DR.. Spafford Of Flandreau, Ivan Good
ner OF Pierre, r. N. Slocum Of Herried,
Judge Burt sof Huron. and Secretary
Aldrich of Big Stone, concluded their
session in Madison. 1t had been ex-
pected that the normal building would
be ready for final inspection at this
time and acceptance by the board. but
as two weeks yet will be required 10
complete all details. a committee con-
sisting of President Beadle, Secretary
Girton and superintendent Lewis was
appointed to notify the regents waen
all the provisions of the contract haze
been carried out. The greatest delay
is experienced In the construction OF
the heating plant. The regents spent
considerable time. with their biennial

RICH ORE IN BINGHAM TUNNEL.

Specimens OF Free Gold ore Taken
From Hidden Fortune Mine.
Some very high grade ore has been
discovered in the Bingham tunnel on
the Hidden Fortune property north of
Lead. Specimens of free gold have
been taken out that will equal the
rich strike made by Otto P. TIL. Grantz
on the top of the hill four years ago.
This Bingham vein runs through the
property in northerly and southerly
direction, paralleling some of the big
Homestake veins. The company is
taking twenty tons day from this big
vein down to its mill below Deadwood
and about fifty tons from the surface
workings on the south end of the prop
erty, making tonnage of seventy tons
daily. AS soon as the Bingham vein
Is opened farther the tonnage will be
doubled. Remarkable success is being
attained in the company's cyanide
plant, where improvements have been
made by Freeman Steels, the chemist
in charge. The company had a diff
cult problem to solve in the saving of
the free gold. The ore in the fiat
measures carries considerable woIfra.
mite, and this is now being saved at
the mill.
1t is believed that the Spearflsh com.
pany has encountered a second contact
of ore in its Ragged Top ground. Il
this be true it is remarkable discoy.
cry, since it has been generally sup
posed that the lime formation Of Rag
ged Top has but the upper contact. A
shaft has been sunk which has encoun
tered a blanket OF ore forty feet In
| thickness. This will give the Spear
fish company a vast amount of low
grade ore. The grade in the new shoot
is equal to that found in the upper con
tact. The Spearfish mill is treating
300 tons of ore daily and the compan,
is paying dividend Of about 6 pei
cent per annum on the capital stock.

Indian school at .Flandreau have two
white elephants on their hands IN
the persons of John Johnson and

On one occasion they had walked the
greater part of the distance to the
Rosebud reservation, when they were
caught and returned to the Indian

meat from the diet of the working man
and you lessen his capacity to ac-
compllsh labor; take it from the pro-
fessional man and you diminish his
efficiency to think. The meat eating
nations are the civilized. 1t is the
fuel OF progress and is Indispensable
World Wide Market.
The manufacturer has through in
vention and facilities for transporta-
ton made the American trade mark
the synonym of perfection. The pion-
GERS ventured into this great western
pasture, gathered together the wild
animals of the forest and prairie and
through untiring efforts in breeding
and feeding made product so palat-
able and rich that it created for itself
world wide market. But that profit,
the stimulant which has made meat
producing attain to such projections,
is in some way absorbed between the
producer and consumer. Instead of
meeting at county fairs in friendly
rivalry with our farm products we
meet in protest of the encroachment
by those gigantic institutions upon our
rights. Control breeds corruption.
Those pioneer principles of competi-
ton have vanished.
Not overproduction.
"They tell us that the decreased
price is caused by over production.
Does it appeal to you that there is an
over L,oIuction of a commodity that is
entirely consumed and the price to the
consumer not lessened? We can not
conceive, unless it be through antici-
pated over supply, why our hogs will
depreciate 50 per hundred in two
months and the finished product re-
main practically the same to the con-
sumner. They say it is due to the in
creased price of labor that the cost to
the consumer is not reduced, but has
not invention dispensed with labor as
it has advanced in price? Does it cost
more to produce a barrel of pork than
formerly? Does it cost more to haul
car of stock to market than in the
past? We pay more. How can you
conceive ofNan arrangement whereby
freight can be transported from Mis-
souri, river points, three hundred miles
farther from Chicago, cheaper than
from Ottumwa? 1t does not prove
that Omaha freight is handled at a
loss but that we pay too much.
Conditions Unbeatable.
"These conditions have become I'M
bearable. We have the same condi-
tons in nature to contend with that
we always had. 1t takes as many
pounds of grain and roughage to pro
duce pound of meat as before. We
do not harbor in our hearts any i'll
will toward any man in any business.
We have not incorporated into our by
laws any unjust principles that would
place our common rights in jeopardy
before the public as a selfish motive.
1t is not our purpose to exact unjust
demands for / challenge the longevity
of any institution among free people
that has in it's policy any oppressive
principle. We demand a more equita.
BILE distribution of profits between the
producer, manufacturer and consumer
If we cannot. secure these concessions
through reasonable intercedings o.
our representative members we must
do so by the enactment and enforce
ment of state and federal laws
