SCHOOL OF MINES
Attendance at Rapid City Now
Is Larger Than Ever
Before.
MILL. AT CANTON
In Extensive Grain Firm, Operating
Through Several Counties, Makes a
Proposition to Business Club
of Canton for Plant.

Rapid City, S. D., Feb. 24.-The en-
rollment at the state school of mines
here this year reaches 40. OF this
number about half are taking the
studies of the full mining curse, while
of the remainder u large part are TAX
ing the preparatory curse, intending
to enter pom the mining curse later.
There Will be a class OF four in the
full mining course who will graduate
June l as mining engineers. OF the
four only is of South Dakota, Ar
thur Hall, whose home is at Rapid
City. The others are: Samuel Arentz.
Chicago. ILL.,: Elmore West, Omaha,
Neb., and Guy Walcott, keneSaW, Neb.
1t has been three years since a class
in mining engineering has graduated
from the school. For a number OF
years after the creation of this school
it was not in Il position to confer the
full curse in mining, owing to lack
of appropriation and absence Of the
necessary equipment. 1t is in a much
better condition now, and the gradual
ing class is expected TO increase in
size from year to year.
The preparatory course at this school
corresponds to the ordinary high
school course and cover q period of
foul years. The full mining course al
. looi ~
course is also carried at this school.
and a number of local young men and
women avail themselves of it.
A large number OF young men who
have taken special courses in mining,
chemistry, aSsaying and kindred
branches, but who have not finished
the complete mining course, are hold
ing positions OF Importance and great
responsibility with various mining
companies, not only in South Dakota
but other mining states, and even in
foreign countries. Exceptional oppor-
tunities are offered by this school in
practical field work and in actual min
ing. Frequent excursions are made
into the adjacent regions for studies
Of geology, and occasional trips are
taken to the mines in various parts
of the country, for the study and ex-
animation Of mining and milling meth
DDS. During the summer vacation
months many of the students are en-
ployed at mining in the capacity OF
laborers.
A young japanese student, Seisa SUI
zuki, entered the school this year fol
the full mining course, but was un-
able to finish owing to h sudder
death of his parents at Osaka, Japan
His father was a wealthy Japanese
lnd owned gold mines in Korea.

FIGHT ON ROSEBUD BILL.
South Dakota Delegation Thinks let
.ters of ObiectionfA Are Misleading.

- ~
Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Gam
bic of South Dakota, who has charge of
the Rosebud reservation bill, said today
that he felt confident OF its passage
although the hostility of the Indian
Rights association to the bill might
bring about q closer fight than he had
anticipated. The Indian Rights associ-
alton has filed a memorial against the
proposed sale of 416, 900 acres of land
in Gregory county on the ground that
the price fixed in the bill for the land
is wholly inadequate and that the In
dams will suffer great injustice If the
bill be passed. The memorial, which
was presented to congress by Senator
Cockrell, contains a number of letters
from dealers in real estate adjacent to
the lands to be opened. These letters,
the South Dakota delegation state, are
wholly misleading. 1t is understood
that George KEENAN,, the well known
Russian writer, who takes an interest
in Indian rights, is also fighting the bill
because of the inadequate price. Those
who are acquainted with the situation
in the senate, Notwithstanding the OPP
position whia9nhas been shown against
the Rosebug bill, believe the house bill.
or so-called Burke bill. will be passed
next week., the death of Senator Hanna
having stopped all legislation for the
time.
The death Of Senator Hanna makes
a vacancy in the craftsmanship Of in
teroceanic canals committee. It was
thought today that Senator Kittredge
of South Dakota, who was Senator
Hanna's right-hand man on the COM
mittee, would in all probability sue
coed to the craftsmanship, although he
was fourth from the ranking member,
thomas C. Plat Of New York.

lington hotel, Washington, with 800 In

longing to Mrs. Payne and other members

during the excitement attendant upon the
funeral OF Senator Hanna. Mrs. French
was traced to this city, and when brought
to police headquarters acknowledged her
guilt, saying:
II am guilty, and am willing TO take the
consequences. The fact Is, l needed the
money" She surrendered to the police

The fact is brought out by the Edu-
cational Review that over IS 900, 900
persons are enrolled in the Sunday
schools Of his country. In the public
schools the enrolment Is of nearly
lie, 1000, geo, OF only 5000, 900 more. The
accusation that the religious educa-
ton Of children is neglected in Amer
lea. with the consequence of inevitable
moral degeneration in our society, as
alleged by the Rev. Mr.. Geer, is not
sustained by these statistics. More at
tention seems to be given to the re-
ligious training Of children in this
country, by churches and in school
n by home instruction, than in n
