadily the remainder Of the day
and the whole OF the following night.
At daylight they reached Hills home,
where Hill saddled a horse and rode
away, leaving Powers with an exhaust
ed team and not another to be pro-
cured within twenty miles. Hill has
not been seen since and undoubtedly
has made his way out of the country.

Tells Weird Tale.

Fond du Lac. Wis, June ga mar
about thirty years Of age fshed him
self out of the Fond du Lac river in
this city yesterday and afterward told
a weird story Of being kidnapped in
Chicago and taken on board a freight
train.
He says he remembers after he was
taken on the train nothing until he
awoke to find himself in the river.
Then he managed to get to the shore
and sought for a place where he could
dry his clothes. He succeeded in
borrowing so cents and t~elegraphing
to Chicago friends to send him money
to pay his fare home. The man said
his name was Joseph Krosek, and that
his home is in Chicago. His mother,
who kept a boarding house on Sew
enteenth street in that city, was muir
dered by one Of her boarders last week
in a fit of anger about the dinner, and
the son was one of the principal wit.
nesses against him. He believes that
it was friends of the murderer who
threw him into the river, hoping that
he would drown SO that his evidence
could not be given on the trial.

Extensive improvements to the Stokes
Mill at WATERFOWL.

The brick and stone construction
work at the big mill of the W. II.
Stokes Milling company at WATERFOWL
is about completed. The company has
erected a cleaning between the
elevator and the mill three stories high
and of sufficient floor area to contain
all the machinery used in cleaning the
grain. and also to serve the purpose or
bins for storage purposes. The one
story addition on the south SIDE is
nearing completion, and when finished
will be used to house milling machln
cry.
The mill has been shut down for sew
eral months. The old engines have
been taken out and new ones Of 800
horse power are on the way. The ca
pacity of the rolls is to be more than
doubled. Twenty millwrights have ar
rived from the East to place the ma
chinery. w. II. Stokes, president. has
lust returned from a trip to Buffalo
and New York. where he has made ar
rangements for the sale of the increas-
ed product of the mills, which will be
by far the largest of any mill in South
Dakota. Watartown is proud of the
fact that its -four is sold in all the
principal cities of Europe.

MINING PLANS ARE BIG.
In Black Hills Many New Cyanide
Plants Are Projected for This Sum-

mer.
The Horseshoe company's output il
now close to $50, 1000 a month. This
capacity, and as DON as some minor
improvements are made in the mill the
output will be doubled, making over
81, 100000 a year output. There are
eight cyanide plants operating on ore
in this fiat formation which make an
output of s225,000 monthly. This fiat
formation overlies the vertical and
cover the majority of the mining prop
critics in Lawrence county. The Home
stake mine is in the vertical formation
and the ore is hOisted through shafts.
This summer plans have been made
for not less than half a dozen new
cyanide plants. The Gilt Edge-Maid, a
Minneapolis corporation, has the foun-
dation laid for a plant east of Dead
wood. and the Reliance company, also
a Minnesota capital, will build a 300
ton plant at its mine on Annie creek.
Great improvements are being made in
h present cyanide process sc that be
fore winter it will be possible to save
possibly 10 per cent of the gold
values. At the present time the aver
age value saved is about 50 per cent.
A few of the mills are getting IS and
ST per cent extraction. One plant in
Deadwood is working out a method. it
is said, which will save as high as 95
per cent of the gold and Is to 80 per
cent Of the silver. 1t will require a
change of the mill arrangements some
what, so thai the mills in the future
will cost less money and it will be
possible to operate them for a great
deal less than the present method.
The big Homestake company at
Lead has long since recognized the
great saving possibilities of the eva
hide process and has installed two
mammoth cyanide plants in which to
treat TIE tailings from the ore Both
of these mills are being enlarged to
double the capacity, SO that they will
be able to treat about 5000 tons of
tailings every day. There is hardly an
acre of ground in the Black Hills that
does not carry ore running from So to
% a. ton. oNliS " Inc SlCoI pooolbii
tiles of the cyanide process in the next
few years Eastern capital will become
interested. using this process. Already
this summer several large London cor
.porations have sent representatives to
the Hills, and at least three deals of
large size have been set going. In the
next six months it is expected that not
less than $4,000. 900 will be invested in
mines which will bring to a consumma
ton the deals now pending.

SCHOOL ENDOWMENT FUND.
Annual Distribution at Pierre Heavier
Than Last Year.

The state land department has just
apportioned the June collections of the
endowment funds to the various state
institutions. The amount SEN out is
considerably greater than it was for
the corresponding date in 1903, and so
far for the year is largely in excess OF
last year The amount to the various
institutions is: State university, ST.
376; agricultural college, $2,429; deaf
and dumb sshool. s516; reform school,
$3.50: Madison normal, $489; Spearfish
normal, $3.50; Springfield normal, 1889,
Northern normal, S697; school Of
mines, 1904; blind asylum, 1899; north
ern hospital. for insane. $3.50.
The wool growers are beginning to
come In with heavy shipments now
that the price has been pushed up to
30 cents a pound. This is about 3 cents
above the average for last year, and
higher than was paid at all last season.
There is a good profit in wool growing,
and this will no doubt stimulate the
business all over the state.
