AGAIN GRAND
RAPIDS WINS
Basketball Team Downs Stevens
Point Aggregation by a
Score Of 80 to IS.
FAST SNAPPY PLAYING
CHARACTERIZES GAME
Marvellous Improvement Seen
In Local Teams
Playing.

The Grand Rapids high school bas
ketball team defeated the high school
team from Stevens Point Friday even
ing, the score being 80 to Is.
This was the most interesting game
played here this season. All the boys
of the two teams seemed from the very
beginning intent on winning, this be-
ing shown by the way they got into
the game. All played fast. snappy
ball, which made the game exciting
from start to finish.
At the end of the first half the
score was Is to 9 in favor Of the local
team. During the first part Of the
second half the Pointers outplayed our
team and nearly tied the score, but
just when the boys from the Point had
their hopes the highest, the locals
started in dead earnest and basket af-
ter basket was made in quick success
sion by Voyer. Natwick and Lamber-
ton.
Throughout the game the audience
showed much enthusiasm, but the eli
max was reached when our boys started
their series of baskets in the second
half.
Frank Nimtz, one of Grand Rapids
best players, was unable to play. Clay
Lamberton filled his position and
made good showing, five baskets from
the field being credited to him. Nat
wick and Voyer showed up in their
usual fine form and played excellent
ball. Loeffelbein and Little, as guards
filled their positions we'll by keeping
the ball away from the opponents
goal and guarding their men in a most
credltable manner. Ray Sellers, cap.
tain of the Stevens Point team, Ger.
tainly did some fine goal throwing.
The Grand Rapids team has deve.
oped wonderfully during its short
basketball career and there is no rea-
son why it cannot be the best team in
this section of the state. 1t is hoped
that more games will be played here
In the future.

has been a consistent and faithful mem
Der Of the church of Christ. She loved
the house of God, the religious services
were her delight, the people of God her
friends and companions; and Of her it
can truly be said that she did what she
could for the church, and for the exten,

she proved the sweetness of divine pres

asleep in the arms of her Christ.
She departed this life to be with her
Lord at $50 on the morning of August

her loss husband and four children, q

Not Asking sympathy.

The Mitchell Republican comments
as follows with reference to The capital
campaign:
The matter of sympathy will not cut
the figure in the vote as it was expected
to do earlier in the campaign. 1t is not
a matter of sympathy. Losing the capi-
tai will not iDjure Pierre. The growth
and development Of town is due to its
citizens entirely, and if Pierre wants
to grow her business men can make
it,"
Pierre has not asked anybody's sym
pathy." But Pierre has asked the people
of South Dakota to consider their own
interests, even though they happen to be
! likewise the interest of Pierre.
OF course merely closing the capital
would not injnre Pierre"--if the capital
were all that is at issue in this cam
paign. Pierre was a brisk sort of burg
before she had the capital. But it
would njure Pierre to have the people
of the state render verdict of guilty
under Mitchell's outrageous indictment
Of thewhole splendid country west and
north of Pierre.
Even this, however, wouldn't necess-
| arily be matter Of great general con-
| Germ, if Pierre's interests were all that
| are involved.
But it is a matter OF great general con.
Germ of the whole state when such a ver-
dict of guilty would rob the state treas
ury of hundred of thousands of dollars
in taxes by keeping great area off the
assessment rolls for many years; and il
is matter of great general concern
when such a verdict would deprive the
state of millions of dollars, by impeach.

The new ruling Of the general land
Office end confirmed by the Secretary Of
the Interior, is quite an important one
to the miners holding mining claims in
side the boundaries of the black Hills
forest reserve. 1t is to the effect that in
all contests between an agricultural
claimant and mineral claimant, the
miner only has to show Jy his witnesses
that the ground ia mineral in character
and promises to make mine wit b due
development. Heretofore it has been
the rule that the agricultural claimant
had only to swear that his homestead
did not take in any mines that were
paying and his filing was accepted and
patent issued accordingly. Now after
it is too late all this is changed, but per-
haps it is better late than never"

The Tripoh Mines Near Custer.

Supt. f, c. N. Graydon, of the tripoli
mines southwest of town, is having
large warehouse constructed at Loring
station on the b. & NJ rairoad, six
miles south Of Pringle. This will be
erected for the purpose of storage and
for convenience in shipping. The dis
tance from Loring to the mines is about
three miles, and the material for the
present will be delivered in wagons.
! At the mines the carpenters are busy in
the erection of the buildings which are
necessary to the bAsiness which will
consist of the following: A mill for the
! grinding and grading Of the material,
| boarding house, a dry house, store
| house, and number of cottages for the
occupancy of the families of employees at
the works. There is no stream Of water
near this place, but there is a spring
which has constant flow the year
around, and it is calculated that by sink
ing deeper and establishing a reservoir
that sufficient water may be obtained
for all needed purposes
This industry when fully under way
will probably furnish employment to 20
or % men The material which is here
being mined is, it is said by scientists
| who have made the tests and examined
the ground to be a volcanic ash. Il is
derived from volcanoes and has been
carried by the winds and scattered over
a broad area of country. 1t is here
found in a deep and broad basin to
which place it has been washed in from
the flow and drainage, and is found
stratified in bed about 10 feet thick.
This bed of tripoli or volcanic ash is
underlaid by strata of fullers earth of
an excellent quality but for which there
is no sale at present. This arises from
the fact that, although there is vast
amount Of fullers earth used in this
country, the product is controlled by a
trust who import their supply from Eu
rope and do not want their monopoly
lulbTiGIIcu WIN. IL ls lDONBhG JhdJ
this condition of things will not always
continue and when a healthy ccmpeti-
ton obtains in this country there will
be good market for all the fullers earth
we can produce.
Although so closely associated in the
ground there is a vast difference in the
constituents of the two kinds of mater
ial. The tripoli, although very fine in
texture, is very silicious, in fact clear
grit, while the fullers earth has no grit
whatever The latter slacks up very
readily and form an intimate admixture
with either oil or water and it's principal
use is for the titering and purifying of
oils and lard Originally it was used
for the fu!linc Of cloth, and hence its
name. but It's use tor that purpose at
present in this country is very limited.
Tripoii, or the graded and manufactur-
ed article is similar to sOpholio taking
the place in large degree of that como.
dity, and is used for cleansing and
securing purposes
This bed or basin where the material
is found seems to extend over several
hundred acres. This has been ascer-
tanned by test pits which have been
sunk by the company, and the body has
been found to be sufficient TO last for a
great many years.
