Horseshoe Company Makes Another Rich Cleanup
One District Has Been Dubbed 1.-The Farm"

The Horseshoe company OF Lead
brick having been taken from a two
weeks rum. A lease has been taken
by the company on the old Snowstorm
shaft through which ore from the Ben
Hur mine will be hoisted. The COM
pany is making regular shipments to
Denver of the high-grade ore taken
from the Ben Hur mine. The mill is
dropping seventy stamps, which gives
a capacity of close to $50 tons of ore a
day. One district in this mine is so
fun Of ore that it is called "the farm"
These chutes in some instances are
300 to 600 feet in width and 10 feet to
40 feet in thickness and several miles
in length.
Rich ore has been encountered in
the long tunnel Of the Lexington Hill
property. A tunnel is being driven
800 feet to strike a ledge of quartzite
ore. Unexpectedly some vertical veins
were cut through which carry high
values. The company is planning to
enlarge its mill to 200 tons a day.
Shipments Of ore have been COM
menced on the Eleventh Hour prop
erty, on the western edge of the Rag
ged Top district. There are several
chutes of ore, supposed to be the ex-
tensions of the Spearfish company's
ore bodies.
Work has been commenced for q

Board Meets Next Month and Promo
ters Are Working Hard.
The board Of irrigation will meet in
Belle Fourche on Aug. 20, a number Of
officials connected with the reclama-
ton service to be present. Those in
terested locally in the furthering Of
this irrigation matter are using all the
efforts possible to get the owners Of
land along the proposed bitches to
sign over their property to the Belle
Fourche Valley Water Users associ-
alton. Unless the orders of the recla-
nation service are concurred in it is
possible that the i~rrigating project
will be laid over until next year. How
ever, thus far there has been but lit
tie objection on the part of the land
owners to sign over their land. At
Rapid City a special meeting is to be
called o fthe land owners along lower
Box Elder, which is a part of the irri-
eating scheme. 1t is expected that by
Aug. 80 all the requirements will be
complete and that the work will be
taken up Immediately.

FARMERS ARE BUSY.
Oats Arc Being Cut In Clay County
South Dakota,


These are busy days for Clay county
farmers and from this time OF the ac-
tivity on the farm will be great. The
harvest season is at hand. A great
many farmers began cutting oats last
week and all are in the fields this
week. Oats will probably average in
the vicinity Of fifty bushels per acre.
Next week attention will be directed
toward the wheat fields, which have
ripened fast the past few days. Corn
is jumping along at a rapid rate and
Is no longer considered backward.
The past ten days OF hot weather has
done the business. Nothing but an
unusually early frost, if weather con-
ditions remain firm, can rob the farm
ers of one Of the biggest and best corn
crops ever cribbed. There has been
some talk that late potatoes would not
mature as they should, but big grow
ers see no reason for this statement.
Potatoes should be the cheapest this
fall that they have been in four years.

berry gulch by the Puritan company.
The plant was recently bought from
the North Star company neal Custer.
The Homestake company is drop.
ping 1000 stamps in its six mills. The
Anxious mill was recently enlarged
with 120 stamps, making it 300 stamps
altogether. This is the largest stamp
mill in the world. The company is
hosting and treating more than 1000
tons Of ore every twenty-four hours.
Some important experiments are being
carried on at the experimental plant
on the shines, which carry value in
the ore. Several persons from the
East are here working on the problem.
1t is expected that some of the proc
esses will be completed sufficiently to
treat the shines the same as the tail
ings are being treated, which will add
greatly to the daily saving on the ore.
The company offers a royalty on the
shines thus treated, which makes it an
incentive for inventors to work on the
process. d. C. Boley Of D%eadwood
says he has a process perfected.
The first carload OF ore has been
shipped from the Black Hills to the
experimental plant at the worlds fair.
1t was taken from the Golden Reward
mine at Terry. The next shipment
will be taken from the Spearfsh Gold
Mining company's plant at Ragged
Top. It is expected that 1900 tons Of
ore will be shipped.

Quite a scare has been created
among the people of Hudson and W.

killed after an exciting chase, 1t is
feared that it may have bitten some
of the 'numberless dogs which are
owned by residents of Hudson and
further trouble in the mad dog line is

PRAIRIE CHICKENS THICK.

Reports from various parts OF the
state indicate that prospects for a
fine prairie chicken shooting could not
be brighter than at present. The sea-
son has been exceptionally favorable
for Matching and the covies are large
and the birds unusually we'll devel-
oped. The chickens are now about
three-Quarters grown. The shooting
season does not open until Sept. J..
Because Of the fact that the birds are
20 numerous and large, game wardens
will have q strenuous time preventing
wholesale shooting prior to that date.

Boston, May 24.-The state legis-
lature has passed bill which has gone
to the governor for his signature, for
the purpose of stopping the corruption
OF employees by the giving and receiv-
iLg of brides. Thu practice is said to
be quite general throughout New Eng
land. and the manufacturers particu-
larry regard the corruption as

gratuity whatever, with intent to infu-
ence his action in regard to his prin-
ciples, employers or masters business,

ment or with an understanding that he
shall act in any particular manner in
regard to his employers business,
shall be punished by fine of not less
than $40 nor more than $500, or i'm
prisonment for not more than one year
The act is designed to prevent the
payment of commissions on purchases
of supplies or for the use of the en-
ployes' influence by bribing him, to Sc
cure contracts, appointment to posi-
ton or by any act by which the en-
ployer is imposed upon 1t probably

Gals have not received any further in

csc movement in the direction of

vicinity to move northward, thus CIV
ing the Japanese an opportunity to
complete Their. preparations CO capture
Polt Arthur. when the Japanese be-
gin a determined movement in this
vicinity it will be from Feng-Wang-
Cheng and New Chwang. They figure
that it does not matter what may be

continue to control the sea and Port
Arthur.
The Japanese are still fortifying the
hills on the neck of land between Ia
lien-Wan and -Kin-Chou bays. Many
rap!d-fire guns protected by sandbags.
have been mounted there, with the
obj0ct of resisting sortie of the be-
