SOUTH DAKOTA EXHIBIT.
More About Black Hills Gold Industry
to Be Presented in Miniature.

to Be Presented in Miniature.
sioux Falls, S. D., Jan. 30.-Good
progress in the work of preparing the
South Dakota exhibit at the st. Louis
exposition is reported by S. w. Rus
Sell of Deadwood, chairman of the
state commission for the exposition,
who spent a day or two in Sioux Falls
while arranging for an exhibit of Sioux
Falls granite and marble. While in the
city Mr.. Russell furnished some inter-
esting information In reference to the,
South Dakota exhibit at St. Louis.
Among other things, he. states that the
gold industry of the Black Hills will be
represented by a mill. which will be
worked for a period of seven months,
an ore brought from the. Black Hills.
Then there will be large quanti-
lies of all kinds of ore found In the
Black Hills and many carefully ar
banged fine specimens. South Dakota's
mining industry will also have another
most valuable exhibit and advertise
tent.
The, executive committee of The eX-
position has selected a large ravine On
the grounds in which 1t is designed to
exhibit ell the various methods of min
ing and metal working to be found in
the world, from Wild Mexican native
forms to the highest developed modern
machinery. South Dakota has been Sc
1 lected to exhibit the type of gold mill
Of h latest pattern. The location is
the most conspicuous in the .ravine.
There We will erect a full mill, with
stamps, amalgamation and cyanide
processes, and shall work it for seven
months with ore brought from the
Black Hills. No other state is SO ia
vored And the agricultural exhibits
have been as thoroughly taken care of.
South Dakota will not be behind any
other state in her exhibit.

BODIES TAKEN FROM MINE
Victims of the Hartwick Coal Mine
Horror Were Killed by the
Exb,osion.

P%ittsburg, Jan. 29.-At s o'clock this
morning twenty-five charred and
blackened corpSes were lying at the
foot Of the i'll fated Harwick mine
shaft, ready to be hoisted to the sur
face, and further back in the main
entry We're thirty-eight more. The
s%earchers had not yet reached the north
entry, where it was expected most Of
the bodies would be found.
All the bodies are burned in an aw-
full manner. Many are without heads,
and others have the faces SO badly
burned n mutilated as to preclude all
possibility Of their eVer being recog-
nized. Several feet of ice at the bottom
Of the shaft delays the starting of the
bodies to the surface, but the obstruc-
ton is being cleared away as fast as
possible.
Among the bodies found was that of
a stranger. The clothes on it were
only slightly burned. Who he was or
what he was doing in the mine no one
seems to now While he is believed
to ave been Il miner who was maxi
ing a visit to the shaft, there is a pos
sibility that he was not, and he may
not have been aware of the danger in
gaseous mines. He may nave unwit-
tingly caused the explosion by lighting
a match. This is merely a conjecture
on the part of some of the searchers,
based on the fact that he escaped the
force of the explosion. which they say
would be heaviest in a direction away
from the point where the gas was
lighted, rather than right at that spot.
How Bodies Were Found.
H. A. McMiiIen, who led one of the
parties Of searchers, said: Fifteen
bodies We're found in Butt / OF the
south entry. All of them. with the
exception Of the stranger. were badly
burned and mangled. One had the
head blown off. In one room we found
two men lying, face downward, near
each ether. They had evidently been
killed by the force of the explosion.
In another place we found six men, all
negroes, five in a heap and one pinned
under a car. We found the driver Of
that entry lying along the roadway
where he had been blown. There are
undoubtedly men buried under rock in
parts of the mine. For this reason it
will be weeks before all the bodies will
be recovered
Inspector Cunningham say the air
in the mine is getting better every
hour, but there is still considerable gas
encountered. From the condition Of
the bodies he thinks now the men were
killed by the force of the explosion and
not by the after-damp, as at first sug-
gested.
At 1890 nineteen bodies had been
brought to the surface and there We're
about sixty-two at the foot of the
shaft.
AS fast as bodies reached the surface
they were taken to a morgue at the
schoolhouse, Where after being identi-
fled they were placed in collins pro-
vided by the company.

While one a was stationary, owing to
a quarrel between the conductor and a
passenger oVe- a fare.
Caused a Panic.
The car following crashed into the
stationary car with terrific force. A
dozen or more passengers on the rear
platform of the front car We're damned
together under the rear car. The at
lacking car could not Withstand the
force of the impact and for half it's
length it was crushed and passengers
inside thrown about on the floor under
the wrecked seats, While showers Of
broker glass fell upon them. Juregin,
the motorman. caught the full force Of
the collision. He was cut and crushed
and his back broken.
A panic ensued on both cars. Chill
dren and women were trampled on and
the weaker ones beaten against the
wreckage by their stronger fellows.
After the injured were removed from
the cars the front car started for the
sheds, its forward motor being intact.
So tightly We're the cars wedged to-
gether tina the first dragged the sec;
ond along, and both were almost COM
plete wrecks.

ton sS.tlers Building Houses,
Sinking Wells and Preparing
for Spring Work.

Pierre. S. D., Jan. 2S.-Regardlcss of
what the land office records may show,
and whether the claims hat all the set
Element west Of the river is only evil
Genced In those records, the following
from one Of the range papers is some
thing In the way of evidence. The sad
die appears to be rapidly going out or
date in this country. In Its place we
bee the top buggy and the stirring piow.
Only the future can demonstrate the
wisdom OF the change, but 1t is a condi-
ton that now prevails, nevertheless. A
few months since and almost any at
ternoon there would be seen a line OF
saddle horses hitched to the railing
along Main street. Today there is not
n saddle horse to half 9. dozen wagon
and as many buggies."
Besides such reports as this coming
from Oacoma, reports in the newspaper
service from Presho, Earling n other
range points contain items Of what the
residents of those sections are prepar-
Ing to do In the way of crop work the
coming spring, with the building OF
houses and the sinking of wells Cd the
homesteads. While. as there was In
the early settlement of the whole oil
South Dakota, there are many who are
simply figuring OF getting through,
there are hundreds OF others who are
just as good In their faith as any of
the old-tlme settlers, and they will be
found making their faith good all over
the country west of the river, with the
breaking p7ow and corn field this year..
Another Item is the fact that ranchers
are complaining that the homesteader
has incroached upon their range
try to such an extent that large ranges
are no longer possible. Many OF the
large cattle firms have been compelled
10 remove to South America, where
their operations will go on undisturbed
by the South Dakota homeseeker.

A CLEVER ARREST.
Watch Stolen Sunday Morning. Recovered
In Matamor0s and Thieves Arrested
Same Morning.

Early Sunday morning j. NJ.
Pu. tie, who is visitor here from
Fort Scott, Ark. while at down
town saloon, was robbed of his
watch, having left his vest hanging
up with the watch in it Suspicion
rested on two soldiers who had
been in the place and had sudden
ly disappeared. City Marshal Bates
was put on at once, traced the men
to Matamoros, and had them un-
der arrest there in short order.
He then appeared on the scene,
after the arrest, and very cleverly
appeared indignant at their arrest,
saying he was sure they were
innocent.
Meanwhile the watch had been
found at pawn shop, where the
men had gotten SIS on it. The
dealer was posted by Mr.. Bates to
pretend that they were not the
ones who pawned the watch, on
being confronted with the soldiers.
This he did, and the prisoners
were released, when Mr.. Bates ad-
vised them to come back to Browns
vile as the Matamoros authorities
might arrest them again. They
unsuspectingly came and OH land
ing at the ferry, Mr.. Bates arrested
them and took them to Jail. He
recovered 50 of the money they
had gotten on the watch The men
will have an examining trial to-
morrow.
Mr.. Puette is rejoicing in the
possession of his watch once more.
